doing their part in the recovery pro-
gram, and he has now persuaded them
to relax credit extension conditions
and thereby make money available in
the channels Of general commerce.
To begin with he conferred with men,

Jesse Jones, chairman Of the Recon

corning methods by which the bankers
might be induced to grant loans on
classes of security which they have not
been willing to accept.
Bankers ought to resume the financ-
ing of ordinary commercial opera
tions." General Johnson said. II have
studied the figures on commercial
credit trends recently. and i do not
think they indicate much loosening up
on the part Of bankers.
1--WE are working on that now. but
listen, the ordinary banker wants
sound risks. Most of them got pretty
badly burnt in past years, and we've
got to establish some basis for assur-
ing them safety.
II don't believe you can force ex-
tension of credit by fat. The whole
trouble in this country has been lack
of confidence by all classes of people,
and we've got to do what we can to
bring confidence in business. in loans,
and in the future back again."

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-When an
exhibitor at A Century of Progress
decided to make piece of toast for
himself, he didn't know he was 60
ing to create more excitement on
the fair grounds than even the
Streets of Paris have aroused. 1t
happened this way:
The exhibitor placed a slice of
bread in an electric toaster. The
heat from the toaster set off the
automatic fire alarm system. Be-
fore the bread had been Drowned,
the city fire fighting department
stationed on the grounds was on
the scene, with hose ready to play
a stream on the supposed fire.
Gazing at the toast, the firemen
hauled III their hose, climbed back
on their apparatus and with a loud
changing of gongs retired to head
quarters.
This is demonstration of what
is perhaps the most efficient fire
alarm system in all the world. It
is a combination of copper tubing
and copper wire. The tubing, if laid
end to end, would extend over a
distance of forty-two miles, or from
the fair grounds across the lake to
Michigan City.
1t would reach from one end of

Ordinary mountainous paints are

ranks as one Of the greatest food
producing states in the union, it is
shown by statistics gathered in a
national survey made public at A
Century Of Progress.
The survey was made by food
stuffS experts Of the Great Atlantic
81 Pacific Tea Company. Statistics
on the state-by-state production of
foods were compiled after six
months research in the archives of
federal and state bureaus for the
purpose of designing "A Food Map
of the United States" which just
has been hung at A Century of
Progress.
Virtually every foodstuff possible
in its temperate climate is produced
in Indiana. In canned goods, the
state leads the nation in several
items, including hominy, of which
Indianas output is 5l.16 per cent
of the country's total; beans. 33.42
per cent; pumpkin and squash, 44.88
per cent. and tomato pulp 34.78 per
cent. The state ranks fourth in

third in tomatoes, 1905 per cent;
seventh in canned corn, 1872 per

FIRST COAT OF
PAINT USELESS
Second and Following Ones
Protect Wood Against
Weathering.
Ry Science Serrice

MADISON, Wis. Aug. 21.-The
first coat Of paint by itself is al
most useless in protecting wood
against weathering. The assumption
that the second and third coats
were for appearance and durability
alone is shown to be incorrect from
tests conducted by F. L. Browne on
many types of paints at the Forest
Products Laboratory
1t is claimed that the major por-
ton Of the protection offered by
paint comes from second and
further coats. Mills that supply lum-
Der primed for protection against
shipment and handling are vast
ing their efforts.
There are two general types of
primers on the market, aluminium
and granular white pigment paints.
AS a primer alone, aluminium paint
is less effective than white paints,
but it seems to serve as a better
base for further coats of ordinary
paints to make a complete protec-
tive cover.
Browne states that special prim-
ers can be developed that will offer
good protection against moisture by
themselves and will serve as suitable
bases for Aurable coats of ordinary
paints. A perfect primer would be
one that would contain enough pig
ment in the proper form to exert a
capillary action in opposition to that
of the wood so that absorption of
oil out OF the top coats of paint
would be kept at a minimum.

taxing atmosphere will soon be in

AS usual, it Is the advertisers who
have gone ahead with these
schemes. A visitor to the Century
of Progress can see many CONNER
cial exhibits featuring this new use
of the ultraviolet. Wall paper
changes its design from a simple
geometric pattern in the day to an
aquarium design under artificial
illumination.
A single poster may have three
different scenes painted on it. The
surroundings Of group of children
playing in sunsuits change from a
beach in the middle of summer to
modern nursery equipped with
sun lamps in the winter.
The development of the black
bulb ultraviolet lamp brings these
properties of certain pigments,
known for more than 300 years, into
commercial use. 1t is similar to the
ultraviolet health lamps, but is
shielded by a dense purple glass
that cuts off all the visible light.
These lamps may be wired into
the ordinary 110-volt electric light
circuits and are small enough to
be concealed in a hidden fixture.
The invisible light that it generates
may be directed upon the painted
designs.
The phosphorescent paint stores
up energy from the invisible ultra
violet light and glows more feebly
than the fluorescent paint so that it
does not interfere with the second
design.
When all the light, both ordinary
and ultraviolet, is turned off, the
phosphorescent paints will continue
to shine in the dark, in much the
same way as luminous dials of
watches.

Mechanism Enables Every
Conversation to Be
Recorded.
By Science Serrice


Many canny business men count
among the advantages of the tele-
phone not merely its speed and the
immediate entree its imperative bell
gives to their correspondents atten-
ton, but also and especially the
fact that it makes no possibly en-
barrassing permanent record Of
transactions which for one reason
or other they may wish to leave
unrecorded.
But that latter advantage will be
taken away from the telephone, If
the teleScriptor, the invention of a
German engineer, comes into COM
mon use. The telescriptor is SIM
pie and compact mechanism where
by permanent. unbreakable
monograph disk is made of any
telephone conversation which the
user desires to make a matter of
record.
1t consists essentially of small
microphone which the user can at
tach TO his telephone ear by means
Of an ordinary heat-Set spring. To
the outer side he applies the tele-
phone receiver, and carries on the
conversation in the ordinary way.
The instrument takes toll of both
sides Of the conversation, feeding it
into a radio simplifying set, and
thence to the recording photograph.
The disk when finished can be

graph.
The uses of such a device would
seem to be almost endless. Aside
