Paint Durability Explained

The life of paint coating is said
to depend upon three things-the
quality of the paint, its application,
and the condition to which it is ex-
posed. A good paint, well applied
to a frame house and exposed to
ordinary weather conditions should
protect the surface adequately for
from three to five years.

to Be BrOadened.
Recent Improvements in the au-
tomobile industry are expected to
benefit the farmer directly by pro-
viding market for a large por-
ton of his corn crop.
The lacquer AMI lacker thinner
used in painting automobiles this
year are made from alcohol prod
uctS distilled in the heart of the
western corn belt from American
grown corn.
A single automobile manufacturer
estimates that his production dur
ing the next month will consume
nearly $4,000 bushels of corn, with a
yearly estimate set at half a mil
lion bushels.
If the 100000 cars scheduled for
production during this year make
use of a proportionate amount of
this corn product, it is pointed out
the effect on general agricultural
prosperity will be considerable.

EXPECTS RECOVERY ERA
TO AFFECT DECORATIONS
Official Painters Society Predicts
Neutral Tones for Homes.
By Times Special


WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The
new deal in home decoration will
take on the colorS of security and
greater peacefulness, according to
Joseph Eckart, officer of the Inter-
national Society of Master Painters
and Decorators.
The postwar era, the jazz age,
with their exciting colors and gar
nish novelties, are out of date, Mr..
Eckart believes, and subdued hui
man emotions, subdued colors in
the home, will reflect the transition
into recovery.
Color in the home affects our
psychology and determines our dis
positions" Mr.. Eckart said. After
the hectic past decade, we all want
rest, and neutral colors bring
peace to the soul. We expect the
new color tendency in home decora-
tionto be toward tones that are
cheerful without being exciting"

Competent Painter Should Be Con-
suited for Special Problems.

Special painting problems that
endanger the protection of property

scribed as an individual who knows
paints, understands what each type
and grade of paint can and can
not do, is capable of determining
whether or not a surface is in
proper condition to be painted, and
in addition is familiar with the
proper methods for applying paint
to achieve satisfactory results.

COAL TRUCK CROWDED OFF
ROAD BY FREIGHT TRUCK

J. c. Kelly of Crow Agency, re-
turning from Manchester with a
truck load of coal, last Friday
evening, was crowded off the road
by one of the big freight trucks,
about two miles south of Wyola.
His truck was upset and it was
some little time before he came
to from a bump on the top of
his head. He reports that there
was a binding snow storm, with
a heavy wind blowing at the time
and he doubted if the driver of
the freight truck even saw him,
as he did not stop. There were
seven more cars and trucks in
the ditch that evening, between
Rapchester and Wyola, some of
them just sliding off the grade
while others were bottom side up.

IN WASHINGTON TO PUSH
:. ~ BIG HORN DAM PROJECT
John J. Harris, Former Hardin
Resident, Again on the Job
in National Capital.

Pioneer exponent of the Big Horn
dam, and one of the. leaders, in
the fight for its construction, J.. J.
Harris, former Hardin resident,
Tuesday was en- route from Chi
cago to washington to again take
up the cudgel for the SIG, 0O0, 900
project he conceived some IS years
ago, says Wednesdays Billings
Gazette.
This word was received by w.
w. Gail, chairman Of the Com
mercia1 club committee working
toward the same end.
ALTHOUGH DR.. l.. H. Labbitt re-
Gently was designated by the Big
Horn Dam association to repre-
sent it in the national capital,
the need for the immediate pres
ence was deemed so necessary by
Mr.. Harris that he volunteered to
act until the arrival of the Hardin
physician, Mr.. Gail was informed.
When DR.. Labbitt will depart for
Washington had not been de-
termined Tuesday. Last week he
planned to start at once. How
ever, it was said that his de-
parture probably will be delayed
until after the budget drive of the
Billings Commercial club. The
club December 80 voted an appro-
-pfiation Of $3.50 to help finance
the undertaking.
Mr.. Harris spent several weeks
in Washington last summer and
fall. During his stay he did much
to advance the project in the
eyes of the administration, Mr.
Gail said. He. attributed the pres
emit status Of the undertaking to
Mr.. Harris initiative.
The dam undertaking is now
under consideration as a PWA
project. It recently was advo-
Gated by Senator B. K. Wheeler
and has at various times been
endorsed as a Missouri flood con-
troll enterprise. Among its ex-
ponents is the Missouri River Nav
igation association, regarded as
one of the most powerful water
ways organizations in the west.

BIDS-FAVOR BIG HORN DAM PROJECT

In one of the most largely at
tended councils of the Crow In
dian tribe held in years-there
being over 400 present, Wednes-
day, it was decided to send a del
egation of three members of the
tribe to Washington, &C., to
represent the Crow tribe in mat
tiers pertaining to their affairs.
The meeting which was presided
over by Charles Yarlott, vice
chairman, was an adjourned ses-
sion from the Wednesday before.
It opened Wednesday afternoon at
two and continued until 1880
Thursday morning. A recess was
taken at $50, when all sat down
to a feast of buffalo meat, sent
the tribe from Yellowstone Nat
ional Park.
The principal speakers for the
Crow tribe were Robert Yellow
tail, Harry Whiteman, Max Big
Man. Frank Yarlott and Russell
White Bear, while the Indian de-
partment was represented. by RID.
Millin, acting superintendent of
the Crow reservation.
The main question before the
council was whether to accept or
reject the proposal of the gov
eminent that each member of the
Crow tribe give a power of at
torney to the agency superintend-
ent to lease their lands on the
permit system for a period of one
year.
The Indians commended that this
would be an infringement of their
rights granted them in the con-
gressional leasing act of 1920. In
the course of the discussion the
Indian speakers cited the stand
taken March II, 1882, by John Col
lier before his appointment as
Commissioner of Indian Affairs
condemning former Secretary of
the Interior Wilbur and former
Commissioner of Indian affairs
Rhodes for their action in approx
ing the power of attorney and
permit system.
After the discussion closed, the
tribal council unanimously voted
against accepting the power of
attorney and permit system, and
