pAINT that can give and take wear
and tear Is reality today. We
have Just been reading about new
principle in house paint which boils
down to the ability to stand stresses
and strains caused by time and
weather.
All paint pigments are made up Of
billions Of microscopic particles OF
solid material. The sizes and shapes
Of the individual pigment particles are
very important in the end results of
the paint, according to the new theory,
for each has something to contribute
to the goal The new principle con-
sists Of combining in one paint three
kinds OF particles: Fibrous or needle
shaped ones Qike tiny splinters) !;
broad fiat ones Qike sheets OF paper), I,
and granular ones dixie sugar or salD.
II you get house paint with these
three kinds Of pigment particles prop
erly proportioned, according to the
interesting dissertation one large pig
ment manufacturer has had its
scientists turn out, 1t will do three
things essential for house paint. The
paint will hang together, because Of
the needle particles that knit the
mass; the dried Aim will be able to
move with the expansion and contrac-
ton Of the wood underneath. the way
deck Of cards can move, because OF
those fat, sheetlike particles, and the
pigment will also fill up corners and
cracks in the elastic fllm-by means
of the granular particles.
You would have to have a micro
scope to prove that all these things
can happen in that familiar product.
paint out we are willing to believe
anything, such is our respect for the
wonders of science-and especially the
science Of paint chemistry. Years of
laboratory work have wrought great
advances in paint, Of which this new
three-fashioned pigment is the latest.
Paints containing the pigments made
up Of needlelike, sheetlike and granular
particles are now on the market, both
for printing and for finish work-with
the right amount of each sort OF

doors"
Old doors seem to be treasured along
with old floors. as artistic achieve
ments which are worth preserving,
even when a house is slated to be
modernized. The reason for this, un-
doubtedly, is that our forefathers built
them Of such fine woods, made them
so simple, entirely abstained from pos
sible faulty adornment, that the doors
are conspicuous today in world which
is full of too elaborately designed and
sometimes heavily decorated doors
But 1t is only the occasional one Of
us who finds house containing exam

70 Per Cent Over Seven

Building construction in the Wash

first seven months was reported today
by the Dodge reports division of F..
w. Dodge Corp. In this report on
local construction activities, H. A.
Johns, manager of the corporations
Washington office, called attention to
the strong position of the residential
gain as compared with the increase of
81 States covered by the Dodge survey
At the close of July, residential
work in the Washington area, includ-
ing the District Of Columbia, Arlington
and Fairfax Counties in Virginia. Mont
gomery and Prince Georges Counties
in Maryland, was 70 per cent over
the corresponding figure in 1896. This
gain was far ahead of the average of
~ per cent recorded for the 81 States
east OF the Rocky Mountains. The
July 81 total for residential contracts
was S37, 1853, ,700 which compares favor
ably with last years seven-month

month Of July, contracts amounted to
s7,4148oO, rise over July, 1896, when
this was s4,o86.7o0
Residential Jobs Gain.
Non-residential contracts were 18
per cent over those of the first seven
months of 1886. This is less than the
national average gain of 20 per cent.
The current total in the Washington
area is s22, ,l50,l0O. That of the
same period OF 1886 amounted to
sl8,798,7OO.
All private construction contracts
during the months of January through
July totaled $42, ,72960O That is a
"A per cent gain over the same
period OF 1885. Last years total was
s42,72e,eoO.
Public Construction Ahead.
Ihe Dodge corporation continues
Its report by pointing out that public
construction, trailing the dollar value
OF private work contracts, was ahead
OF the 1886 figure for seven months.
The average throughout the 81 Eastern

maximum of heat is almost all the

There are various ways claimed by
the manufacturers of boilers to pro-
vide outstanding virtue, but one of the
most interesting is that of a company
which makes a residential oil-burning
boiler patterned after those which
have been used in industrial plants
for many years because Of their fuel
saving ability.
This boiler, in the first place, is
steel rather than cast iron. Second,
1t is equipped with water tubes, many
Of them, forming ring circuit through
which the water circulates.
What this does, according to the
makers, Is to make the water circu-
late more actively so that it picks up
heat units faster and also carries
them into the heating system more
rapidly. Instead Of passing to the
chimney in a solid mass the heated
gases are broken up into small cur
rents by the many water tubes, a

 BELFAST, Northern Ireland, Aug. 2-Irish political passions exploded into a series of acts of violence when King George and Queen Elizabeth made a Corona tion visit to Ulster.
 Authorities blamed extremist Irish republicans for dynamiting of a railroad bridge near Dun dalk in the Irish Free State: the burning or blowing up of twenty eight customs houses on the Nor thern Ireland Free State border, and marauders terrorized resid- ents by firing revolvers.
 Telegraph and telephone lines were cut, and a gas main explod- ed in Belfast while the King and Queen were half a mile away en- route to the City Hall. Unper- turbed they rode through crowd ed Belfast streets, cheered by one million persons.

 Gree n testified before the Sen- ate Judiciary Committee in favor of the Presidents Supreme Court Plan. Opposition senators did their best to pick his testimony to pieces, but Professor Green acquitted himself ably under his cross-examination and no senator was able to shout him down.
 The best his questioners could do was to show that previously he had expressed dissimilar views in speeches or writings.
 But the very next day came onto the news stands in which Green had an article defending legality of the sitdown strike. This was all the conver- vative senators would have need ed. They would have had a field day with the professor.
