posits during the week ended August

the longer term time deposits, in the

The movement resulted largely, they
said, from desire to increase the earn

Another factor in the shift, they
pointed out. was the recall of coun-

HIGHWAY DEATHS INCREASE

Raleigh, State highway deaths,
showing an upward trend all the
spring and summer, reached 81 for
July, last, against rs for July, 1896,
and brought the seven months total
to $50, an increase of Al over the
previous year.
Thus passed all hope Of a pears
reduction since the fall months are
great killers with the money crop
harvests which are expressed in
more automobiles. So far as the
figures go it does not appear that
drinking is back of this highway
slaughter.
The easy accounting for it is that
there are many more machines on
the roads. The present high is a
mountain above any previous year.
There are more than 100000 licen-
Sed machines.

"You move what?" Shafer de-
manded. You know darn well I
can't dismiss it! What becomes of

''This is mighty serious offense,

what we want is to hold him without

They were at the point Of the
whole thing, now. If the "a had
chance, it depended on the activity
of Wheeler, who, with his credit
and his cow finance connections,
might gain time for Horse Dunn.
Not the danger of ultimate convic-
ton, but delay on a trumped-up
charge was what Wheeler feared.
Horse Dunn snarled in his throat,
and there was an instant's silence.
Nothing could have shown the force
of the man and the resented power
he held, better that that! "Order!"
said Judge Shafer, looking startled.
Order in the COURT" His command
sounded fantastic in that quiet
room, for Dunn said nothing.
'This," Amos went on, lis a
wealthy man, as folks around here
go. And he's lined up with wealthy

for it. That's all I got to say"
"You want to say anything.

Judge, if it's got so man can't

The Base for Paint

Paint generally is composed Of a
base, a vehicle and a drier. The
base is the chief ingredient of the
paint, and may be one or a COM
bination of several different COM
pounds, such as white lead, zinc
lead, zinc white. red lead, iron OK
ide, and others. When the desired
color is not obtained by the use of
bases, additional coloring pigments,
such as chrome green, Prussian
blue and the like, may be incorpo-
rated. The vehicle is the liquid por-
ton Of the paint, which gives it its
covering quality; the commonest is
linseed oil.

Chromium Is a Silvery,
Hard Crystalline Metal

Chrome yellow, chrome steel,
chrome leather. chrome green, and
chrome alum are the names Of a
number of outwardly highly dissim-
liar materials. and the layman may
wonder why a single adjective,
chrome, is used to describe all Of
them. The word means that they
all contain the element chromium, q
substance whose unusual and varied
properties give it an unusual posi-
ton in the chemical industry. says
DR.. Thomas NJ Beck. in the Chi
cago Tribune.
Chromium is a silvery, hard, crys-
talline metal II is about as heavy
as iron and melts at about the same
temperature. 1t is obtained chiefly
from the ore chromite, which is
found in a few scattered deposits,
chiefly in Rhodesia and New Gale
donia. The ore is a compound Of
chromium with oxygen and iron. It
is worked up by roasting with soda
at high temperatures in a current of
air. The resulting mass is then
washed with hot water, which dis
solves the chromium content as one
of its compounds, sodium chromate,
which may then be converted into
the other desired compounds of the
metal.
The name chromium is derived
from a Greek word meaning color.
The compounds of many metals,
such as aluminium, lead, or zinc, are
colorless unless, of course, they
are combined with some color-pro-
ducing elemenD. Compounds of
most other metals exhibit a single
characteristic color, such as the
blue Of copper compounds or the
green of nickel. But the many COM
pounds of chromium present an ar
ray of color that can be matched
only by Joseph's coat.

Circus Giants Die Young

There are two kinds of tall men.
The first kind is a normal individual
who is tall because of inherited fac
tors received from tall parents or
more remote ancestors. The second
kind includes those whose normal
pattern would be of medium height.
but who, because of some upset of
the glandular system, develops very
long legs and other bone abnormal
tiles. The tallest men are included
in the second type, which is well
known to the public as the circus
giant Record of seven men whose
height ranged from 7 feet 6 inches
to 8 feet inches were secured and
it was found their average age at
death was thirty-four years. The
oldest lived to forty-fve and the
youngest to twenty-nine years. The
mortality data of 10000 men rang
ing from 6 feet 2 inches to z feet l
inch obtained from records were
examined and it was found that the
tall men had a practically normal
mortality for their age.
