Hung Flag on Chimney
Nick Manner was the steadiest
pilot in the company. His most
famous stunt, however, developed
through the class rush at the Uni
versity of Minnesota. The engi-
neers wanted to hang a flag on
the high chimney on the farm
campus. Baked by ordinary meth
ods, they hit upon the idea of hlr-
ing stunt flier for the job
Manner flew the ship, with Elmer
Hinck hanging head-down by his
knees on the undercarriage. The
flag was sewed on a tennis net.
The idea was TO fly over the
chimney and drop the net over it.
The execution was difficult for
every time Manner would fly over
the chimney, a puff of hot air
would send his light craft zoom-
ing.
Finally, Manner became desper-
ate. He aimed the ship directly at
the top of the chimney. The trick
worked, but Elmer Hinck struck
the lightning rod and was almost
jerked from his perch He still
carries the scar on his leg.

Planning a new color scheme for
your room? It's pleasant, but some
times bewildering, occupation. With so
many delightful combinations from
which to choose, it's not strange If
you feel as If you were afloat in a sea
Of color chips. Suddenly, perhaps, your
eye will light on length of fabric con-
tanning soft and lovely tint of hy-
acinth blue-or on a magazine cover
with a background Of creamy orange
yellow-and you will pounce upon the
color sample with the realization that
here is the wall color for which you
were searching.
Now comes the job of translating
that color into a velvety paint coating
for your wall. Perhaps you can match
the sample on color card and then
merely order the paint from the chip.
If you can't, though, don't feel that you
need to give up your dream of having
the wall the color Of your sample. It
is merely a matter of squeezing the
proper tube colors out into q bowl or
an empty can. adding q little turpen-
tine to thin the pigment and then STIR
ring the liquid color thoroughly into
the basic paint, bought ready mixed or
mixed Tor the purpose. When the COL
oring you desire is obtained. the mix
ture should be strained through a wire

1t is wise to have your paint mixed
at least "a hours before it Is to be used

RESOURCES GROW
Perpetual Of Washington
Keeps Place as Largest
in LEAGUE,

First statistical evidence Of the
growth Of savings, building and loan
resources during 1887 comes today in
q report from H. F. Cellarius, secre-
tary-treasurer of the United States
Building g. Loan League. in a list
Of the leagues member associations
having assets over $4,000, 900. There
are 108 Of this classification as of De-
cember 81. 1887, and more than half
Of them, 81. reported gains in assets
when compared with the same period
year ago.
This is the largest proportion Of the
institutions this size to show net gains
since 1890. Most Of the group made
the major part Of their gain in the
first six months Of 1887, but continued
to show improvement, although at not
so rapid a pace, during the last half.
Perpetual Retains Place.
The Perpetual Building Association
OF Washington retained its place as
the largest institution within the
United States Building e. Loan League.
It had assets totaling SAC, ,784, ,020 as
Of December 81. Edward C. Baltz, Sec
retary Of Perpetual, is president Of
the National Building and Loan
League.
There were seven other Washington
institutions having assets of more

ance that your finished work will look
right is right foundation.
We heard about a compound for
doing this surface work, which comes
in dry powdered form and Is ready
for use when it is merely mixed with
little water. You can add white lead,
spar varnish or colors in oil to this
If you want to make real Swedish
putty out of it. But with only the
water it will adhere to wood, plaster,
wallboard, concrete, canvas, metal and
painted surfaces.
It Is particularly good for filling in
joints between sections OF wallboards,
so you can paint the whole with a
plastic paint-without using strips Of
wood, composition or metal to cover
the joints.
ONE new problem which has come
into modern life, with the wide
spread use Of automatic heating. is
what shall we do with the rubbish?
Time was when you could go and dump
wastebasketful Of papers into the
furnace. But furnaces and boilers
are so independent these days that no
self-respecting householder would
dream Of upsetting the detached EN-
cheney Of the system by burning any
thing but the regular fuel.
So incinerators are an absolute
necessity. No home can be without
one unless there Is several-times-a-day
municipal or community garbage COL
lection.
There is new incinerator on the
market, designed for the home. which
requires less than seven cubic feet of
basement space. There are no hampers
to operate, no burners to turn on or

Dish, close the door and everything

it "the incinerator that really works. :"

It can be connected quickly to the

n YEXT month being the tradi-
M tional period of high winds,
" this is the time to investigate
new type of window venti-
lator that will let air into your bed

draughts which usually are airs draw

A simple arrangement, really; we
are surprised no one thought OF it
before The ventilator consists OF
two galvanized sheet metal plates with
holes punched in them. The plates
are welded together so that the holes
in the outside plate are not in line
anywhere with those in the inside
plate. In other words, they're
staggered. so that no current Of air
can pass directly through.
Most window ventilators have stats

they are made Of glass and defect

mans head and shoulders, when he Is
standing. But the air comes in direct
streams, and for some persons this
Is said to be uncomfortable. Air which
trickles in cannot be detected at all,
we are told-even II you stand on q
chair or put your hands in front of
the ventilator. @
These draughtless ventflators are
not expensive. They are finished with
one coat of weatherproof paint, baked
on, in either aluminium or ivory, and,
OF course, being galvanized, they won't
rust If March grows temperamental
and gives us snowstorm. Made in
three sizes-17 by 80 inches, 30 by
40 and 40 by so, they should fit every
size window.
Each ventilator has two sections
that slide together to make any width
you desire. They are installed in
channel brackets outside the windows
easily done-and the brackets and
screws come with the ventilator. You
can put them at the top or the bottom
OF the window.

When mixing paint for the walls of

actual color you desire? The reason?
-Four wall surfaces-by rejecting each

i. GAIN 5PER CENT
December Total Reveals
Good Revenue Rise Over
1886 Period.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.


Receipts at the City Post Office in
December reached the sum of $685.
e90.23, an increase of $4,640.25 over
postal revenues in December, 1885, it
was learned today This was a gain
OF practically per cent over the pre-
vious year in the same month.
The report is in line with the an
nouncement made few days ago by
the Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
mond which stated that retail trade
IN Washington was slightly higher in
December, 1887, than in December,
1896.
Postal revenues include funds from
the sale Of regular stamps, special de-
livery stamps, money orders. registered
parcel post; in short, from all revenues
for postal services.
1t is interesting to note that the
gain of per cent in postal revenues
IN December was at the same rate as
that reported by the Railway Express
