And be certain that your paint protection is as re*
liable and dependable as your fire insurance.
Two'thirds the cost of a painting job is labor.
Heroe, to use the best paint adds but little to the
first cost. It is cheapest in the end.
Pure Prepared Paint and Phoenix Pure Paint are
made of only pure linseed oil, pure white lead and
pure pigments. ‘Cheaper” paints are made of cheap*
er materials, hence the film they form doesn't ‘‘hold
up”—it doesn’t last and it doesn’t protect.
Ask any Fuller Dealer. Write for free book, “Your
Home as Others See It”—illustrated in colors—
suggests many color schemes. For all large jobs con*
suit a master painter.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 10. (£>)
—Secretary Davis of the War Depart
ment, has the unique distinction of
having before him for approval a re
port signed by himself on his own ac
tivities! as Assistant Secretary of War.
The document is his annual report as
Assistant Secretary to the Secretary,
And was signed by Mr. Davis before
Secretary Weeks’ resignation, altho’
the former secretary did not act upon
any of its recommendations, leaving
that to his successor.
As Assistant Secretary and in charge
of the general War Department pro
curement program, as well as of the
industrial mobilization planning, Mr.
Davis stressed in his report the im
portance of representation of his of
fice in the) department’s budgetary su
pervision machinery.
“It has seemed to me of paramount
importance,’’ he said, “that in consid
eration of the Army budget, my office
should be represented in order to as
sist in presenting the point of view of
the supply branches. Past history has
indicated that in general the appro
priation needs of the supply branches
are sacrificed to those of personnel,
a condition which can be remedied
only by constant watchfulness and
continuing effort.”
The arrangement for such supervi
sion by the Assistant Secretary’s of
fice was made with Mr. Weeks’ ap
proval during the period covered by
the report.
Explaining the methods for coordi
nating supply purchases and shaping
them to the best available market con
ditions, the Assistant Secretary said
he established' contact with other gov
ernmental agencies in order to obtain
estimates on future market conditions
as to commodities the Army would
purchase in quantity in any year.
This information had been provided
to purchasing officers in time ior them
to take advantage and plan tlieir pro
curements under most favorable mar
ket conditions.
