PROTECTION
PAINT-PROTECTION against depreciation
just as necessary and wise as insurance-protec
tion against fire!
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.
Hence, 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.

Home as Others See It”—illustrated in colors—
suggests many color schemes. For all large jobs con*
suit a master painter.

RESEARCH WORKERS
PREDICT MAN WILL
LIVE FOR 150 YEARS
LONDON, May 13.—(/P)—That the
span of life can be extended to 150
years at the cost of a sixpence a
head, is the argument of Sir Ron
ald Ross, the English scientist
whose researches have lead to cures
for malaria and sleeping sickness.
Sir Donald claims that a sixpence
from the pocket of every English
man spent in scientific research,
wrould result in new medical knowl
edge that would keep germs and
old age away for at least 150 years.
The scientist thinks that the allot
ted span of three score years and ten
should find man in the prime of life,
instead of edging his pedal extrem
ity toward the grave. We live cur
tailed lives, he says, because we are
the prey of countless genus. Con
quer the germs and man can easily
reach the age of 150 and maybe
longer.
iMgiuy years ago,'' saia sir Ron
ald in a lecture, “the average life of
a London man was about 34 years
7 months and of a woman 28 years
4 months. Today it is 53 years 9
months and 59 years. Thus
medical science in 80 years has giv
en us 20 years more of life.”
This start on cheating trinity has
just begun, the speaker continued.
Nowadays the equivalent of one pen
ny a head is being spent in Britain
for research, and he asserted that
the spending of a sixpence a head
would make the monkey gland use
less.
A scientist of the Pasteur Insti
tute in Paris has predicted that in
100 years from now the average man
will live to be 150 years old. Mechni
koff, the Russian scientist, has made
the same prophecy. These visions of
a future race of Methuselahs are to
materialize through the agency of
the research laboratory, in Sir Ron
ald’s opinion.
The laboratory worker in the next
generation, if allowed full scope, will
trace all destructive diseases to
their source and exterminate them,
instead of combating them after
they have appeared, Sir Ronald said.
Already research laboratories are at j
work on important medical prob-!
lems. The asteur Institute is seek
ing to destroy cancer and tuberculo
sis and the Ross Institute in London
is working for the eradication of lep
rosy.
Advanced English scientists hope
to see research laboratories in ev
ery large city on the world, financed
by the state or municipalty. In them
the search will be carried on for un
seen enemies of the human family
until the last germ has disappeared.
If the medical world could spend
$10,000,000 annually instead of $900,
000 as now, Sir Ronald avers, our
children’s grandchildren would all be
centenarians, and at that be only
pikers to their posterity.
Man with More Than Million
Dies of Starvation, Smyrna:
SYMRNA, May 13.—(JP)—The body
of a millionaire who died of starva
tion recently was found in the beg
gar’s quarter of Smyrna. “The man,
about 80 years of age, was known
to most of the inhabitants of the
city. When he had not been seen
for several days the police were in
formed and forced an entrance to his
squalid habitation.
Among his filthy possessions were
found large stacks of gold and silver
coins, bank notes and jewelry, the
value of which was estimated at $1,
164,000. There was no food in the
place except a pile of rotten oranges.
It was said the miser had inherit

German Educators Return
Insistence Upon Classics
BERLIN, May 13.-—(#>)—Nine years
of Latin and six years of Greek are
again to be required of all boys who
complete the course in German gym
nasiums. The amount of classics
taught in these schools was reduc
ed after the conclusion of the war,
but now the pre-war amount of
Greek and Latin has been re-estab
lished.
There have also bedn many chang
es in the schools that prepare girls
for the universities; special emphasis
is laid upon German history and cul
ture.
In the opinion of German educators
other European countries have done
more to create a national feeling in
their schools than has Germany, and
the Germans are endeavoring to
make good this shortcoming in their
education by lessening the amount
of foreign language study and intro
ducing courses in German literature,
art and history.
