PAINT-PROTECTION against depreciation—
just as necessary and wise as insurance-protec'
tion against fir/e!
And he certain that your paint protection is as re'
liable and dependable as your fire insurance.
Two-thirds the cost of a painting job is labof.
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.

MOSCOW, Jan. 14. (Jp)—Madame
Lenine would be offended if a male
“comrade” offered her a seat in a
train, opened a door for her, or step
ped aside to give her precedence.
Hand-kicsing and hat-tipping have
been relagated to the past in Com
munist Russia for hygienic reasons an
men and women are on a par. Ther
is no sex in Communism.
But strangely enough men continu
to kiss each other. The old metho
of salutation among men relatives an
intimate men friends is so strong tha
government regulations have not wi]
ed it out.

FORMER HOTEL KEEPER JUNEAU
Made Trip to Interior Last Fall, Also
to Southeastern Alaska Towns
Looking for Location
After looking over southeastern
Alaskan towns and making a special
trip into Fairbanks last fall, for the
one purpose of seeking a desirible lo
cation to enter into business, Mrs. C.
J. Robinson, who has been conduct
ing a hotel in Juneau for the past year
decided Seward was the most attrac
tive and accordingly, having made her
decision, began laying plans to enter
business here and a few weeks ago
completed arrangements whereby she
took over the lease of the Overland
Hotel. Her son has been in charge
of the hotel since the deal was made,
but on the last steamer from Seattle,
Mrs. Robinson arrived direct from Se
attle and has now taken active charge.
The hotel office has taken on an
appearance with the few touches of
improvements added. “And there will
be much alteration and changes thru
out the entire building, Mrs. Robinson
stated last evening. “I am just recov
ering from the sea voyage and when
feeling my natural self again will be
gin to carry out plans along the line
of improvement which I outlined long
ago.
“When I was in Fairbanks I was
informed the coming years for that
district would be banner years with
the advent of the big mining compa
nies. The Fairbanks region is beau
tiful and evidently is a nice place to
stay in, but after studying the prob
lem over I figured that practically all
of the business going into the Interior
country would have to pass through
Seward, so decided to locate here if
possible.
“On my trip to this town last fall, I
was very much impressed with the
wonderful setting of the town, among
the impressive surrounding mountains.
I was pleased to note the brisk busi
ness apparent on every hand and the
splendid climate was a pleasant sur
prise to me. At the present time there
is a little rain but no snow at all. The
mildness of the weather is startling
considering the period of the season.
In a walk about town the other day I
noticed gardens blossoming, all kinds
of green vegetables growing, green
grass is coming up, and I have been
informed that at the Chamberlin farm
strawberries are coming up.
“I sincerely hope I will meet with
some success in Seward for my son
and I like it very much and hope to
become permanent citizens. We hope
to become better acquainted with its
citizens as time goes by. We solicit
the business of the traveling public
and will endeavor to take care of such
business to their satisfaction. I also
anticipate procuring a number of
steady roomers.”
EXHAUST STACK FOUND TO BE
SOURCE OF FIRE TO PLANES
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14 (£>)—
Army air experts believe that in the
exhaust stack they have found the
firebug largely responsible for the
tendency of crashed planes to burst
into flames and which has cost many
'lives. The much repeated “flaming
coffins” designation of certain old
types of army planes by Colonel Wm.
Mitchell arose from this tendency.
An air service report said that 30
crash tests were conducted on obso
lete airplanes. It was discovered the
exhaust stack was a very serious
source of fire and that if it were pos
sible to so design an exhaust stack
that it would be cool enough to pre
ven tthe self ignition of gasoline or
oil sprayed into the stack the number
of fires would be greatly reduced.
“Preliminary designs of standard
length, water-cooled exhaust mani
„ folds and short, air-cooled manifolds
0 have shown that it is entirely possible
to prevent fires from this source,” saic
the report.

THREE PERIODS OF TIME IN
WOOD’S “CHALK MARKS”
Tense drama, good natured comedy
and heart-thrilling romans are com
bined in equal proportions in “Chalk
Marks,” a Frank Woods production to
which local theater-goers will be treat
ed tonight at the Liberty theatre.
“Chalk Marks” is laid in three dif
ferent periods. The story opens in the
early eighties, is then transferred to
about the 1910 period, and reaches its
conclusion in the present day. As a
result, in addition to the excellent
story told, there is ^a progressive pa
rade of fashions and customs that
give the attraction much added inter
est and no small amount of laughter.
The story centers around the love af
fairs of Angelina Kilbourne and Her
jbert Thompson. The former idolizes
Herbert but he, selfishly, turns to an
other woman who can give him great
1 er prominence in the social world anc
help him up the ladder of legal fam<
which he has just started to ascend
The yeafs carry on and Angelina ii
i left with only her memories.
The second period shows Herber
> in his middle age surrounded by i
; wife whose only interest in life ii
her social standing and his two chi!
dren, a boy and a girl. The boy be
comes involved in a murder scandal
and is only* narrowly saved from the
gallows by the efforts of his father’s
old time sweetheart. The concluding
chapter of the story shows the ro
mance of the boy and his school days
sweetheart and the rewarding of the
now aged Angelina for her love and
faith.
RICE SUCCESSFULLY GROWN
IN LAND OF WHEAT, CORN
LEWISTOWN, 111., Jan. 14. (JP)—
Highly successful rice cultivation in
the land of wheat and corn .has been
accomplished by Bert Edwrards, who
manages a farm near here. He has
just harvested a crop on a 135-acre
patch with a bumper crop of 65 bush
els to the acre. This is the first time
that rice has ever been grown com
• jnercially this far north, Lewistown be
ing in the northern half of the state.
> Cultivation of rice was an experi- •
. ment started two years ago. The re
j suit has been successful and it is plan
ned to spread out until 1500 acres are
: under cultivation.
