PAINT'PROTECTION against depreciation
just as necessary and wise as lnsurance-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.
Here, 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.

BILLION FRANCS
SPENT FRANCE
U. S. TOURISTS
GENERAL NEWS LETTER FROM
FRANCE BY ASSOCIATED
PRESS.
PARIS, Jan. 8. (JP)—France'3 sum
mer tourist season resulted in the
leaving of ten. billion francs in the
country by American and British vis
itor's. That was the sum spent by
guests of these two nations during
June, July and August, according to
figures published by the tourist bu
reau.
The summer tourist season lasts
approximately 100 days and experts
hare figured out that at least $500,
000,000 was spent by France’s vis
itors during that period.
With the winter season along the
Riviera now in full swing and with
dollars and pounds flowing into the
banks of Southern France, LE FI
ARGO say-s “this situation consti
tutes a bright ray of sunshine in
France’s otherwise cloudy vnancial
affairs, and should dissipate some of
the hesitations of the holder of the
cabinet portfolio of finance.
Broken arms and legs and caved
in ribs among their messenger boys
ihave caused Paris stock brokers to
ask the Bourse authorities to have
the sharp edges of the cornices at the
foot of huge pillars in the main
room of the stock exchange rounded
off. Begun in 1809 by Napoleon, the
Bourse edifice was completed in 1826.
In Normal times the buildings is
barely large enough to accommodate
the crowd, but on extraordinarily
busy days, such as last November 5,
rvvbich will go down in French his
tory as “buying panic day,” the
1 room is woefully inadequate.
In the tremendous crush on big
days, messenger boys casualties rate
is very high. Brokers frantically
a/wait the return of messengers who
never come and then groan when in
formed they have been taken to the
hospital. Many injuries are caused
by well directed kicks in the shins
from rival messengers but the cor
nices account for most of the wounds.
Pinafore frocks wThcih open behind
to disclose a slip of contrasting color
are one of the winter fashion novel
ties which society shows signs of
adopting from among the many ideas
offered it. The dresses are inspired
by the black salteen pinafores -worn
by French children at play. This is
the time of the year wthen customers
can tell which of their many prof
fered styles has caught the fancy of
Paris. While hundreds of novelties
are offered only a few arrive at pop
ularity.
The Paris winter theatrical season
is marked by the popularity of mu
sical comedy, as distinct from the
native French operetta and by the
number of melodramas of modern
life. Tlhe influence of the motion
pictures is aparent in many places
of the latter type. For instance the
heroine of one runs a garage while
another is a book .publisher.
There have been few failures this
season. The. young author has no
room for complaint against the Paris
producers treatment of him, for many
plays by new men are being put on.
A new theater near the Opera re
cently opened with a play by a 24
yar-old playwright, Jacques Natason.
The Odeon Theater has produced a
play based on Florence Barclay’s
novel of some 15 years ago, the “Ro
sary,” which promises to be an un
usual success. It has caused many
critics to lament that a play of this
sentimental character should survive
and occupy the stage of France’s
second National theater.
Too many people think opportunity
means a chance to get money without
earning it.
Some people seem to get a lot of
satisfaction out of making martyrs of
themselves.
The French ship of state is at least
quite efficient in the seagoing art of
dropping the pilot.
It is said that bath rooms in Boston
are better known as ablutionary stu
dios.
