PAINT'PROTECTION against depreciation
past as necessary and wise as insurance-protec'
tion against fire!
And be certain that your painjt protection is as re*
liable and dependable as your fire insurance.
Two'thirds the cost of a painting job is labor,
Her^e, to use the best paint adds but little to the
first cost. It is cheapest in the end.
Pure Prepared Paint and Phoenix Ihire 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. Writefor free book, “Your
Home as Others See It”—illustrated in colors—
suggests many color schemes. For all large jobs con*
suit a master painter.

DISCLOSURE OF
WAR RADIO NET
.<ii ,* t JjJi. fly
chief signal officer of the
ARMY DEPLORES LACK OF
FUNDS FOR RESEARCH
■. --—
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 9. (£>)—
Disclosure that the “War Department
radio net” linking up the nine corps
areas and the department in a com
munications system operated exclusive
ly by military personnel originated in
1922 as a feature of “plans to insure
communication with corps area head
quarters and certain critical cities in
case of failure or destruction of the
commercial wire system,” is contained
in the annual report of Major General
C. McK. Saltzman, Chief Signal Offi
cer of the Army.
The net was established three years
ago, the report said, and it has since
been employed “to excellnt advantage
in the training of signal corps person
nel,” in addition to handling a heavy
burden of departmental telegraphic
business heretofore entrusted to com
mercial companies.
General Saltzman estimated that
while the original five stations of the
net transmitted about 50 official mes
sages daily, each numbering about
forty words, the present system of 12
major stations and sixty subsidiary
points handled approximately 800 mes
sages daily. *.
The rapid growth of traffic was said
to have been brought about by the
chief coordinator, in an endeavor to
“consolidate government communica
tion activities in order to eliminate
duplication of effort and carry out the
retrenchment policy of the President.”
In addition to handling its 9wn, the
War Department transmits the busi
ness of more than 12 other government
departments and bureaus, and in co
operation with the Navy which han
dles all off shore radio business, as
the Army handles inshore messages
even for the Navy, a system has been
established, General Saltzman said, ful
ly capable to handle and supervise the
communications activities during an
emergency. The report showed that
in the fiscal year 1924-25 more • than
l eight million words in messages were
transmitted with a saving of $155,697
to the government in commercial tolls.
General Saltzman deplored the lack
of funds which has prevented research
work on new government communi
cation equipment and appliances, es
pecially radio developments. His re
port also declared that the situation
as to trained personnel is critical if
the corps continues to maintain radio
and telephone systems and performs
its other functions as well.
