As soon as we think of foreign trade we get the glamor and thrill of It; and to Joseph Pennell’s «Yes a giant crane or a viaduct or a steel mill is a picture. But who of us ever thought of romance in connection with wire rope?- John Kimberly Mumford has not taken wire for granted. In “Outspin- ning the Spider," he has told the story of an amazing Industry in a fashion to rival the hedonist. Let a single pas* sage speak: "Seven one-thousandths, three one- thousandths, one <jpe-thousandth—one record after another was passed. "At last a wire was drawn that measured one four-thousandths of an inch In diameter—twelve times liner than the hair on yonr head.” The spider, so long counted a master workman, had been outdone.—Nation's Business. And Now the "Finale-Hopper.” That section of Manhattan called the Acropolis of America, extending from Riverside drive to Morningside park, has a new designation for ultra-modern girls—"finale-hoppers.” They are tlie young women who are a year ahead of the present, or think they lire doing now what the rest of their sex will be doing at some time In the future, Ray mond G. Carroll writes in the Philadel phia Ledger. A flnale-hopper is never In style. She is a trail blazer, a pathfinder. She an ticipates style. As soon as what she is doing Is taken up and adopted by the crowd she drops It and turns to some thing else that is absolutely new. That applies to music, art, dancing, dress and even slang. She is ever on the still hunt for anything fresh that has never before been done or known. Electrical Rubbing. A motor-operated rubbing machine for wood surface finishing lias been de veloped by an American concern. The device Is operated by a fractional horse-power motor, which moves the rubbing blocks together and apart at an even speed. The speed is governed by a regulator which can be varied ac cording to the class of work to be done. The machine Is Inclosed in a dust-proof aluminum case and weighs about thir ty-five pounds, and, while this weight gives sufficient pressure for ordinary purposes, additional pressure can be applied by the operator if it is desired The device is used for rubbing surfaces 15 Inches In length and of practically any width.

They contain the finest materials— PIONEER WHITE LEAD, pure li«. seed oil, pure zinc and pure colors— combined scientifically in exact pro portions. They are the best paints we know. Decay is expensive and wasteful. Price lumber alone, to get an idea of what it will cost to repair or re build. Paint saves this cost. The best paint is the most econom ical in the long run. It spreads easily —saves labor cost. It covers a larger area per gallon than “cheap” paint. But most important, the best paint serves five or more years longer than “cheap” paint. We have been making the best paints for 73 years. They are scien tific in formula and preparation.
