A transcontinental aeroplane competition, for which prizes amounting to $100,000 probably will be offered, has been decided upon by the Aero Club of America.

In a letter to the club Mr. Pulitzer declared that "it seems the irony of fate that the country of Langley, the Wrights, Curtiss and other pioneers who may be said to have given the world wings, lags last where it ought to be first." The route for the transcontinental flight and the date will be announced later. Cheap Paints Cost Too Much! When you paint, use good paint. Cheap paints don't cost enough to be good.

The materials that make good paint are as standard in value as gold. You can't buy gold dollars at 69c. You can't buy good paint at low prices. There is so much misrepresentation in paints- so much chance to mix materials of inferior quality into so' called good paint -that there is just one safe way to buy paint: See that the name of a responsible manufacturer is on the can. The Maker and We, Too, Guarantee You Complete Satisfaction in Lucas Paints They're made as good as paints can be made The materials used are proved not only pure, but up to the standard, by most rigid tests.
