The headquarters for the convention will be at the Stevens Hotel, where 2 J300 rooms have been reserved for delegates without regard to reserva tions At other hotels. Every indication points to this con- ' vention- being the most enthusiastic jver held by the League for variowi reason!. Fixst, because of the eleva- ^ ytion of the Honorary President of the •" League, Herbert C. Hftover, to the >' " presidency of the United States. SectV"', on^- t0 t^e *act t^,at several new govf r'"',l r jfrpors .of states who are thorough •r '•$>,, / ^waltonians, have assumed their ofalready are putting out con- ; ipervation plans that are either spon- V->ored or recommended by the League. ' Third, because the growth of the conservation spirit throughout the nation has inspired activity among the chapters of the League in producing mem- V Jwship drives to which the public is responding in droves. Because of these conditions it is anticipated that a greater army of delegates than ever before will attend ' the convention. This number will be • , swelled by members of chapters from every part of the United States who wish to learn at first hand the conservation projects that will be taken np by the national organization. Dr. Henry Baldwin Ward of the Zoology Department of the University of Illinois, at Urbana, who is president of the national organization, already has secured speakers of na- '% |ional and some of them of interna-^ ptaitefl to get the neegssary l.'i gal- •£t ^Mional reputation, who will address A the convention. As the list is not yet ^--"tomplete the names of the speakers cannot yet be announced. General j&anager Fred H. Doellner, at national headquarters of the League, is Jthe recipient of the enthusiastic re- ; jf ports showing that in many cases {large delegations are intending to attend the convention. The great International Outdoor ' and Sports Goods Show sponsored annually by Outdoor America, the League's^ official publication, will be held in conjunction with the annual convention, but openig oe day earlier, ,that is April 17. The exhibits already arranged for this show indicate that it will surpass any outdoor goods show hitherto sponsored by the magazine and the League. 45 Gallons of Paint For every brushful of lead-and-oil the painter spreads some miner had to dig up a shovelful of lead ore, some farmer had to cultivate several stalk* of flax and some one bad to tap a pine tree down in the Carolina*.

To secure Sufficient metallic lead to make 700 pounds, It is necessary to mine a small mountain of ore, weighing some 9.000 pounds. Average lead ore as taken direct from the mine contains less than 6 per cent of pure lead, which amount is. further reduced by metallurgical losses which ocfrur during smelting.

The Marine Band PRESIDENT JOHN ADAMS, in 1798, approved a bill which created the Marine corps. This corps included a musical division which has siticer developed into what we now know as the United ,States Marine band--often referred to as "The Pres ident's Own" band. Philadelphia was the original headquarters of the corps, because that cil.v was the capital of the nation at that time. The capital and the band were moved to Washington in 1800. ever since which this most ancient of nilitury hands has played an enviable role In the life of our national capital. This band has played at the NVhlto House reception every New Year's day since 1801; It played at the first in ii^urai IrajJ on March 4, 180». and at practically every inaugural hall since that time; It played at the White House on September 6, 1825. when fJeneral Lafayette was the nations jait'st and was present when Lincoln made his historic flettyshurgh speech: it played at the first egg-rolling con test on the White House lawn, at the White House weddings of Nellie Crant and Alice Roosevelt and st the fuuerals of Presidents Taylor, Lincoln McKinle.v and Harding. . The versatility of this world-famou* organization is unusual. At a gran l concert in 1024. it appeared hs h symphony orchestra In the first pari and as a military band in the second part. That "the music of a nation ex presses Its soul." it "interprets li* history, its religion, its patriotism nit.l it* social customs, ns do few single meatuins." has been most aptly lllus trated by our Marine band.

H. O. D. Segrave to send his 900-horsepower Golden Arrow race car over the measured mile of the famous Daytona Beach race course at the terrific speed of 231.362 miles an hour for a new wdrld's speed record. On rom. pletion of his great run, the speed champion declared that the Maries steering gear, employed on the powerful British car, which is the same type as that used on Nash Advanced Six "400" models, gave Utin •'the cempletest satisfaction." Nash Motors Company engineers followed the performance of this steering system and the Major's masterly use odf it with intense interest. They see in his flashing success another powerful illustration of the importance that sturdy, dependable and highly sensitive steering systems play in modem motoring and safeguarding the Jives of all drivers. For the slightest deflection from the coarse at that terrible speed swelled certain death for the gallant pilot. The average motorist, they point out, will never have to subject his steering system to the awful strain it had to undergo in the beach speed trials, but the drivers of Nash Ad- .vanead Six "400" models are doubly secure in the knowledge that the same type of Maries gear that brought Segrave through is used in these famous stock cars. This system, which supplies the new Nash cars with the easiest steering cbntrol so far achieved, was developed to its present perfection through the co-operation of Nash and Gemmer Manufacturing Company engineers. Chief engineers of the Nash Motors Company, worked personally with Gemmer experts in improving and perfecting the Maries gear, and share in the credit for its remarkable efficiency. Steering the powerful special racers over the Daytona course at nearly four miles a minute requires absolute accuracy on the part of the steering gear. Maj. Segrave employed rifle sights for his run and aimed the Golden Arrow as though it were a high calibre projectile. He had red bullseye lights suspended o^r the middle of the course and guided them by two special sights. One was a device of crossed wires set in a circle on the nose of the car whieh centered with a naked rifle sight on the cowl. 11^ declared after the run that the light ? and sights saved him from disa.-" when he ran through eleven patches of water which sent his tires plowing a half inch into loose sand. It was here that the steering system on the Golden Arrow did its heroic \¥ork and brought the great car to a speed record that may never be equaled, owing to the American Automobile Association's decision to halt all further speed trials this year and the general feeling against this" type of test.

If pipe that rusts is used, in a short time it will begin to deteriorate; rust-stained water will flow from faucets into basins, baths, tubs and sinks. Rust will clog the pipe, gradually reducing the flow of water to a trickle, and eventually rust will cause damaging leaks and necessitate expensive repair. These things will not happen at once; two or three yesirs may pass before the first signs appear; they are Inevitable if pipe that rusts is used. When it was the custom to build houses with pipes exposed, It was comparatively easy to replace rusted piping. Good construction dictates that plumbing pipes be concealed beneath floors and behind walls; one reason Is tb safeguard them against frost. In order to replace even a short length of rusted, leaking pipe, the services of carpenter, plumber, plasterer and decorator are often required. Brass pipes Installed In the plumbing system is a. permanent protection against pipe failure caused by rust.
