We Have Learned a Lott
About Shingles

since we first hung out our

ticed the same thing. Well,
there's a reason for ii. We
found the trouble starts with
their drying and if you buy
shingles that have been hur-
riedly put through the dry
kiln, under excessive heat,
you will surely be disappoint-
ed. Maybe ours cost littlel
more because of the slow dry
ing, but first cost and longev
ity of the roof should be con-
sidered together. The last

troops refuse to surrender the city and
will not allow General Orozco or any
OF his five thousand insurrectos to en-.

been sent to Mexico City asking the

The reason the insurrectos are being

vent to long cherished resentment to
certain business interests. These in
terests include banks once controlled
by Enrique Creel and others identified

Fear of a repetition of disturbances
late yesterday, when clash between
striking garment makers and a squad
of policemen resulted in a striker
being shot, patrolman knitted and a

bruised, caused the police to take ex-
ira precautions today to control the
situation. A hundred extra patrolmen
were detailed to the districts picketed
by strikers.
At the H. Black company's plant
pickets hooted and jeered the patrol
men, until the latter retaliated by call
