in their exhibit in the Builders Ex-
change exhibit hall their method of ap-
plyIng their Ehrets Stag roofing and
eternity tile roofing. Ehret's Stag roof
ing was patented in 1852 by Michael

ing to such extent that they are recog-

About twenty years ago a demand was
created for a roof wearing surface that
would stand all kinds OF abuse suoh as
a playground for children. drill ground
for organizations. open air meetings.
schools. roof gardens for recreation,
floors for garages or boiler rooms. To
meet this demand the company began
using fat tile on their patented water
prOOfing which developed a roof lasting
indefinitely. hence the name, eternity
tile roofing.
Eighteen years ago Ehrets roofing was
introduced in Washington and to-day
there are few buildings erected where
Stag or tile is not specified. The Even

ASKS SHE BE DEPORTED.
Chinese Wife Tells Authorities Hus
band Mistreated Her.

NEW YORK. June 6.-With only a
penciled slip of paper. which bore the
address of the United States immigration
service at No. II State street, as her
guide, Quon TOT Dai the wife of Lau
keng Chau, a member of the Hip Sing
Tong, of No. Pell street. attired in long
black blouse and native trousers. left her
home yesterday afternoon. unobserved,
and went to the immigration office, where
she asked to be deported to her home in
Canton.
That the Chinese girl, who is only
twenty-one years old, and can speak only
a few words of English, made the long
trip afoot without being taken % sta
ton house is Chnatown's latest mystery.
The girl had with her only small ward
robe, wrapped in a handkerchief, with
which she intended to travel to China.
Not knowing what else to do with her.
inspectors of the immigration service
took the girl to Mrs. Mary F. Banta,
superintendent of the Chinese Mission of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, and left
her in Mrs. Bantas charge.
Through an interpreter the girl then
said that she had obtained the address
of the immigration office from young
Chnaman who has now returned to
China. The girl said her husband did
not treat her properly. AS she has been
in this country less than the three-year
limit, it is probable the federal officials
will deport her
