Certain-teed is the least expensive In the
end-and there is so little difference in
first cost that you cannot afordto take the
risk of buying roofing that is not guar
anteed by responsible manufacturer.
There is no advance test by which you
can determine the amount or quality of
service roofing will give. Such super
fetal tests as bending, smelling, tearing,
ETC., do not prove how long roof will
last. "The true proof is on the roof"
Such unreliable tests are used by some
manufacturers and jobbers to dispose of
their goods. Others take advantage of
the public by putting out second or third
grade roo6ngs as their first grade goods,
or by putting them under old established
brands built up on better goods.
But our definite guarantee is your
absolute advance knowledge Of the serv-
ice you will get from Certain-teed
Roofing. The responsibility Of the
three biggest rooing mills in the world
stands behind that guarantee. 1t is
better than any roofing "test" ever
invented.
The amount of Cert1in-teed Roofing
required for an average roof, say ten
squares, will cost less than IS over the
cheap mail order grade. This small
additional cost is saved many times in
the fifteen years wear which is covered
by the manufacturers guarantee.
Certain-teed Roofing is sold at a reason-
able price everywhere by dealers who
believe in giving unsurpassed quality
at fair profit.

No clearer thinker man of more extraordinary ability could be found. No better man temperamentally or for the point of ex- perience could have been found in the south than MT. Harding

EWING IS PREPARING
 SECOND STATEMENT
Says He Has Discovered Ad- ditiOnal Data on By
 Product Gas

Another statement on by-produet gas seeking to show that the people of Bir- mingham will lose a million and a half dollars in the next several years, unless the city commissioners and the gas com pany get together on a proposition, Is now in course of preparation by Robert w Ewing, president of the Board of Trade.
 Nr Ewing states that he has discov- cred additional data and statistics to prove the contentious he made in the public statement he gave out last Sun day Mir Ewing indicated that all the energy of the Board of Trade. which has officially undertaken to promote Il compromise In the gas negotiations. will be directed toward converting Judge A. O. Lane to change his vote and agree to some of the provisions asked for by the gas company President George Ward is proposal since nothing else can be had, and MT. Ewing states he believes that Judge Lane can be made to see the same side of the question.
 ."rhe line the Board of Trade special gas committee is pursuing said MT. Ewing last night, 'is to effect a com promise between the city commissioners
 
 there is no question but what the peo- pie of Birmingham should have the gas The commissioners. however. state posi- lively that they must have percentage of the company's proceeds for the city treasury The gas company states posi- lively that 1t will not give 2 cents as asked for. Therefore. we are going to try to induce the commissioners to ac- cept l cent or a half cent, and If we can do that, then we will carry the proposition to the gas company officials and ask them to meet us halfway
 q am optimistic enough to believe that arguments can be induced to persuade Judge Lane and President Ward to agree to such a proposition, and if they do then believe that the gas company will do its share.
 There can be no doubt, it seems, but what the commissioners and the gas officials are deadlocked. The enemy has withdrawn from the field of battle and left the city victorious with a million and a half dollars additional gas bill for the next seven years. What Is needed now is an arbitrator and We hope that the Board of Trade, in an humble way. can fulfill some such office.

POSES AS LAWYER AND NEGRO CONFESSES TO HIM

 erty was hidden, and as result they recovered about 5000 worth of stolen property.
 It was stated at police headquarters that the negro was so completely deceived by Detective Brannom that he gave him written order to secure the stolen property and also gave the detective as complete a list as he could remember of the places where he stole the goods
 This negro Roy Veal" said Sergeant Darnell yesterday, ''is clearly the negro who has been terrorizing Birmingham and the suburbs for the past year or more. He has confessed to Detective Brannom and Macke of several recent burglaries and others of later date He also confessed to being wanted in several cities, and also admitted to robbing sev- eral box cars between Birmingham and Tuscaloosa and from his confessions Brannom and Macke have recovered the major part of his loot.
 Tn my opinion the arrest of this negro will stop burglaries for sometime After carefully tabulating 8 report of all the burglaries since the consolidation of the police and detective departments on May 1. which show that some S7 residences were broken into and several attempts at burglaries which were unsuccessful. anu run the uhteS ana location or the burglarized residences it leads to the theory that one man or one gang of men were doing all the work. It was this way: A group of houses would be robbed on the Northside one night and the next night group on the Southside and so forth. The confessions of this negro shows that he was one of the negroes who committed these numerous robberies His partners will be captured within a few hours"
