SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken In selec.
ton Of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

If you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in a wilderness,
your first thought would be of food
supply and your next Of shelter, for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties Of mankind. It is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with it.
Modern hotels and Office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
The fire hazard Of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt Single which
Is, on new construction and old, rapid
ly suDplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
40 comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing
limits Of red or green, is employed as a
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying a slate
surfaced single that is not guaran-
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are SO many
kinds Of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that it becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.

CHAPTER XVII
A BEGGAR COMES KNOCKING:

For many seconds they stared in
tently at each other. 1t was quite evil
dent that John Payson had not been
aware of this propinquity until the
present moment. His surprise was ap-
parent even at SO great a distance. Not
SO Adam Carr. There could be no
doubling the fact that he had known all
along Of the Midthorne's presence on
Stone Wall. Either he had followed
them to the wild. lonely spot, or he had
exercised that amazing sense of clair
voyancy which he possessed, guessing
correctly that Eric would venture first
Of all to the scene Of his so called crime
before going to his uncle with the CON
fession.
At last Payson sent an eager cry
across the rocks to Mary, calling out
her name as he abruptly left his com
panion's side to make his way toward
her Adam Carr sprang after him,
%clutching his arm. The younger man
came to a standstill, plainly amazed by
the act Of his companion. A moment
later they were to be seen in earnest
conversation, the older man apparently

Execution of a Police Crook.

From the Chicago News.
Efforts to save Charles Becker, the for
mer police official of New York. from ex-
%ecution failed and he has died in the cleo
trio chair, Becker was convicted of re-
sponsibility for the death of a protected
gambler who was about to confess to the
district attorney of New York that Beck

even in fulfllment of the law, there will
be general satisfaction at the fate Of
Becker.
far too commonly goes unpublished. The
fate of Becker is a sign that a new order
is beginning. District Attorney Whitman,
who procured the conviction Of Becker, Is
now the governor Of the state Of New
York. He was selected to that position
because of his effectiveness in lighting
this particular battle of the people against
police corruption.
The struggle to eliminate police graft
is a long n difficult struggle, but 1t Is

crime which he conceived and executed
through the agency Of criminals who
should have been objects OF prosecution

i've warning to grafters in the police SER
vice Of any American city.
The spectacle Of Becker's execution has
special significance for Chicago in view
of recent revelations in the criminal
court in connection with the trial of po-
notorious swindlers. The parallel Is strik-
ing. except that in this community what
is said to have been an attempt to close
the earthly career of a laxative witness
did not result in murder. Bertsche and his
allies In various bold swindllng operations,
even II they are not to be believed in full,
have made disclosures that point to cor
ruption in local police circles.

tive Works.

BY the middle Of May war contracts
for ammunition already placed in the
United States We're estimated at $400,-
100000 and contracts for foodstuffs,
wearing apparel. horses, automobiles,
ETC., at 100000, 900 more. The or
ders for shrapnel, which ultimately
were so much advertised and led to
some of most curious market phe-
nomena that Wall Street has ever
witnessed, did not begin to be given
until March and April. Very few man.
ufacturers were in a position to take
them. Their plants were not equipped
for this sort of work and the question
of arranging credits was most diff
ficult one. The first bonafide contract
was that placed through the Canadian
Car & Foundry Company, for 5,OOO,-
600 shrapnel, at n price of $S3,OOO,-
600. This was distributed very gener-
ously among equipment building com
panies on this side of the border.
Concerns that were in the business
Of building cars and locomotives and
making railroad supplies, but whose
plants were operating on only 20 to 25
per cent. of capacity, were glad in
deed to find employment for their
rapidly disintegrating forces and for
the capital invested in machinery and
buildings ,and We're willing to install
such new machinery as was required
for the character of the work. A con-
siderable amount of the machinery in
stalled will have to be "scrapped" af-
ter the war is over but this fact is
covered in the profit allowed under tho
terms of agreement. Several plants
have already started to enlarge. The
Electric Company
which has secured one order for q
100000 rifles and is expecting another
for nearly as large an amount, will
probably enter permanently into the
rifle and ammunition supply business.

IAN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT"
Germany DisClaims Intention to Molcst
Guiilight and Offers RcparatiOn for
Damage Caused by TOrpcdoing of
Stcamer-EXplanatiO of Mistake,

washington, June 4.--Germany, in
Il note cabled to the State department
today by Ambassador Gerard at Ber-
lin, expressed regrets that through
IAN unfortunate accident" a German
submarine had tOrpedoed the Ameri-
can steamer Gulflight, and declared
itself ready to furnish full recon-
pense for the damage thereby suss-
tained by American citizens"
In the same communication the
German foreign office said it had not
been possible to clear up fully the
case OF the American steamer Cush-
ing. reported attacked by a German
aeroplane, and asked that the United
States communicate all inforlna on in
it's possession concerning this Incl
dent.
Blame for the attack on the Gulf
light was placed by the foreign office
upon the proximity OF two British
patrol boats and the absence from the
steamers freebOard of the distinctive
markings usually carried by neutral
ships. THAT the attacked steamer
carried the American flag" the note
added, was first observed at the mo-
ment of firing the shot,"
The Gulfiight was torpedoed in the
English channel five weeks ago while
carrying oil from Port Arthur, Texas
for Rouen, France. She was towed
to Crows Sound and beached for re-
pairs. Two seamen were drowned
when the crew took to the boats and
the captain died Of heart trouble the
next day. The expression of regret
and offer of reparation are in con-
formity with the principle outlined in
circular Germany recently sent to
neutral nations disclaiming intention
Of attacking neutral vessels carrying
noncontraband.
