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

II you we're 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. 1t is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tisls
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 progl ess 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 shingle which
is, on new construction and old, rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint Crushed slate of pleasing
tints 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 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.

WHEN KENYON COMPROMISED

Years ago Senator William S.
Kenyon of Iowa was running for coun-
ty prosecutor on the Republican
ticket. His Democratic opponent had
the backing of man who was not
only the leading Democrat in the com.
munity but also had beautiful daugh-
ter. Kenyon was extremely fond of
the beautiful daughter, and that made
complications. For Kenyon feared
that if her father opposed him in poll
tics he might get the habit and oppose
him in other and more serious ways.
Moreover, the daughter was one of
the dutiful kind that shared her IA
theirs view that to vote anything but
the straight Democratic ticket was
wicked. One day when Kenyon went
to call he found the daughter in tears.
She confessed reluctantly that she had
had words with her father. 1t seemed
that father had refused her favor
refused to scratch the ticket to vote for
a certain young man who was running
for prosecutor. With that encourage

More praas Needed.

The splitlog drag has contributed
more toward the economic mainten-
ance of public highways than any i'm
plement of modern usage. 1t does not
require special acts of the legislature,
bond issues nor expensive educational
campaigns to make it available as
usually precedes construction work. A
drag can be built or purchased for $40
and is easily operated by anyone who
can drive a team. We need more
drags.

LLOYD GEORGES STANDBY

Miss Olwen LloydGeorge, the
daughter of the British minister of
munitions, is her fathers "right-hand
man." assisting him in public duties
and ministering to his comfort and
health in his home
The minister is a man of highly
nervous temperament and occasionally
he has to have a day in bed, where
he receives his private secretaries and
attends to the routine of business. At
such times his daughter assumes full
charge of his room, allows the secre-
taries just as much time as her ia
theirs strength will allow and then
politely but firmly ends the days
work.
When he is in good health the
two are companions for long walks
or at golf. In the summers Mr. Lloyd
George has been fond of going with
his wife and daughter upon camping
excursions, living out of doors and
cooking the meals in Gypsy fashion.
He returns from such holidays with
his nerves much strengthened. But Il

MARCUS SMITHS CREDIT

Senator Marcus A. Smith of Arr
IONA takes great pride in the means
by which he built up line OF credit
back in the days when he was strug-
Cling young lawyer in Tucson.
Shortly after he began living in
Tucson, Smith fell in with pleasant
chap from Boston named Stebbins,
and another man named Charles
Leach, from whom he could borrow
money, and by that means he con-
trived to live until he could get a
toehold in his profession. He would
borrow $1G0 from Stebbins and prom
Use to pay him back on the first of the
month When the debt was due he
went to Leach and borrowed enough
to pay off Stebbins and square his
board bill. The next time he would
get money from Stebbins to pay
Leach, and so on. He never failed to
pay promptly on the first day of the
month, and in that way established
great line of credit. He could borrow

FRANCES NAVAL HERO

Admiral Boue de Lapeyrere, COM
mander of the French naval forces,
is as popular in France as is Admiral
Je1lAoe in England. He entered the
French navy nearly forty years ago,
and from the outset of his career he
displayed marked ability.
One of his early commands was in
China, when he obtained distinction
at the battle of Foo-Chow. His flag
ship led the attack against the
enemy, and the personal courage he
displayed made him the hero of
France. Since then he has success
fully conducted several diplomatic ex-
petitions in the Baltic and the Medi-
terranean.
1t has always been the policy of
Admiral Lapeyrere to accompany his
fleet in the fighting line. He is not
a believer in armchair commanding.
He prefers to personally give his or
ders from his flagship to directing af-
fairs from land through the agency

There Is some consolation in the an
nouncement that the beautiful Fra
gonard panels Of the Morgan collection
will not be removed from this country
when they are taken away from the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. AS the
city cannot own them, the next best
thing is to have them pass into the
possession Of another American citi-
zen. The art treasures OF an individual
American are. in no restricted sense.
the genius or constructive skill Of an
American belongs to the whole country
and is to be reckoned among its ad-
vantages. Great private art collections
may not be continuously accessible to
the public eye. but sooner or later.
with few exceptions. they become pub
lie property. part of the national ma
ch'nery for general enlightenment.
II it were true. as reported, that Mr..
Frick has bought not only these four
teen paintings by Fragonard, but also
the whole Morgan collection of Chinese
porcelains. which is almost unequaled,
