SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care should Be Taken In oeIeo-
tion Of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed In q 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 ere pI. 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 ONCE 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.
iy 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
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 q slate
surfaced shingle 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.

it happened in some far-off Siberian

goina out Ashby street at the right
time you could have heard them
screaming and grooming for city
blocs as the lash bit into their backs.
The affair has caused some stir
among those who are opposed to
logging as a punishment, but even
they have been compelled to admit
in the face OF the report that If
logging prisoners is ever justitiable
under any conceivable circum-
stances, it was on this occasion.
The whole negro convict camp
mutioicd. The men armed themselves
with improvised clubs by breaking
up the beds and other rough furni-
turc, and made ready to kill the first
guard who dared to come among
them.
Threats with rifles and revolvers
on'y made it plain that If fight
was to be started, the negroes were
ready to die and were going to kill
as nany guards as possible before
they got theirs The battle was only
averted by rcsorting to cold water
from several lines of hose In the
icy air the negroes had to surren-
der. But they were still vicious and
sullen They refused to go to work.
They snarled both at threats and at
promijes of kindness. Then they
were logged. and the lash made
| them go back to work.

posed to the change in the form of
governments is likely that the with
drawals from the fund will be num-
erous.
The National Salvation Fund grew
out OF the patriotic outbursts follow
ing the Japanese demands last spring.
The recent action OF Japan, In con-
junction with the European powers.
seeking postponement of the mon
arcrical movement, has been regard
ed by many Chinese as resumption of
Japan's effort to gain control over
Chinese affairs. This action on the
part of Japan has tended to silence
many Chinese who opposed the mon
archy. but feel that China should
present an unbroken front to outside
interference.
Many Chinese newspapers which
opposed the monarchy have dropped
that fight to resume the opposition to
Japan.
However, the changed attitude on
the part of the Chinese towards
their own internal affairs has not
prevented many Chinese from with
drawing their money to the patriotic
fund.

which subscribers gave largely for
