SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken In seleo-
tion OF the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II 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. 1t is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tails
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years. as regards comfort,
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 Il.
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
surfacing. Tho 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 shingle that is not guaran-
teed by reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are so many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that II becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur.
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.

Did He PUT His Foo. in II?

An English soldier, a member of the
Second South Staffordshire regiment.
says that one bitterly cold night in
early spring hes and his mates came
out of the trenches. They were bill.
leted in a barn, where they were
packed in very close.
Though numb with cold. we were
soon asleep" said. the soldier, in tell
ing the incident. Il was awakened in
the night by one of my chaps trying
to put his boots on. After he had
been trying for minute or two 1
heard the fellow next to him say;
What the - are you doing?
Putting my boots on, was the re-
ply.
Well, that's my foot. you fool! "

GERMANS HAMMER
AWAY At RUSSIANS
MuscovlTEs FALLING BACK TO
NEW POSITIONS AND GER
MANS IN HOT PURSUIT.
Speculation Rife as to Whether leu.
tons Intend to Continue Following
Enemy or lntreneh and Turn
Attention TO the Allies.

London. -There are no signs yet of
any slackening of the German pursuit
of the retiring Russians and accord
ing to the official report issued in Ber-
lin, progress has been made in all
sectors OF the eastern battle line ex-
cept that in northern Courland, where
the armies of Grand Duke Nicholas
are offering an effective resistance.
From the southeast of Kovno, where
the Germans claim to have broken
the Russian resistance and must,
therefore. be approaching Wilma, along
the Niemen to Grodno and thence
southeastward through the forest of
Bieloviezh and along the borders of
the Pripet river marches. the Russians
are falling back to new positions.
Speculation again Is being INDUCED
In as to whether the Germans intend
to follow the Russians furtli er or pre-
pare positions from which Ihey can
hold the Muscovites. while the Teu
tons attempt an offensive in the Bal
kans or on the western line in France
and Belgium. Military observers here
are of the opinion that this question
must be settled before many days
have elapsed. arguing that with the
summer coming to an end, ventures
proposed for the fall must soon de
velop.
The artillery has been the chief
mode of warfare in the western line.
The most activity has been displayed
here by the guns of the allies, which
have been Smelling virtually the entire
German line. In addition, the allies
have been using their air craft in
large squadrons to lombard German
positions.
II is being vaguely limited here that
mid October has been chosen as the
time for the long-postponed big push"
of the allies, but the general public
does not expect strong offensive
movement as yet.
There has been more heavy fighting
on the Gallipoli peninsula, according
to the Turkish official report. This
claims that the allies suffered heav'
lily in a series of attacks last Friday.
