Powerful Combination.

Tim was a protege of Mr.. Blank, a
well-known lawyer. He was often in

greatly in being arrested.
"How is it, Tim," someone asked
one day, that you are arrested so
often, but never go to Jail nor pay
any fnes"
Its just this way" Tim replied,

than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphals,
and coated with blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation

The blend of asphalts used by The General"

a roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
AT each of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine,
test and blend the asphalts used; also to expert

endeavor is to make the best roofing still better

SUICIDE FORNER R CORDOVAN AT
 JUNEAU

JUNEAU, Oct 12 - James Kahler, 37 years of age, resident in Alaska ten years, a pharmacist, unmarried, pre- sumably committed suicide in his room at the Cam Booming house.
 Dr. II. c. DeVighne, United States Commissioner John B. Marshall and several friends were summoned The doctor examined the body, and his effects in an effort to find some trace of the cause of death On the bureau in the room was found a small box containing several 5-grain capsules of Neronal, from four to six of which would have caused death. The ap pearance of the body. the face and pupils of the eye indicated that such a poison as Veronal had been taken.
 The deceased was born in Jackson ville Oregon. For many years he lived in Tacoma. His mother now re- sides in Seattle, and he has a brother in HeIana, Montana. Quite recently his mother had been in communication with him.
 The deceased at one time worked in the commissary department under Heney during the construction of the Copper River railroad; then later he conducted a drug store in Valdez; he has been in Juneau a little over two years. and during this time was for a brief period purser on the ship Geor- gia that formerly operated between Juneau, Skagway and Sitka.

ROMAN. Egypt. Oct. 12. - Unique features of warfare were developed. according to military men, in the re- cent battle of Romani in which the British defeated the Turks, the invad CTS losing some 5000 in dead, wounded and prisoners out of their total of ap- proximately 14,OO0 men, as has been told in recent cable advices. The crossing of the Sinai desert with big guns and other war equipment dur ing the heat of summer was an unpre- cedented achievement A representa- tive of the Associated Press who was permitted to travel over the entire battle-ground after the conflict had been told previously by high military authorities that the feat could not be accomplished, and that any force sit ting along the Suez canal would be safe from attack throughout the sum mer. One of the few dissentants, how ever, was Lieutenant General Sir Ar chibald Murray, commander in chief of the British forces in Egypt. lmme- diately upon his assumption of com mand here last January he began to prepare for just such an attack, and the victory at Romani was due to his foresight.
 The Turkish expedition undoubtedly was engineered by German officers. who laid elaborate plans for the ad- vance from the direction of Fl Arish.

LOS ANGELES, Oct 13. - After series of adventures extending over several months, which caused his hair to whiten before his time, Charles Barden, young man Of Long Beach has returned to the peaceful occupa- tiOn of clerk in his fathers grocery store. Barden has been marooned at sea- wrecked in a typhoon and seen service in the Australian army from which he finally was discharged so that he could return to his home.
 Slipping out from San Pedro, on April last, with Fred Meyer, in Mey- CTS motor boat, for a fortnights rec reation. they were lost in the Pacific when their engine broke down. Drift ing to a rocky island, they remained maroOned several days until a pass ing Italian vessel saw distress sig nals. But the vessel was bound for India, and they were transferred at sea, when the Manunui. bound for New Zealand hove to.
 This three master was wrecked in a typhoon and Braden and Meyer and eleven of the latter's crew were washed up on the shores of coral reef.

 GOOD ROADS

WASHINGTON. Oct l3. - Elabor- ate plans to prevent the diversion into improper channels Of any part Of the $75OOO,OO0 which the federal govern ment is to spend in cooperation with the states on good roads within the next five years, have been made by Logan Waller Page director of the office of public roads and rural en- gineering. which will supervise the work
 The government is determined, off cials say. that there shall be no repe- tition of the lax methods and waste which have characterized the building of roads in many sections and that dollars worth Of road bed shall be constructed for every dollar spent Further, the public roads office is pre- pairing to see to 1t that the roads for which the government money is spent are places where the traffic demand is the heaviest and not where politi- clans or others desire them.
 When the plans Of a state for road building, accompanied by a request for federal aid are received. they will be fully investigated by government agents. and if acceptable the state will receive from the government its ap- portionment of the appropriation made for the purpose Under the terms of the act the federal government pays the bill for one-half the cost and the state pays the other half. More than score of states already have indi- cated their intention to ask for federal aid, and two, California and Connecti- cut, have filed formal applications.

plants which represented the only vegetable life outside the oases. These wiry plants formed a cushion over which sand was thrown, making a very practicable road for the guns. In some places where the sand was too loose and deep for this track, blanks were laid lengthwise under the wheels.
 Progress was necessarily slow, and long before the Turks reached the watered positions which they took up some miles in front of Romani, the British were ready and waiting for them. The defenders did not attack. for 1t was the plan to draw the inVad' CTS on to an assault if possible. Gen eral Murray decided that he would wait a certain length of time and then force the issue fl the Turks had not advanced It seemed almost like a for. lorn hope that the Turks, with their astute German leadership, would be led to an attack on the Romani posi- tions, for the whole country in this section Is covered with great steep dunes. some of which cannot be climbed in places because of the slid ing sands. Ali these dunes were we'll protected by the British. However, as had been hoped, at midnight on Aug ust 3, the Turks began the attack, which ended in complete disaster for them on August 5.
 Just what persuaded the Turks to try to take this apparently impreg' nable position is a matter of consider able speculation. Some express the opinion that they were misinformed as to the nature of the battle ground Others think they misjudged the Brit ish strength and hoped, despite the difficulties presented. to take the DO sition and establish a base from which they could work against the canal
 However. that may be, they were cleverly drawn into the sand dune trap.
 They fought brsveiy and their artii lery shooting was very accurate and effective in places. but no body of at taeking troops could hope to tssh' their way through these dunes when opposed by artillery, machine guns

 The Turks suffered from lack of water, since they had to advance from their base laden as lightly as possible. Both sides undoubtedly underwent al. most the limit of human endufance from the great heat The climax of the battle was the charge of the An, zac light horse. who arrayed them selves on B ridge some two miles and a half in length and hurled themselves down upon the Turks, who were strag gling forward in the sandy trip, and were defenceiess against the terrible onslaught.
 The general opinion is that the Turks must have proved to their own satisfaction that while they might bring troops across the desert, yet they could hope for no success dur, ing the hot season unless they had communication railways established back Of them. For this reason, 1t is believed, that they will not venture to attack again in force during the sum. mer.
 A Turkish prisoner of war, major who was captured at Romani, gave the correspondent an explanation oi the Turkish expedition. The major declared that it was merely recon noitering force sent out to pave the way for a real advance which would take place shortly.
