Roofing

takes its place in the sun" and holds il longer
than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend OF sof, ssphats,
and coated with blend Of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process so
destructive to the ordinary roof
The blend Of asphal,s used by The General"
is the result Of long experience. IL produces
a roofing more pliable than those which have
less satura,ion, and which are, therefore,
harder and drer.
At each Of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine,
ties, and blend the asphalts used; also TO expert
ment for possible Improvements. Their constant
endeayor is to make the best roofing still better.
The quality Of CERTAIN-TEED is such that
IL is guaranteed for 5, 10 or IS years, according
to thickness q, 2 or 3ply). Experience proves
that il lasts longer. Behind this guarantee is the
responsibility Of the worlds largest manufac-
turer of roohngs and building papers.

PREDICT
M'BRIDE
WINNER

That Mcbride will win the re-
publican nomination for governor
on first-choice votes is the con-
fident prediction today of the
volunteer supporters of the for
mer governor who are in charge
of his headquarters in Seattle.
The prediction is based on the
reception Mcbride has received
throughout the state, upon re-
ports which are daily received at
headquarters as to the progress
of his candidacy and on the
showing he has been making
during the last 30 days in Seat
tie and King county, where a
very heavy republican vote will
be cast.
Every indication points to the
fact that Mcbride will carry
King county by a good plurality.

DON'T LET SOAP
SPOIL YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali, which Is very in
furious, as 1t dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for
this is pure and entirely grease
less. It's very cheap, and beats
the most expensive soaps or any,
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and
few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub It in, about a tea
spoonful is all thart is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thorough
ly. and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
Is soft, fresh looking, bright,
fluffy, wavy and easy to handle.
Besides, 1t loosens and takes out
every particle Of dust. dirt and
dandruff.

A real live Hoosier from the
land of hogs and honey.
That's M. L. Clifford, Judge of
the superior court of Pierce coun-
ty for the last 10 years, who is
flinging himself mercilessly on
the primaries to occupy the same
bench for a few more years.
Clifford used to fatten hogs
with corn when he was boy
back in Indiana. He used to be
a good judge of hogs. They say
he still is.
Clifford's court is a Hoosier
court.
After hours and before hours
his court room is Just like coun-
try store. There big attorneys
the littleattorneys gather togeth-
er to swap yarns and tell funny
stories.
The doors are always open
and anybody's at home.
Clifford is one judge who has
not fear of reporters. You can
take a nap in his easiest chair
and he won't haul you up for
contempt of court.
You can take a rap at him and
he'll come back at you with Hoos-
Ter honey smile.
The judge isn't very tall. but
he's wide. He boasts that he
used to sling two-bushel sacks OF
potatoes over his shoulder with
perfect ease long before he grew
into long breeches.
He doesn't play golf or shoot
clay birds for recreation. Back
to the farm for his. Most any
time out of court hours he can

McGregor
Married

II. ]. McGregor, superinten-
dent of Tacoma's streets and
bridges, is a benedict today.
Slipping quietly over to Seat
tie Wednesday, the superinten-
dent was married there, and is
now enjoying a brief wedding
trip.
McGregor kept his secret care
fully. His bride is a former Mon
tana girl. She arrived on Puget
Sound Wednesday for the we'd
ding.
Mr.. McGregor's first wife died
several years ago.
