How Many Shingles?

To figure the number of shingles a
house will require proceed as follows
Measure the length of the. roof to be
covered. Measure the distance from
one cave over the peak to the other
cave. These dimensions necessarily
are in feet. Multiply the dimensions
together. Divide by 100. The quotient
will be the number of thousand shin
giles required. To determine the num-
Der of bundles, multiply this number
by four.-FOrm Life. ,.~.,:. -. -.

Just to Ourselves

1t is hard to be really just to our.
Sc, selves. a great many of US are more
1enient with our own faults than with
those Of other people,~while not few
censure themselves far more harshly
for false step than they would think
of censuring another. What we should
strive for is to be neither too exacting
not too lenient where our shortcomings
are concerned, but to give ourselves
the benefit of simple Justice.

DRILLING Hard Steel.

In preparing drill to be used on
hard steel, the drill should be heated
to an even heat, the scale removed
and the tip of the drill be touched to
drop Of quicksilver and then be
quenched in water. After this treat
ment the drill will go through the
hardest steel without trouble. A sim
pie method of tempering small tools
quickly is to heat them red hot and
then thrust them into a potato after
which they should be drawn to the
correct temper to remove brittleness.

"A collection of Raemaekers' car
toons Is to be brought to Fairuont by
the Normal school soon These are
the most famous and striking cartoons
ever published, and their maker is said
to be the greatest genius that the war
has yet produced
Raemaekers has been associated
with the newspapers in the allied coun-
tries, pointing out the German idea
Of warfare through his cartoons, and
he has done much toward making the
people realize that for which they are
fighting. He Is so hated by the Ger
mans that a price has been put on his
head by German authorities.
This great eGrtoonist Is now in
America, having come here at the risk
OF his life In order TO awaken the Amer.
lean people to the real part they are
to play in this struggle for democracy
He wishes to emphasize this part in
his future cartoons By spreading the
universal language which art alone
possesses he has made the war clear
to those who cannot read
All his cartoons in a spirited way
tell OF the horror and brutality Of war
Public opinion in England was
aroused by these cartoons as by no
other appeal Our people should see
and study them too.
