Nearly all the towns being built in

Haste Is the main thing in these new
towns, but beauty and good taste have
not been forgotten. Planned and built
as they are by able men in single large

WOODEN SHINGLES ALL RIGHT
Leading Cities Throughout the coun.
try Have Refused to For
bid Their Use.

There are only a dozen or so Of the
larger cities where the use of wooden
shingles is specially barred. At least
40 Of the largest cities, including New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleve-
land, San Francisco, Dallas, Tex.
Detroit, Mich, and so on down the list
even to the national capital, permit
the use of wooden shingles within
their corporate limits outside Of the
congosted zone.
"This," ar architect says, ais suff-
clent proof that the advantages Of the
wOod-Shingle roof In residential dis
trlctS are still recognized. 1t is rath-
er unfortunate for the logic of some Of
those most strongly opposed to the
use Of wooden shingles that they
house their own families under such
a roof"
An investigation revealed further
that some cities after enduring the re-
suits Of an anti-shingle ordinance I'M
til their patience became exhausted
by the harmful results in the retard-
Ing of building operations, either have
repealed or are planning to repeal
such ordinances. Houston, Tex, for
example, after having passed through
nine months Of building stagnatlon,
repealed Its anti-shingle ordinance. In
that city Is was found that the effect
of the ordinance was to retard just 40
per cent Of the building of small
homes as compared with the CORE
spending period of the previous year.
In REPUTATION Of the claim by the
makers Of substitutes that wooden
shingles frequently cause great con-
tlagrations, investigation shows that
OF the AZ fires involving losses Of
more than 100000 in 1917 throughout
the country, only n occurred in a
residence section where wooden shin

ITO make our country really safe

slogan Doctor Farrand suggests for
this war against disease.
OF the men called to the colors by
the first draft 10000 were found to be

indications Of the prevalence of the
disease.
while the war has thus effectually
disclosed conditions which existed be-
fore, rather than produced these condl-
tons, II Is also true that In indirect
ways II has substantially increased the
tuberculosis problem In the European
countries involved" says Doctor Far
rand.

wage groups, diminished quantity and
quality and their resultant u%ndernutri-
