PACIFIC FLEET
SAILS JULY Is
New Policy Will. Prepare
Nation to Meet Any and
All Emergencies.

July is has been set as the date
on which the United States will begin
to put into effect its .far-reaching
new naval policy of having a power
full battleship feet in the Pacific
Ocean as well as in the Atlantic.
1t has been decided TO send 10 the
Pacific first the great oil-burning
. hips: and several OF these, to be led
by the Mississippi. will begin the
voyage on the date mentioned. This
plan seems to exclude from the Pa
Cif.c. for the present. at least. the
Dreadnaught New Mexico. which is
an eiectrically-driven ship. 1t is ex-
planned, however. that as the New
Mexico and the Mississippi are Sis
ter ships. the equal division of the
Dreadnaughts between the two
oceans would demand that the New
Mexico be left on the Atlantic" They
are each of $500 tons displacement
The Mississippi. therefore. will be
the greatest warship that ever sailed
into the Pacific Ocean.
Some of the ships that will ac-
company the Mississippi can use
either coal or oil.
The proposed double standard pol
icy will find the United States. for
the first time in its history, amply
prepared for an emergency anywhere
in the world.

This advertisement is one of a series which
will be published from time to time to familarize
the whole building and home owning public with
the superior virtues of NU-DURA-TIN (stand-
ardized roofng) for private domiciles and pub
lie buildings of every kind
When we say standardized, we mean that it
has been built up to the degree of excellence
required by the specifications of two of Americas
greatest experts on tin plate
In order to have an intelligent understand
ing of just why we have gone to the trouble and
expense of standardizing tin roofing and of
naming it NU-DURA-TIN so that all builders
and owners may in the future be absolutely GER
tain of getting the best tin roofing that science has
evolved it is advisable that we tell something of
the history of tn-that great industry which
found its birth in the early part of the eighteenth
century
l. he practice of coating steel sheets with tin
was invented bya German chemist but the Ger
mans were not able to hold this business, so that
within half century after the discovery Wales
/ was producing the great bulk of the worlds sup
H ply of tin plate.
l The tin plate industry is divided into two
H classes-coke plates for food containers tobacco
and other products susceptible to injury through
II temperature or exposure r and terne plates the
\ lower grades of which used in lining export
N cases and Tor many other purposes, while the
higher grades are devoted exclusively to the
roofing of homes, schools, churches and buildings
Il of every kind.
i The word "terne'' is Welsh corruption of
| French word, meaning "to turn" the idea being
/ that tene plates turned back the elements
Conditions of manufacture forty or ffty
i years ago made it impossible for the American
/ manufacturer to compete with the Welsh pro-
/ ducer, and, in order to relieve this condition. the
/ Mckinley tariff bill was passed in 1890 This
H made it possible to manufacture tin and terne
H plates in America
II Since 1890 the industry has grown by leaps
II and bounds while the quality of the plates pro-
HI duced in America is considerably better than
III those made in Wales since the American manu-
H facturer and the American workman have been
HI able to make many improvements in both methods
II and machinery.
III NU-DURA-TIN has been standardized
M and built up to point of excellence without

III lihood of its buyer and user receiving an inferior
MI tin. 1t is fact that there have been two elements
iii in the past which have injured the use of tin as
Hi roofing One was the poor quality of some of the
III plates made when the industry first was started in
III America and the other was the, placing on roofs
