The Sure Way to Test
Roofing is on the Roof

Some men think that they can tell good
roofing by smelling it. Figure it out
yourself. How Is any mans nose going
to tell him how long roofing will last
and how much protection from storms,
SHOWS and rains II will give.
And protection and lasting qualities
are what you pay money for.
The only sure way to test roofing ID on
the roof.
That is where Certain-teed Roofing has
been tested by time-tested for wear
tested for shelter-all over the world.
Certain-teed Roofing has never been
known to wear out on the roof. 1t is
guaranteed for S, 10 or Is years, ac-

Private Brands and
Big Profits

Some dealers will try to sell you private
brands Of roofing, not because they are
as good or better than Certain-teed, but
because there is more dealer profit in
them. Those profits come out Of you.
Dealers make fair profit on Certain
teed, but they are limited to fair profit
because so many dealers handle it and
everybody knows the price.
Don't take gamblers chance on an
unknown brand. Buy for known value
at price which is fair to everyone.
Any reliable dealer can get Certain-teed
for you quickly from nearby Certain
teed warehouse or jobber. He gets it
when he wants it and he gets what he
wants. He can afford to sell you at
fair price.

rates. The upward trend Of call money
rates in the eastern market was reflected
to some extent In western sections Of
the country. Several important factors
enter into the financial situation, the
course If which have resulted In causing
discount rates TO be maintained which
had conditions developed as anticipated
a few months ago would have resulted
In funds at the principal banking insti-
tutions being more plentiful.
Mercantile lines have felt the loss Of
ready funds due to the warm weather,
whereby sales Of seasonable merchan-
disc have been restricted. Further
more, the period Of readjustment In
commercial and Industrial lines has
been slow and LIQUIDATION of stocks on
hand small in consideration Of reduc-
tion in some commodities. In other
words, price reductions have not been
sufficient In commodities In general to
induce an increased amount Of pur-
chasing.

PILE OF NEWSPAPERS
OF MUCH ASSISTANCE
Worked Under Wheels, They Help
Motorist Out of Mud.
Method of Handling Difficult Situation
So Simple and So Uniformly Sue
cessfuI That Every Driver
Should Know of It.

From a motorist who lives in a sec
ton where mud roads are common
comes a suggestion which its author
guarantees as the best remedy for such
a situation short of q pair of husky
mules. He states that he has tried the
method on numerous occasions, and
that 1t has never failed to work.. He
says:
Il always have stored away some
where in my car a stack of old news
papers. They don't take up so much
room but that 1 can always find a place
for them. When l strike a mudhole
and the wheels begin to fly around in
that exasperating way which tells me
that I am firmly and definitely stuck,
1 get out my bundle of papers.
Taking a newspaper 1 fold 1t in
half horizontal across the page and
proceed to the task of working the
paper between the tire and the mud.
This is u simple matter, and is accom-
plished by feeding the paper while the
wheels are being revolved. I feed the
paper in lengthwise. Usually only a
few will have been worked In when
the tires will begin to grip and the
car start forward. If a few won't
do the work, keep IN feeding in the
papers until good traction is gained.
This method of handling n difficult
situation is so simple inc so uniform
ly successful that every motorist should
know it. If he is not equipped with
some other apparatus for such a con
tingency, he should always have a
little pile of newspapers stored away
in some empty place in his car.
"In many localities it might be pos
sible for a motOrist to get old news
papers from nelghboring houses; but
when the mishap occurs in some lonely
spot, lucky is the man who has some
newspapers in his machine"
, 1920-03-04
srigand Met His Match.

A certain English financial journal,
which had a short life, published in
one of its issues a most scathing but
at the same time nonactionable and
amusing structure oil a member of the
stock exchange who had a somewhat
shady reputation. The subject of the
structure had n double-barreled name
which we will call Jones-Smithson
and the paragraph about him was as
follows:
"We understand that Mr.. Jones
Smithson has been spending his holt
days among the Italian lakes. Last
week he was attacked by a brigand,
and in the course Of the encounter the
brigand lost his watch and chain"

NEEDFIRE OLD FOLK CUSTOM
Part of the Ritual of Publication That
Has Survived In Scotland Until
Recently.

In folk custom, needfire is fire kin
died by friction of two sticks of wood
or Of a rope on a wooden stake to
ward Off demons of disease. Among the
many customs and beliefs connected
with fire n of the most important is
that Of ritual publication. The new
fire is supposed to r~egenerate, as fire
sacrifice is designed to sustain, the
invisible beings. Needire is a, prac-
tice, usually, of shepherd peoples to
ward off disease from the flocks. In
historic times the sparks for kindling
the needfire were obtained by twirling
a wooden peg around n wooden post.
AS in the case of new fire, the need
fire was almost always accompanied
with the e~xtinguishing of the fires of
the locality, and the neighbors also
rekindled their fires from 1t as in the
new fire ceremony. In practice, the
people passed, or the herds were driv-
en- through or between the flames Of
the needfre for publication. The need
fire custom survived in the highlands
of Scotland until recent date, and
probably traces of this superstition
still exist In parts of Europe.
