Don't Buy Private
Brand Roofing

When you buy an unknown private
brand of roofing you give the dealer, if
he is INSCRIPTIONS, chance to double
cross you.
In the first place, how do you know
what quality of roofing you are buying?
He may say that it is hrst-grade, be-
cause even an expert cannot tell the
grade by just looking at it. Our third
grade roofing looks as good as any.
The chances are that you will get me-
dunn or poor grade of roofing and pay
a first-grade price for it. At least, an
INSCRIPTIONS dealer with an unknown
private brand of roofing can woiS that
on you if he wants to.

There is nothing to stop his taking

why some dealers would rather sell pri-

Any responsible dealer can sell Certain

it because so many dealers handle it and
everybody knows the price.
Of course, you know what to expect

gets it when he wants it and he gets
what he wants. He can afford to sell

Coast Altitude
Record Smashed

The former altitude record of
$500 feet, held by Olaf (Swede)
Meyerhoffer, made in San Diego,
in 1917, with an old type Curtiss
plane, equipped with an 80 h. p.
motor, has been shattered, An
altitude of 2l,800 feet was made
by Walter I. Varney, f,ing a
Lincoln-Standard airplane, equip
ped with a 238- horsepower His
pano-Suiza motor. This new Pa
cifc altitude record was made
over the city of San Francisco.
Varney took off" at 1901
o'clock, attaining an altitude Of
10000 feet on his first circle of
the field. The further series of
circles took him out Of sight of
the spectators on the ground.
His attempted altitude of $4,000
feet failed on account of the in
tense cold and the rarity of the
air. At $4,000 feet he began to
feel the cold and the thermome-
ter on the ship" registered six
degrees below zero at the maxi
mum height attained on this
flight. Varney's face and even
his hands, although encased in
fur gloves, were blue with cold
upon landing.
While Varney reported he had
difficulty breathing at this great
altitude, he had no engine diff
ficulty whatever. Varney used
Red Crown gasoline and ZeroIene
lubricating OIL. Under the nor
NAL conditions of the first stages
of his flight, he climbed at the
rate of LOCO feet a minute, but
at an altitude of $4,000 feet, the
air was so thin" that at times
the plane dropped 80 to rs feet
before catching hold, and the
speed was cut to 600 feet a min
uLe.
Varney did not attempt to
break the record set by Major
Schroeder, who, flying a lie Pere,
attained height of $4,000 feet.
Major Schroeder, on tins great
climb, was equipped with oxygen
tanks and apparatus and electric,
heated clothes. Varney plans
other flights over San Francisco
and expects to establish q new
altitude record for the Pacific
Coast.
Meyerhoffer, Chief Test Pilot
for the Varney forces, also made
a test flight and attained a height
of l9, 600 feet, which is 800 feet
better than the record he estab-
lIshed three years ago.

But. regardless OF all she did, the same
youthful features were ever before her.
There had been trouble az the mine

Superintendent Elliot for trying to or.

Madge had noticed Mexican Mike ana
Don Pedro constantly together when
ever an opportunity presented itself
and Invariably they were holding whis.
pered conversations. Madge spoke Of
this to the superintendent and as a
result he sized up the situation and
quickly headed off the proposed strike
"You are just like your father" said
Big Jim to Madge, when she told him
about the two miners; nothing escapes
his eagle eye"
This WAS accepted by Madge as
compliment for she knew that her ia

ness man. Now. that everything was
orderly at the mine. all men except the
two disturbers were at their regular
places. and work was progressing as
usual when Madge and Ena arrived,
Not seeing the superintendent Ena
concluded that she would like TO ac-
company Madge on a walk around the
mountain, so 1t was that the two young
girls sooD found themselves strolling
along the lonesome trail.
"Madge, how did you ever come to
select such lonesome looking trail to
while away your hours?" asked Ena.
"Just because felt that way" was
the reply.
"You lonesome! Why. Madge. ]
never knew you to be that way be-
fore!"
'But you know there are times when
one wants to he away from everybody
and everything-shut out from the
world as it were. At least feel that
way at times"
"Yes, suppose that is true" said
Ena.
The two girls reached the large rock
that Madge visited so frequently and
sat down in silence. "Do you know"
