The days of modern shingles are
passing, and in fact have already
gone beyond recovery. Other mater
ials have taken their place. reduced
fire liability and insurance rates. In
order to gain some idea of the yalume
of business done by artificial roofing
concerns il may be proper to say in
this connection that 2 statement by
the secretary of the Prepared Roof
ing Association shows that there was
manufactured in the United States
and Canada during the year 1929
enough asphalt squares to make 3
iath a foot wide twenty-three times
around the earth. Another feature
OF the prepared roofing business IS
the fact that people know little OF
what materials such roofing Is made.
Discarded hats and coats enter large.
iy into the preparation Of roofing
Materials. They are put into a vat
and felt is made of them. The felt
is then saturated with asphalt. and
this saturated felt is put on the roofs
and covered with crushed stone.
Thus the house owner may have the
satisfaction of knowing that his dis
carded lid or the old coat that ne
sold to the ragman may possibly be
over his head and helping TO keep
ont the rain.

The German government insists
that II is broke ana cannot pay, while
German industries are on the way to
wonderful prosperity. Both private
companies and huge trusts are max
ing immense profits. How then a
the government be in such q condi-
ton that ii cannot pay an indemnity
SO small in comparison to Germany's
boosted wealth that the German gov.
ernment's proposition to the allies
looks ridiculous?
Germany is working. Her people
are working and she is rapidly re-
covering from the effects of the war.
There is something behind Germany's
claim that looks much like blum, and
there is little doubt that should the
allies yield to Germany's demand and
accept the amount which Germany
offers she would pay and then pro-
coed to m%onopolize the commercial
and industrial business of the world
for she is prepared to do 1t. Her in
dustries are not crippled. Her eco
monte system is in a reasonably
healthy condition. and II she can viii
her point she will undoubtedly lead
the world in competing in the mar
kets that she desires to secure. Ac
cording to statistics Germany's ples

"A navy second TO none may
sound patriotic and fill certain indi'
yiduals with pride that they are
Americans and that the American
navy is on the way to be the most
powerful in the world: but there are
others who look upon such a policy
with fear and trembling. They see
in this warlike activity for war;
cause for alliances against this ma.
ton, and a good reason for prepar-
ing for an emergency that may call
for their united efforts in order tc
preserve their national identity.
America has not In the past been a
warlike nation. We have been upon
the defensive always, but never the
offensive; yet the history of the world
Ia a warning against the of
military and naval power, and the ma.
lions naturally take the view that toe
much of such power is dangerous and
must be met ny similar preparations
and alliances that will preserve the
socalled balance of power"
II the United States Is looking for
trouble it can easily find 1t by creat.
ing q navy or an army that will, in
the estimation of the nations, be toe
powerful for international security.
International peace will be secured
only by international disarmament,
both military and naval, and any ma.
ton that attempts to increase its
lighting strength will delay the pro-
gress of peace and the lifting of the
burdens of militarism from the backs
of a discontinued people. The days
of passive submission to high taxa
ton for the support of militarism are
near. an end. There is a better way
and the people know ii, and endur-
ance is nearer the end than some OF
the m%ilitarists realize.
