BREED THEATRE

Some time ago it was announced that the celebrated Dustin Farnum would make another series of pictures for Will liam Fox. The first of the series to be released was "The Primal Law" a stirring western picture. The second, The Devil Within, will be the feature at the Breed theatre today and tomorrow. It is said that Dustin Farnum never has surpassed his work in this production.
 The picture fades in with a scene of a towering brute of a sea captain who treats his crew with hsbitual cruelty. The only one that dares question his wishes is Dr. Philioil, whom the captain respects slightly for his mental superiority. In a drunken craze the shipmaster arouses the wrath of some island savages by confis- eating one of their idols-thereby draw ing upon himself a native witchs curse. From then on a series of misfortunes be- fall the aging man. His redemption is finally accomplished through suffering. The love theme has to do with the cap- tain's nephew.
 Round four of "The Leather Pushers'i will also be shown and Movie Chats and l an Education comedy will make up the remainder of the bill.

PHENOMENAL DEVELOPMENT OF READY ROOFING INDUSTRY Asphalt Shingles and Roll RoofinEs Make
 Clan4 Etrtd..

If the man who in 1900 went on record with the statement that wooden shingle1 constituted the one and only propE and fitting and sensible covering for a roof could get birds eye of the average American residential or industrial com munity of 1922, surely something of shock would be his portion.
 The tale of the growth of the asphalt shingle and roll roofing business would read like true romance. It Is a typic- all American industrial achievement In the process, covering a period of substan- tiaIly but 20 brief years, it's only par allel perhaps has been the development of the power-driven commercial vericIe and the pleasure automobile.
 When the asphalt shingle first was ad- vocated by its pioneers, it was the butt of considerable humor in our best build ing circles. It was at the receiving end of much sarcasm and contempt.
 At that time for roofing a house or a building, generally speaking, there were nothing but wooden shingles, and, accord ing to the alleged informed. there never would be anything but wooden shingles.
 Notwithstanding the unprofitable fate predicted fo- the bold ones sponsoring tho new-fangled idea known as asphalt shingles, within five yeaH the volume of prepared roofing manufactured and sold was practically on a parity with the wooden shingle. And each ensuing year has seen it's increasingly great use. To the making of the asphalt roofing product of today every man. woman and child in America contributes. Its base is rag felt. The blanket one sleeps on to- night may help to cover ones roof tomor- row. Every nook and corner of the land fe had 4lxr s..k l. N~4. converted into the heavy felt which is ths ] first element in this roofing. Mexico and the United States furnish the asphalt while the ground slate with which it is joined in the painstaking production pro- cess has it's source in the quarries of
 Michigan, Georgia, PennaTivsniz and Vermont.
 The asphalt roofing industry is wide i awake and aggressive industry. Ire i spectiYe of the position 1t has attained. It's future is all ahead. When its story is put upon paper one of the most conspicu- ous names will be that of a New England organization, Bird & Son. Inc, of East Walpole. Mass, with their great roofing plants at that point, at Phillipsdale, Nor wood, at Chicago. Illinois; Hamilton, On- tario, and Port Rouge, Qusbec. The first Bird & Son asphalt shiEzle was made al East Walpole on Jan. 1. 1913. Last year the shipment were 1e4.3s1 squares. This year the capacity has been increased 900 per cent.
 How great has been the development fin ready roohngs generally perhaps find, its best demonstrations in Bird & Son'i record in the industry, an institution es- tablished in New England in 17s5 and which has grown to be one of the larges of It's kind in the world-an example oi New England enterprise of which ever,
 New Englander may be really and trul, proud
