CENTRAL MISSION
DRIVE E|SSTARTED
Management Hopes to Raise
$35, 900 in "Brick- Selling"
Contest.

Hoping to raise $500 over a period
OF about two weeks, the Central
Union Mission today started a "brick-
selling contest" The money will be
added to $65.o0o now in hand, and will
be used to begin the erection Of
new mission building on the site Of
the present building at 622 Louisiana
avenue northwest.
Headquarters of the contest will be
room 3o7, Citizens Savings Bank
building. 1887 New York avenue. The
contest is being conducted under
direction of John s. Bennett, the su-
perintendent, and Mrs. Bennett. and
is being participated in by twenty
five teams of men and twenty-five
! teams of women. there being q cap
tain and six workers on each team. 1t
is hoped by those participating in the
contest to sell 1000 bricks each at IS
each.
Bennetts In Charge.
Unlike most efforts Of this kind to
raise money there will be practically
no expense to the mission. Mr.. and
Mrs Bennett are the active heads Of
the movement and they are being
supported by the ministerial council
and the board of directors. as well as
women's organizations connected with
the mission. The only cost will be for
printing and other Sundries that are
Indispensable In order to stimulate
interest in the contest a friend OF the
mission has donated prizes which will
be given to both the man and woman
selling the greatest number or bricks
COUPONS representing a brick, Will be
given for each purchase.
At the headquarters. when they are
definitely established, large black
board will carry an announcement
each day of the number of bricks each
team has sold. Reports will be made
to headquarters at 1870 o'clock each
afternoon. The mission has SO many
friends in Washington, having been
the first mission of its kind establish
ed here. and being the Mission OF the
Churches" that il is anticipated the
money will be raised within the al
lotted period of two weeks.
The need for a new building is ap-
parent to those who are interested IN
the work of the mission. The old
building, on Louisiana avenue, is IN
such condition that haruiy aoequate
quarters can he furnished those who
apply for a nights lodging. For one
thing, Supt. Bennett calls attention
to the fact that the heating plant has
virtually worn itself out and that the
upper floors, which are occupied as
bedrooms. cannot now be heated.
1t is also desired by those interest
ed in raising the necessary $4,000 to
begin building operations to call at
tention to the fact that the mission
has never conducted a money-raising &
campaign or has il taken other steps
rof q similar character to raise funds
for current expenses. Money for this
purpose comes strictly from dona-
tions and the only time the mission
has asked for money has been in
order TO erect the proposed new
building.

types. Flat roofs, especially for the
smaller dwellings, seem we'll adapted
to snowless climates.
Development in roofing, both in
the preparation of the materials and
in the color combinations now pos
sible, has been little less than amaz-
ing in the present period. Wonder
full color effects, soft and yet varied,
may be obtained in roofing ma
teria1s.
While the modern prepared roof
had its birth in Europe it remained
for American roofing engineers to
apply the Egyptian waterproohng
principles. 1t was they who devel-
oped the watertight, storm-resistant
and fire-resistant qualities. From
the humble European beginning
arose the American composition
roofing industry, now one of the
greatest in the world devoted to the
utilization of waste products.
Through its magic, the shirts and
old dresses that covered the backs
of the nation last year are covering
the roofs of the nation this season.
The whole country is being combed
for suitable rags and old carpets so
that the heavy felt which forms the
basis of good roofing may be had
in steady supply. e.
Combined with this heavy rag
felt is the asphalt compound that is
by-product of the oil industry.
This is pressed into the fabric dur
ing its manufacture and the whole
is then surfaced with various fin
ishes, such as pressed natural slate,
soap stone, tale and mica from de-
posts in every state in the nation:
OF late years the manufacture OF
composition roofing has become
even more important with the per-
lection of the asphalt single. This
has now become a standard product
of universal use throughout the
