Away back in the dawn of his

world.
The ancient civilization of Egypt
showed considerable progress, the
early Egyptian houses being built Of
sun-dried brick and wood. In AS
syria we find gorgeous palaces and
temples built of bituminous bricks,
cemented with bituminous clay, and
castings of enameled tile. Cypress
and cedar wood played an important
part, for the roofs were composed
Of huge beams, carrying layers Of

Roof Makes Home CoZy.
Under modern standards of liv-
ing, a good roof is essential-one
that is water-tight and preferably
tight against wind and cold. Under
such a shelter, a warm, cheerful,
comfortable home is possible in
any climate.
Excepting architects, few people
realize that the roof is called on to
withstand more severe attacks Of
the elements than any other portion
Of the house. TIE sun, wind and
rain beat upon it; the snow weights
1t down and it is exposed to the
assaults Of winds and storms in
greater degree than other parts Of
the structure. 1t Is the supreme
point of wear.
There are many types Of roofing
in general use today and each has
it's special field and usefulness. For
flat roofs of warehouses, office
buildings, hotels, apartment build
ings and theaters, built up" roof
ing, with a graveled surface, Is in
general use.
There are two general types OF
built up" roofing-one moppec

cure so favorable a rate. The
"built-up" roof is almost univer
sally used for flat decks. On con
crete roof decks, whether flat Oh
sloping, it is always necessary tc
use a waterproof covering, usually
cement or composition.
Corrugated galvanized iron has
great rigidity and can be used ir
large sheets and fastened directly
to purlins where a light roof d
siding is desirable.
Cement Tile Use.
One Of the more modern develop
ments in roof coverings is cement
tile, which is coming into genera
use on certain types of better class
industrial buildings. These tile are
reinforced with wire mesh. The
interlocking type requires no roo
deck and can be laid directly or
purlins. Small cement tile, per
manently tinted, are being exten
sively used on residences of The
better class.
Wood shingles have been popular
In the United States for roofing res

the days of the thirteen origina
colonies. Probably no other form

How TO Make Pine

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip.

reason is that pine contains several
elements that have a remarkable
effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The Syrup" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.

more, women push the fortunes of
the agreeable unmarried man, but
they never bother themselves to help
the married men.
Besides these reasons for remain
ing single, the ambitious man has
still another for not marrying. He
is selfish and he wants to spend his
money on himself.
The salary that enables a single
man to dress well, belong to a good
club, live in a good location. and en-
JOY most Of the luxIries of life. will
doom him to shabby clothes, ugly
surroundings and a fiat full of cry
ing babies if he marries. So it is
easy to see why domesticity has no
charms for him, and why no woman
is Vamp enough to get him.
But it is not fair to blame the
women for men not marrying young.
Nor is it fair to claim that all girls
are not willing to marry poor men
and work up with them. They don't
set the chance to do it.
In all sober truth, it is the men
who have the least to offer girls
who oftenest propose. And the girls
take them. Does that look as ii
women weren't ready to take any
risk for love?

There is sharp distinction be-

Some natures are so constituted
that they do not feel pain very
keenly. To persons of this tenn
permanent, fear is comparatively
a stranger.
We must not suppose that this
lnsenSlhility makes them brave.
1t simply exempts them from the
necessity of courage.
The bravest soul is that which
feels the tremor and resists it,
shrinks from the flame and

Never was better soldier than
the old French marshal, Montluc,
who said that he had often gone
into battle shaking with fear,

when he had said a prayer.
The same thing is true in

NeW Brakes

Larger, more powerful, simpler and much easier
operated two-wheel brakes. An entirely new emer-
gency brake is operated from the instrument board,
instantly convenient to the drivers hand where it
simpihes the control and frees the floor board from
the old style lever It the propeller shaft.
There is uniform pressure at each wheel-equalized
through the rear axle.
The regular two-wheel Studebaker brakes with
their simplicity, safety and great braking power
are entirely adequate.

COMPLETELY NEW BODIES - each car
mastery expression of modern style, yet distinctly
original in beautiful lines-indvidual conservative
impressively elegant, but crisp enough in its de-
parture from imitation to be entirely distinctive.
The FiVe NeaV Duplex Bodies
"a nesV type of car originated by St,tdebaker to
take the place of the open car)
so ENTIRELY NEW and so different from
any other body ever made before that name
had to be created-the DUPLEX.
The upper structure is shaped in pressed steel
and covered with the finest waterproof fabric.
The steel construction permits the use of another
radical Studebaker creation, the roller enclos-
ing curtains. There is the permanent beauty and
durability of the steel top plus the instant con-
venience of the roller curtains
Thus Studebaker engineers have solved the open
closed car problem.
The buyer who wants the airiness and practical
convenience of the open Car and who also wants
the comfort, protection and beauty of the closed
car can now get both in and at the price
of an open car.
One moment the new Studebaker Duplex is a
beautiful open cara touch of the hand to the
overlapping roller curtains and it is a snug
weather.tght closed
