SHEET METAL
IN 5. A.
Local Contractors Have
Launched Drive for
Better Building.

The San Antonio Sheet Metal Con.
tractors Association has launched q
campaign to popularize the use OF
sheet metal products as permanent
construction. especially on roofs. Sheet
metal is almost everlasting when per-
fectly put on. Sheet metal can be
used in many ways to beautify and
protect property from weather, fire
and storm. The members of this Or
ganization are concerns who are ex-
perienced in the working of sheet
metal.
In addition to handling sheet metal
the members of this association are
dealers in iron and copper. Since the
first stages of civilization, iron and
copper have been the most important
factors in the development of the in
dustrial world. With fire and iron
ore, man has made many products.
He has enabled few to do the work
of hundreds.
ROOFS HISTORY.
The history of the roof is seldom re-
called; yet Its story is older than
the time OF King Solomon, or even
the epoch of Noah. A roof today
means the same as it did then and is
utilized for the same purpose top
covering of a building.
A roof that will give perfect ser
vice for 53 years is no doubt a re-
markable record. The ROOF. on the
San Fernando Cathedral is a specific
example of the endurance OF the sheet

Sheet metal is not only used for
its permanency but it is also used
for its beauty. 1t gives very pleas
ing appearance and is most attractive.
Sheet metal has proven that it is fire
proof under very difficult test. where
as, concrete is not, even though It
may appear that it is.
Climatic conditions as well as
time have played an important role
in the progress Of the roof and only
the more permanent materials and
workmanship have survived.
The cornice on a building is placed
there simply to beautify the structure.

The work being accomplished

industrial program to eliminate waste
that ! am very glad to record my
hearty approval of the procedure anu

have authoritative control over man

would be in keeping for US TO endorse
specific findings in Simpliiied Pfae-

Steel's Ebay Week
Made Record in 1924

Washington, June 80. - Shorter
hours in the steel industry is far lrom
a fact, according to the United States
bureau of labor statistics, which has
issued a pamphlet on this subject.
The public has been led 10 believe
that in the latter part of 1923 the
steel trust graciously reduced the
working time Of lis employees after
the nationwide steel strike. but the
government report shows that in some
departments the seyen-day week Is
more extensive than ever.
In open-hearth furnaces, last year,
81 per cent of the employees worked
esven DAYS a week, while an additional
80 per cent alternated or rotated reg
ularly from six to seven days. This
is the largest amount Of SeNen-day
work for any year reported.
In 1920, the previous high year. SO
per cent of the employees worked seven
DAYS per week and 40 per cent alter
mated between six and seven days.
Seven days in blast furnaces also
increased. Last year so per cent Of
the employees worked seven days either
all or part of the time, rs compared
with IS per cent in 1914. Blooming
mills showed more seven-day work
last year than any other year.
"Some plants which operate seven
DAYS per week make provision for lay
ing off each employe one day week
the report states. There is no indlca-
tion Of the extent of this practice,
however, though the figures indicate
that the seven-day week IS extending.

Morning service at the Old South
Congregational church was full of in
terest and inspiration. The church
was beautifully decorated with asters
and other late garden flowers. The
decoration was the work of Mrs. Fer
dinand Coburn.
The music was Of high order.
There were two anthems by the choir.
The second anthem, the offertory, con-
tanned solo parts sung by Mrs. Nettie
M. Johnson and w. Frank Pierce. The
hymns were appropriate to the theme
and were the stately older hymns of
the church. One Of them was Addi-
sons THE Spacious Firmament on
High"
The pastor, Rev. w. p. Bradford.
spoke in an interesting and instructive
fashion on Light as applied to the
Christian life. In introduction he
pointed out the beneficient effects of
the light of the sun and the part that
light plays in nature. Then he re-
minded his audience that Christ had
called himself the light of the world
and said the same thing Of his follow
ers. He went on to show how mankind
seeks light to solve various problems,
and how for each a leader arises. He
spoke Of drudgery in ordinary life and
how the light Of Christ makes 1t di-
vine. Then he proceeded to draw
practical lessons for the benefit of fol-
lowers Of Christ. There was an ex-
cellent attendance, including some peo-
Pile from out of town.

Two. Accidents in
HallOWell Saturday

The rain of Saturday, the detour to
Gardiner ana haste on the part of au-
tomobilists were causes Of two auto
mobile accidents Saturday, both oc-
curing at the corner of Temple and
Water streets. The first one, the more
serious of the two, happened just aft
er IL o'clock in the morning. A REQ
sedan, said to be number 94,424, and
the property of Miss Marion Larrabee
of Pittston. was struck by the Ills
Augusta-bounde electric just as the au-
tomobilo was attempting to make the
turn into Water street. 1t was said
that the driver was attempting to cross
and did no. see or hear the car until
too late. The electric car was driven
by Walter Essancy. No one was hurt,
but one wheel Of the Automobile was
driven under. one light broken. the
mudguard bent. and other injuries sus-
tanned about the front and one side.
The second accident happened about
dusk IN the same spot. A car driven
by q Mr.. Anderson OF Portland was
edged over by another car in too great
haste to make the turn. The Anderson
car went into the ditch and suffered
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1925-10-05

some minor injuries. The name and
driver of the other car were not Sc
cured.
The same day what might have been
a very serious accident was narrowly
averted. Four cars, coming from four
different directions. nearly met at the
intersection of Second and Union
streets. All four stopped with grind
ing and shrieking of brakes. just In
time to avert a mix-up 1t would ap-
parently be well for drivers Of cars
making the detour to proceed with
some degree Of caution until they are
en- the main road again. 1t would at
least give pedestrians chance in MAX
ing that crossing and might avert Sc
rious trouble.

Mrs. Fred Lilly.

portance that came before the meet
ing was the question of joining with

case for the old flags at the Hubbard
Free Library. 1t was decided to do
this and a committee for the work
was appointed, Miss r. A. Gilpat-
rick, chairman; other members,
Mrs. Kate Beaman Berry and Mrs.
Ben Tenney. The matter of the
meeting OF the State Advisory board
Tuesday in Augusta Tuesday was
taken up and the point emphasized
that all members of the society
were invited to be present, both at
the meetings and at the reception
which follows.
The general topic OF the meeting
was D. A. r. history, II being the Both
national society. The roll call was
in keeping with the general theme,
National Oficers. Past and Pres
ent." After the business meeting
there was a short account of the
State field day. then Mrs. Mabel
Hall gave an excellent paper on the
organization of the national society,
founded October II. 1890. She took
up the reasons which led to its
founding. the aims of the society,
some of its early president-generals.
the work which the society has done
and the place in the national life
which it has come to fill in the 30
years of it's existence. Her treat
ment was clear and full and made
her hearers feel their privilege in
belonging to such an organization.
At the close of the formal pro-
gram there was some informal dis
cussion, then period of social con-
versation and renewing of acquain-
tanceship. Refreshments OF fruit
salad, rolls, olives. coffee, and cake
were served by the hostesses. One
delightful feature was a birthday
cake. the work of Miss Tilden. With
it's candles alight it was most at
tractive. After they were blown out
by the members in turn, the cake
was served and found as delicious as
it had been attractive in appearance.
The next meeting will be with Mrs.
Rush w. d. Smith.

large number took the opportunity to
take first hand lesson in this big
project. A diver was at work inves-
tigating the location and condition
of the cables connecting Gardiner and
Randolph. The fact that the work.
men have encountered soft bottom is
expected to delay the work some
what. The steam hammer is driving
pilings in the cofferdam. this being
necessary on account of the quick
