ROOF TODAY MUST BE COAL
SAVER, HEAT PROTECTOR

/ roofs. carried on vaults OF a pointed
arched form .....
One of the new features in ROOF
construction is the asphalt shinglt
roof which has proven its value as
fire preventative in superior man
ner, states Mr.. Turner. Numerous
fire chiefs have endorsed the asphalt
single roof for this reason.
The Rex Flintkote Strip Shingles
have eliminated this trouble, Mr.
Turner states. These shingles arc
simply placed right over the old worn
out wooden shingles with little diff
Guilty. In addition to being fireproof,
these shingles save the purchaser a
considerable amount of money on ac-
count of saving the cost of tearing off
the wooden shingles in addition to fill
ing in of the sheathing before apply ing
the new shingles.
Asbestos shingles also cause a very
small amount of worry due TO their
fireproof quality. One also saves on
the insurance rate by having a fire
resisting roof.
In addition, the owner saves on his
coal bill. The old wooden shingles I'M
der meath the Rex Flintocke Strip
Shingles serve as added insulation,
holding the heat in the house and pre-
venting its escape. This means that
less coal is needed TO generate heat.
20-YEAR GUARANTEE.
While this makes the house warmer
in winter, it also makes the home cool
er in the summer, for there is an air
space between the old and the nGw
shingles that prevents the penetration
of the terrific hear, aided Mr.. Turner.
Another type of roof in which this
company specializes is the Barrett
Specification Roof which, is bonded for
20 years.
1t was from small beginning that
the Turner Roofing and Supply Com
pany has now grown 70 one of the
largest concerns Of its kind in the
city, doing an annual business Of
$4,000. Mr.. Turner attributes the
success in the last IL years
to the policy of giving satisfactory,
pleasing and efficient service at all
times. This concern has recently
moved into its new home and Mr..
Turner states that this company is in
a better position to serve its patrons
today than il ever was before.

SHORT HAUL ON GRAVEL
SPEEDS UP S. A. BUILDING

of the Salado Gravel company is high
grade lime stone and is well adapt
able for high class concrete construc-
ton. The company has been in opera
ton only a short time, but it already
has among its customers great many
big contractors, as well as a number
Of lumber yards over the city.
SPEEDS UP BUILDING.
The people who are users of con-
crete gravel and are interested in the
very best can readily appreciate the
value Of such concern. Mr.. Stieler
states that out of the many businesses
in which he has been engaged this is,
BY far, the most interesting.
Formerly all the gravel that was
used had to be shipped in. This often
caused delay in building because the
cars were frequently detained at diff
ferent points and we're late in arriv-
ing. Now the gravel can be brought
to the jobs from the pit, and all the
unnecessary loading and unloading is
eliminated.
The motto Of this company from
the very beginning has been quality
and service. The company invites all
users of high grade concrete, or any
one who would be interested TO come
out and inspect the plant" says Mr..
Stieler.

Everyone has seen thousands o.
roofs. There arc few who know theiI
history and the varied process through
which they have undergone. For it is a
known fact that the commonplace
things of life arc always the ones with
which man is least acquainted. Despite
the usual long history of study, ex-
pcrimentation. and progress with
which the process of the roof is at
tached, IL is merely considered as Il
matter of course. The history of the
roof is seldom recalled; yet its story
is older than the time of King Solo
mon. the days of the Egyptian Phar-
oahs. or even the epoch of Noah.
A roof today means the same as it
did then and was utilized for the same
purpose-a top or covering of build
ing. The people in the Biblical days,
however. considered a roof more sa-
cred. "YOu are welcome under the roof
of my house." was the term or express
sion then used by host. Today it is

cordial way in which to inform a
visitor that the host maintained a
substantial hOme-or rather one which
had roof. stated William A. Turner
of Turner Roofing and Supply Com
pany of 1908 East Houston street.
Climatic conditions as well as time
have played an important role in the
progress of the roof. In the dry coun-
tries such as Syria and Egypt the
roofs of the various homes and build
ings are flat. In t.. rainy lands as
Japan and England. the roofs on the
homes are sloped. The earliest form OF
roof had an outer covering which was
supported on simple beams of wood.
The more important buildings, how
ever. such structure. as the Egyptian
temples used monoliths about 20 feet
long for beams. while the Greek and
Roman temples had large roofs framed
in timber. Later the Romans improved
this roof by adding various styled
arches and domes. The Panthenon isl
considered one of thu finest examples
of this type of architecture. The
framed roofs of the Roman basilicas

Lazy Lillian.

There are two kinds of fat people
those who are born fat and those who
acquire fat through sheer laziness.
In recent article l exhorted the
despairing fat girls to be of good
cheer, for very often it is easy to
overcome the handicap Of too much

Is accompanied by genial disposition.
good line, trick OF dressing well
and a muscular frame that rather ex-
cuses the overweight.
But | did not mean to convey the
idea that the Lazy Lillians of the
world are to be permitted to grow
stouter and stouter and still retain
their popularity.
The big. healthy, strapping girl who
Is big in proportion to her size and
muscular development is a very diff
ferent thing from the rather sloppy
looking, pudgy creature who allows
the rolls Of soft fat to accumulate
without doing anything to stop it.
The particular Lazy Lillian l have
in mind has cause to rue her idleness
and carelessness which have allowed
her to grow from an attractive, plump
young person into a waddling, over
stuffed figure which excites ridicule
from all.
attractive young chap, who had pre-
Wously been engaged to a stunning
girl-a regular Diana Still. he loved
Lillian, remained true to her, and they
made thoroughly happy pair.
Then little L. began to grow lazy

riding which had kept her in trim
announced that since she'd bagged a
man. the need for proficiency in these
sports was no longer existent.
And gradually II chin was added
here, full inch of flesh on the arm
there, until at "a our heroine was just
such a comic figure as you see de-
picted in the well known funny pa
pers. And she didn't care.
In spite of all her fiances chafing
and teasing she continued to eat thou
sands of chocolates, to sleep all day,
to hire taxis instead OF walking.
When her friends demonstrated with
her, asking her why she didn't snap
out of it and try TO improve her ap-
pearance. she laughed-a long, lazy
chuckle-and said: Why should I?
I'm comfortable. And Henry likes me
all right"
But Henry didn't like her all right.
He was first annoyed and then dis
gusted at the sluggishness Of her
temperament-at the perfect COM
placency with which she accepted the
fact that she was far too fat to be
pretty any more. And so Henry and
Lillian are no longer engaged-and
the lazy one is desperately striving,
by means of baths and cures. TO re-
gain her slim. girlish beauty.
II doesn't pay to let yourself go. If
you can save yourself from overstep-
ping the weight mark, do it, and pre-
serve the respect of your friends.
There's something unattractive in
the sight of a girl too lazy to take the
trouble to keep herself young and
pretty.

What Tomorrow Means to You
Virgo.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Virgo.
Tomorrow planetary aspects are
complex, and indicate neither any
favorable nor adverse signs. Just
after noon there will be evinced an
almost uncomfortable impulse to do or
say something that had better be
left either undone or unsaid. This
period is only transitory, and there
after the indications point to a time
of contentment. without any special
desire, on your part. to start things
going, or any incentive to be other
than natural. The readings do. how.
ever. disclose that 1t is an opportune
and auspicious occasion for mating, -
and a wedding celebrated will, in all
probability. be productive OF lasting
happiness and Joy.
Children born tomorrow are des
tined to go through infancy with
little or no sickness, but will be sub
ject to ailments of worrying nature
in their youth. The care and nutri
ton that they have received in their
very early years will, more than any
thing else, determine the outcome OF
any Illness at a later stage in life
In character and disposition they will
not reveal much strength or determi
nation. and they will always be easily
swayed by the example and persua
sions of others-be they good or be
they bad. They will have attractive
but not dominating personalities, and
their very charm will offer a tempta
tion to those that are unscrupulous
They will not be addicted to study
but will always pull through"
