ROOF OF NEW MAIL
BUILDING HOLDSAN
IMPORTANT PLACE

The many units necessary to
complete a building must all be of
a standard quality, or as nearly so
as possible, to insure uniform
service without worry or repairs,
and in no case is this more neces-
sary than the roof of a structure.
Exposed to great variations in
temperature and weather condi-
tions, a roof must be stufdiIy CON
structed and well put on, oflft can
not survive the war waged son it.
constantly by sun and rain, heat
and cold l6 Af3
For that reason, great care was
taken in choosing the roofing ma
terial on the new Winslow Mail
building, for the other elements GO
ing into its construction were chos-
Ell for their ability, in most cases
already proven, to withstand wear.
In choosing a metal tile roof,
Olds Brothers struck as near as
possible to the mark of combinih =
lasting good looks with lasting SER
vice, and without cutting too big a
hole in the budget. w
This type of roof, manufactured
by Wisconsin firm, has. proved
it's worth in all climates. The tile
are of heavy gauge galvanized met
AL interlocking and are coated on
| both sides with a rust resisting fin
! ish before they leave the factory.
In laying the roof, the utmost
| care was necessary, and this work
was handled by the Olds Brothers
themselves, who are general con-
| tractors for the whole bliilding In
most other cases, sub-contracts
were let, but so important Is the
roof of a structure that this lob
was considered too much of a key
note to the whole building I'd trust
it to other hands. ~"
Following it's placing, the roof
was coated with weather. proof roof
paint, and it should give trouble
free service for years. only requir-
ing an occasional coat of paint. AS
the shingles are in small gang
units, any defects will be cofnpara-
lively easy to replace.
| Inc importance Oh q rO0f almost
overshadows any other one thing,
unless it be general strength of the
building, which the new Mail build
! ing has in plenty.
Supposing that the two upper
floors had been left off, there are
thousands of dollars worth of
printing equipment, susceptible to
water and to dust, and a roof must
protect it. With the Howell Hotel
occupying the two upper floors, the
need for a dependable ROOF, is just
as apparent, for the comfort of its
guests must be the first thought of
the successful hotel.
J The welding of the parts. all ex-
cellent material, into an equally ex-
| cellent whole, is a ticklish job, in
which each sector must do it's part,
and the part of no other one factor
is so important as that of the roof.

The Winslow Mail building has
been an eminent achievement in the
career of this contracting firm, and
in itself; it should carry enough
prestige to assure still more pro-
gress in the future for Olds Broth

 PLANS REUNION
Enfield Horse Thief ChaSerS to
 Meet Tuesday

Thompsonyille Conn, Feb. UP)--- The oldest society in this town and one of the unique organizations of the state will have its. annual reun- lon tomorrow evening In tho Enfield Community house. This will be tho l03rd annual gathering of the En- field Society for Detection of Thieves and Robbers, organized In 1923 and which for many years has been con- tinued because Of the history and sentimental associations pertaining to it.
 Many organizations Of similar na ture formed in New England towns and districts ages ago although Woodstock still has such society, more than 1$o years old.
 Records of the society show many actual pursuits of horse thieves made for its members at the expense of the society but the last expense for this purpose was in 1So6. It was only a year ago, however, that q member notified the board of "pur- suers' that his hors" had been stolen, but the possibility of a "pur- suit" was forestalled when the horse was found next morning In it's ac- customed place.
 The Enfield society still adheres closely 10 all provisions of the old constitution, elccting "pursucrs' eacn year and always retaining at least $500 in the treasury so that funds shall be available If needed for pur- suits.

Teeth Put Into
BankruDt Law

On August 81 the amendments to
the bankruptcy law will become eff
fective, and they are intended to elm
inate number of abuses which are
possible under the present statute.
There have been so many crooked
cases in bankruptcy that congress felt
it was necessary to do something in
order that there might not be a de-
mand that the whole law be repealed.
There has been a tendency on the part
of number of bankrupts to withhold
. part of their assets and to favor
certain creditors to the detriment of
others and to get away with stuff
before becoming bankrupt. The new
law provides for Imprisonment up to
five years for fraudulent action such
as concealment of property, making
false oath in relation to proceedings
in bankruptcy, the presenting of false
claims or the receiving of property
from a bankrupt after he has filed
his petition. Three years are allow
ed for indictments after the commits
sion of an offense.
The law makes it compulsory for
any referee in bankruptcy who be-
Iieves on offense has been committed
to refer the matter to the United
States district attorney for investi-
cation. Every district attorney must
inquire into the facts and make his
reports to the grand jury or to the
attorney general.

A MODEST VICTOR

Jean Borotra of France defeated William T. Tilden of the U. s. A., seven years un- disputed tennis champion of the world, few weeks ago. Jean might have been par doned for Dragging bit about such an ac- complishment, but did he?
 He did not. When asked whether he ex poets to beat Tilden in the Davis cup com petition this summer, Borotra said:
 "It is foolish to think so. When defeat ed Tilden the other day he was off his stroke. You can well imagine that such thing will not happen again in the matches next week or in the Davis cup play. I think am due for licking when play 'Tilden again."
 Borotra is declared to be the most popu- lar player among lovers of tennis, which is not hard to understand in view of his un- usual skill and his still more unusual mod esty.

It is too bad there is not some way to train the city dwellers in the rules of the outdoors and the camp fire, just as he must for the safety of life and property learn the traffic and sanitation laws of the city. He should know that it is wrong and intoler- able to throw down the lighted match or cigarette in the forest, just as we'll as he knows he must not throw tin cans and old clothing into the street at home. He should learn the eutiqette of the forest just as he does the drawing-room. The smoker would not throw his match or cigarette stump or empty pipe ashes on his hosts rug or table cover, but, withoutgiving it thought, the same smoker will toss burning match or ashes on the floor of his host-the forest where it threatens property worth millions and even human lives.

HOW CONFIDENCE HELPS

To have confidence in another mans square dealing is good evidence that you practice square dealing yourself. Lack of confidence has kept thousands of good men in the background and they are standing in the rear today, watching their more con- fident and aggressive workers succeed. It you have faith in yourself and in your abl- iity, others will have faith in you. Nothing can stop you if you know how to create the confidence of your fellows.
 If you are an employer you needn't ex- pect complete efficiency in your help If you are unable to establish their confidence in you. You have to prove to them by your personal and business acts, every day, that you are to be trusted. Then you will have a business organization to the proud of, for your employees cannot help being bene- fited by daily contact with man who is four-square in everything he does and says.
 If business man has self-reliance he can inspire everybody about him with self-reli- ance. Confidence is catching, and@a whole some bond is made only when men have confidence in each other, whether as pri- vate individuals or responsible representa- tives of a business. There cannot be two standards. There is such thing, of course as over-confdence, but its real name is bad judgment.
 Nothing is more certain to destroy the good feeling that may be cherished towards you than to show distrust. On the con- trary, confidence leads people naturally to act kindly, fairly, to trust and be trusted.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH AMERICA

While America, birthplace of the air plane is marking time, Germany, character istically, is rushing ahead with the proven good thing, and it is impossible to discover valid reason for such contrast. Indivi dual initiative is doing it in Germany, but America has plenty of that. Maybe, it is because the American initiative is directed so largely at stocks and bonds.
 Last year, Germany had two big airway systems, the Aero-Lloyd and the Junkers These two have been merged, and before summer arrives Germany will have 42 lines furnishing regular service, if the AL lies don't impose restrictions because of the belief that future wars will be decided in the air. Beside a network of lines cover ing her own territory, Germany will have some wonderful trunk lines, Berlin Vienna Budapest, Constantinople-Angora, for in- stance, and it will be possible to hop into machine, in Berlin, at 2 a. m., and have supper in Moscow the evening of the same day.
 What ails America that her air travel continues to be a joke thru the years?
