Older methods of reroofing

old roofing, but the new method of
using the old roof as a base for the
new material has gained popular
ity.
Experience has shown carpenters
and roofers that there are decided
advantages to be gained by putting
a permanent roof of fireproof ma
terial over the old wooden shingles.
Perhaps the most important among
these advantages is the utilization
of the insulation which the old roof
ing provides.
The house owner who has in

shingles over the old wooden
shingles finds that his house is much
cooler in summer and in the winter
he buys less fuel. This is because
wood is one of the best of the COM

One of the most attractive apart
ment houses being completed Is the
new College Manor, at the south
west corner Of Fifteenth st. and
College Ave. 1t is beautiful struc-
ture of interesting architectural de-
sign, embodyirg some of the most
advanced and modern apartment
house features.
The apartment was designed by
H. K. Fatout, architect and builder,
312 N. New Jersey ST., who has de-
signed number of other apartment
houses and buildings. His expert
ence in handling the architectural
features of such buildings is the re-
suit of careful study of the trend of
building activities.
College Manor is a two-story
structure of brick, dark red-brown
tone, trimmed in stone. Straub
cinder blocks were used in the ma
sonry walls throughout, providing a
high-grade. damp-proof, sound
proof, firesafe, well-insulated build
ing, easily heated and YER tilated.
The wood trim of the outside is
painted in green and white.
The roof is of pretty Spanish
green tile, and the general Spanish
design, modified somewhat by the
dignified doorways, is pleasing and
colorful. Attractive terraced en-
trance walks, broad and well-laid,
add grace to the building. The hall
ways are roomy and well-lighted
throughout. In fact, Fatout care
fully has planned all lighting fea-
lures to make the apartments CHEEKY
and comfortable throughout the
year.
Two and three-room apartments
are arranged in the building. Twen-
ty apartments are included in it.
The three-room apartments include
a kitchenette and dinette, living
room, and bedroom and bath, and
all have plenty of closet space.
Coiled-spring in-a-door beds are
installed in the bedrooms.
The kitchenettes and dinettes are
finished in French gray enamel
The dinettes are furnished with
gate-leg tables and Spanish red
leather-seated chairs, making them
especially cheerful and attractive.
The kitchenettes are furnished with
kitchen cabinets, gas ranges, Frigi-
daires and convenient sinks and
drainboards.
The bedrooms are in cream
enamel throughout, well ventilated
and lighted. All bathrooms have
