Permanence of Roof
Depends on Rafters

The permanence OF a roof depends
as much upon the structure that
holds the roof up az it does on the
quality of the surface that composes
the roof, being constantly exposed
to the elements.
The ideal roof frame consists of
ks rafters. spaced is inches apart
and not spanning a distance greater
than 10 feet. It is also much safer
IL the rafters are not set at an
angle greater than As degrees.
If these qualifications are met the
roof will be strong enough to sup
port heavy roofing such as tile and
slate.

Is FOUR YEARS AT COLLEGE
GOOD INVESTMENT FOR BOYS?

What do colleges give that cannot
be obtained without colleges? Only
college life" and it is very ques-
tionable whether that is worth four
years of retirement from gainful or
creative employment. Hard-headed
men are beginning to say that it is
not.
Wells may prove to be right. The
general culture" college may pass
away in time, though go out of every
10000 of our population are attend
ing such schools now. Culture is
now obtainable in a hundred ways
not known to the OriginatOrs of COLI
leges. We not only have it all in
reasonably-priced books, but we
have all the books in free circulat-
ing libraries. We have night schools,
lectures, newspapers, magazines, the
and the radio. No man
gets his education in four years. No
man with an active mind stops ac-
quiring an education and culture. 1t
is lifelong process.
If all the colleges in the world
should be obliterated today and
their teachers and faculties scatter
ed there would be little if any di-
ninution of education and culture in
The world. And it could all be pass
ed on to future generations without
colleges. A boy who has finished
good high school has all the neces-
'ary school equipment with which
% carry on his education to any
height he may be able to reach.
The "self-educated" man usually |
lnows far more than the college
graduate, and he is far more likely
o keep on learning.
Let no poor boy greatly grieve if
lie is unable to go to one of these
cultural" colleges. The worlds |
,reatest statesmen, philosophers,
writer's, discoverers, warriors, law
,ivers, religious leaders, artists and
were not "college-bred"

WATER GOOD WITH MEALS

DR.. A. F. Ivy, University of Chi

sight, smell and taste of food. If a
person sees unappetizing food or if
he is in a nervous or excited state
his recretive apparatus does not
