When, thirty seven years ago, chemists dis covered the combination of materials that produced a roofing, light in weight, fire resistant, and of 'surpassing durability, they made it up in roll form and named it Ruberoil-and that was Genuine Ruberoid This new roofing material so exactly met existing needs that Ruberoid swept to a re- markable success, not in America only but throughout the whole world That first en- thusiasm for roll Ruberoid soon led to the development of various styles of Ruberoid Shingles, with wide range of coors in at- tractive non-fading slate su1facings
 The success and popularity of Genuine Ruberoid Roofs inevitably brought into being a host of limitations, all of which had the appearance of Ruberoid and often even traded on its name. But one thing imita

The color of the skin Is deter
mined by its pigment cells. These
cells determine the color Of the
hair as well as that Of the skin.
If these cells contain pigment that
gives your skin a naturally white
or pink tone and this color has be-
come darkened by exposure, the
skin can be made lighter by bleach
ing. But when the pigment cells
are such that they produce a
creamy or olive skin coloring, moth
ing except new pigment cells can
change the complexion.
1t is because the pigment cells
not only determine the color Of
the skin but Of the hair as well
that most beauty experts do not
encourage bleaching or dyeing the
hair to a shade that is noticeably
different from the natural one.
Let US take the average woman
with creamy skin and brown hair.
The hair can be bleached or dyed
but the color of the skin cannot
be changed. Let this woman bleach
the natural brown color Of her hair
to one of light blonde. Immediate
~ an artificial appearance results
because the color values set by
Nature are no longer true. Red
hair which in rather fashionable
Just now can never be achieved BY
artificial methods without giving
the same, off-key, artificial appear
ance that over-bleached hair does.
The skin is more obstinate than
the hair and refuses TO change its
natural color by responding TO
bleaching treatments.
II is equally true, however, that
as one grows older the skin shows
a tendency to darken, not through
any chemical reaction Of the pig
ment cells, but from exposure over
a long period Of time, even though
the exposure be mild. In such
cases bleaching treatments are eff
fectual. As soon as the original
or natural tone is gained, however,
the bleaching process stops and
nothing can encourage the skin to
respond farther.
Therefore all that any bleaching
treatment can do is to restore the
natural tone Of the skin. If the
natural tone is light all is well, but
if it is darker then powder and
rouge must be so matched and
blended that the darker skin is
given the loneliness that is possible
BY careful treatment.
