SHINGLES MAY
BE COLORED BY
new PROCESS

There are many meanings for the
word "rooftree", aside from the
truly scientific. Some like to think
of its being the shelter between
them and the world; the true mean
ing of the word home.
Scientists, however, have found
an entirely new definition for the
word in the western cedar which
grows along the Pacific coast, and
is classed as one of the commercial
lv important west coast woods. 1t
is truly roof-trce, for from this
beautiful evergreen tree is made
millions of shingles each year to
cover beautiful happy hom c S
throughout the entire world.
Because of the extreme weather
conditions to which the roof is sub
jccted, expert chemists have worked
for years to perfect a paint or
stain that would Withstand the rig
ors of the winter SHOWS and the
burning rays of the summer sun.
Now the process has at last been
found, aud it is possible to buy
your shingles all stained by this
new process ready to apply on your
roof.
Only natures own mineral colors
are used, laboratory-tested and
scientifically mixed in accordance
with secret stain formulas. This is
the first step in securing perman-
anee of color that is unequalled.
The second is:
After saturating and brushing the
shingles, the linseed oil content of
the stain is oxidized by process
of thermometer-cont treat
ment by heated air. This produces
filmy finish causing positive fix
alton of adhesion of the color pig
ment of the wood.
They may be had in many de-
lightful colors, so that it is possible
to have a roof as exquisitelv col
orcd as a gorgeous tapestry, as
green as the lawn at your door, or
as white as the driven snow.

Saturday the West Ends had but eight players. The Pirates claimed the game by forfeit but were willing to give the West Ends another play CT and play game for the satisfac- tion of the fans present.
 The West Ends. with no regard for the rule, absolutely refused to play the game unless they were given an- other player, the forfeit thrown out. and the game counted as a regular league match.
 Charlie Miller, shoEng his usual good sportsmanship, agreed to the West Ends demands. The veteran coach believed in winning game on the field and not by forfeit
 This sportsmanship is alright but nevertheless, d league rule was be- ing broken. At last nights meeting. managers urged that in case only eight players are present that an- other players be picked up and the game played under all circum- stances, whether or not the manager with the full team claims a forfeit.
 Manager Ken Saunders of the Pirates told the other team manage s that the public must be giver a 4alr show and less attention paid to pet ty arguments. Too many teams look out for themselves without regard to the public. It is the money of the taxpayers that makes the league possible.
 Secretary Stanley Budnick also urged the managers to confer to the rules more closely. He acted in place of President Frank Anastasio, who is patient at the New Britain Gen eral hospital.
