Osborne Wood Is Named
Head of National Guard
in New Mexico.

Santa Fe, N. M.-The appoint
ment of Osborne G. Wood, son of
the late Gen. Leonard Wood, as
head of the New Mexico National
Guard puts a dramatic capstone on
one of the most remarkable come
backs" that the West has known.
New MeXicans are freely predict
ing that this young man, who came
into the state with an apparently
shattered career behind, may go
even further in the public life of
the state.
Woods appointment as adjutant
general of the New Mexican guard
was the first made by Gov. Arthur
Selidgman, Democratic winner at
the November election, after his
induction into the governorship.
Wins His Appointment.
Neither push nor pull won this
appointment. 1t followed recogni-
ton by Republican Gov. r. G. Dill
Ion. who had appointed young
Wood. aged thirty-three, first a
captain in the guard and then as
sistant adjutant general. Further
more, the appointment as head of
the New Mexican militia came at
the almost unanimous request of
the officers of the National Guard
of this state. To be exact, just 80
per cent of these officers asked
Governor Selidgman to give Wood
the honor.
Fresh from a hectic and spectac-
ular career in Wall street and with
the label of prodigal son attached
to his luggage, Osborne Wood came
to New Mexico in September, 1927,
more or less injured in health and
reputation, not to mention finances.
He was fiat broke and suffering
from the blues. He got job as
a mucker or pick-and-shovel man
at the Pecos mines near Santa Fe
and for a solid year plugged away
at gruelling labor eight hours
day 600 feet under the ground un-
til he emerged brevet hard-rock
miner of the first class.
Then young Wood got indignant
as the result of the death of boy
in a mine accident, took up the
cudgel for better mine protection
legislation and severed his cOnnec-
ton with the mining company.
Just how amicably he left may be
judged from a telegram from the
mine manager after he reached
Santa Fe which read: Come and
get your clothes and things or we
will throw them over the Dump"
Works as Blacksmith.
Wood then took a job as black
smith with a coal mining company
at Hagan. just south of Santa Fe,
and continued his recuperative ac'

SLANT ROOF AND
SAVE ON REPAIRS
Too Little Pitch Is Cause of
Much Trouble.

Gentle slopes may be all right in
the corn field, but they are certain
ly out of place on the roof of the
poultry house, according to Fl. p.
Twitchell, extension specialist in ag-
ricultural engineering at the Ohio
State university.
One reason, he says, why the roof
of the poultry house requires mend
ing or replacing quicker than any
other type of farm building is that
they are usually fiat, often having
a pitch of but one inch to the foot.
Such gentle slopes eliminate the
use of such roofing materials as
slate, shingles and ordinary metal
rOOfings which are not suited to
small pitches. AS a result, com.
position roll roofing has been about
the only material used. This type
of roof is satisfactory for only one
or two seasons.
The best method of repairing an
old composition roof is to convert
it into a built-up roof, Twitchell
points out. This roof, which con-
sists of several layers or thick
nesses of roofing paper cemented
down with hot roofing asphalt,
often lasts for more than Is years.
The cost of converting an old COM
position roof into a built-up roof
is less than that of laying a new
roof. In laying the new roof,
Twitchell says, it is good idea
to first go over the old roof and be
sure that it is perfectly smooth;
old nails should be driven in, metal
strips removed, and wrinkles lev
eled out.
After the old roof has been gone
over and made fast to the roofing
boards, tar paper or roofing felt
Is laid. In laying the roofing felt,
hot asphalt is mopped on a small
area at a lower end of the roof
where it is desired to start the roll.
Then the roll of felt is placed in
position on the freshly applied as
phalt before it has time to harden.
More asphalt is mOpped on the
surface and the felt unrolled as
quickly as the asphalt is applied.
Only a ribbon of asphalt as wide
as the roll is spread over the roof
surface. Each strip is laid half
way over the preceding strip and
the whole covered with a finishing
coat of hot asphalt.
