Of asphalt shingle was observed
that is covered with crushed slate
so firmly embedded in it that it
was impossible to Scuff it off. An
extra double layer was used to in
crease its life.
They were heavy and protected
from blowing up and bullying in
wind and rain. They gave re-
SiStance 10 fire but, best of all,
come in warm, cheerful colorS.
Some were ideal for stucco con-
struction. Others were two-tone
and had a variegated effect. The
method of laying them is i'm

Copper is used now for certain
homes. It weatherS to q gorgeous

Asbestos is popular and the
newest thing are Cape Cod
shingles of asbestos that look
like the genuine thing after years
of weathering. They show all
the grain of the wood. They
last as long as the house and
you can get them with irregular
bottoms that give the impression
of hand-laid work or with a
wavy edge that is more sophisti-
Gated.
The shingles come with nail
holes in them but the ones I saw
were so we'll constructed that
driving nails through them
would neither split nor crack

More Structural Glass Used in Homes

} In the kitchen, the structural
glass is used to advantage on
painted walls. The lovely shades
Of the glass reflect the cleanli.
ness and beauty of the kitchen.
The mirror surface in impervious
to SCOT and grease.
While the use of glass is
adapted to use in the modern
style of architecture, it has a
place in homes that have reached
the stage when remodeling is
necessary in order to bring the
rooms up to date. This is espe-
cially true in the bath.
Wise use of this material can
be made to transform the out
NODDED style into a scintillating
room of the modern mood.
The Washington times., 1936-07-11

Structural glass is being used
more and more in the bath and
kitchen to provide color and
sparkle to these rooms. The ma
terial is proving very practical,
Not only is it ornamental and
beautiful, but time has no effect
upon it.
It does not stain, craze, absorb
odors or deteriorte in any way,
1t is kept spotlessly clean by
merely wiping it down with a damp
cloth occasionally.
In the bath many fascinating
color schemes have been devel'
oped. Since there is not wide eX'
panse of wall space, the color may
be q little more concentrated.
Coral and black may be used with

striking effect. Lemon and bright
blue are contrasting hueS that
seem to bring out the best in each
other.
In Washington, ebony and
crystal are the vogue. One bath
used ebony against a chartreuSe
background with accents of crys-
tai. The effect was original and
most pleasing.
The ways in which the glass can
be used in the bath vary. In some
cases mirrowed half walls are
best, in other cases a mirrored cell
ing is most advantageous.
Designs may also be sand-blaSt-
ed or painted on the glass. A panel
of this type with q marine view
is perfect above the built-in re-
ceSSed tubs.

Leaving washington oy way O1
Route 240, the traveller makes his
way through fertile agricultural
territory to Frederick. Here the
history lover will want to pause for
a visit to the Barbara Fritch1e
House and to the home OF Chief
Justice fancy, who handed down
the famous bred Scott decision.
Route 40 is followed over the
Blue Ridge across the Appalachian

HagerstoWn. Then over Route II
to Greencastle, where left turn is

Returning to Greencastle, the
traveller drives over Route 16 to
Emmitsburg and goes on TO Gettys-

A good side trip is offered by
turning off to Route 81 at Monter'

motorist to Blue Ridge Summit,
1,4OO feet above sea level and a

If it is your dream house that
you have planned through years
of depression, you will realize that
the best is none too good. Roof
ing to last q lifetime-and they
really have it in abundance.
If it is your summer cottage or
q temporary home, or the garage
you will find roofing to last only
the life Of the building.
It does pay to take these points
in consideration. Reroofing is
expensive.
Must Be Decided
A talk with your architect and
your dealer will be Illuminating.
In the first you will find that the
angle at which the roof slopes
has something to do with the
type chosen.
Never use wood, slate, or asphalt
shingles on a roof with less pitch
than a rise of one inch in a
horizontal run of four inches.
Wood shingles must have drainage
If the pitch is less than one
to three, the rafters should be
covered with inch boards and
sheet metal before the shingles are
laid. Questions on this must be
decided.
The style of architecture must
be considered. The roof, when all
is said and done, is the crowning
glory of your new home. And
many styles are to be had. One
or two express individuality.
Their choice varies with the house.
New Single
There are glazed, brilliantly
colored ones that give the house
a sleek, indeStructible appearance
rough surfs ced roofs with texture
in dull deep colors, and then mel
low wood shingles that improve
in appearance with time. Among
the kinds of material are asbestos,
roofing tiles, slate, sheet metal,
asphalt shingles, wood shingles
and copper.

the best OF whatever is your choice
