" " do you think of? Ask any
one you know if ne can
tell what they look like. No matter
what your reply, or his, we bet it won't
describe the new asphalt shingles we
nave been looking at. For they give
an entirely different effect from that
OF any we have hitherto associated
with this type of roofing.
The new shingles are processed 10
nave the texture and deep grain of
wood, visible from the ground, and
are made in soft, wea athered looking
! shades of gray. red and green. The
color variations and shadows which
run across the top of the exposed por-
ton OF these shingles, when they have
been installed on a roof, make them
seem thick and massive, very effective.
That granting is produced not by
depressing the shingle itself, which
might weaken the material. but by
building up the raised parts, which
tends to strengthen the shingle. Extra
strength and weight are added by
means OF granules and coating ap-
Piled over heavy ashphalt shingle On
all surfaces which are exposed to sun,
rain and wind. The granting is ap-
Piled to the sheet by a steel grainlng
roll
The built-up relief does not reach
quite to the edge of the shingle, which
is one reason why that flattering shad-
ow we mentioned appears to be so
heavy. It's a softer line than the
straight edge
Asphalt shingles, of course, are in
expensive and flre-resistant, and wear
well. The shingles come IL by SO
inches and are shipped in heavy fiber
cartons weighing about 260 pounds a
square. A square is 100 square feet.

roofing
Have look at these new shingles
before you do over your roof.
nNE of the minor mysteries of life

NORTHERN PACIFIC
WINS LAND VERDICT

ed the Northern Pacific Railroad L.
100000 acres of Government land to-
day through his decision that all nom
mineral lands must be agricultural
lands under terms of the Northern
Pacifit grants of the last century.
Judge Webster upheld the recon-
mendation of Special Master Frank
Graves. whose report is before the
court for argument on exceptions by
both the railroads and the Govern
ment.
The Government had objected to
Graves recommendation the railroads
be allowed to patent 100000 acres of
mountain land to replace mineral
lands withdrawn from the grant. The
ruling today was for the road.
The railroad already owns 800, 900
acres in the area, and seeks to have
its own land classified as indemnity.
It would then claim an additional
100000 acres in areas set aside for
other than mineral land indemnities.
The Government argues the court
has no jurisdiction over the "substitu-
ton of base,' asserting the matter
is up to the Secretary of Interior.

Taking sharp issue with President
Roosevelt on the question Of relief and
unemployment, Charles P. Taft of
Cincinnati. chairman of the Com
munity Mobilization for Human Needs,
today charged that the Presidents
speech at the White House this morn
ing was ''in conflict" with the very
ideals and purposes for which the Or
ganized private welfare forces of the
Nation have convened here for two
days in special conference.
Mr. Taft spoke at a luncheon at
the Mayf1ower Hotel following the
opening session of the conference at
the White House this morning, where
the President delivered the speech pro-
voking dissatisfaction among the con-
ference members.
The President had declared that the
national economy" does not permit
the Federal Government to give use
full work to all the employable needy
unemployed" He had praised the ef-
forts of private welfare workers.
After hearing the President, Mr..
Taft, who already had laid his organi-
zations program before committee of
Congress, revised entirely part of his
prepared luncheon speech in order to
disagree sharply with the Chief Execu-
tive
He emphasized that it was not a
political" difference, because many
members of the conference were po-
litical supporters of the President.

Senator Joseph F. Guffey split with
Pennsylvania's Democratic State Com
mittee today to support c. 1. O.'s
Thomas P. Kennedy for the guberna-
torial nomination.
In Pennsylvania the Democratic
party cannot win without labor and
labor cannot win without the Demo-
cratic party" Senator Guffey said in
announcing his support for one of
John L. Lewis right-hand men.
The formal statement by the Sena-
tor who has been Pennsylvania S
Democratic leader for years, touched
on excited speculation in the politically
minded Capital. This centered chiefly
on Mr.. Lewis growing political i'm
portance and potential power in the
1910 party conventions and elections.
Pennsylvania is second only to New
York in the number of delegates it
sends to the Democratic National Con-
vention.
Senator Guffey has been a leading
supporter of President Roosevelt and
his policies

United Mine Workers of America.
Lawrence Supports Jones.
David Lawrence. secretary of the
Commonwealth and for many years
Senator Guffey's partner IN Pennsyl-
vania politics, has announced his sup
port for Charles A. Jones, Pittsburgh
lawyer.
Aligned with Lawrence are the
State Committee, Gov. George H.
Earle, a candidate for the United
States Senate, and Matthew McClos-
key, Philadelphia leader.
State Attorney General Charles
Margiotti is third candidate for the
Democratic nomination for the Gov
ernor's chair, and former Mayor Will

According to the rules of the game
as I know them.' Guffey said,
Thomas Kennedy is much more en-
titled to the Democratic nomination
for the governorship than is Mr..
Jones'"

The House today killed an attempt
to put back in the tax revision bill an
administration proposal for a special
surtax on family-owned and closely
held corporations
Speaker Bankhead announced the
roll call vote was 233 to 153
The action paved the way for vote
on final passage of the revenue meas
ure.
Republican and rebelling Democrats
refused for a second and final time to
include the lib" surtax on closely
held companies in the bill
They have contended it would sub
ject legitimate business enterprises to
a punitive tax in an attempt to reach
a few firms that might be used for
tax avoidance purposes.
Means of Attaining Equity.
Backers of the surtax said it was a
means Of attaining equity in taxation
and wiping out some of the tax ad-
vantages which they said closely held
firms have had over those with wide
stock ownership
The tax would have affected all
corporations with net incomes in
excess of $4,000 whose stock was
owned by members of family or q
group of no more than 10 associates.
These companies would have paid
normal corporate taxes of Is to 20 per
cent. From remaining income they
would have deducted amounts paid out
in dividends and then whichever of
these was the largest: 100000. 80 per
cent of the adjusted income. or irrev-
ocably earmarked, or the amount used
to pay debts incurred prior to January
l, 1888
The balance would have been sub
jected to the 20 per cent lib" tax.
The House had agreed tentatively,
by a 180-to-124 vote on Wednesday, to
strike the "1B" tax from the bill.
Today's ballot merely ratified that
decision.

and unemployment
He said to us this morning that he
continues to support the division of the
load between those who are able
bodied needy and out of job and
those who are unemployable
THE Federal Government has
chosen to confine itself to the normal
victims of the maladjusted economy
for whom it will create work The
States and local governments are to
carry the unemployable without Fed
eral aid except in limited degree for
the old, the young and the blind"
Our program, on the other hand"
he declared, calls for an integrated
plan with local administration and
Federal supervision and standards.
The two ideas just don't mix.
I'VE don't like to disclose the ex-
istence of a conflict, especially after
enjoying such gracious hospitality and
such kindly words for the work our
agencies do at home. As a group We
are not political opponents of the
President. Many of our leaders have
been stanch supporters politically. AS
I pointed out this morning, the social
workers and board members and cam
paign forces are not economic royal
lists. We are living close to this relief
problem at home, closer in many re-
spects than Washington. We model
our program from life, not from the
ory. We have to learn from expert
ence or our agencies cannot survive"
Mr.. Taft charged that the inequities
of w. P. A. and relief, part national
