I k - New Roofs From Old Rags Father's Shirts and Mother's Discard ed Dresses, Transformed Into Durable Fire-Desistant Shingles, Now Cover .Most Suburban Homes. When mother, with churacteristi impatience at house cleaning tine drags forth from the clothes elosi lather's long disused or, perhaps, rt i ently discarded fishing togs, or givi the contents of the garret to the ra man, she little realizes perhaps ho much she is contributing in the effos lit overcome the housing shortag Old rags may be a poor shelter f< the human body but American ing' unity has made of them an exeee. Ingly artistic, fire-resistant and se v ieeal.le shelter for the human habit, i t ion. ! From rags to roof is a far cry. B; neverthless old rags are now coverir i more American houses in the form < i oil roofings and prepared shingh than all other types of roofing coi 1 bined. Two-thirds of all roofing r 1 quirements in the United States ai now supplied from asphalt materia known as "prepared roofing", tl product of a novel and typically A me | ican industry that has been develop j within the past few years. The thousands of tons of rags e?.i i limed daily by this industry are i I taincd through dealers in all pa of the country and, upon their arriv i at the factory are sorted and reduc* j to a pulp, similar to that used in t! j manufacture of paper. This pulp i then transformed into a fabric < | felt, of long fibre and great durabi ! it v. Hot asphalt is forced throu J every pore and fibre of the fabr and the combination is then coat* above and below with asphalt so ; to make it proof against decay a leakage. Because asphalt is a si: stance that does not dry out, the r. roofings or the shingles which are c from this fabric do not crack or spli They are residient and pliable and ? not break from their moorings. they contain no materials that fret.: or rust they are also proof again frost. The roll roofings or shingh are covered with a crushed slate < rock surface in attractive colors whii shields them from wear and furtln preserves the fabric against the ra ages of the weather. During mam faeture the crushed slate or rock su face is imbedded in the asphalt : .'irmly as pieces of marble are imbc< ded in a mosaic floor. The singles ai made in different sizes and in thn colors ? red, green and blue-black. II using appropriate colors or differet combinations of colors it is possib for the home builder to get not on I a fire-safe and a serviceable roof In >ne that can be made very artistic a.) | > that will blend nicely with the sui j rounding landscape. i While asnhnlt mav he new ns n rnr covering it is known to have been usy for many centuries as a building mi terial, preservative against decay an water-proofing substance. In fact, is the oldest water-proof adhesiv known to man. When the children < Israel were suffering under the bom age of Egypt about 1500 B. C., Phs roah's daughter found the infar .Moses concealed among the bulruslu 11 a basket made of papyrus grass an daubed with asphalt.

The sacred ehan hers, or tombs, of the dead Egyptia kings, as well as all the crevices i the pyramids were sealed against It centuries by means of asphalt. Th I bones of mastodon, sabre-tooth tigi and other prehistoric mammals n cently have been found perfectly p t ..I ?U / ci it- .. m-i vm in nit' uspnuil ut'tis oI ouuuil'l California. When the prehistoric hunter mad i tent of boat-skins, sewed wit thongs, or built a goat-skin boat, h waterproofed the seams by coatin I] them wtih asphaltic bitumen. Hi: I lory recalls that the Babyloniar rossed the Euphrates river on raft made of inflated goat skins, watei proofed with bitumen just as th Kurds are doing today. The ancier Sumarians. who inhabited the Euphrt tes Valley about 3,000 B. C., used a! ohalt as a cement or binder for at taching small ornaments to scul| tores, carvings or pottery. As a mot tar for brick, asphalt was used in th construction of the Tower of Babe It was Nabopolassar, King of Bab) Ion, who first used asphalt as a mot tar or filler in the construction c paved streets. His son, Nebuchac nezzar, continued the practice an caused to be inscribed in the pavt nient the words "Traverse Thes Streets With .Joy." Asphaltic mn teriais were used in the constructio of the walls and foundations for th ancient city of Media. Thus, it can readily be seen tha the use of asphalt in the manufaetur of roofing, in boat-building and i paving has been handed down t American industry by the ancients This most modern application of as j halt to human needs as a roofing ma terihl, therefore, has come in a fom made (he more necessary by moderi housing conditions.

II. Hofstra, of Grand Rapids, Mich., executive for the areas named. According to Mr. Hofstra, this is a l( very conservative estimate, being j, based on figures obtained some time ( I ack. Brought up to date, the figures would probably be 25 per cent higher, "ecen allowing for the full American effort," he says. Under the feeding program made possible by the American congressional appropriation, an adult receives one Russian funt, or roughly 14 ounces, of raw corn per day. In the two areas named, there were ( 1)48,885 adult "famine subjects" but only 520,000 portions can be issued. ! In addition to adults, the Relief Ad ;, ministration was caring on February , 15 for 105,778 children in this terri.. tory.

I Counterfeiter* in Germany Berlin, April 3.?A band of international counterfeiters with branch offices in almost every European coun- \ try, America and Australia has established headquarters in Berlin, say police and Reiehsbank investigators. Monies of half a dozen countries are being manufactured here. A score el arrests have been made but authorities say the band is still functioning., In addition there have been mand arrests of counterfeiters operating alone making either German or American money, American dollar and $10 notes are favorite productions of the countei feiters. German 59, 100 ami 1,000-mark notes also are widely counterfeited. Confederates of the counterfeiters | usually dispose of the German money counterfeited here in a foreign coun-1 try?France, Holland, Belgium, Swe-] den or Norway. The foreign money made in Germany is marketed here. One of the counterfeiters arrested was the proprietor of a large hotel in ! Amsterdam who posed as a pleasureseeker and lived elegantly in the best hotels. A German counterfeiter of 100mark notes was employed as mechanieian in a big artificial ice-skating rink here. He established his workshop in the attic of the "ice palace," and surrounded it with electric wires so ar- ^ ranged that unexpected entrance aj would cause an explosion in the "mint" and destroy the "evidence." The proprietor of the rink watched him and informed the police who cut the wires, entered and found the ^ mechanician busily printing money.
