Tapered Asphalt Shingles 
Get Your Free Sample 
We want you to know just what these shingles are 
like. Test them for weight, examine their slate 
surface and see how they are thoroughly impregnated 
against fire. Look along the shingle and see the 
taper. You’ll like that tapered idea. It makes the 
shingles lie flat on the roof. 
The big butt gives you a half a pound of pure, high- 
grade asphalt, all-rag felt and genuine slate in each 
shingle to combat the weather and make your build¬ 
ings fire-safe and beautiful. Samples are free. 
Write now, today, for yours. 
And This Also 
This free book, “ Shelter, the Second 
Instinct of Man,” is a history of roofing 
with a picture of a different kind of roof 
from different parts of the world on every 
page. 
Write today and it will be sent, free, with sample 
shingle.

[ In fact, by criss-crossing, I found I was 
able to locate a line of pipe carrying 
water quite accurately. Fearing that I 
was still fooling myself, I had a friend, 
a college graduate and scientist, put me 
through my paces blindfolded, testing the 
theory or notion in every way possible. 
The fact that it will not work if I wear 
rubber soles led him to think that static 
electricity was the /, planation. When 
people say I am fakffi I let them hold 
one side of the stick, and when it twists 
in spite of all they can do they are not 
so sure. Any kind of stick or wire will 
work, though green sticks are better. I 
have found it very useful in tracing 
partly forgotten locations of water pipes 
and sewers. I have worked blindfolded 
with other “witches.” and we located the 
same spots. It is hard to explain, but it 
surely works. henry' j. edson.

Measuring Balsam Fir 
An Oregon reader asks how the buyers 
of drugs and plants measure and buy bal¬ 
sam fir. One of the large buyer", in this 
city says: 
Tt is customary on the coast to fill this 
balsam into alcohol oak barrels, and their 
contents are 40 gals. This is not an ab¬ 
solute standard, however; the contents 
sometimes run a little less and sometimes 
as much as 50 gals. We always buy this 
balsam fir by the gallon and not by the 
barrel
