hcen placed upon tho "honor roll" of
the railroad and will receive pensions

Roofing Tests—True and
Otherwise
It'j George JV. Drown. President,
General Hoo'ina Manufacturing
Company
As you walk down the concrete run
way to catch your train i'l the new
< .rand Central Station in New York,
j ou wonder why one portion of the
run way is pinkish in color, the next
fifteen or twenty feet dull gray, and
the next elcamingw i tli innumerable
sparks of mica or carborundum. The
point is. they're tfftinff various con
crete compounds for wear.
It is exactly the same in buying
rooting— the true proof i<3 on the tvof 4
Roofs do not wear out—they dry out
No test of toughness has any bear
ing on the durability of a roof. The
thing that a roof is up against is the
changing weather conditions, chang
ing temperatures—and time. It does
not have to liear rough usage, but it
does have to contend against witl:-
eringupand drying out. Therefore,
any test for toughness is a faUc test.
A soft asphalt center protected by a
harder asphalt .surface makes the
ideal rooting material. It is not
many roofings devised to v. ithstand
fictitious physical "tests." But it
will not dry out—oll the roof—until
years after the "tesled-l'or tough
ness" roof has out lived its useful
ness and dried up.
.There is 110 tent by which you can
know in advance the service a roof
will give or how long it will last.
There is only one true means of
advance knowledge—and that is the
reputation and guarantee of the
manufacturer. But you must go
further than that even. You must
look beyond ihe manufacturer's
guarantee for what is behind it—
for the responsibility to make good
the guarantee.
W'c could not guarantee Cert a f n-teed
Rooting for fifteen years if it wen
not built upon the proparly blended
soft center asphalt basis with the
harder asphalt protecting surface.
You can buy roofing for
less than the price of
Certain-teed. But at most
your saving is but a few
dollars and it's poor
economy.
Certcmteed
is always reasonable in price—and
15 years' service guaranteed is the
best advance roof-knowledge
there is.

ol' Philadelphia.
; Philadelphians arose to-day to find
jthe city In the grip of one of the worst
tylizzards that has struck this section
in many years. Suburbanites were
obliged to dig through snowbanks that
1 had drifted fence high and traffic on
most of tho surface car lines was at a
| standstill.
' Conditions on the steam roads to
; outlying sections were little better and
thousands of persons were late in
j reaching their places of employment,
I while others did not get to the city
; at all.
j Railroad traffic between this city
: and New York, which was completely
i tied up the greater part of last night,
: was resumed early to-day, but there
was no attempt made to maintain
I schedules. Several of the trains which
, had been "missing" between here and
jUew York last night reached the
; city after daybreak. Paralyzed wire
| service was given as the principal rea
! sons for the delay. The Broadway
Limited, the Pennsylvania's 24-hour
j Chicago train, which left New York
|at 2.45 yesterday afternoon, did not
! arrive here until early to-day. Siml
| lar conditions prevailed on the Balti
j more antl Ohio and Reading Kall
j roads.
Wire Service Crippled
i Telegraph and telephone companies
| sent men out when the storm was at
I its height last night to repair the
| broken wires and other damage, but
! wire communication with New York
was still badly crippled to-day, and it
' was not expected that normal service
could be resumed for several days.
Damage in this city and the sur
rounding country was heavy. Numer
ous plate glass windows were broken
;here( houses were unroofed, telegraph
i and electric light poles were levelled
! and signs were torn from their hang
: ings.
j Shipping on the Delaware river,
j which had been almost completely tied
up since an early hour last night, was
resumed to-day.
At daybreak it was still snowing,
but the velocity of the wind had de
creased. The thermometer hovered
around fifteen degrees above zero.

velopmenta, a change of policy was
intended by the United States imme
diately, the President pointed out that
a country of the size and power of the
United States could afford to wait just
as long as it pleased; that nobody
doubts its power and nobody doubted
that Huerta was eventually to retire;
that there need be no hesitation in
forming the judgment that what the
United States wished to accomplish in
Mexico would be accomplished, but
that those people who were in h iste
to have things done were forgetting
that they would have to do them
themselves; that they would have to
contribute brothers and sons and
sweethearts to do it if they wanted
something done right away. It they
wel-e willing to wait, the President in
dicated, such a step might not be nec
essary.
The President was referring, it was
presumed, to speeches in Congress de
manding radical action of some kind,
of armed intervention, which he
seemed to deplore.

Naval Battle Is Looked
For in Mexican Harbor
By Associated Press
Mexico City, March 2.—The possi

in orders issued yesterday by the War
Department, under which the Federal
gunboats Noreles and Guerrero, lying
at the mouth of the Topelobampo
harbor, must prevent the exit of the
gunboat Tampico, which recently
went over to tho rebels. Topelobampo
is a land-locked harbor, but it is so
extensive that it is impossible that
the Tampico will be shelled unless
she attempts to escape. Should an
engagement between the vessels occur
it will be the first encounter of this
character during the revolution.
