NEW ROOFS FROM OLD RAGS.
When mother, with characteristic impatience at house clean
ing time, drags forth from the clothes closet father's long disused,
Tor perhaps, recently discarded fishing togs, or gives the contents
of the garret to the rag man, she little realizes perhaps how much
she is contributing in the edort to overcome the housing shortage.
Old rags may be a poor shelter for the human body but American
ingenuity has mack' of them an exceedingly artistic, fire-resistant
and serviceable shelter for the human habitation.
From rags to roof is a far cry. But nevertheless old rags are
now covering more American houses in the form of roll roofings
and prepared shingles than all other types of roofing combined.
Two-thirds of nil roofing requirements in the United States are
now supplied from asphalt materials known as "prepared roof
ing," the product of a novel and typically American industry that
has been developed within the past few years.
The thousands of tons of rags consumed daily by this indus
try are obtained through dealers in all parts of the country and,
upon their arrival at the factory are sorted and reduced to a pulp,
similar to that used in the manufacture of paper. This pulp is
then transformed into a fabric or felt, of long fibre and great
durability. Hot asphalt is forced through every pore and fibre of
the fabric and the combination is then coated above and below
with asphalt so as to make it proof against decay and leakage.
Because asphalt is a substance that docs not dry out, the roll roof
ings or the shingles which are cut from this fabric do not crack
or split. They are resilient and pliable and do not break from
their moorings.
While asphalt may be new as a roof covering it is known to
have been used for many centuries as a building material, preser
vative against decay and water-proofing substance. In fact it is
the oldest water-proof adhesive known to man. ' When the child
ren of Israel were suffering under the bondage of Egypt about;
1500 B. C, Pharaoh's daughter found the infant Moses concealed
among the bulrushes in a basket made of papyrus grass and
daubed with asphalt. Noah's Ark, a boat that was 500 feet long
and that was made of gopher wood, was calked with asphalt be
fore Noah filled it with his animals and rode out the flood. The
ancient Egyptians mummified their dead by wrapping the bodies
in cloth and then coating the cloth with asphaltic pitch. The
sacred chambers, or tombs, flf the dead Egyptian kings, as well
as all the crevices in the pyramids were sealed against the cen
turies by means of asphalt. The bones of mastodon, sabre-tooth
tiger and other prehistoric mammals recently have been found
perfectly preserved in the asphalt beds of Southern California.
When the prehistoric hunter made a tent of goat-skins, sewed
with thongs, or built a goat-skin boat, he waterproofed the seams
by eating them with ahphaltic bitumen. History recalls that the
Babylonians crossed the Euphrates river on rafts made of in
flated goat-skins, water-proofed with bitumen just as the Kurds
are doing today. The ancient Sumarians, who inhabited the Eu
phrates valley about 3000 B. C, used asphalt as a cement or binder
for attaching small ornaments to sculptures, carvings 6r pottery.
As a mortar for brick, asphalt was used in the construction of the
Tower of liabel. It was Nalxpolassar, King of Babylon, who
first used asphalt as a mortar or filler ia the construction of paved
streets. His son, Nebuchadnezzar, continued the practice and
caused to be inscribed in the pavement the words "Traverse These
Streets With Joy." Asphaltic materials were used in the con
struction of the walls and foundations for the ancient city of
Media. . .v " y
Thus, it can readily be seen that the use of asphalt in the
manufacture of roofing, in boat-building and in paving has been lmv-
Handed down to American industry by the ancients. This most
modern application of asphalt to human needs as a rooting ma
terial, therefore, has come in a form made the more necessary by
modern housing conditions.
