Frank Dalton to Elmos Ray- Advice Given On Spring Roof Repairs When repairing composition roofs, good use may be made of a liquid asbestos roof coating. First, the roof should be checked over for nails that have become loosened or pulled up by the hot sun or frost. These should be driven back into place thor oughly. After the surface is brushed clean, all breaks in the old roofing as well as loose seams, cracks and apertures around nails whose heads are rusted off should be filled with the roof coating. The coating should be spread for two or three inches beyond the break itself. A strip of mus lin, large enough to cover, is then pressed down firmly into the coating so that no tag ends show. Over this is poured enough coating to thoroughly cover the fabric and an additional inch beyond the edges. The coating should also be applied around flashings after they have been nailed down fast to prevent leaks. The same type of treat ment may be applied to badly rusted gutters. mond Passwaters etux $10 Lt 10 Bk 5 Sunny Lea. Transfers for April 9 DEEDS: Paul Hadley etux to Preston W.

Size ind Style Now Equal to have a far-reaching effect on to have a raf-reaching efect on America's carpeting habits. For years now size has been almost an after-thought when buying a new rug, secondary to the chief requisites of style and pattern. But now size is accorded equal footing with those other important .con siderations. Manufacturers are turning out "Tailor-Made" rugs, made in a wide enough range of sizes to fit and fit correctly any room, regardless of dimensions. This new turn has the solid back ing of decorative experts. One of their most ironclad decrees is "Good decoration starts with a rug that fits." All of them agree that a right size rug will make a rom larger, better balanved, more homelike. ' Allow 6 to 12 Inches As an authority recently put it, "A too-small rug is like a too small suit. Both detract immeas ureably from the appearance of the wearer, in one case a room, in the other a man. No room can pos sibly hope to be smartly turned out, to achieve that desirable dec orative 'tone' or atmosphere, un less it has a correct fitting rug on the floor."
