The roof is still there — and hasn’t cost ten cents for upkeep or repairs in almost a century Still, it is an Infant among copper roofs. There are at least parts of a copper roof on Hildesheim Cathedral, Ger many, that date back to 1320. St Janie’s Palace, London, has a copper roof in an excellent state of preservation although it is more than 400 years old. Other copper roofs centuries old are known. When you roof with copper you get durability, plus. But you also get other advantages. A copper roof is water tight. Are proof and relatively light In weight. It weathers to a beautiful green that grows in attractiveness with in creasing age. It is easily installed and most economical over the years. It has a high salvage value if a building is razed. And it Is now available at a first cost that makes It practicable for even the small home. and easier path to the ground than the air offers. But the house with out lightning protection does not offer so easy a path that it Is not likely to be set afire or badly dam aged by the bolt. The thing to do, then, is to equip the house with such an easy, comfortable path for the lightning, if it strikes the house, that it will travel to the ground by way of that path and let the rest of the house alone. That Is the function of the light ning rod. It is not necessary, how ever. that the lightning rod should be the ugly, conspicuous thing that it used to be. It is possible now to obtain lightning protection that is concealed within the walls or framework of the house and yet Is rated sound and efficient by the Fire Underwriters. Even the highest parts along th e . roof and about the chimneys are concealed so that the looks of the house are in no wise marred. Certified lightning protection not only yields the house owner peace of mind but It also entitles him. In most states, to lower fire Insur ance rates. So it is an Investment that the house owner should care Indeed, such homes may now fully consider. • • 0 be roofed with copper at a cost Security For Screen* one-third less than the former cost.

This economy copper roofing, preferably Installed with 16-ounce copper for flashings, gutters and downspouts, will give the small home permanent roof protection. Why not roof with copper, and root once? s e e Better Than Feather Beds It doesn't do any good to be jittery about lightning. On the other hand, a wholesome respect for lightning Is a good thing. It de stroys a good many million dollars worth of property In this country every year and kills some 600 people. It follows that the protec tion of the home against lightning Is a sensible precaution. Lightning strikes a building be- They ought to be stored in a dry place.
