By tie Avsociatad Pres: ROME, July 16.—Amid scenes Tarely enacted in any chamber, Pre- mier Mussolini last night won a vote of confidence from the chamber of deputies with a margin of 163 votes on his electoral reform bill. Before the vote was taken he har- angucd the deputles in his accus- tomed style. His flery address was punctuated with outbursts of ap- vlause both from the benches and the galleries.

You Know We Must Know When it comes to roofing troubles — and how to overcome them, you know from the record of our work here in Washingtort that we must know our busi- ness. The roofs of some of the most important buildings here—private and public—are under our care — and they furnish the best possible recommendation of our ability to keep them in first-class condition. A red flannel patch on a black coat may cover the hole—but it doesn’t repair the gar- ment. Nor does mere indiscriminate patching restore a roof to normal efficiency., - It takes judgment and skill—and we put both into our work. " Summons us the roof goes bad. Phone.
