COOL HEADS AND QUIET NERVES
Absolute Necessities for workers in
Bridge Building.

In lhiS clustering weather the business
of a bridge builder is one OF the most
hazardous followed by man Those en-
pleyed IN the CONSTRUCTION OF the great
East River Bridge At New York are Just
now having i hard time Of IL The aver
age man who follows the occupation is
not considered workman of eEJraO-dina-

strength. level head. nerve. and a Suf-
ficieut knowledge of mechanics TO lend Il
hand at rigging cerrlclzS or putting mp
temporary structures. Many of the men
who are engaged in the trade We're sail

work on bridges They go up in the
morning Al o. clock and on pleasant
days remain there until their days work
Is done At the noon hour they take their
meal near the boiler or at some sheltered
spot
TO reach place where his services are
required a man must often walk over a
long space on a hastily impTOViSed plank
bridge, and even when he gains the other
side he finds barely more than q foOth0ld.
That's the time. said the brld2emdn.
when man must have his eyes open
and his nerves on tap There's no fooluS

go about their work in a solemn manner
