Some of the lectures in the Red Cross course
will be given by eminent surgeons and medical

full instruction as to the best manner in which

MORE FLAGPoLES THAN EVER.
Growing Disposition Among the Pee
ple to Show Their Colors.

ple to Show Their COlOrss
"Flagpoles," said man who makes
them, "are the pick Of the forest whence
they come. Up to go feet in length, and
this would include the great majority,
they are commonly Of spruce; hagpoles
more than 60 feet long are Of pine.
THE spruce poles come from New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The pine
poles come from northern New York and
Michigan.
"Up to so feet in length and 80 foot
staff would be counted a good, big statt.
Flagpoles cost, all set up, truck on the
top and halyards rove, ready to bend on
the flag, from 81 to $1.25 a foot. The
cost depends somewhat on the pole and
somewhat on the situation, the latter
question involving the difficulties attend
ing setting the pole up. Longer poles
cost proportionately more. A 70 foot
pole might cost, set up ready for use,
$3.50. Flagpoles for buildings are some.
times made up to so feet in length, but
not often.
"a 80 foot pole Of the usual proper
tions, which would be 10 inches IN d.
ameter at the butt and inches at the
top, would weigh about $50 pounds. A
rs foot pole would weigh about 1,5Oo
pounds, so that when you put up pole
of that size you would be standing upon
one end a weight Of three-quarters of
ton.
"Of course the fagpole must be secure
" set up. There are two ways OF mount
Ing fagpole. One is to step 1t, running
the lower end Of the pole through the
roof as you would run mast through the
deck of boat. The other way is to set
the butt Of the pole In a shoe placed on
the roof. The very tallest poles are al
ways stepped through the roof.
"a good fagpole, properly put up and
properly cared for, is long lived. It might
wear as long as the building on which 1t
was placed. A fagpole really ought to be
painted every year. Flagpole painting is
done by the riggers employed by tagpole
makers, by steeple climbers, by men who
make business Of 1t, who 60 about seek
Ing 1agpoles to paint. To have flag
pole carefully and properly painted costs,
according to the size Of the pole, 50 to
$40.
"Flagpoles are made nowadays rather
longer, if anything, than formerly. Their
greater length Is to make them more
nearly propordonate to the higher build
ings.
"There are now sold more fagstaffs
than ever before in proportion to the pop
ulation. The law requiring the flying OF
the flag from schoolhouses has increased
the actual number of poles, and the pres
ence Of those poles and the flying Of the
fep from them has prompted the raising
of other poles. I think also that people
are more likely now to put up hagpoles
than they formerly were; anyway, that
they have more disposition now than ever
to show their colors"-New York Sun.

ELEVATORS SAVING DAYS WORK.
Figures Of an Old Man Who Once
Climbed Weary Stairs.

Climbed Weary Stairs.
Recently an old man stood in the cor
ridor of big Office building, with watch
in hand, making figures from time to
time on the back of an envelope. There
were many who wondered what he was
doing.
he was computing how much time the
modern elevators In our high buildings
save to men in a day, and to one who
spoke to him he told how for years,
away back in the sixties, he had worked
in the sixth story Of a building which
was then one Of the highest In the city
or the country either, for that matter;
how, though young and spry then, he
had dreaded that climb up six sheer stair
fights; how the men ia the place would
draw lots to see who at luncheon time
should make the journey to the street to
buy cakes and pie for the monday meal,
and how he had at times gone without
his luncheon rather than use up so much
strength in climbing the stairs. 1t took
a minute and half then for young
man to 20 up, he said, but tho manager
Of the factory, who was more than 90
years old and somewhat rheumatic, al;
ways spent four minutes in the upward
struggle.
II was just figuring on the time saved
by this modern appliance" the old man
continued, land I calculate that it Is at
least four minutes for every young man
who goes to the twenty-ffth floor and ten
minutes for your elderly gentlemen
These express elevators, stopping only
above the thirteenth floor, average 45
seconds in reaching the top. OF course
we wouldn't have 20 or 80 story struc-
lures IL the modern elevator manufac-
turers had not kept pace with the archi-
tects and builders, but I am arguing from
the other side" And he showed an ar
ray of figures to prove that in a days
average business, in which $500 passen-
gers are carried, two whole working
days are gained. His young friend did
not dispute him.
1t is in New York. of course, with Its
score of buildings that are IA stories
high and over, that the elevator has
reached its greatest development. In the
matter of speed the makers have We'd
with one another until 800 feet a minute

PEELED. This means to the twentieth
floor Of building in 80 seconds, veloci-
ty that is gained by multiplication Of
