Building by Air.

The highest church spire in st. Louis is
being built in a novel way. Its pinnacle
will soar 2i6 feet above the ground. Il is
the first grille work spire in America,
the entire steeple being constructed Of
stone lattice, giving free play 10 heavy
winds. Engineering applications in the
construction Of this spire are novel. as
every piece OF stone used in the steepIe
has been cut at the base OF the tower by
tools run by compressed air, and the
same agency has hOisted the stones 10
the several stagings OF the work. Pneu-
matte tubing is carried up the derrick 10
the successive stages. Stones weighing
fifty pounds have been shot through
these tubes 10 the workmen above and
held In place by the air until removed
from the tubes. The whole spire will be
crowned by a steel cap, seventeen feet
high. and several steeplejacks will be re-
quired to fasten II in place.

What they should, can or do long in

work is elevating and progressive.
This need not be all serious. There

life and entertainment.
There is no place in woman's club
work for frivolities. Clubs that live
and grow and last, must do things
They must accomplish results that
deal with public and private condi-
tons which need pruning or nourish-
ing. They must better conditions
socially, morally and materially.
A community with woman's club

servative manner is fortunate. 1t
