and waiting. And in the whirling

actual and visible. The lightning was
its spear. the cloud its drapery. Its
horses hcofs struck fire and clattered
on the rocks. and horse and rider
shrilled at me with the high. Wild cry
of battle!
That is the idea I have tried to
give. Not Just a bronze Valkyrie.

elemental strife!"
The first rough draft OF the Valkyrie
was made in 1872 in Berlin. Later
he worked in Rome. then in Berlin

where other men are working"
II required forty years of thought,
experiment and planning before the
sketch was completed and was cast
/ In bronze. The work. even to the un
trained mind or eye, suggests the
spirit OF the storm. All the weight
of the horse seems thrust into the
shoulders. The wind whips the hail
of the female fgure-the Valkyrie-
and the drapery swirls after her II
her mad dash. The spear is poised
for the forward thrust. The whole
picture is one OF strength and of az

"STOP THAT RACKETw

BY The hh'AfGR hhtAiIGR

With the idea of opening up Inslee
street to state street Mayor Bollsch-
weller plans an inspection trip either
today or tomorrow, complaint having
been made that the school children
in getting from the vicinity of Inslee
street to Maurer to school NO. must
cross over a large space OF unim-
proved ground which presents them
at school all covered with mud which
ruins their shoes, stockings and gar
ments.
The vicinity in which the school
children live is now built up consid-
erably. THis includes Inslee street.
which is an off-shoot from the Wood
bridge road at Maurer towards State
street. To get to school No. 1t is
necessary for the children to cross
over large territory of unimproved
land which on warm days is like
bed of mud. In addition to this the
children must cross over the Penn
sylvania and Central railroad tracks
which adds an element of danger to
their transit.
Mayor Bollschweiler is Of the i'm
preston that according TO reports of
the conditions, at least O pathway
should be provided for the children
across the vacant land in question
and If possible Inslee street should
be continued to State street. The
mayor plans to make the trip with
Street Commissioner Adair, Alder
man-at-Large William D. voorhees,
and several other city officials.

ICE BREAKERS
ARE NEEDED AT
C0UHT ~ BRIDGE

Ice in Raritan river is causing
serious damage to the county bridge
between this city and South Amboy
and prompt action will probably be
taken by the Board of Freeholders
TO remedy conditions by the construc-
ton of ice breakers. County Engi-
neer Fred Simons has made a thor
ough examination of the structure
and finds that several piles have
been broken off and destroyed by ice
and that several more will most like
1y be destroyed and portions OF the
bridge endangered II the ice banks
up much more. The pressure of Ice
against piles supporting the struc-
ture has been terrific of late, caused
by alternating freezing and thawing
spells of the weather.
1t Is likely that the freeholders
will act without delay in the matter
for the condition is serious and an
other thawing spell may result dis
asterously. Mr.. 6imons has advised
the freeholders of the difficulty and
recommends the speedy erection of
Ice breakers. He visited the bridge
Saturday afternoon and at glance
saw that ice breakers should be driv-
en- as soon as possible, for portion
of the structure might otherwise be
carried away with heavy pressure
against the supporting piles. He
made an inspection OF the entire
bridge and ascertained where Ice
breakers are most needed.
