that interested and impressed me most

far ahead Of the fasteners IN our
methods of reinforced concrete con-
structiOn. Our methods are safer and
also more economical was looking
for some way to improve our way OF
doing the work, but could find none

modern farming methods used. They
have large power plows in use up IN
Alberta and farm on a large scale
Likes ChicagO's Parks.

the whole day there for 81. They have
free baths and many forms OF recre-
alton for the children, and food can
be purchased at refreShment STANDS al

perfection of the social life OF the poor
that I have ever seen anywhere on the
globe The city authorities are doing
a worlds work there for the poor"
