Guard Against sufragetres.

The propensity OF tae saffragettes to
apply the torch without any apparent
proyocat.on has caused people all over
England TO guard their property against
possible attack from tie woman agita-
tors.
A typical case is the Parish Church Of
Brentwood. Essex. The building was
neither dariaged nor directly threatened
but nevertheless most adequate precau-
tons were taken TO protect il and its
treasures. For months sentries chosen
from among the parishioners have kept
a continual watch on their church. the
women taking the day watch in turns
and the men the night watch. Even now
the day watch continued. while other
precautions have been taken TO prevent
a night attack. Each week list of
watchers is hung IL the church, the
names OF about twenty or thirty of the
more lesured woman members OF the
congregation appearing it under one
or more special days. The women take
half-hour turns from !. o'csock in the
morning until O'Clock III sae evening.

Bombitas real name is Ricardo Torres.
He was a typesetter as youth, but soon
left this calling to follow his two elder
brothers into the arena. Few toreadors
have acquired such great reputation as
Bombita- His popularity in Spain is uni

grace of his thrust and for reckless

Great Firm to Dissolve.

The passing away of one of the great
est contracting firms in the world, John
Arid 4 Co., is announced for next year.
The firm. which damned the Nile and
carried out other great works through
out the world, will cease to exist next
September, by which time all outstanding
contracts will have been completed.
The decision to go out OF business has
ben taken by the present Sir john Arid.
who succeeded his father In 1911, and
inherited from him fortune of over
S5.00O,G0O The reason given is that.
while the risks of contracting are as
great as they ever were, the profits are
not nearly so large as they were some
twenty or thirty years ago. Great plants
will be distributed and staff OF en-
gineers and workmen, who are said TO
have no superiors will be seeking new
positions as a result of the action.
Like that of most big contracting firms,
the history of John Arid 81 Co. is some
what romantic. 1t was started in 1913
by John Arid. Scottish mason, who
came to London from Ross-shire and
after following his trade for several
years, was appointed superintendent OF
the Phoenix Gas Company at Greenwich.
There he learned the business that gave
him his start, and the first big under
taking of his firm was the laying or
water and gas mains for London. His
son. the fist baronet. who died in 13l1,
Joined the firm in 1851. and under him
the firm made great strides Many great
works were created by them. but the
damming of the Nile capped all their
work.
II was not easy to get this undertake
ing financed the Egyptian government
not being willing to take the risk. 1t was
accomplished when the late Sir John Arid
met Sir Ernest Cassel, the banker. in
Egypt one day. Arid placed the plans
before the banker and in two days the
financial end OF the undertaking was ar
ranged and Arid was able to go to the
Egyptian government with an offer to
construct dams at Assouan and Assiout
without even the first payment being
made until the work was completed.
