The BRIDGE BUILDER.

THE 6RID6E 6OIIO6n.
An old man, going lone highway,
Came at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm vast and deep and VIDE.
The old can crossed in the twilight
dim,
The sullen stream had NO fear for
him;
But he turned when safe on the other
side
And built bridge to span the TIDE.
"Old man." said fellow pilgrim near,
"You are wasting your strength with
building here:
Your journey will end with the ending
day,
You never again will pass this way;
You've crossed the chasm deep and
wide,
why build this bridge at evening
tide?"
The builder lifted his old gray head
Good friend, in the path have
come" ne said,
aThere followeth after me today
IA youth whose feet must pass this
way.
This chasm thatshas been as naught
to me,
To that fair.haired youth may pit

He, too. must cross in the twilight

Good friend, am building this bridge

POWER BOAT CLUB PLANS
TO CLOSE THE SEASON
Eastern Will Hold Annual Oyster
Roast Next Month After
the Races.

Plans for bringing the season to a
close are being made by the Eastern
Power Boat Club, which has it's quar-
tiers in the Anacostia river near the
Navy Yard bridge, and already owners
of some of the craft have pulled their
boats on shore in order to repair and
improve them.
The final official function of this club
will be held the latter part of next
month, when all members and friends
will go to Marshall Hall or some other
nearby resort on the Potomac to hold
the annual oyster roast. 1t is desired,
however. before that time to conduct a
series of races on the Anacostia river,
the same as in past seasons. So far
this season no races have been held be-
cause of the few racing boats available.
improvements have recently been COM
pleted to more and a large number are
in the water.
John Battenfield, member of the
club, is having built at the present time
a racing boat with which he hopes to
establish a record for local craft. The
boat will be of the hydroplane type,
twenty-six feet long. and equipped

Declares Again "Government Dis.

Products" in Reply to Inquiry.

Characterizing the present business
opportunity in South America as an
opportunity for service rather than
sales. Secretary Redfield of the De-
partment Of Commerce Informed the
Senate yesterday that the time was
not opportune for general trade
campaign in South America.
Replying to the Senate's resolutions
asking for an estimate of the probable
cost of sending government vessels
carrying American samples and trade
ENJOYS to South Americas principal
ports. the Secretary suggested that dis

products should not be made under the
auspices of the federal government"
The effect of the European war has
not impaired the ultimate purchasing
power of South America, Mr.. Redfel6
said. but its present buying strength
and resources of current credit are ad.

portunity in South America, he added
but 1t is an opportunity for study and
for the laying down of broad business

that the policy called for is that OF

new MOVE TO REDUCE
HIGH COST OF. LIVING
School for Housekeepers Proposed,
With Prospect Of Andrew
80 Carnegie's Aid.
Object Of Movement; as Explained
to Alliance Committee, Is the
Training Of Domestics.

Establishment Of housekeepers'
school may mark the next effort OF
Washington housewives to bring down
the cost of living. -
This project, which was proposed q
number of years ago and for the
launching of which small fund was
started, may grow into a reality at
an early date, according to statements
made yesterday at meeting of the
committee on cooperation OF the
Housekeepers' Alliance in the Public
Library.
Mrs. Frederick Leslie Ransome. chair
man of the committee. said there is
prospect of obtaining from An
drew Carnegie donation toward the
sufficiently representative number of
housewives can be interested in it. She
expressed the hope that the organtza-
ton of consumers for the purpose OF
dealing with producers through the
parcel post would lay the foundation
for the establishment Of the school.
School for Domesties..
The primary purpose. of the proposed
institution would be to turn out trained
domestics. The saving to the house
labor of this character would be an
important factor in reducing the cost
of living, it is claimed.
The Housekeepers' Alliance, through
it's committee on cooperation. is max
ing careful investigation of the prac-
ticability of parcel post buying. That
results so far noted appear to favor
the plan was the statement of Mrs.
Ransome at yesterdays meeting of
ho n
the nature of an experience meeting.
Mrs. Ransome said the committee is
conducting great deal of correspond
ence with producers. and that buyers
who will affiliate with the alliance will
be given the benefit of the information
being gathered by that body as to the
best methods of dealing by parcel post.
Parcels in Good Condition.
Mrs. Ransome said she has received
such produce as eggs and honey by
parcel post and that the shipments in
variably have arrived in good condi-
ton. For the purpose of dealing with
producers through the mails she sug-
gested the organization of consumers
clubs of ten members each. Under such
a plan the members could divide up the
work of correspondence, but the buying
units should not consist of more than
two members. she suggested, as it has
been found impracticable for a greater
number of persons to place their or
derS in one.
Among those who attended the meet
ing were Postmaster Praeger and Mrs.
Harvey w. Wiley 1t was announced
that meeting will be held each month
in the library, at which results of
parcel post buying will be discussed.
An invitation was given the members
to attend the parcel post exhibit at the
fair at Fairfax Court House October IA.
