Last night a piledriver was
towed up the Puyallup river. The
tug signaled the bridgetender to
open the span. The tender start
ed his machinery, but the bridge
refused to bulge. He worked for
an hour, without success, and
then sent for Street and Bridge
Supt. McGregor.
A second tug was summoned,
and it fastened a cable to the
draw. Started at full speed down
stream, the tug gave mighty
jerk on the structure, and pulled
the draw loose.
Orders will be given to exercise
the draw frequently in the future,
so that it will be in constant
readiness.

But anyway, Catharine De-

flashing and cheeks aflame, step
ped down from the platform after
leading these thousands of school
children in the wand drill, and
the first thing she said was:
my, BUT I WISH I COULD
DO IT RIGHT OVER AGAIN."
The highest ambition of Cath
arine, ever since she first took
part in a Stadium Day drill had
been to lead it. She realized her
great ambition yesterday and she
was flushed and happy.
81 felt that those thousands of
boys and girls all were depending
on me to lead them right, and
that If | made a mistake 1t would
spoil the whole thing. 1t was

Did you notice, you grown up,
easy going folks, that each small
John and Betsy who made up an
important part of the greatest
throng of school children that can
be gathered together, was think
ing and feeling the same thing
as the leader?
They All Did Part.
1t was just because each small
trained body was tense and eager
and felt the importance of the
part it was playing, that the
whole inspiring army Of boys and
girls, swaying and marching in
perfect unison, gripped hold of
your heart and lifted you from
the commonplace stone seat

of his hair to his finger tips,
waiting for the signal from his
leader. Little James lips were
counting one-two-three-fou one

proudly along in step with her
comrade.
They were our little girls and
our little boys, marching, drilling,
dancing, molding themselves into
one vast body which inspired us
fathers and mothers with a grace
and order that made our hearts
beat faster. Do we remember
ever having done so grand a
thing?
What II Taught.
Alone, each boy and girl, doing
his or her very best, would have
meant little. Pulling together
with their leaders. they stirred
the Stadium foundations.
