protest the poor grade of work being

their specific objections being: that
the curbing has not been placed on
a compact base and Is not aligned; ;
that the concrete has not been work
ed so that the mortar is flush against
the forms, and as result is full of
pores and pockets; and that the forms
should have been removed just be-
fore the concrete hardened and a brush

reading rooms of the Santa Fe Sys-
TEN, explained to the members the
results that had been obtained from
establishing the Libraries throughout
the system In his talk he told how
President Ripley had organized and
fostefed the system of entertainment
for employees and encouraged new sug-
gestions among the $4,000 workers.
! Speakers are secured from educa-
tional institutions. according to Bus
ser, and library costing 100000 has
been established. The Libraries have
been the means of increasing the ef-
ficiency of the men, and schools have
gladly cooperated in furnishing many
of the educational works.
R. A. Beebe, chief constructing en-
gineer of the Federal Wireless Sys-
tenn, explained the Poulsen system as
used by the government in the station
at Pearl Harbor, San Diego and other
centers.
Beebe's talk proved to be very in
teresting to the laymen, and although
necessarily technical was given in q
manner that was understood. He ex-
planned the control Of the waves. and
the various workings of the system
under various conditions.

that the pile driver is now removed
