Bridge Contract Awarded
for $11,795; Start Work Soon

The first plans specified that the
supports should be concreted from
the bridge to the sand bottom of the
river. After this was done it was
found that the weight of the concrete
coating, or shell, would tend to sink
through the sand and crack off, al
lowing the water to enter the cracks.
To avoid this possibility, the speci-
fications were changed to provide
that the concrete shell around the
piIing must extend through the sand
bottom of the clay foundation. thus
affording ample support to the
weight. This change will mean long
err life to the bridge.
AS soon as the contract is signed,
the work will start, and H, F. Gay,
contracting engineer for the company,
is now in the city. This firm holds
extensive contracts with the United
States for work at the aeronautic
station.

After considering three bids, sub
mitted by as many companies, the
board of county commissioners, in
special session Tuesday morning,
awarded the contract for the CON
struction of the Molino bridge to the
Virginia Bridge and Iron Company,

$11,795.00. The other two bids we've
by the Vincennes Bridge Company,
for $12,989.00, and Austin Brothers
Bridge Company, for $11,94O.O0.
The bid of the Virginia Bridge
Company under the original specifi-
cations was for $4,000, but after the
contract was called in and reconsid-
Grafton of the entire proposition de-
cided upon, other points were added
to the plans, making the bridge more
substantial. Specifically, the change
was for concreting the piling of the
bridge, both of the center and end
supports.

The first Of regular monthly con-

yesterday afternoon at ) o'clock. when
the heads of each department. in re-

the day before, assembled and for an
hour talked and planned for the flu

The commissioners realize that

Major Johnson, as well as the other
commissioners, wish to impress every

$50 10 TIE YgkLD
FROM S. SPENT
IN CITY GARDEN

Frank NJ. Williams. residing
at the corner of Fourteenth
street and Fourteenth avenue,
has about as good a return on
an investment of perhaps not
more than a five dollar bill as
could be wished, in gardening re-
suits.
Corn, from ten to twelve feet
in height, and bearing splendidly;
watermelOns, the first of which
formed dessert at his table last
Sunday; tomatoes, of the most
rich, red and succulent variety;
Cucumbers, Kentucky Wonder
beans which have produced
enough for the entire neighbOr-
hood, with elephants, canta-
lOupes, squash and a plentiful
supply of sweet potatoes coming
on, all go to show that with lit
tie effort, it is easy to solve the
high-COst-Of-living question from
a vegetarian's standpoint.
Last night, Mr.. Williams stated
that his gardening experiment
had cost not more than five dol
lars. Flowing. he figured. cost
S1.5O; a helper for one day cost
$1.0O; fertilizer. not more than
$3.50, and seeds, not over one
dollar. From that outlay, Mr..
Williams states. more than fifty
dollars have been earned, and
there is still a large quantity of
vegetables yet to be gathered.
Magnificent Hastings prolific
corn, towering above the fence,
and covered with ears, from
which the silken tassles glisten
in the sun rays, attract the atteu-
ton of the passers-by. Inter
spersed throughout the corn field
are melons, tomatoes, Cucumbers,
etc. and there are no visible eff
fects of drOuth.
Root irrigation, Mr.. Williams
tells friends, is the secret of the
great success. 1t is not much
benefit to spray the plants, he
says. but water the roots and be
generous with the water. That
accounts in great measure for the
magnificent stand of corn as COM
pared with the stunted variety
less than a block distant.
Mr.. Williams says he has no
patent on his irrigation system,
but claims that he worked the
plan personally. Results prove
its value, even after the most de-
structive drOuth.

There has been a let up in the

Captain Aiken, in talking to the
Rotary Club at the regular luncheon

The work will continue for several

Horrors Suffered by French.


Behind the British Lines in France,
June 1.-(Correspondence of the As
sociated Press)-The French children
found in the villages of Northern
France, evacuated by the Germans
under the~pressure of the British and
French offensives, present a picture
of the savagery of modern warfare
as characteristic as the Somme forest,
shattered and broken by months of
shell fire.
Many of these children are or
phans, without home or relatives.
Many have been grievously wounded
Most of them suffer from a peculiar
species of shell shock which afflicts
them generally with a sort of tremor
not unlike st. Vitus dance.
They have life and death, horrors,
human and inhuman, revealed to them
in guises so terrible that they will
never be quite normal again. All are
underfed and frail from confinement
in cellars. Cut off suddenly from
relatives and friends perhaps two
years ago, they have continued to live
within a few hundred yards of he
front lines, listening always to the
thud of shells and the crash of ex-
plosives until their idea of heaven is
"a place that is very quiet"
The condition of peasant men and
women who have been living under
the shadow of the invader through
these long months and years has been
bad enough, but the condition of the
half starved, wounded and mentally
deranged little children has been far
worse. All the children were collect
ed and shepherded by the first en-
tente troops into the newly occupied
areas.
Everything that can be done to
cure and care for them is now being
done, constituting one of the most
important immediate tasks of the
French committees on reconstruction,
The first step was to remove them
well behind the front areas. Those
who were orphans were taken far
away from the sight and sound of
shells, many of them to the south of
France. The military district cases
were put under the care of farm
mothers. The more serious cases
must of course be kept under close
medical supervision in special insti-
buttons.
Children who were not orphans
were not usually taken away from
the district, but were placed on farms
nearby where it is possible for the
parents to visit them frequently.
One French organization has a hos
pital with four hundred child patients
all under II years of age. Most Of
them are wounded. Some of them
have lost legs or arms. others their
sight, others are suffering from brain
fever or a puzzling anaemia under
which they rapidly waste away.
"They are the victims of ruthless
ness of modern warfare" said the
head of the hospital. There is no bet
ter argument against war than to see
these mutilated little victims Who will
never play or enjoy life as other chill
dren do. They are mere shadows Of
childhood. It is difficult to make +ba1T
talk and they tremble and starr at ar
any noise, or sudden movement Wo-
men are always gentle with cb;,.;raT,
