GAUGES CITY PAVEMENTS


New Device Makes Them Smooth and
of Right Height.
An adjustable gauge which guides
the contractor at work on concrete or
asphalt pavement and produces an &C.
curate surface, is now beng used on
many street paving jobs. The device
works on the principle of the smooth
ing board which the builder Of ce.
ment sidewalk uses to make sure his
surface is level.
The new paving gauge is on wheels
that run in The cement cutters. It can
be adjusted 10 various widths OF street
and for different heights OF crown. As
the street workers progress on each
operation in placing the different lay.
Os, the gauge is pulled behind them.
The method Is much quicker and sur
er than older ways which were large

THE Old Oaken Bucket" that inn
mortal song Of home and the heart, Of
mothers love and the childhood days
that can never come again-do you
know how il came TO be written?
Samuel Woodwork, the author of
the imperishabie song, was born in
Scituate, Mass. one hundred and
thirty three years ago Ian 10, 1885.
Earlv in life young Woodworth de-
veloped 4 strong leaning toward news
paperdom, ana when about fourteen
became an apprentice in the office Of
the local paper.
After serving his time in Scimate he
was made editor of Il paper in New
Haven, Conn.
He remained in New Haven for a
couple Of years, when he went TO New
York, where fer a time he eked out a
miserable existence by doing such lit
erary hack work as CHANGED to come
his way.
In the meantime the war clouds
began to gather and we soon found
ourselves in the midst of our second
fight with Great Britain, the War of
1872"
Woodworth's patriotism was rock
ribbed and from the beginning to the
end Of the struggle he appears to have
done excellent work as editor of a
weekly journal called the War, a pub
LEGATION that lived till the signing of
the Treaty of Client and the recogni-
ton of the rights for which his coun-
try had fought.
The animus of the paper that was
so faithfully edited by Woodwork
may be gathered from verse of one
of his poems published for the cncour-
agement of his countrymen and the
ratification of his country's enemies.
Here is the verse, which Ia all right
as sentiment if not as poetry:
Better net invade, recollect the spirit
Which our dads displayed and their
sons inherit,
If You still advance, friendly caution
sighting, ..
You may by chance get all you want

of fighting.
PickaXe, shovel, spade, crowbar, hoe
and harrow
Better not invade, Yankees have the
marrow"
Upon the return of peace Wood
worth became editor of Il Sweden
borgian magazine known as the Hal
cyon Luminary. This particular h-
minary did not shine very long, and
Woodwork next appears as editor OF
the Parthenon. How long the Par
thenon lasted VIC do not know. but
it is certain that its existence was
brief as compared with that of the
Parthcnon of the Greeks.
1t seems that about everything that
Woodwork took hold OF flashed in
the pan. He was in that respect like
John Howard Payne, the author of
Home, sweet Home" and, as was the
case with Payne, his name would have
gone down into eternal oblivion but
for just one song that came to him
in n moment Of inspiration.
That song, defying nationality and
language, latitude and longitude, and
all creeds political religious and eco
nomic, was destined to capture the
whole world and hold its heart to the
end of time.
1t was in 1917 that Woodwork
wrote The Old Oaken Bucket" and
the composition came about in the fol-
lowing way: Meeting an old friend
one day in a barroom and taking a
drink with him, Woodwork praised
the excellent character of the bever-
age, whereupon his friend, setting his
empty glass upon the counter and
locking his companion squarely in the
eyes said, mo, Sam, this stuff doesn't
compare for a moment with the clear,
sparkling water we used to drink
when boys from the old oaken bucket
that hung in the WELL
Not another word was said The
two shook hands and parted. Going
to his room Woodwork seized pen and
paper and began to write, and inside
of forty minutes had composed the
song which was never to die.

When ! say that these stunning
creations would not be practical, |
mean, of course. for the woman who
has to consider the expense of her
wardrobe equally as much as its
attractiveness. For the woman that
may pay a princely sum for her
clothes I'm sure she could find in this
selection the perfect satisfaction of
her desires. A bcauteous. marvellous
whirl, continuous and ever different,
the next being more wonderful than
its predecessor; this showing of fem
mine finery.
The Prominent ColOrs.
One of the most striking costumes
that 1 saw was an Afternoon dress of
henna- colored broadcloth. The waist
was absolutely bare of trimming, and
fitted snugly, giving the appearance
of a glove fit" The collar was q
high "choker," tight, and little
painful lookinge But this added to
it's attractiveness. for does not mar
tyrdom for fashion at the altar of
clothes render these objects more sa-
cred when they cause discomfort? The
skirt! My what an odd. yet adorable
thing it was, Just as tight as tight
could be, and ruffles running around
about three inches wide. from the
waistlne to the hem, A tall slender
brunette wore this, and in her
straight smooth couture she deity
perched dull blue-stoned ornament.
A perfect delight to look at. this Gre
allure of beauty.
This henna color has proved a ia
vorite with the most discerning cos
tumiers, and its future seems sure, for
so far its sales are such as to suggest
its popularity. 1t is a pretty shade,
a bit trying for one whose complexion
is not clear. but altogether it casts
a nice shade over the face and softens
the lines of the features. Over this
frock the manequn wore a broadtaiI
coat trimmed with Belgian Hare. A
sumptuous supply of this fur was in
evidence, and the coat was trimmed
in a most interesting fashion. The
collar was a tricky little affair and
swirled around twice before it decided
to stop and fasten itself high up
covering all OF my lady's chin. and
