BUILDING OF KEY BRIDGE
NOW CONSIDERED CERTAIN
Action by Congress Timely as Old Structure
Is Dangerous-Civic and Social Gatherings
Planned for Georgetown.

General qualification is expressed
in Georgetown over the favorable
prospect Of Congress appropriating
quickly sI.1oo.oOo to continue the
construction Of the Key bridge. This
will bring the total cost OF the
structure up TO s2,1o0.ooo. It is said
the Key bridge will resemble the
Connecticut avenue bridge. In or
der that work may be resumed
promptly when the increased appro-
priation is made, Mai. NJ. c. Tyler.
the engineer officer in charge. has
Skept a small force Of men working
in the plant since general work was
suspended. January !.
There have been several serious
! delays in the construction work
since the project was started. Many
of the workmen entered the army.
and others sought the higher pay
given on war emergency construc-
ton work. Another cause OF delay
was the shortage OF material.
Apprehension is felt concerning
the safety Of the old Aqueduct
bridge. which viii he srIpplaute1 nv
the Key bridge. MAJ. Tyler expresses
fear that the old bridge may COL
lapse with losc - life before the
new one is finished.

Blacksmith s shops aren't as numerous

Blacksmith shops aren't as numerous as they used to be. And those of them that are left to us aren't always under the spreading chestnut tree. Some of them are right in the middle of the cruel city-to which they add wholly supererofatory cruelty.
 Having been to school, you know of course that the village blacksmith, through the medium of something at tempted, something done" earns his nights repose. It is different with the city blacksmith.
 What he does in the day time I don't know. But he neither takes any nights repose himself, or Yermits anybody else to take it.

 The delegates from Birmingham will leave Monday afternoon at APO over the Louisville and Nashville and reach Dothan at II o'clock Monday evening.
 An annual temperance rally day known as Worlds Temperance Sun day" has been given to the Sunday schools, and Is now pretty well uni versally observed
 The suggestion for the day came from Hon. Charles Waters of the Lon don Sunday School Union, where the movement began, and the original date was the fourth Sunday in Novem- Der, but was later changed to an earlier date. Sunday, October 31, will be ob- served as temperance day. the churches almost universally will have sermons on temperance
 The international Sunday school com mlttee has given great significance to worlds temperance Sunday by provid- ing each year a most excellent tenn perance lesson for that day, and let 1t be remembered that millions of Sum- day school children study that lesson simultaneously.
 Primarily, the worlds temperance sunday is for the Sunday schools and intended to be a fixed opportunity to educate the youth in total abstinence and prohibition principles from the Bi- ble standpoint.
 Mrs. R. L. Ezelle. superintendent of this department, says all Birmingham churches will observe the day with a fitting programme. and those needing advice or help in arranging their pro- gramrncs vii find she will gladly lend helping hand in this work.

| lows, the dreary song that he hummed l he moved about the shop, were all | more or less sedative. After I had looked out of the side window and located the shop directly across the street I felt easy. What l could be more bucolic than a black smith shop, and what could be more conducive to slumber than this bit of rural life brought , to the throbbing heart of the city?
 But when I began groping around to pick up a thread of a pleasant
 dream I had just started, somebody brought in a horse.
 The man who brought in the horse was named Jake, or the horse was named Jake. Anyway the blacksmith used the name Jake a number of times
 in succession. and Jake is word that no one can pronounce except harshly. Jake's owner, or Jake, needed to be shod on all four and one of them was reluctant to submit to the operation. The reluctance was first manifested
 by heavy stamping on the floor Of the
 shop. When that did not serve its
 purpose the noble animal laid down
 hoof barrage on a partition and the
 partition apparently came down. IL
 came down with crash. too-a crash
 that brought me into sitting posl'1on
 with a gasp of terror.
 There was silence after that, but it didn't last long Evidently the horse
 had had his way and the blacksmith,
 philosophically murmuring, "Oh, very
 we'll" took up the work that fell next
 to his hand.
 This appeared to be the repairing of
 a boiler although up to that time I thought blacksmiths were Inhibited
 from the repairing of boilers by the rules of the boilermakers' union. It took two hours to repair the boil er--during which I thought of the 1eep peace of. my suburban home, with the hum of the crickets outside the win dow and the song of the brook in the distance
 It would have taken me only an hour after the theatre to be there, enjoying the blessed honey dew of slumber. But it was too late now, the last train lad
 gone and one doesn't walk twenty-one miles in the middle of the night, even
 for the sake of sleep. I hoped the blacksmith would be tired when he finished the boiler, but he wasn't. He began to take a wagon apart, and it came apart hard, being obviously a well built wagon.
 I noted the creak of every bolt as 1t was drawn from its place. heard the thump of every fragment as it was tossed to the floor.
 And I longed for the noise of the boiler repairing, for I had just about got used to that. I got used to the decimation of the wagon after a while. but as soon as that happened the rla ck-
 smith shifted his job on me and began forging shoes on the anvil. not with
 measured beat and slow, but with an
 irregular hesitating uncertain ham,
 mering that got me awake permanent
 ly and kept me so till breakfast.
 I felt so sorry for my friend, doomed
 to spend every night next door to thls
 inferno. that I invited him out to my
 house for the week end.
 He came down to breakfast next morn
 ing looking not so refreshed as hoped
 he would.
 <"Well,' said, T hope you had good
 sleep at last"

 a fellow sleep with those dod-gasted
 crickets buzzing in his ears all night?" Copyright. 1920, by The Bell Syndicate
