it was decided also to engage the Fred
T. Ley Construction Co. of Springfield
Mass, who had offered to do the work,
to put on temporary bridge and the
company was engaged although no con-
tract was executed.
The Lev CO., which is one of the best
known construction concerns in the East
will begin work Immediately, the job be
ing under the direction of Robert Coombs
Of North street, Brattleboro, who for II
years was construction foreman for
the Ley Co. Mr.. Coombs will stretch a
cable across the river and attach thereto
q scow so that he can make soundings TO
determine the necessary length of piles
which will be driven to support the tenn
porary bridge. 1t is thought likely that
piles can be secured in this immediate
vicinity. Some of them will have to be
go feet or more in length.
On account of various contingencies il
j. impossible to tell exactly what the ex
pense will be, but the Ley Co. figures that
IL will b. from 5000 to $4,000. TIL,
company will build temporary bridg,
on u cost plus basis.
The towns have signed contract witt
John W. Storrs of Concord, n. H., to b.
consulting engineer during the construc
ton OF both the temporary and perma
neht bridges. Mr. Storrs will MAKE
plans for the new bridge and bids vii
then be called for.
The new bridge will be few feet mar
rover than the old one, as no provision
will be made for street railroad line
The walk for pedestrians will be on tn,
north side For most people this wi
avoid the necessity of crossing the high
way twice in going from this village t
Island Park The selectmen PRACTICAL,
have decided to set the bridge six fee
higher than the old one, and inasmuc
"a the towns will look to the Connection
River Power Co. to pay the cost OF tn
new structure they have asked the CON
pany if it had any suggestions to max
relative to the height at which the ne
bridge should be placed, but have r.
ceived no response.

who visited DIR. Grenfell while on his ex-
ploring expedition.
Mention was made of the hospitals,
five of which are included in the work of
the mission, and the statement was made
that a unit is to sail in June from Johns
Hopkins hospital to take up work there.
One of the hospitals has beds for a. pa
TENTS. Pictures of the children's home
were of much interest. The speaker told
of small boy who was picked up on one
of the beaches, nearly dead with tuberc-
uar joints, but that now he is in hos
pital in Pittsfeld, Mass, where he was
sent after he had made improvement in
one of DR.. Grenfell's hospitals in Labra
dor.
Pictures of herd of reindeer, dog
races and many other interesting views
including ship building and travelling
by ship and small boats through the
ice, were shown. A map, showing tho
location of the hospitals, which are 1o(
miles or more apart, with nursing sta
tions between, was among the group.
The address was replete with thrill
ing experiences of the explorer, navi
gator, surgeon and missionary who ha.
done much for the deep sea fishermen
of the Labrador coasts.
Announcement was made that Mrs
| Frederick Holbrook was the local rep
resentative of the New England Gren
! fell association and that those VIII
| desired to contribute to the work coul,
send remittances to her.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
The Top Surrounded by Golden bands
Visible Only at Certain Times.

Few persons who have seen the Wash |
ington Monument, even those who have
lived within sight of it all their lives,
have noticed that the apex Of the monu-
ment is surrounded with parallel bands.
Such is the fact, however; and moreover,
the bands are studded with golden points.
The bands are made of gold plated iron
n foot wide; and the other points are
spaced n foot from one another.
For few moments in each sunny day
of the first week Of the new year the
golden fllet that binds the brow of the
Washington Monument is visible to the
naked eye Then, the angle of incidence
Of the suns rays is such that they are
reflected downward to the windows of
the buildings north and west of the mon
lment, and the cool, gray surface is seen
to be marked with eleven shining lines OF
gold.
Theoretically similar effect could be
obtained from some point OF observation
at each moment when the suns rays are
intercepted by the sloping top OF the mon
ument, but only an airplane or balloon
could afford the necessary vantage point.
According to the original plan OF the
monument it was protected from lightning
by an aluminium tip that was connected
with the metal tfdneWOrk OF the eiefdloi.
During the very first summer after the
monument was completed, however, 1t
was struck twice, and piece of stone
was chipped from the ,op.
Experts from all the scientific depart
ments Of the government were called OF
to contrive a plan for the better protec
ton of the shaft. and they decided tina
copper bands, studded with projecting
points would accomplish the purpose
Col. Casey, who had charge of tn
work, objected on the ground that tn
copper would turn green, and that tn
verdgris would run" and spoil the az
pearance of the monument: he ais
doubted that the copper would have tn
necessary tensile strength So the men o
science agreed on number Of iron bands
heavily galvanized and gold plated SO a
to prevent rusting.
The gold hands are connected with tn
aluminium point of the monument and III
framework Of the elevator. and at tn
base iron cables lead the electricity int

THE BARTENDER.
The White-Coated Diplomats Found
New Jobs Easily ~

What has become of the bartender?
thousands OF friends and acquaintance
last friends and casual acquaintance
have gwen more than one passing
thought to the old-time knight of the
white aporn, the mixer of delectable and
ent1clng connections and the drawer of
the comforting brew.
There were, during the halcyon pre-
prohibition days, approximately 5000 bar
tenders and wine clerks in Boston
Of course, there were different classes,
different grades of them, with varying
degree of neatness and education and ac-
compllshment. There was the spic and
span clerk with his immaculate white
aporn and starched white duck coat, and
there was the beer singer who was
not SO fussy about his personal ap
pearance.
10 countless Bostonians, the bartender
was necessary part of daily life. Hotel
habitues cultivated his acquaintance, foI
as a rule the bartender was a comb
| nation of counsellor, friend, confdant
and quite often, nurse, for there were
hundreds of bartenders who prescribed
| for their customers ills and fancied ills
Patrons of the more plebian saloons
and bars knew the bartenders intimatel,
They called them by their first names

which in the majority of instances wa

The bartender-the old-time hartende

know its substantial business men mucl

of human nature. A bartender, to b
successful, to attract trade of hi
own must have been a diplomat and
good fellow
And they embodied both virtues, as
class, and that's why they have drifte
back into civil life with scarcely furry
Probably more than nine-tenths of tn
bartenders are now engaged in respons

CHAPEL CARS A SUCCESS.
Baptists Maintain Seven in Their Cos
pei Campaign.

In its campaign for 100000, 900 to fur
Their Christian work in this country and
abroad, the Baptist church is laying great
stress on the importance of its Gospel
campaign on wheel and keel,
Seven Pullman chapel cars, built at an
average cost of $4,000, are being used
to solve the transportation problem of the
present-day circuit rider of that denomina-
ton
The cars are operated over railroad
lines the have opened up new sections Of
the country, where churches, auditoriums
and schools are conspicuous by their alt
sence.
The church also maintains along with
its cars three steam yachts, ffty-eight
prairie schooners and sixteen colportage
automobiles. These carry the Gospel to
people who can be reached in no other
way. The time may not be far distant
when the Baptist leaders will add an air
fleet to their already varied Gospel equip
ment
Chapel cars are sent to new towns
along new lines of railroad, where there
is no church or Sunday school of any de
nomination. Frequently, upon the invita-
ton of railroad officials, the ears are side
