PuRiTANs IN FOOLISH FIGHT
Stern Old Men Of Long Ago Had
silly Idea They Could Prevail
Against Dame Fashion.

Dress reformers Of the present dayl
who deplore the abbreviated skirt and
peek-a-boo waist, may be astounded tg
learn that even in the good old puritau
times the lure Of Dame Fashion had
y bewitching effect on the young men
and maidens.
Researches into the ancient laws Of
the Massachusetts, Bay colony have re-
vealed that the fathers had their own
troubles with their offspring who rec1
ognized snappy style when they
saw it.
In 1854, just four years after the
arrival of Governor Winthrop's ships.
the apparel question had become so
pressing that the lawmakers tried
their hands as fashion mOlders.
Here is the statute placed on the
books in its original wording:
The Court, takeing into considera-
tion the create, superfluous and un-
necessary eNpences occasioned by rea.
son of some newe and immodest fash.
ions, as also the ordinary weareing OF
silver, golde and silke laces, girdles,
hat bands, etc, hath therefore ordered
that no person. either man or woman,
shall hereafter make or buy apparel,
either wOolen, silke or lynnen, with
any lace on it, silver, golde silke or
threed, under the penalty Of the for
lecture of such cloathes.
Provided, and it is the meaning of
this court that men and women shall
have liberty to weare out such ap-
parell as they are move provided of,
except the immoderate create sleeves,
slashed apparel, imnoderate create
rayles, long wings, etc.

after the publishing thereof"

bility In the recent tournament at
Cannes the king of Sweden and the
ex-king of Portugal handled their rack
cts with skill and de1terity in mixed
doubles with Mile. Lsnglen and Mrs.
Bemish for partners. Mile. Lenglen

from Mrs. Bemish and the king of Swe-

TREES GIVEN EXPERT CARE
Body sf PubIIe-spirited Los Angeles
Men Recognizes the impor-
tanoS Of the Work.

Recognizing that the average citi-
zen, or average laboring man., knows
little or nothing about moving trees,
a group Of Los Angeles men have or
ganised company which has for it,
purpose the transplanting Of trees
and the removal Of trees and stumps
about the city.
The tree and stump company is a
decidedly mobile organization. Its
men travel in automobiles. carrying
their tools and tree-moving machin-
cry in trailers behind the cars. Thus
equipped they are prepared to go
quickly to any location about the city
wherever their services are required
The mechanical appliances of tree
transplanting, and tree and stump re-
moval, are few and simple. There is
an abundance of block-and-tackle
equipment for the handling Of large,
heavy trees, and a compact windlass
Of special design is used for pulling
trees out by the roots.
When tree is merely to be re-
moved, a stream Of water played from
a hose is used to dislodge the earth
from the roots. II the tree has to
be moved any great distance heavy
wire netting Is wrapped about the
roots to hold the earth intact. This
IL then REINFORCED with rope, and the
tres 10 lacked onto roller dollies for
transportation. At its new location
the wire netting 10 removed. and
blocks and tackle are used to hoist It
into posltion.-John Edwin Ho9y In

HOW
LARGE CONCRETE BRIDGE
WAS RJJHT Under TENT-

LARGE CONCRETE BRIDGE
WAS BUILT UNDER TENT
By enclosing the entire work In
tent. concrete bridge over
the Little Goose river in Sheri-
dan county, Wyoming, was con-
structed during the winter
months. The work is described
in Concrete In Architecture and
Engineering, which IL thus quot
ed in Engineering and Contract
ing:
Weather conditions last win
ter in that part of the country
were the most severe encoun-
tered in many years. but be-
cause the highway, of which
this bridge formed link. is u
very important one, the state
highway department saw the
need of completing the bridge
so that the road between Sher-
idan and Dietz might be opened
early in 1920 for the heavy
farm hauling prevailing in that
section. CONSTRUCTION work was
started in the fall of 1919, and
forms for the three spans erect
ed. Before any concrete was
placed, Il large tent was set up
over the entire structure site
and fires kept going in the en-
closure in stoves with smoke
outlets through the top Of the
tent. Aggregates and mixing
water were heated. During the
progress of the work u SHOW
storm followed by severe cold
lasting scNcrni days, tested the
effectiveness of the tent. The
housing proved equal to the
emergency, however, and there
was no particular difficulty in
keeping the enclosure sufficient
ly warm until the concrete had
hardened The work on this
bridge suggests the application
of the same principles to longer
structures where II might be
practicable to house In only one
or Two spans at a. time. The
same method could be applied
to the construction OF long
walls and other relatively MIR
row structures by housing in
successive sections"

? New YOrk.-A nationwide campaign

lict drugs in. the United SStatesgFed-
eral investigators havd reported that
more morphine. heroin, cocaine and
straight opium are being used in New
York city, Chicago, San Francisco,
Philadelphia and Boston than ever be-
fore. While the authorities in these
cities have the laws necessary to deal
with the situation, they declare they
cannot stop something they cannot
see.
When It Is considered that one man
e. can cross the Canadian border or the
Rio Grande and, without changing his
appearance in any manner, return
with. several thousand dollars worth
of drugs, it may be realized how diff
cult 1t is for national, state and mu-

situation. Besides this difficulty the
government has announced that the
illegitimate use of habit-forming tlrugs
has increased anywhere from % to
90 per cent since the Eighteenth
amendment became an appendix to

? Where Opium Comes From.
Virtually all of the opium lawfully
sent to the, United States comes from
London and Edinburgh. In these cities
three manufacturers send out more
opium than all the rest of the manu-
facturers in Great Britain. While
Some Of the opium struggled into this
