THEIR, ESTIMATES TOO LOW
Their Figures Concerning the
Weight of Crowds.

Interesting experiments were made
some time ago at Harvard university
which seem to demonstrate that en-
gfneers usually underestimate the
maximum loading caused by dense
crowds on bridges, floors and plat
forms. Forty men averaging 1853
pounds In weight placed In box six
feet square caused an average pres
sure of 1S1 pounds to the square foot
on the floor.
An engineer has estimated the
weight per square foot of the densest
crowds on the New York elevated rail-
ways at only 45 pounds, but since the
Harvard experiments the opinion has
been expressed that the maximum
loading on the elevated cars and plat
forms may be nearer 1S1 than 45
pounds. This applies to other close
packed crowds.

FINAL TRIUMPH FOR MAURICE
Small Boy Endured Much, but in the
End He Made Strong Point
Over Rivals.

Ten-year-old Maurice was in love
with the pretty new teacher and did
everything in his power to get ahead
of the others in winning her affection.
Monday morning he was distinctly out
of humor when in walked John and
gave the teacher ticket. Its to the
entertainment at our church," he said
proudly. II bought this ticket for you
SO that you could come and hear me
sing"
A few days later he was more pro-
voked when in came Helen bearing
a ticket. Its to our dancing class
party. I want you to come and see
me dance" she smiled.
He scowled and scowled. But later
In the week his turn came to smile
above all the rest. He, too, bore q
ticket to teacher, but his speech was
different. "Here's ticket for you,
Miss Co." he smiled. "It's to the Ma
sons supper, and want you to come
and eat with me, not watch me eat"

to the brilliant wrap by wearing its

Evening dresses of chiffon taffeta
with capes to match are among the
alluring new arrivals. They are the
last word in beautiful colors, with
bouffant skirts In the new length and
voluminous capes that nearly cover
them. The capes are lined with chif-
fon. usually in a contrasting color, and
there is CLEAN of this color through
the thin silk, as in a cape of light blue
with pale orange for the lining. Very
fine plaitings of the silk are used In
bands for trimming and in collars that
have the appearance of a full ruche
about the throat. These gay trappings
are worn with hose and slippers to
match them In color. They have no
responsibilities other than to clothe
beauty most beautifully.

few hot-water pipes on the rear
walls of the building, are used early
in the spring for the duclilings after
they are 4 to 6 weeks old.
The brooders and brooding systems
used for chickens give good results
in rearing ducklings. Hot-water pipe
systems have probably been used more
extensively by commercial duck grow
ers. Ducklings do not require as high
temperatures as chickens, and very
loose hovers are generally used over
the hot-water pipes.
Use Individual Breeders.
Individual brooders or hovers, hold

buried the walnuts in a shallow pit
where they were subjected through

in the holes thus formed, and covering
them lightly.

statement of one authority that double

If the distance between them exceeds
