ATlonlL PLAN
WORKED OUT TO
AVERT PAY CUT


Announcement was made this
morning that. practically every
building TRADES union will have In
ternational representatives in the
tri-cities within. the next few days
to handle wage contracts with the
Quad-City Builders exchange.
w. M. Chiles, Springfield. repre-
sentative of the International Elec-
tFical Workers union, inside wire
mems branch. arrived in Rock Is
land this morning on orders from
the International headquarters at
Washington, d. c., and will take up
the electricians work.
Local labor leaders predicted that
there would be little building work
this summer throughout the entire
country II there is no cessation of
the alleged national policy Of con-
tractors to break the unions and
slash wages.
However, they said that in New
York city, Philadelphia and other
points throughout the country new
agreements have been signed. and
claimed that there is little chance
of the unions being disrupted.
National Laber Agreement.
They said that there is a national
agreement among building crafts
men that they will not accept wage
reductions this spring. They claim
that wages were increased from go
to 81 per cent but that building ma
tsrial and living costs are still 100
per cent higher than in 1914.
In the quad-cities agreements ex-
pired April /. but the majority of
contracts with employees expire on
May and June l, and little agrees
sive action will be taken until all
contracts expire, it was said.
Labor leaders say that contrary
to the way the unions tie them
selves up, the contractors can raise
prices any number OF times during
the existence Of the contracts which
hold the unions to a certain wage
for ono year, and that in addition
prices Of living may be boosted so
there Is no way for the unions to
protect themselves to meet new
conditions.

35TH WEDDING
 ANNIVERSARY

A very pleasant and unique sur- prise was bestowed on MT. and Mrs. Sigmund Herschberg at their home at 169 Coleman street, last evening. It was the occasion of their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary The color scheme of decorations was thought fully and appropriately carried out in Keeping with the Halloween season and the occasion of the anniversary. Black and orange were prominent at the entrance and on the walls and fixtures, while mingled in here and there were crysanthemums, roses and carnations.
 MT and Mrs. Herschberg were pre- sented with a beautiful wicker fernery which, as the toastmaster quoted, &carried with it the spirit of ever keeping afresln the friendship and memories of their popular host and hostess.
 During the evening an enjoyable musical program was rendered for f7ancing and later on concert selec- tfons whiled away the minutes when the guests were playing whist At a late hour a buffet supper was served and completed by friendship toast for Mr. and Mrs. HirSchberg. wish ing them many happy returns Of the

 The work of designing and pre- pairing plans and specifications for the steel bascu1e span was awarded to Waddell and Son, Inc, Consulting Engineers of New York, and after advertising for and receiving bids, a contract was awarded to the Bethle 25, 1920 for the construction of the steel bascule span and machinery.
 Meanwhile, the Stuart company had been making good progress with their work and on May 2sth, 1920, a con tract for the timber lenders protect ing the channel was awarded to the T. A. Scott Company of New London, for S27,300, and this work was com pIeted and the contract closed on Nov. 15, 1920.
 On January 1, 1921 T. Stuart and Son had so nearly completed their contract that it was decided not to but to relieve them of the paving and approach work yet to be com p1eted and to close the contract. This was accordingly done, and nineteen months after starting work the con- tract was completed at a cost of $96,- 25S.72.

 The new bridge is a thoroughly modern structure in every respect and should serve for many years. The roadway is forty-three (43) feet wide and carries two lines of trolley tracks. Two eight foot sidewalks are pro- vided for pedestrians. The bascule span is of the two leaf type and pro-

Considerable attention was given to the artistic appearance of the new bridge and every effort was made to produce a bridge of pleas ing appearance and one which would harmonize with it's surroundings.
 At the present time, with several contracts yet to be completed on which exact figures cannot be ob- tained, it is estimated that the com plete structure and approaches will cost in the neighborhood of $1, 500,- 900.

The infant death rate IS inverse ratio to the parental intelligence, health and right olme.
 A BABY IS NOT A CALF.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-11-01
Health Talks
 By JOHN B. HUBER. A.M.;M.D.

The infant death rate IS inverse ratio to the parental intelligence health and right living holme.
 A BABY IS NOT A CALF.
 Those facts set down in yesterdays article, and many more to the same effect, do earnest and anxious chi1- drens' doctors tell us. Think of it. Twenty times as many bottle-fed summer complaints and the dys- enteries; among the former 10 times as many such pitiful little sufferers die. l5uring the first year of their helpless lives three times as roany die of the various diseases to which infancy is subject. In compara- tive study made in one city. 3. very small percentage of those who had in infancy been artidcially fed were found alive after their 21st year.
 pr. Thomas Southworth, so devot- ed and so able in pediatrics. has stat ed before medical society that now cannot, or think thev- cannot, or just crassly and obstinate'y will not, yield to the yearning of the infant, with no language but a cry for the breast of the mother who bore it. Such mother bewailed to a great physician whose temperament was tr1He short as to diplomacy-that it had pleased Providence to take her in fant from her. He told her b1untly that she had no reason to lay the blame on Providence, because Provi-
 
 with the wretched busines@it was not the Deity but her own abomina- b1e perversity, aided and abetted by bad milk. that had killed her baby. And yet there are people so blind, so fatuous. as to expect that this | twentieth century of ours is going to | evolute super-race! Think deeply 1 for a moment of the relation in which maternal nursing stands to | the welfare and the future of our | kind. The mothers orga anisnl is in l the most intimate union with that of her infant. The normal exercise of the nursing function does indeed not l only develop thei infant normally, but the fortunate mother as well and | as ntly-em motionally, spirit 1 ually, Intellectually, in every way | possible that is natural and rational. | And all this through the warmth and the close bodily contact, the caresses. and the constant play Of mother and | child. the tiny hand creeping confi- 1 dently about the mothers neck. | Who can, who dare, estimate the part played in the molding of the | chiId's character, to the infinite bene- fit of the individual and of the race. by the sweetness of the mothers smile which her infants first visual | impressions receive, by the comforta- bleness, the lovingness, the cherish ing expressed in the maternal coun- tenance?

had my eyebrows clipped with a pair of tweezers. I thought they would look much nicer. Instead it makes me look so horrid that I would give anything to have my eye brows back again. I put vaseline on them every night but they don't seem to grow any. I am very worried over them.
 Answer - Your eyebrows will re- turn. Don't bother about the vaseline. And there is no use worrying. It may take time but there will be a comeback. You are foolish trying to interfere with Nature.
