NEW STRUCTURE TO
REPLACE TWIN BRIDGES

One new structure is TO replace
the twin bridges across the Brandy
wine below Chadds Ford. which is
the one direct route from this city
to chadd's Ford, II present plans 60
through. The twin bridges were
condemned some time ago and have
been closed TO traffic for weeks.
Joint action between Delaware
and Chester Counties. Pa, will be
necessary as the site OF the proposed
new structure Is on the county line.
Some days ago a jury OF review met
at the site with officials OF both coun-
ties and went over the situation with
the result that It was decided TO rec
ommend the proposed new bridge.
The report Of this jury will now go
TO the courts OF the two counties but
hose familiar with the situation say
the project will no doubt go through.
The cost OF the bridge will prob
ably be from $685. to 100000.

So now along comes a London
manufacturer with an anti-fog de-
vice.
It's not a new invention. It's
simply the ordinary static electrical
machine.
The model used In fog expert
ments is a big glass cabinet in which
revolve, side by side. 16 large glass
plates.
In front OF the cabinet are two
adjustable brass balls. The glass
Plates are revolved AZ a very high
speed by a motor.
IL the brass balls are close enough
together an electric current OF 600 -
600 volts Is discharged between them
like a streak Of lightning.
BY drawing the balls apart the
current Is forced to discharge into
the atmosphere.
The effect is to attract particles OF
dirt and dust to the machine. The

sheets OF metal were hung around
the machine. The doors OF the

Is still a mystery. II was indicated
that Lindenfeld would not be paid

He declined TO comment further.
From other sources 1t was

According to information here,
Lindenfeld left New York about
three months ago. He was shadowed

the tragic. economic consequences
Frances course would have, and
showed with unmistakable clarity
that Italy is anything but SYM
pathetic to the French stand.
This unanimity and force stunned
the French. They had been present
