Crowd Gets Free Sneeze.

The next time Johnny Jimpson
takes his grandfather to the baseball
game he is going to make the old
man promise to leave his snuff box
home. The two were seated in the
stand when along about the second
inning Grandfather Jimpson felt that
he needed a pinch Of snuff. He pro-
duced beautifully engraved snuff
box and opened it. Unfortunately he
did not figure on the wind velocity,
for no sooner had he opened the cov-
er than the contents were blown from
the box. Then 1t seemed that every
one In the stand began to sneeze.
Look what you've DONE" moaned
young JimpsOn to his grandfather.
"All this sneezing is liable to rattle
the players and the Cubs might lose"
"ConfOund the players !" replied the
old man. II want my snuff. Look at
everyone sneezing around here on my
snuff. Why didn't some of it blow on
me?

NJ. and Nine. lie BaraQuet live in the
shadow of scissors cathedral. They are
very partial to Americans. Particular
~ Nine. lie Baraquet, dear old aristo-
crat, confesses that she adores them
for, as she explains, "If the Ameri.
cans had not come, we could not have
returned home" And she shakes her
white curls in testimony of her great
earnestness, remarks writer In the
American Legion Weekly.
Living amid their old scenes is very
difficult for the Baraquets. II you.

VIII wonder why in heavens name
any one would care to come back to
this town of underground dugouts.
You will remember that all the houses
around the cathedral were leveled by
the bombardment. Once upon time
the home Of the Baraquets, With it's
carved rafters in the dining hall and
Its oak-paneled library, was thing
OF rare Seventeenth-century beauty.
But there Is not one stone Of it laid
upon another nowadays, and the Bara-
quets live in what was once their
wine cellar. Monsieur is 50 years old.
Madame Is 76.
Today the couple sleep in a bed
which the old man has fashioned out
OF packing box. A decrepit French
army stove stands at the foot Of the
bed. Just beyond, Monsieur Tin spite
OF his rheumatism) has built q little
table against the wall. Their cooking
utensils have been picked up from the
debris. Their plates are American
issue mess kits. Once their table was
graced with rare Limoges china and
antique silverware. Gone are the
ancestral paintings. In their place
there are three crude Autographs, one
OF Marshal Foch, one Of Prince Bona
parte and one OF Gen. Pershing.
Yet when they invite you into their
dugout 1t is with all the grace Of pre-
war days. 1t Is dingy down there.
Their little room is filled with smoke
and the walls are covered with mil
dew and slime. The hacking cough
Of Madame tells its own pathetic tale.
Sitting in these squalid quarters, your
mind wanders back to the days when
great house stood above those ruins.
You see the wonderful tapestries, the
old lamps. the marble statues. the
lveried servants the library rich In
treasure of forgotten age.

crowded her salon.
Suddenly her face changed and her
eyes sparkled brightly with a new fire.
"The old house knew many famous

Marvellous Bridge That Is to
Span the Hudson River.
Structure Many Times Larger Than
Famous Roadway That Connects
Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Inscribed over the portals of an early
and famous suspension bridge in Eu-
rope one may read the Inscription,
"Via Suspense Difiicile Fit" of which
very free translation would be, ut is
no small task to swing a highway
through the heavens" Doubtless, re-
marks the Scientific American, the alb
origines thought SO when they first
spanned stream with their elemen-
tary suspension bridges built of the
tough tendrils of trees, and followed
these with more ambitious structures
built of cables woven Of twisted fibers.
The comparatively small strength of
such materials set stern limit upon
the length to which these early bridges
could be built, and there was long
wait through the centuries until the
dawn of the iron age presented the
bridge builder with a material which
enabled him to construct more dar
ingly. And so it came about that in
1920 the famous engineer, Telford, by
forging his iron into long, fiat eye
bars, was able to build the famous
chain-cable suspension bridge 1000
feet in length which carried the post
road to Holyhead across the Menai
straits by means Of two shore spans
and a main span across the channel
which Is 500 feet in length.
But the iron chain cable grew so
greatly in weight as it's length was in
creased that we had to wait until
drawn wire presented the engineer
with material that was SO strong In
proportion to its weight as to open up
greater possibilities In the building of
long-span suspension bridges and that
distinguished engineer, Colonel Roeb-
ling, availing himself Of the new ma
ter1al, did not hesitate to connect Man
haitian and Brooklyn by bridge whose
main span measures 1895 feet between
Its supporting towers.
Further Developments in metallurgy
and the art of steel manufacture, par
ticularly In the direction Of alloyed
st0els, has so greatly extended the pos
sibilities of lOng-span construction that
today In the bridge designed by Lin
denthal to span the Hudson river we
have a structure whose main span Is
double that of the Brooklyn bridge, it's
floor space five times larger and its
load capacity fifteen times as great.
If that engineer Of an earlier day
could come back seven years hence and
look upon the completed Hudson river
bridge, he would feel surely that his
Latin inscription could be placed above
the portals with a stronger emphasis
and more profound Significance than
he himself had ever dreamed Of. And
