multiplicity Of grading rules II. s.
Belts. engineer IN forest products. for
est service, United States Department
of Agriculture, tells how lumber Is
graded in a forty-page pamphlet, Bull
letin GA, on the subject.
Woods are graded largely according
to rules prepared by lumber associa-
tlons, the members of which handle
lumber of one or more species that
grow in a certain region or are nntur-
ally grouped together, with the excep-
ton of the hardwoods, which are all
graded according TO the rules laid
down by National Hardwood Lumber
association, with headquarters in Chi

15,YEAR APPLE ORCHARD

and issued by the Vermont Experiment
Staten, at Burlington, Vermont, The
experiment, which was begun fifteen
years ago, was conducted for the pur
pose of making a comparative study OF
the growth, blossoming period, yield
W inter- injury, and storage endurance
OF 40 varieties of apple, more or less
commonly grown throughout New Eng

HOW =:

HOW -
LARGE CONCRETE BRIDGE
WAS BUILT UNDER TENT
BY enclosing the entire work in
a 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 Is 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 a link, is a
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, 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 snow
storm followed by severe cold
lasting several 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 it might be
practicable to house in only one
or two spans at time. The
same method could be applied
to the construction Of long
walls and other relatively mar
row structures by housing in
successive sections"

NOES PELT STONES
AT SIRInE BREAKERS
Traction Company Attempts To Run
cars-Windows Smashed BY
Missiles

Troy, April I23.-Resumption of
trolley service n Rensselaer, yester.
day and last night for the first time
since the United Traction strike start
ed was marked by ston ng of cars
and a general display of resentment
on the part of residents
Three trips were made at night
and the cars in each instance were
stoned and all W widows broken.
Stones. br cks and other missiles were
hurled at the cars as they passed
alons Third street
Much Of the stoning was done from
roofs along Third street.
Other cars were stoned at o'clock
In the morning and at 8 O'Clock.
So far as could be learned only
one PASSENGER was carried during the
day and night, sN Y%El@
Police Cnief Thomas Fahey had
nine men on duty along the trolley
line, but no policemen were riding
on the cars as in other, cities in the
strike zone when service was being
resumed. ts
Harry Davis, the conductor who
made the first trip, is one of the
original strikebreakers, and is an ex-
pert on open ng up lines. He said he
would open up the Arbor Hill line in
Albany when the traction company
resumes service on that route
Two cars were operated during the
day on a twenty minute schedule, but
at night the company ran only one
car until about O'Clock, when an
other had to be substituted because
of the battered condition of the troll.

members on the board had intended
the transfer and had known OF the
soliciting OF the teachers.
Dr. G. a. Beck asked the question
as 20 what right any one had 90
place a piano or other musical in

He said such had been done at 10
