WORK CONTRACTED AT BIG saw

NINE BRIDGES

Contract awards for $50 miles OF
new crawling and other winter WORK
at low prices and call for bids Dec
% on nine new bridges for Minnesota
trunk highways toward taking further
advantage of favorable conditions and
shedding needed road improvements
were recently announced by Charles
M. Babcock, state highway commits
Sioner.
The work was let at as low figures
as a year ago, bids nearly 20 per cent
under engineers estimates, according
to John H. Mullen, assistant commits
..sioner. and, chief highway engineer:
Highway officials agreed that the low
figures furnish a strong argument :fol
issuing trunk bonds now to get needed
improvements at bargain rates. Many
bids from local contractors in many
parts of the state helped to make the
savings, and there was record-break-
ing competition, 60 bids being received
on one undertaking alone.
Tentative contract awards on gray
cling projects in the vicinity Of Sank
Centre are:
T. H. No. 3-South of West Union,
2 IL miles, Jurgensen Construction
Co., Sank Centre, at $2,523.
T. H. No. 4-North of Park Rapids,
9 miles, Schmit Construction Co.,
Brainerd, at $12,052.
T. H. No. 23-St. Cloud, Foley, IA
miles, Gatzenmeyer-Lenz Co., Min
neapolis, at $21 500.
T. H. No. 2S-Sauk Centre-West-
port, IL miles, Jurgensen Construc-
ton Co., Sank Centre, at $1S,425.

lis, at $15,062.
T. H. No. 30-Fergus Falls-Erhart,
Is miles, Johnson Bros. & Hanson,
Fergus Falls at $20,302
Awards are to be made final, high
way officials said, on the lowest and
best bids on each project.
On Trunk Highwty No. 81, east Of
Ada, a miles If grading with culverts
was awarded to M. w. Barnard, Min
neapolis, at $25,073; a 110-foot bridge
to Valley Construction Co., Stephen,
at $4,S15, and a 50-foot bridge to
Chernus Construction Co., Minneapo-
lis, at $8,277. Another special pro-
ject was a 35-foot bridge on T. H. No.
6 west of Ada, awarded to the Cher
nus Company at. $7,363. On third
for 2 IL miles of grading with cul-
-verts and 8 bridges on T. H. No. IL,
southwest of Chaska, bids were reject
ed and the work is to be readvertised
early next month under a different
layout. 4
The first exclusive call for bids on
important bridge improvement under
the Babcock plan was made public
by j. T. Ellison, assistant highway
commissioner and chief bridge engi-
neer. The six concrete and three steel
bridges are estimated to cost nearly
SITS. 900, he said and all are badly
needed on the trunk system. Some
steel structures are planned, he ex-
planned, to keep costs down and to
avoid unnecessary obstruction of
streams.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

1t has been suggested that the hill
in the South part of the city, which
now supports the newly erected water
tower, be christened Beacon Hip
hereafter, inasmuch as the water
tower has a beacon light on the top
of the tower which can be seen for
many miles in every direction. The
suggestion is not half bad one at
that.

"Pianists Must Be Born

Lightness of touch for the piano is
Unborn with some people; others may
acquire it, but in such cases ii will
be more or less artificial. On the
other hand some may never acquire
it. Loud-talking. boisterous people
will. in all likelihood. play loudly.
Coarse-grained, brusque people Of any
such play the piano at alp will not be
apt to play lightly and delicately.
One could scarcely imagine a young
man who wore a green shirt produc-
ing ideal tones from piano. So,
after all, it is largely matter Of
mentality and spiritual makeup. But
1t is also a matter Of finger and mus
tcular control. which may be secured
by judiciously chosen and intelligently
used eXercies.

1t Is a strange fact that the inv~teyate

active is laying up a decidedly unstable
foundation for middle age when she in

Candy is a greatly concentrated food I:
that IS, it contains a large amount of food
units or calOries per cubic inch. When
we eat candy we are taking in food at 4
fearful rate. One chocolate caramel, one
inch square, contains 100 food units.
When we eat square inch of fudge, we
are absorbing 100 food units also.
Persons who lead a more or less in
active life do not require nearly as many
food units to keep them healthy as the
person who works at hard manual labor
all day and uses up his tissues at a high
rate. An active person may use up 1900
or 1000 food units a day.
Only n big muscular man engaged in
manual labor all dav could use up $500
calOries a day. The inactive woman

MONEY.

W ARIOUS media of exchange were
v in use in ancient times, but the
earliest form of money seems to have
been a scrap of leather with a rude
picture of a COW on il. This was called
by the Latin word ''pecunia." derived
from ''pecus," the name of the animal
used in barter. Our present 'pecuni-
airy" comes from this root.
