M. B. Parsons is genial sort of
individual and like most men he has
birthday once year. 1t so happened
that February came last Saturday
this wear. Mrs. Parsons like most
faithful wives desired to perpetrate
surprise on hubby and enlisted the wit,
skill and ingenuity of Mrs. Mamie
Bergh to carry out the plan. M. B.
in the meantime, knowing that he was
about to reach another milestone was
rather suspicious and became rather
snupy, peering here and there to see if
he could find any cake, turkey, Ice
! cream-he used eyes. ears and nose IN
an effort to locate something, but all in
vain so he made up his mind that the
great event was to be pulled off at L.
Fl. Atkins and then when Tom invited
some of his country friends up to sup
per and they accepted. poor M. b. was
of the opinion that there was nothing
doing. so he walked leisureiy home
and when he arrived in the dining
room and found seated at the table
such an array legal. financial, profess
sional, musical, ecclesiastical and busi-
ness talent before him it was most too
much for his weak nerves for the time
being. He soon recovered from the
shock when he beheld the grand dis
play of the good things that reach a
mans heart and the hungry guests
longing to show their appreciation OF
good cooking, he soon got busy and
did ample justice to the efforts OF the
ladies in charge. Those present were:
F. H. Kickoff, R. Stenger, Ross WOOD,
Chas. G. Smith, T. H. Akin, X. l..
Austin. C. L. Flanders. The guests
are all pledged to secrecy as to the
number of candles on the cake and the
birthday superintendent of the bapt'st
Sunday school will NOT tell how many
nennies went into the birthday box.

SKYSCPiPCR BUILT on STILLS
New York Arch tects Are Putting up
Zig 5tructur: With Seemingly
Slender Supports.

A great complicated s!;yscraper IL
being built In New York under unusual
conditions. directly above the railroad
tracks Of a busy terminal. The tracks
running beneath It's walls in some
places are dOuble.decked, so that trains
pass on two levels through the base
mcnt OF the building. The entire struc-
turc rests upon slender stills, extending
between the tracks down to bedrock.
A unique method has been found for
isolaling these uprights so that the
constant rumbllng of heavy trains on
beth levels causes not the slightest
vibration In the building above.
This construction, including the dig
glng for the foundation and the cree.
tlon Of the building. Is being carried
on without affecting the movement Of
trains beneath The entire weight OF
the skyscraper rests upon the sup
ports rising between the tracks, which
are spaced In the usual way. Although
capable OF supporting 20 or more
stories. these stills seem surprisingly
slender. Both track levels beneath
the building are remarkably free from
Instructions. so that engineers have a
clear view Of other tracks to either
side.
II was at first believed that only
structures Of six or eight stories could
be safely supported on such founda-
tons. \ series of tests. including the
measurements Of vibration caused by
the passing Of trains. proved that
buildings could safely be raised TO 20
stories IN these supports. Excaya-
tons for foundations have been car
rled down until the beams rest upon
solid rock. The whole operation has
lecn carried on without upsctting train
schedules.
Each column supporting the building
Is completely Isolated. II Is not enough
Ia keep il from touching the founda-
tions on which The tracks lie. II also
must be protected by vibration mats
from the rock on which 1t rests. So
that vibrations from passing trains
will not affect It.

the driver SIMPLY has to push down
with both feet and both brakes are
applied; the clutch also is disengaged.
There is no need to tumble around
for hand lever-which is usually
hidden by somebody's knees--and
both hands are free TO operate the
steering wheel We believe this is
one OF the greatest factors contribut-
ed towards safe and easier motor car
operation.
THE short but oasy-toreach REQ
gear shift rod Is located well over to
the drivers side Of the seat. and far
enough back ON the floor board 50
that there IS no obstruction betweeI
the driver and the right fore door.
THE ease and comfort thus afford
ed the other occupant on the drivers
seat is obvious. A clearer front
compartment enables one to leave or
enter the car easily and danger of
catching or tearing the clothes on
protruding objects Is eliminated. In
fact. with the front compartment
cleared in this manner the front seat
easily accommodates three persons
without crowding and without incon-
