BORING THRU ROCK
 FOR WATER SUPPLY
Gigantic Project Being Carried
 Out by City Of Waterbury

Construction of several miles of tunnel through solid rock--one of the biggest projects of the kind un- der way in New England since the building of the Hoosac tunnel--is being carried out near Waterbury,,
 The second mile of the cty's Shopaug water supply development has been nearly completed, accord ing to the Waterbury American, which gives the following details;
 "A total of S,2SS feet of tunneling has been accomplished at the city's Shepaug additional water supply development, and the work is pro- gressing more satisfactorily than at any time since City Engineer Cairns started the mammoth task of har- messing up the Shepaugt river with the city's present reservoir system three years ago. .Atltbe present rate of speed and efficiency, it will not be a long time before the second mile of tunneilng is completed.
 The work of tunneling from the Shepaug end of the tunnel has been abandoned for the present with the tunneS drilled through to a depth of $500 feet. This tunnel will be left as 1t is, it is thought, until the tunnel now being worked from two ends

on the vest and Fernlanagh, Tyrons runs northeastward between Donegal and Londoderry on the east 10 Lough Foyle, an inlet at the very top of the island, Tho State of Northern Ireland, Nherefore, oc- cupies only small segment in the northeastern corner of Ireland. Re- adjustment of tho boundary as de- sired by the Free State would con- centrate tho northern division still closer into the northeast corner.
 Though small in territory the State of Northern Ireland has a concentrated population Its area is less than one-sixth that of Ireland but 1t contains more than quarter of the islands inhabitants.
 "The United States has moro than an academic interest in all that af- fects Ireland. Two of the most inn portant streams of Immigration that have reached America came from the island; one the so-called Scotch Irish from Ulster; the other, the IT, ish from south Of the Ulster line The Scotch Irish early felt the weight of oppressive English laws both in the religious and economic fields. They began emlgrating tt America in large numbers during the latter part of thes1Sth century ana it is estimated that they made IT one,sixth of all the colonists by thu time of the American Revolution They were prominent in that strug -gle and later became the fronties men, playing an important part il winning the Middle West and th' West.
 "The main stream of immigration from Southern Ireland Took place il | the l 9th century The genius of th
 newcomers for politics has made 1t
 self felt in local, state and nationa
 governments.

near the Bantam river Is connected up with it. Already the tunnel has been drilled through 1000 feet from the Bantam River: q third tunnel, started only a flow days ago at Pitch Valley to connect with the one from Bantam River has been cut through 35 feet.
 Both day and night work is being !. performed by large gangs of work men, who, arc nov working in a system which callsN for them per- forming so much work each day. If they finish this work in eight hours, which Is tho usual time, 1t takes them, they are through for the day, If they do the same work In siS hours, which sometimes happens in good dry weather. they are through just the same. If 1t takes them pore than the eight hours they must complete the work without extra pay during the extra time it takes them. The result Is that all of the

 one of the remarkable features In connection with the big job is the fact that despite the size of the job there hasn't been a single death from accident; nor has 6 single workman had as much as a finger seriously hurt. Tons of dynamite have been used thus far and the other hazards Of tunneling have been met with most remarkable luck. Pneumonia, which Is one of the big gest hazards of tunneilng has claim cd only one victim, although several workmen have suffered from It dur ing the three years of work"

Mary Jones Pirate Party

It was just like regular tag, only
you couldn't be tagged il you had
your feet off the ground. You could
grab only tree limbs and fences to
escape, you know.
I'VE played q couple of other
games, and then we had a treasure
hunt, which was the most fun of
anything. and Mary Jane had worked
it out SO cleverly., You see she had
packed up q little picnic lunch fer
each one, putting them In separate
bags, all tied up. Then shs'd hidden
them somewhere about the house and
yard, in the most out OF the way
places, and each had 4 guests name
on it. Some were buried in boxes in
the ground and some were in hollow
trees, some were in closets. in the
house. Every person was given . lit
tie card which directed him to q GER
tain spot where he found another
card, hidden under a stone or some
leaves or something. That card d.
rected him to another hiding place
where he found another card Of di-
rections and so on for about four
cards apiece, and then he finally
found the treasure. Some of them
had a terrible time and had to go
back to the start and retrace their
steps. found mine about the hrst,
think.

Doubling on Duty.

Alice hated to wash dishes and she
hated to study her spelling. Every
night after dinner she had to do
both. Alice dearly loved to read
story books, but by the time she had
bathed the dishes and learned every
word in her spelling lesson she u.s.
ually had only Z few minutes left
before bedtime in which to read.
If Alice tried to hurry with the
dishes her mother complained the
next day that she didn't get them
clean. If she tried to learn her
spelling in half the time she went to
the foot of her class next day as .
result.
One evening Alice spread q paper
under the table while she washed
the dishes, because the door had been
newly scrubbed and she had a bad
habit Of splashing soapsuds. AS she
stood there her eye fell upon the
letters Of q big advertisement "Are
you a drudge?" was the first SEN
tence. do you spend all your time
doing unpleasant things? Have you
q one-track mind, and can you do
only one thing at once?" Then it
went on to tell about book on ef-
ficiency. But that was enough for
Alice. She had an idea.
'T won't be q drudge" she cried.
It'll have a two-track mindT" Dry
ing her hands, Alice took q big sheet
Of paper and copied her spelling les.
son on it in big letters. Then she
pinned the sheet on the wall in front
OF her dishpan. While she washed
the silver she learned the first word.
Whom the plates were done she knew
the next two. BY the time the last
pan was dried she knew every word
perfectly and the clock showed that
q whole hour was left for reading
her story book.
