called a piston. This covers the en-

of sliding plates backed by canvas

well along it's outer edge and pressed
firmly against the sides by counter
weights The radial trusses, visible
in the picture, are braced to make the
piston rigid.
With a floating piston in an air
tight tank, no difficulty is experienced
in raising the 1900 ton weight of roof
and piston. After three or four sec
tions of side plates have been placed
on the holder and have been rivesed
in position so that they are air tight
and gas tight, the compressed air
blowers force afr under the piston
and both piston and roof rise to the

Although at first glance it does look
like it, the steel construction in the
accompanying picture is not the skel-
eton of huge merry-go-round waiting
for its initial trip. As a matter Of
fact, it doesn't go around; it goes up.
This steel framework is part of the
huge 100000 cubic foot gas holder
being built in Harrison for Public
Service Electric and Gas Company.
Before there were any sides to the
holder, before it had any such thing
as height, this sloping roof, fifty-two
feet higher in The center than at the
sides, was built ard temporarily bolt
ed to the piston 1t viii be carried
up on the piston as the structure
grows.
While it has twenty-eight straight
sides, the holder in principle is that

ed in position and again the roof and
piston are raised by compressed air
to the top of the completed work.
This process is repeated until the de-
sired height is reached.
When the entire framework and
side plates are in position, the roof
will be lifted off the piston and
fastened to the holder columns. By
releasing the air, the piston will be
lowered and when all the air is out
the holder will be ready to be filled
with gas. Thereafter. the piston will
rise as gas is pumped in at the base
of the holder; as gas is exhausted
into the service mains, the piston will
sink. Always, however, it will float
on and be supported by the gas.

For their mothers had only had them
very short time and hadn't had much
time to train them.
But they behaved so well that each
mother was proud of her doll child
Each mother sat back of her doll
and when Pam would say:
Miss Doll, will you have some more
chicken salad?" the dolls mother
would bend the doll forward 50 as to
make a littlebow, and the dolls moth
er would say in squeaky little voice,
which of course was the maksbelieve
voice of the doll:
THANK you, very much, Miss Pam,
1 would greatly enjoy a little more
chicken salad"
So the doll was given two more
buttons upon her little pink plate.
And will you have some more
cocoa?" Pam asked the other doll
guest, and the other doll guests moth
er bent her forward and answered for
her:
Thank you SO much. 1t Is really
delicious"
None of the dolls fell over on their
plates, as sometimes bsdly-behaved
dolls do.
And none of them spoke out Of turn
or forgot to say Thank you," or I'm
much Obliged" or, This is so good.
Won't you tell me how you make such
nice cake?"
1t was such beautiful party for the
New Year. Everything was so new
in addition to the year being a new
one
The china was new. The dolls were
new. The party dresses were new.
And the manners were so perfect
they seemed new, too.
After the dolls had finished eating,
the three mothers had delicious sup
per which PANS mother made.
And as great surprise PANS moth
er gave the children some dishes she
had been given when she was little
girl and which she had saved all these
years.
They were so pretty and old-fash-
toned, and they were really quite good
sized.
They all thought they were really
beautiful.
After a time the dolls were dressed
in their coats and hats to be taken
home, and each doll shook hands very
with Pam and PANS mother
and PANS doll.
OF course they had to be helped a
little, bat none Of them put their
hands behind their backs. saying:

Pam had been given q beautiful doll

friends had been given dolls, too. And
Pam had been given a wonderful trunk
for her dolls clothes. Her father had

robe trunk because all of the dolls
clothes could be hung up or put into
drawers just as though In a wardrobe.
1t was a splendid trunk.
And she had also been given a love
ly set Of pink dishes by Santa Claus
On New Years day her mother had
told her she could have a party. Her
mother had made her new doll a pref
ty new party dress to wear.
1t was really and truly party dress
with ribbons and lace and lots Of trim
ming.
Pam invited her two best friends to
come and bring their dolls.
AT three o'clock they arrived.
They dressed and undressed their
dolls, and the dolls didn't seem to
mind in the least.
They played shopping and house
keeping and going-away-on-a-visit, and
all sorts of lovely games.
Then the dolls were dressed once
again in their best party clothes, and
Pam brought out the little pink dishes
upon which were little buttons and
empty spools, and the dolls had very
delicious make-believe tea.
They all sat up by the pink dishes
and they all behaved beautifully and
were a great credit to their mothers.
