night Of October Is for the title of

stiles. A farewell luncheon was ten
dered the orators at the McAlpin
Hotel by friends.
The girls would eat nothing at
lunch time without the advice Of Miss
Bradshaw. They fear seasickness.
and inasmuch as Miss Bradshaw has
been to Europe numerous times and
never suffered from this malady they
are relying upon her knowledge to
pull them through.

Let Mr. -Fixit present your case TO city
officials. He is The Times representative

Placing Of GrilIages.

At the present time the construc-
ton of the National Press Building
is almost complete up to the side
walk level. The grillages for the
structural steel are being concerted
in place, and next week the large
steel columns viii be seen going up.
Already one 15-ton steel derrick is
i'm place to handle this framework
and two more derricks of the same
size are to be placed.
The placing of the grillages are
being done with great care so that
no trouble will be encountered as
the framing is being erected. Each
grillage is located with an accuracy
of one sixteenth of an inch. The
steel is being fabricated by McClin-
tic. Marshall e. Co, in their Phila J.
delphia plant, and is to be erected
by Crawford Weigel Co. AS all
parts will come with rivet holes al
ready drilled to fit, the erectors are
not taking any chances of having
any misf1ts due to careless placing of
grillages.
The arrangements, negotiations,
etc. of this building have been ex-
tremely complicated, but the build
ing is going UP on time.

It is surprising that the bathrooms
