MOTORISTS WELCOME NEWS OF
WIDER BRIDGE At FARNHURST
PENNSYLVANIA R.R. COMPANY
AGREES. TO BUILD NEW BRIDGE
New and Wider Traffic Bridge Will
Cost $4,000 and State Highway
Department Will Pay Half of Cost

Preliminary work on the new con-
crete overhead bridge at Farnhurst
probably will be started in July. The
work will be done under the supervis-
ion of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.,
and about September a temporary
bridge will be erected over the rail-
road tracks and may allow only one
way traffic The bridge, which will
replace a wooden two-lane traffic span,
will cost about $4,000, for which the
State Highway Department will pay
one-half the cost. There is also an
agreement between the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and the Highway
Department for the construction of an
underpass road at Newport, which
will cost about $160,000, one-half the
cost of which the state will pay. The
underpass may not be constructed for
at least a year and half. The rail
road company will present the plans
and specifications to the Highway De-
partment for its approval, and the
former will then ask for bids. The
new bridge will be 40 feet wide, with
sidewalks Owing to the failure OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
Engineers to comply with the requests
of the State Highway Department
concerning the bridge at Farnhurst,
the matter had been delayed for a
long time For two years negotiations
have been going forward between the
Railroad Company and the Highway
Department. One Of the questions un-
der consideration was a detour or a
temporary bridge over the tracks. c.
D. Buck, chief engineer for the high
way department, pointed out that with
the extra heavy travel expected this
summer, particularly on Sunday even
ings, the returning motorists coming
up the State Highway will travel two
abreast each way. If they do, when
the line has to thin out approaching
the bridge to one-course traffic
there are likely to be collisions and
mishaps The railroad company want
ed all traffic over the bridge cut of
while the bridge is under construction

A FAREWELL
8. HIKE
BY Lucy Lowell

TTIIS is the time of year when
i 1t is wise to plan for the last
of the summers journeys into
the woods and fields; the last
weekend in the country before
Jack Frost swoops upon the
gardens. laying low all the brave
flowers and setting flame to the
foliage.
These are the days when the
air takes on a new amazing clear
ness. when it seems charged
with such white. scintillating
light that you feel as If you were
living on the inside Of crystal.
There is a new and vivid gold in
the sunshine and never have skies
been so sapphire blue. The vii
lage green finally has reached
that emerald velvet perfection
promised all Summer and only
now fulfilled when hint of au-
tumn's tang is on the breeze
early mornings and after the sun
sinks in the west.
The woods still are flying their
green banners, building leafy cav
ems of mystery beneath deeply
III LII 49,
and there you find yellow midst
the green; sometimes only bough
which has turned and sometimes
q. sapling whose leaves are the
color of ripe pumpkin. And in
a place where marsh stretches
for many miles high on noun
tain plateau there are naples
which look as IL all the rouge
pots in the world had been emp
tied upon their branches.
If you plan to hike along the
country roads some bright Satur-
day, you will find the first hours
OF morning enrolling before your
eyes like an endless and superbly
lovely piece OF tapestry.
Noon will blaze down upon
your head as IL trying to con-
vince you that July is back, but
twilight will put a velvet softness
in the air and dream-Iike quality
in the very sound of the breeze.
BY all means visit the country
before summer Is gone!

wedding Problems
. MRS REECKMAN:

1. After receiving an engage
ment ring, what length of time
should elapse before announcing
the engagement in the newspa-
pers? A great many of my
friends have seen the ring, and
the wedding is not to take place
for at least year.
9. A friend wants to give me a
shower soon, but as / will not be
married for a year, would that
be proper?
8. Would it be proper for me
to have an afternoon church we'd
ding, wearing white dress with
veil. and leave on trip I'M
mediately, after changing to
travelling dress, without holding
a reception or wedding breakfast
H. w.
The fact that you are wearing
your engagement ring means that
you wish to announce your en-
gagement. So, if you wish to
have an announcement of your
engagement in the newspapers
you should give it out as soon as
possible after you begin to wear
the ring.
2. 1t would be far better to
have the shower nearer the date
of your marriage.
3. Yes, this is correct. You do
not need to have a reception if
you do not wish to.

GALVANIC
CLEANING

An economical and direct method
of removing tarnish from sterl-
ing silver Of bright finish which
has lain unused for a long time, is
contained in the, Ealvanic system,
which may be employed in the fol-
lowing way:
Make solution containing or.
teaspoon of soda and one Of salt
for each quart OF boiling water.
Pour this solution IN an aluminium
pan and allow the sterling to re-
main thoroughly immersed for
few moments. The chemical action
which takes place removes all Of
the tarnist.
Take the sterling out Of the
solution, wash it in warm water
and soapsuds. rinse in clear water
and rub with a channels or polish
ing cloth.
This method cannot be used IL
the sterling has gray or oxid-
lied finish.
Sterling pieces too large to be-
slbmersed in the pan. can be done

The comparatively recent dis

Approximately ten thousand
