orful history one of the outstanding
periods Of which was his life as a
free Negro before the Civil War. His
rules for long life are; Go to
Church; do not argue with wo-
man. A woman has got to talk and
when she does--go away and lot
her alone until she gets over the
spell; Man is boss Of everything,
just as long as he can keep his nerve
and look them in the eye. He can
look lion in the eye and bluff him.
But If he loses his nerve, Lord help
him. f-r
then. do all the homework and
cooking on Sundays. That's the way
a man should do.
Live right and be right.
Do lots of hard work, it won't
hurt you. Sleep regularly. | 20 to

up at four the year around.
Laugh whole lot-and be friend
to everybody.

Georgia Youths Going
Crazy

ATLANTA, Ga.-(By A. N. p. y
The younger generation of white
Georgians is going insane, according
to records kept at the insane asylum
at Milledgville, due largely to too
much jazz, too many white lights and
not enough of the old common, sense
wav of living.
Pocket TASKS, sex magazines, pam
pered children who need liberal doses
Of the back side of the hair brush,
dances, high powered automobiles
and too much speed generally are
given as the reasons for the increase
in the number of "child lunatics."
While this view is conceded in re-
spect to the young whites in the
cities, it can in no way account for
the great number of insane and queer
persons found in the hills and on the
countrysides. This number is alarm
ing, the report states.

Notable Projects In
u. S. Handled BY
Northwest Company

Some Of the most gigantic con
~srruction projects in the United
States have been the work of a
Pacific Northwest organization. One
Of the most spectacular engineering
achievements, the Twin Falls-Jeromc
bridge in Idaho, the highest in the
world, was the work or the Puget
Sound Bridge and Dredging com
pany.
Another outstanding bridge
achievement Of this company is the
famous steel span over the Colum-
bia river at Cascade, Ore. This span
j. 1870 feet long, extending across
the river gorge az a point whore
tire supposed natural bridge Of the
Gods once stood.
Dating from 1889, this company's
operations has included many big
construction jobs. great bridges, sky
scrapers. Industrial plants. reclama-
ton projects, channel and har5or dc
velopments, etc. The filling in OF
the great area in Seattle south of
the railway depots involved handling
approximately 25.O0O. 900 cubic yards
Of material by their dredges. The
Dexter Horton building, Seattle, ~
an example of another phase Of the
company's work. The bridge project
now completed at Brownsville and
other operations in Canada and
Alaska illustrate the range Of this
organization activities.

Nations Bridges Tell
Story of Progress

The highest, longest and largest
bridges Of the world are in America,
and according to economic authori-
ties. are necessary and typical Of
American progress. The process OF
overcoming natural barriers is IN
der way and has been accomplished
by large construction companies.
The most spectacular engineering
feats Of the age are such works as
the Twin Falls-Jerome bridge in
Idaho, the Bridge Of the Gods,
across the Columbia river; the mile
long Camden-Philadelpkia bridge
with the largest span in the world,
and even the old Brooklyn bridge
in New York City.
Others are being planned, such as
the proposed span across the Golden
Gate in San Francisco, and one pro-
jeoted to connec New York and
New Jersey across the Hudson river
at 179th street. Each Of these, it
is estimated, will have a span twice
the length Of any span exising to-
day.
