Society girls and matrons appeared,
each representing a particular sport.
There were tennis, golf, football, can

The average man hasn't time te
watch the world go by. -And it isn't I
profitable for him te have it go by. Ills
job is te keep up with it, or even move
a little faster than the rest of the par
adeIf he can.
Tn New Yerk they hayc been long
talking of building an underground
moving sidewalk.
' This is a scries of wide platforms.
The fiiwt, nearest the stationary side
walk, 'moves very slowly. One can
step en it without being jerked off his
feet". The second gees a little faster,
and the third, or pe'rhnps fourth, moves
at the rate of an ordinary trolley cnr.
Thus by degrees the imsscnger can
get into the swift current of this me
chanical stream and get te where, he is
eeinir in n short time.
Near his destination, he must pre
pare te return by degrees te a gait
from which he can reach the station

"Weedman, Spare That Tree," Was
Written in Their Shadow

The two tyearaore trees, mero than 300
years old, under which Geerge Pepe
Merris wrote bis famous poem, "Wood "Weed
man, Spare Tbat Tree," have been cut
down te prevent their falling. They
died two years age.
"Weedman, spare that tree;
Touch net a single bough,
In ynuih It sheltered me.
AjkI I'll protect It new."
This appeal, which has been nn elo
cutionary effort of countless schoolboys,
went unheeded with grim reality, as
axes cut deep into the trunks, branches
were cut, boughs sawed and movie cam
craw clicked.

the old Woodward mansion in West
Twenty -second street, In which a llrlt
Isb general hid and later escaped dur

Many persons assumed from this news item that the build
ing was of reinforced concrete construction. In order tc
correct this impression we wish te say that the theatre
walls were of tile, the supporting members of the reef
were structural steel trusses and the reef covering was
cinder concrete.
There is no evidence of inferiority or failure of the con
crete te perform its service. As stated in the Engineering
News Recerd, issue of Feb. 2nd, 1922:
"The real trouble is unquestionably te be sought in the
structure itself; . . . expansion and contraction
movement of the steel-work are being considered as a
possible cause of creep of the main truss en its wall
support, leading te its final unseating'
