OR seventy yea! Frooklyn Bridge, which was the Kinds of City of or more hefore constru¢tion was even begun on the first bridge to spon the East River, all arguments were advanced in opposition to what many weil intentioned citizens considered not only an absurd undertaking but one which would result in everlasting ruin to the best interests of the City of New York. In January, 1870, work on the foun- dations of the Brooklyn Bridge tow- ers was begun. On May 24, 1883, the bridge was opened to the public. Bince that time the city has con- structed three more great bridges across the East River and to-day More than 1,000,000 people and 70,000 vehicles, in addition to subway, ele- vated and surface cars, use these four bridges every twenty-four hours. When one considers that the com- bined population of half dozen or more States or the entire population of the State of Connecticut does not equal the number of persons who use the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williams- burg and Queensboro Bridges every Gay it may seem rather far-fetched to say that for generations the tdea of bridging the Hast River was oonsidered muc! visionary and tmpossibie than the recently advanced idea of extending Manhattan Island @outh from the Battery for five or six miles. The New York Mirror, one of the substantial newspapers of those days, in a representative editorial published in 1829, said that an East River bridge project was again be- ing agitated to amuse if not to de- ceive and gull the public. The edi- torial predicted dire calamity and went on to say: “To allow a merchant ship to pass under it without striking her top- Wasts it would be necessary to ele- vate it not less than 100 feet above the water, besides the risk and diff- culty there would be of passing be- tween piers. Who would mount over @uch a structure when a passage eould be effected in a much shorter Ume, and that, too, without exertion or trouble in a safe and well sheltered more steamboat? “But these are minor considera- tions. The first great point that alls for serious and deep deliberation js the effect that would be produced en the harbor; and we should hardly enppose that any one would be 50 wanting in foresight as not to per- ceive that it would be both blighting and ruinous to the mercantile inter- ests. “How distressing it would be to witness the shocking deformity—nay, the almost wanton destruction of 50 fine a haven; one on which nature bas been so prodigal of her bounties as she has been lavish of her beau- ties. It must be borne in mind, too, that by the time another generation shall be upon the stage of action every part of the East River until it approaches Hurl Gate will be re- quired for the accommodation of shipping and smaller water craft; aud to interpose any artificial im- yediment to the easy and unrestricted communication of vessels, especially those of the larger ss, would evince a degree of folly, not to say madness, that would deserve to be denounced in the strongest terms of reprehension and severity.” ‘The excited editor of the Mirror suid farther that no man in his rational senses doubted that the building of @ bridge world bo a signal for the imme- te removal of the navy yard, and he ended his long editorial on the sub- fect with this warning to his readers: “et the citizens look to these things im season and be prepared to express their marked disapprobation of a proposition fraught with incalculable mischief--unless, indeed, it may be their wish to adhere to * * * a policy which, in defiar:ce of the plain indiea- tions and liberal provisions of nature, creates and entails Agel deformity d nameless incurable evils.” rhe fight for a bridge over the East River went on for years and the netural barrier of the river continued to retard the growth and development on the Long Island side, 90 that in apite of its proximity to the growing metropolis of the new world, Brooklyn and the entire area now included in Queens Borough had Jess than 700,000 residents when the Brooklyn Bridge was opened in 1883. panos the Bus: ceeding twenty years, before any sub- ways - tunnels were built, the same area increased over 100 per cent, To- Brooklyn and Queens have more 2,500,000 residents. ‘nthe four bridges have a total length of about five and a quarter miles, The Queensboro Bridge is of the can- tilever type of construction, the othe three being suspension bridges. Each of these has four cables, and if the wires in these cables were stretched pat they would reach over 55,000 miles, sufficient to reach more than twice around the earth at the equator or extend eighteen times across the United States, from New York to San neisco. Wine four bridges cost nearly $98,- 900,000, but considering the increase ‘m real estate values and consequent returns to the city in annual taxes which can be directly traced to them, the investment has been among the pest the municipality has ever made. ‘Since 1913 careful counts have been ‘of ali traffic on the bridges on chert days in October of each year e One of the most marked changes in the character of the traffic is to be found in the number of motor and horse-drawn vehicles using the four bridges. In 1913 there were 11,316 motor vehicles and 13,048 horse-drawn vehicles counted in one day of twenty-four hours. In 1919 the motor vehicles had increased to 53,604, and those drawn by horses had decreased to 9,524. In other words, the motor cars had increased nearly 400 per cent., while the horse showed a de- crease of over 27 per cent. The complete figures for this year are not as yet compiled, but it is safe to say that nine or ten times as many motor vehicles use the bridges now as horse-drawn trucks. In a few years from now there will be no horses, and the problem of pavement on’ the bridges will be simplified and the cost of maintenance materially reduced. Granite block on the approaches and plank on the roadways to give the horses a foothold will give way to smooth pavemens easily negotiuicd by motor vehicles. if the editor of 1829 could have spent twenty-four hours on the Bast River bridges when the figures in the latest available report were collected, he would have counted 13,797 elevated and subway cars, 16,447 surface rail- Way cars and 62,740 vehicles. The elevated and subways had 607,644 pas- sengers, the street railways, 328,421; there were 119,613 passengers in vebi- cles and 6,973 pedestrians, The total crossing the four bridges during one day was 1,062,651. The traffic was dis- tributed as follows: Brooklyn Bridge, 23.4 per cent.; Mavhattan Bridge, 28. per cent.; Williasnsburg Bridge, 38. per cent. Queensboro Bridge, 10.3 per cent. Counting the four East River bridges, the city has 42 bridges in all over navigable streams, These bridges cost a grand total of $121,091,408.70. Based on the official count for 24 hours, the number of people using the bridges in New York City in one year will exceed 600,000,000. Needless to state that this is more than one-third of all the people on the face of the earth, which Is some people.

Itis entirely out of keeping with what we would have expected from the beauti- ful face and well kept Hands. It ts just as if a lovely picture had been spoiled. It strikes on our conscious- ness like a discordant note. Indeed, there is nothing thut gives an im- pression of a carcless or hurried toilet so quickly as does an ili-kept back of the neck when the texture of the skin is rough or marred by pimples or blackheads or even if the color }s out of harmony with the general tint of the flesh of the face. It is utterly impossible for me to give you directions for a massage only and not take into consideration the tmportant relation the digestive organs, the general circulation and the scrupulous attention to the daily bath have in connection with the ap- pearance of the baok of the neck. It seems as if the slightest disturbance of the digestive organs first shows it- self in the impurities of the blood by causing little eruptions and pimples to break out on the back of the neck. So I warn you that it ts impossible to vlear up the color of the skin, to ban- ish eruptions and pimples, unless you give up indiscretions in the matter of diet and at the same time are faith- OK POHL, LUIGI SE DMD i The Housewife's Scrapbook A glass bottle can be quickly cleaned by chopping @ potato very fine and putting it into the bottle with warm water.

If you are annoyed by the edges of the Brussels rug rolling upward apply a good coat of glue on wrong side and Jet it dry before turning i ful in persevering in the after-bath rubs which should follow the daily bath. Another cause for these unsightly blemishes is the wearing of fur close to the neck. The care of a fur collar is a serious matter when you consider it in {ts relation to the skin. It should be well brushed and aired and every trace of dust and grease_re- moved before it is again worn. This Httle attention will help preserve the skin and also add a great length of time to the life of the fur piece. Notice the position of the hands in the illustration. It is very important that you massage the back of the neck every night, starting with the hands as low as illustrated so as to increase the circulation along the spinal column. This gives an elas- ticity to the pores of the skin, help- ing them to retract and contract nat- urally so that they will not become enlarged and permit dust or any other Impurity to remain embedded in the skin. There are usually two conditions to be met with at the back of the neck. In a very thin person there are hol- tows that give a scrawny appearance and in the stout person there 1s a lump of fat that must be worn away.

But for every couple that gets mar- ried in a love-and-kisses show, play- wrights grab enough material for a dozen problem plays. The trouble with matrimony is plurt When girl bargains for love, honor and obey, she always wants one-third off. That's what every bridegroom knows. When there ‘is any obeying to be done, husband gets plenty of love and honor. For marriage is a verbal contract. And verbal contract is not worth the paper it's written on. a Reason modern bride takes her husband's name is so she can opéi charge accounts. And first year might not seem the hardest if it didn't contain the usual twelve months, with bad news itemized and — delivered by postman. That's what every husband knows.
