Bridg es and *1*?* will have to be replaceu factories and other buildings repair ed or replaced. It wili take counties, millions of dollars to set thing* lighi. Steel and concrete will be ilscu where wood answered before. xha,; will mako-snoro business and eiqploy in all the oottHnwtioti and building! ** \ trades. IJhia will mean real employment, o. work tW must be done ami that it. better for everybody concerns titan "made" work. It seems to uk that tibe floods may turn out to be blessing in disguise, by Lwifin^ up a lot at' the siftck in industrial employ mont. BAIDCHBS .the doctor The old-fashioned covered bridge, of which quite a number survive in the Ea?t, have always fascinated me. Tihe early settlers "housed in" their wooden bridges to keep the road way free from snow and joe. It didn't matter so much if a horse or wagon slipped sideways off the high way, but a loaded wagon on a slippery bridge could easily go "through the guardrail into the river.) One of my boyhood memories is of a flood that washed away ,the flooring and superstructure of an old covered bridge near my home. Our village doctor had been sent for on tan emci gency call, aero? the river, but could not! set out utviil long after dark. He saddled his horse, and rode off through | the rain., Not until after he had crossed the river did he learn that the bridge was "out", A miracle? No, just^Laccident. The sure-footed horse Happened to hit one of 18-inch "stringers" that were all tcluut was left of the bridge, and walked across in the dark like a tigbfc-rope performer I niE wet hay I am watahing now for reports of Ares in barns, along the river valleys where the flood water has gone down. They always follow when hay in the | barn has been thoroughly soaked, nn leaB tt is spread and given a cfhanco to (ty ou<v i'. Spontaneous combustion from tii3 heat generated by damp hay in the bottom of the mow started scores of barn fires in northern New England after itfhe la.?lfc big flood we had, nine years agot , Not all the fires 'wertf spontaneous, either, en insuranoe man told me, through proof to the contrary was hard to establish- Few cotopwues write flood insurance policies, and few farmers wpo?d pay thfm, anyway. But they all carry fire insurance. Some day, in iffc^:|perf^'fc?*M perhaps, we will all Hve in houses as fireproof as were the caves of oor an ?esfcort*, and to build a barn of wood will to* jail Funeral Rites Held f Soft Incites Probe For A.
