Shine, I director of the Department of Public Safety, says it is not likely that vacancies in the police department will be filled. Woodbridge police have the first radio in the county, and its operation will be closely watched.

Indications are that the radio question will be considered in time to provide for the cost in the 1936 budget.

George Randolph Chester was another novelist who was always able to take care of himself swapping plots for pelf. Some of his Wallingford tales got the biggest prices ever paid up to that time. And they ran longer than any series. The late Arthur Somers Roche was known as much for his ability as the sanctums have it, "to mace editors" as he was for mystery plots. Kathleen Norris in the feminine division has bracketed herself at the top.

Katherine Brush is a shrewd business lady, too. Tributes Paid in Editorials To Gustav Lindenthal torney Fred W. Devoe solved the problem. He sent the patient friend a night letter. SHOWERED SAM WITH POSTCARDS Postcards, dozens of them, written by girls from the Throop Avenue playground, flooded the office of Commissioner Samuel D.

Hoffman from Wat-chung Lake the other day. "Wish you were here," and "Having a fine time," along with other time-honored messages were on the postcards, all the work of the individual senders. The postcards were sent in appreciation of Commissioner Hoffman's efforts in having buses provided for the children instead of trucks. Before the summer is over all boys and girls from the playgrounds throughout the city will have enjoyed a day at the lake.

A MASTER BRIDGE BUILDEP The late Gustav Lindenthal, one of the world's greatest bridge builds. remained a dreamer een at th He did construct the Hell Git? Bridge over the East River connecting the Pennsylvania and New Haven railroads, marked by genius, and also many another lesser span.

More than the members of other professions a bridge builder A DREAM UNFULFILLED In engineering history the name of Gustav Lindenthal will live as that of a daring and gifted builder whose works attest his ability. He had a full and useful life; yet his one great ambition was unfulfilled, for the bridge he planned to cross the North River was never built. When Mr. Lindenthal planned that mighty structure not only a part of the public but even members of own profession questioned its practicability; the triumphs of construction that are accepted now as commonplaces had not been trained popular faith to accept the promises of engineers at their face value.

Yet Mr. Lindenthal never lost confidence, and never accepted defeat. He spent hs time and his energy unstintedly in seeking support, in winning official approval, in over- coming opposition. Several times if seemed as though he had achieved success, that the bridge between New Jersey and New York for which he had toiled would be erected.
