The costly parapet walls are omitted, and in place a wooden balustrade is extended over the bridge. Instead of the usual complicated and expensive wing walls, the liarrel of the arch is extended straight out to intersect the plane of the embankment, where it terminates flush with the plane of the embankment, except that the sharp edge that would be formed by the intersection of the plane of the embankment and the inside of the arch surface is avoided quite simply by a set of short hoards set vertically and resting on the form that carries the arch barrel.

All of these points are made clear by the model. The saving in cost is in eliminating the parapet walls and the wing walks, with all the complicated forms which involve so much cutting of lumber and costly car- I ponter work. The design of the bridge is such jtliat the traveler on the highway above, except for the stream, would not know that he was passing over Loose Shows Arrived. The J.

I Featuring the amusement exposi- I lion this year are the motordrome, the big circus side show with ten acts, the Dixie Land minstrel with a jazz orchestra, and the mechanical show, the latter designed principally for children and showing here for the first time. a bridge. PYom the side the curved walls of the design give a pleasing effect.

The scheme is adaptable to all sizes of culverts and bridges up to fifty feet span. Its low cost and simplicity ought to make it attractive to road builders where state aid is not to be had. Its adoption in Missouri, according to the designers, would save the state millions of dollars within the next ten years. Fine Agricultural Exhibit The Agricultural building at the Missouri State Fair is proving to bo one of the most attractive show spots on till grounds. All day long, people cluster about the exhibits, commenting, comparing and admiring.

According to John F. Case, director of the department, the number and quality of the entries are better than ever before, despite the radical cuts in the premium list. Fourteen counties entered displays, and seven individual farm exhibit plans are in the race. Sam Jordan judge of garden crops, commented on the excellence of the individual exhibits, saying that farmers are much valuable information from them. really represents what should be grown in that county on a typical 120 acre farm, and is a most valuable feature of the he said.

Of special interest is the initial showing of certified wheat and oats seeds in the buildings.
