timber, frequently seen in Burma,

Although the vast majority of traY-
&Jere who feel able to, lay out the
necessary amount of francs—it is a
respectable amount — undoubtedly
have at least one' duck dinner at the
"Tour d'Argent" duritrae• their stay in
Paris, very few realize that forks first
came into use at that famous
hostelry.
Until the close of the sixteenth
century people ate with their fingers.
Knives, for hacktng the larger chunks
into, suitable sizes were provided, and
spoons for soups and graves; but the
fork was unknown, and most of the
repast was conveyed to the mouth
with the same implements that. had,
done service for mankind since the
days of Adam himself.
Henry III. of France invented the
fork or had it ineented for him. He
found that his enormous starched
ruff got frightfully spotted with drip-
pings when he ate wieb his fingers,
and it occurred to him that a pronged
instrument made of pewter would be
neater. The then proprietor of the
velopment of the prehistoric Pueblo
people,
The oldest known inhabitants of
the southwest were the Basket -Mak-
er Indians, who did not learn to make
pottery until the closing days of their
era. These were followed by the cliff -
dwelling Queblos, whose unique do-
mestic habits and signs of high in-
telligence have made them a subject
of intensive, scientific research.
"One of the major questions eon -
fronting the archaeologist and an-
thropologist in America to -day," said
Dr. Roberts 'tconcerris what happen-
ed to these Basket - Maker Indians
who immediately preceded the Pue-
blos. Did the Basket - Makers mix
peacefully with the Pueblo tribes
and lose their identity in. the course
of generations? Or were they wiped
out by warfare?

Hudson River Bridge WIll Have a
Span of 3,560 Feet.
When the new Hudson river
bridge, conneetin.g Fort Washington.
In New York and Fort Lee in New
Jersey.), is ,opened to tragic in 1932,
It will be by far the largest bridge
In the world.
-That distinction now is held by the
Quebec cantilever bridge, with a
main span of 1,800 feet. The larg-
est existing suspension bridge is that
between Philadelphia anti Camden,
over the Delaware river,, which has
a main'aepan of 1,750 feet.
The nilt bridge, also of suspen-
taion type, practically doubles these
figures with a span of 8,500 feet,
bdeween its twa towers.. It will have
a total length of 9,900 feet.
Each of the towers will be 650 feet
high—nearly as tall as the Wool-
worth building --resting on solid rock
beneath the water. They will ,con-
tain 80,000,,000 pounds of structural
steel, encased in reinforced concrete
masonry, and will measure 40 feet bY
160 feet at their tops—large enough
to completely surround the Washing-
ton monument.
The new bridge will be the cost-
liest as well as the largest. When
completed it will represent an expen-
diture of approximately $75,000,000.
About $6.0,000,000 of this total will
be spent before the bridge is opened.
By 1950 it is eetimated the annual
traffic will be 15,000,000 -vehicles,
carrying 3,8,500,000 passengers;
1,000,000 buses, and 3,000,000 pe-
deetrians.
