The country woman who had ridden a long distance into town could come there to warm herself; the mother with a tired baby might lay him on a couch there while she rested. Wives, whose husbands were discussing politics at the grocery store or bank, did a little "loafing" themselves there while the men carried on weighty disputes. This club wanted to keep a woman there In attendance, but it was more of an expense then they felt they could assume. The Home Improvement association had its office on t5ie second floor at the head of an exhausting flight of stairs. The leaders wanted it to be a factor in the lives of the women of McHenry county. They hoped these women would drop in and discuss their problems and discoveries with the advisor while they rested, but the office was too inaccessible; it was a day's work to climb the stairs. So the two associations combined, their efforts to help the women of the county. The office has moved to the rest room. The office girl of the association ig there from eight until five o'clock. * , This week the rooms are to get a much needed decoration. They are now open to any woman who wants the use of a rest room. The Home Improvement association is also at your service. Have you a plant in your yard that you can take up and bring to the room to add a little home-like touch before Jack Frost gets in his deadly work? Make that room your own by contributing to the cozyness of it. CONCRETE FORMS. GO Thirty Foot Section of Fotx River Bridge Collapses [Waukegan Sun] Five men were precipitated into the Fox river, three of them being injured more or less seriously, when a thirty foot section of concrete in the new Fox river bridge at Fox Lake collapsed without Warning late Wednesday afternoon, lie injured men were rushed to local hospitals. Charles Russell, county superintendent of highways and county surveyor, paid a visit to the bridge job a few days ago and suggested to Contractor Keg that the forms for the concrete be reinforced as he did not think they were sufficiently strong. This was done, but apparently the reinforcements were not sufficient to sustain the terrific weight. According to Burgess, the crash came without warning. The concrete laden forms broke down and plunged into the river so suddenly that no one had time to reach a place of safety. It was several minutes before the victims were rescued from their dangerous predicament. Supt. Russell expressed the fear that the accident might have the effect of delaying the completion of the work until next spring. The bridge in question is about 150 feet length, 128 feet being over the water. Mr. Russell asserts that the exact cause of the accident may never be known.
