Trouble With Contractors Over Ex tras Liable to Result in Lawsuits and Engineer's Testimony Thought Necessary. Unless there is a sudden change of heart on the part vf some of the mem bers of the City Council that body will be unanimous against Commissioner Barbur in his move to oust George S. Edmond-tone from the position of engi neer in charge of the project for the elimination of the O.-VV. R. & N. grade crossings on the East Side. The ques tion will be before the City Council v. ednesday for settlement. Three members of the Council Mayor Baker and Commissioners Mann and Bigelow already have jpoken against the plan and it is understood that Com missioner Kellaher will also oppose it In the form in which it has come up. The Council members deem the move to be one not for the best interests of the city. There are several controver sies at present in connection with the project due to claims on the part of Mr. Edmondstone that the contractors on the work ' have not been pushing their work according to schedule. He has also recommended against the granting of a number of extra items amounting to several thousand dollars. Legal Point Checked. Rumors that Mr. Edmondstone would te ousted from authority in connection with the project were in circulatio.i some time before the move against him was made. Mr. Edmondstone says he gathered from remarks made to him while he was on the scene of the work, that he faced trouble. Since troubles came up recently about items of extras and certain other things in connection with the project the city has been safeguarding itself against lawsutis. Chief .Deputy City Attorney Tomlinson has been assigned to the task of keeping tab on the legal end of the city's interests. Mr. Ed mondstone has compiled records and taken photographs reciting every feature of the work to date and has been working in conjunction with the legal bureau in handling every detail of the .Tocedure. Original Plan Modified. That Mr. Edmondstone would be an Indispensable asset for the city in case of a lawsuit because of his knowl edge of what has transpired, is gen erally concede! by all concerned in cluding Commissioner Barbur. It is for this reason that Mr. Barbur changed his original plan of ousting Mr. Ed mondstone altogether to a proposal to retain him in a consulting capacity, relieving him of authority in connec tion with the project. It is known that the city's legal bureau is looking with apprehension on the removal of Mr. Edmondstone. Protests also have been made by con cerns having sub contracts on the Job. One such protest has been made by the concern having the contract for furnishing the steel. Commissoner Barbur says he intends to go through with his programme of subordinating Mr. Edmondstone. Mr. Barbur's main contention is that the move is in the Interest of economy and that if he is to be responsible for the project' he should have authority to say who shall have charge. The Coun cil on the other hand has taken the position that no economy that could not be exercised under present arrange ments is apparent and that the Coun cil as a whole c d Mr Barbur indivi dually is responsible for the project.

Not a room where I hang dls carded wives, not a hall of historic waxworks. I have decided that there no better use for a barn today than for stabling gift-horses. Here I hide, n the loft above my car, my collection of hideous presents, that I will not keep in the house to offend the eyes of my children. It took courage to establish it, and it requires prudence to keep it up. It would never do to admit anybody who had unwittingly contributed to the col lection. Glft-Horaea Sold or Kxchanged.

I have a friend, a minister, a bach elor, of exquisite taste. His rooms are symphony in brown, with sepia pho tographs and tooled bindings and coffee-colored window curtains. Among his many adorers is a spinister who felt commissioned not long ago to go about and collect funds in the parish for a donation. She took the money and put it all into an oak sofa with a red and blue tapestry cover. She pre sented it, in the midst of a group of the conspiring benefactors, with tears in her voice. It was a magnificent gesture, as we say. The thing was too kindly to refuse, too expensive to de stroy, too awful to dispose of. Speak ing of gift-horses, this was a Perch eron. When you entered the room you could see nothing else. The good man realizes that, like the Lady of Shalott, the curse has come upon him. He usually stables it in an adjoining room where, with a curtain cover, it becomes a gigantic organ stool. But whenever he hears a ring at the door he hurries to a peephole. and if it be a parishioner he trundles it back into the living-room. I think he will have to resign his pulpit soon. Firm Measures Required. I know a bride who had given her hand-tinted picture of "Little Eva in Heaven" and a cream-colored knit bedspread, "run" with coarse ribbons. When she was arranging the wedding presents she laid the coverlet over the picture frame and hid both under the table. But as soon as the honeymoon was over she took them both out in her back yard one dark evening and burned them. Then she wrote a letter of condolence that melted the hearts of both her good kinswomen. On her birthday each of them sent her a duplicate. Tour house is your castle, not a rummage-sale shop. It is the home of your children. Its pictures, its statuary, its adornments, will be the pictures, statues and adornments that they will remember all their lives beyond any others. They will always express the very meaning of home to them. The children should love them, not be haunted by them. The only way to handle a gift-horse is to break it as a colt. A Girl's Camping Outfit. Dear Mr. Forbush: I am going to take the girls of my Sunday school class out camping. Will you name the articles I ought co ask each one to bring, so that I may not omit anything important. I have been a member of a camp, but I have never conducted one. ESTELLE M. LIST OF NECESSITIES.

So extensive are precautions taken by railroads that link Argentina and Chile by climbing the Andes, which have the steepest grades in the world, that not a fatal accident has happened since they were opened in 1910.
