Sio ) &nut 'hs cjde !ter, and poi- gile bul cky bait or ung Isce the lait the the oyh nss sh- be ev- rlh ad- c)t t The public meeting held on Tuesday evening under the aus- pices of the Board of Trade was a decided success, the New Am- bleside Hall being crowded with interested residents, who came to hear addresses on the Lions'ate bridge given by Messrs. H. B. Muckleston and J. K. Ostrand- er of the Dwight P. Robinson Co. H. B. Muckleston in his open- ing remarks stated he had first become interested three years ago in the building of a bridge across the Lions'ate. The Dwight P. Robinson Co. had lat- er also become interested in his proposition to build a bridge with a 900 foot span, which, as a re- sult of conferences with the gov- ernment, had been increased to 1000 feet, 1200 feet, until the Board of Inquiry had finally de- cided upon a span of 1400 feet. His firm, he said, were pre- pared to put up a bridge having a span of 1430 feet between tow- ers and 192 feet clearance above high water mark. these being the requirements of the Board of Inquiry. It would have a roadway 24 feet wide between the curbs, which would allow 1800 cars pcr hour to cross it in either direc- tion, or a total of 3600 cars. This was a greater number than the cars which went up Granville Street or around Stanley Park in the same space of time. Such a width also aL!owed of an auto which had stalled being dragged to one side without impeding the traffic on the bridge. There would be one 6 feet sidewalk, ac- comodating 3600 pe jestrians per hour, again a greater number 'han those using the sidewalks in Granville Street during the same period. Should the propos- ed bridge become inadequate with time for the traffic, then another bridge could be built a- longside, by which he did not mean a separate bridge, but rath- er an increase in the breadth of the towers, which would provide another roadway and a second sidewalk. The question of which side of the bridge the first side- walk would go would depend on which side of the present pro- posed structure a second bridge should be built, consequently a decision as regards the position of the latter would be made pre- vious to the erection of the first bridge. The question of the approach- es through Stanley Park he said, were in the hands of the Parks Commission. He had made cer- tain proposals but his firm were prepared to comply with any re- quirements which the Parks Commission might lay down. On the West Vancouver side there would be a circus where the road from the bridge joined the Marine Drive, thus preventing the traffic to or from the bridge crossing the traffic proceeding along the Drive or vice versa. The plans of the bridge were on display for the benefit of the meeting. The two 365 feet tow- ers were shown as of steel con- struction, that material being used, as Mr. Muckleston explain- ed, in preference to cement or stone, because the expansion and contraction of the cables due to changes of temperature destroy the tops of towers made of the two last materials. Steel has also the merit of being cheaper. The south tower is located in the bay just east of Prospect Point, and the approach from the West Vancouver shore to the north tower is carried on a series of steel trestles situated in the mid- dle of the Capilano delta. Mr. Muckleston stated that one or more steel trestles could have their footings washed away without causing the roadway a- bove to sag, and in addition could be repaired in two or three days. J. K. Ostrander spoke on the subject of toll bridges, which he said were the only kind now be- ing built in North America. His firm, were offering a fair and square proposition, which con- tained no jokers, and was based on the idea that both the muni- cipalities and his company should benefit. Questioned, he stated that they were prepared to a- gree to the bridge reverting to the municipalities at a later date. He stressed the point that the building of a bridge over the Lions'ate, in addition to in- creasing transportation facilities and aiding development, would bring several millions of dollars into Greater Vancouver in wag- es. It was their intention to use local labor, and a great deal of the material would be supplied locally. Reeve Vinson moved a vote of thanks to both speakers, which was seconded by John Lawson and carried unanimously. Don't forget the Tripp Piano Recital at Hollyburn Theatre next Wednesday.

Eat here and keep her for a pet.w Wives who can' cook have been the object of a fusilade of criticism of late. Both the evils of drunkenness and divorce are said to have been tracked back to inefficient kitchens. A learned English medical man declares, "If all young women were taught to cook properly there would be much less drunkenness in the world." On divorce, a woman's club speaker says, "Delicatessen wives, who buy meals out instead of cooking them themselves, are the cause of the increase in divorces." One of the most rapid changes taking place today is in the way we eat. In the past ten years the restaurants have more than doubl- ed in the city of New York. They serve six million meals every day. Royal S. Copelaml, former Health Commissioner of New York, predicts that in a very few decades no one will be eating home-cooked food. At any rate the trend is definitely away from the ol&l- fashioned home-prepared 'meals, and eating food cooked out- side will more and more become the custom. Before holding up hands in horror let us consider the pos- sibilities. In itself there is little to bewaiL If the foo&l is well cooked, scientificately prepared, carefully inspected, and fresh, as far as the stomach fares the change will not be for the worse, an&i in some cases decidedly for the better. There is no valid reason why women have to cook the foo:l which the family eat any more than make the clothes they ivear. April I, 1927.
