NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
E.On the opposite page is printed 
a plan of the new bathing pavilion 
and land improvements for the West 
Beach Corporation, at West Beach, 
erly Farms, the initial announce- 
vt of which was made in the 
eeze several weeks ago. The up- 
per portion of the picture shows the 
front appearance of the building 
L 
from the beach. The lower portion 
yws the appearance of the struc- 
from the street, while between 
the two is the ground plan, with 
the street on one side and the beach 
(and pier) on the other. 
_ The plans and specifications for 
the building have been placed with 
contractors during the last week for 
proposals. The figures are to be 
filed with President James B. Dow, 
of the corporation, by 7.30 o’clock 
next Monday evening, March 27th. 
, At Mr. Dow’s residence at that hour 
the bids will be opened and read be- 
fore the bidders. The specifications 
_eall for the completion of the struc- 
- ture on or before June 14, 1911.

The first impression in coming up 
from beneath a rushing river and a 
roaring city into the vast Pennsyl- 
-yania railroad terminal, with its se- 
‘rene quiet above the great under- 
ground life, is the daring and almost 
appalling nature of this greatest 
achievement of modern times. No 
words or illustrations can give an 
~adequte conception of it.

Few of the wondering 
give a glance at the massive statue 
_ of Alexander Johnson Cassatt in its 
aleove on the grand stairway, Presi- 
dent of the P. R. R., 1899-1906, who 
dreamed and inaugurated this won- 
der of today. —

‘We thus come to the shrine of the 
massive gods of materialism today. 
We are awed by the glory of man’s 
achievement and forget the God 
who has given such gifts unto man.

_ That preachers like Dr. Aked stand 
isolated in the midst of the wizards 
that work such miracles is a sad 
- commentary on the souls affected by 
the senses and not the spirit and 
truth the preacher proclaims. ‘‘The 
Gods of this world’’ are the center 
of observation. But above them is 
visitors 
_ Beverly Farms people, both na- 
tives and summer residents, ought to 
be highly appreciative of the ef- 
forts being made to bring about this 
improvement and we are glad to see 
that all are lending their aid to make 
the work a success, for it requires 
money to build a structure such as is 
to be built at West Beach and prac- 
tically all of the $18,000 needed must 
be raised by subscription. Every 
man, woman and child in Beverly 
Farms, and every summer resident 
ought to lend their financial support 
in some measure or other. Usually 
improvements of this kind, that are 
for the benefit of the whole com- 
munity, are put through by the city 
or town. This is to be done entirely 
by the people. Every dollar spent 
must come from their pockets direct. 
The building will be about 200 feet 
long by about. 75 feet wide and will 
stand on the edge of the embank- 
ment, between the highway and the 
beach, on the site of the small in- 
dividual bathhouses that formerly 
lined the beach. There will be about 
Infinite Wisdom and Power worthy 
alone of reverence and worship.

Of the three great preachers that 
have occupied the pulpit of ‘‘Old 
Plymouth’’ in the last half century, 
Dr. Hillis, who began his thirteenth 
year in the pastorate last Sunday, 
March 19th, represents the superla- 
tive degree. <A service to the ‘‘Liv- 
ing God’’ above the charm of grand 
opera and above the fascination of 
the greatest drama, still held vacant 
seats for many more in the ‘‘City 
of Churches.’’ The soul’s insensi- 
bility is seen not here alone, but in 
art galleries, libraries and conserva- 
tories of the higher revelations of 
man and God.

The artist, color confused, looks 
long at the colors and tints in na- 
ture where the divine artist is never 
confused. Morally confused at 
times, let us contemplate the signifi- 
cance of the Taft-Grey treaty of 
peace proposition. God is in His 
heavens and if everything is not 
right with the world today, some 
day it will be all right.

NEW BATHING PAVILION AT WEST BEACH 
180 apartments, four shower baths, 
toilets, an office and a room where 
those who desire may eat their lunch. 
The structure will rest on posts 
and piles driven well into the sand. 
It will be of wood, with slap-dash. 
A covered piazza will extend the en- 
tire length of the building on the 
water side, and an uncovered piazza 
will be built on the ends and other 
side. Four sets of stairs will lead 
from the beach to the piazza, and 
other stairs will run from beneath 
the house to the bathing apartments, 
so that bathers may reach their 
apartments without passing over the 
piazza. 
The building will be constructed 
in such a way that it will really be 
three buildings from the inside. 
There will be eight light and air 
shafts in the center portion so that 
every apartment will be provided 
with light and air. 
The baleony on the roof, some 
thirty feet square, will be an attrac- 
tive feature of the structure. 
A forceful demonstration of the 
negro’s handicap in life is seen in 
the brutal treatment of Booker T. 
Washington on the streets of New 
York City, the metropolis of ‘‘the 
land of the free and the home of the 
brave.”’ 
THE ART OF SIDE-STEPPING. 
According to a Washington corre- 
spondent of the Boston Transcript, 
Robert O. Bailey, private secretary to 
Secretary McVeagh, on the theory 
that wit is the offspring of intellect, is 
the ablest man in the Treasury Build- 
ing, and tells this story in support of 
his assertion : 
“What is that safe there for, Bob?” 
inquired a newspaper caller the other 
day after Mr. Bailey had handed out 
the usual “nothing doing” formula. 
Bailey thought a moment and 
scratched his head. It would not do, 
of course, to betray office secrets to 
the public. 
“We use that to keep the deficit in,” 
he replied.
