50575	But who was to superintend it?
50575	But,it may be asked,"why is a fire not always kept burning, and steam constantly at high pressure?"

17137	Could it be severed at the bend, and still perform its office?
17137	Do these sound like clean- cut statements of fact, or are they personal opinions?
17137	Does any one seriously contend that this trifling amount of concrete will grip this large steel area?
17137	Does he mean that the compression part of the concrete will grip the rod like a vise?
17137	Does this need any comment?
17137	How does this comport with his contention farther on that the beams are continuous?
17137	If shear members take vertical shear, or if they take tension, what is between the two members to take the other half of the shear?
17137	If the concrete can take the shear, why use steel members?

17137	It might even be overstressed in this steel, but what could happen?
17137	Should engineers use a certain method until failures show that something is wrong?
17137	The question then naturally arises: If U- bars serve no purpose, what will counteract these horizontal cleaving forces?
17137	These are legitimate functions for little loose rods; but why call them shear rods and make believe that they take the shear of a beam?
17137	This being the case, who can gainsay the utility of the U- bar?
17137	This being the case, why not recognize it, modify methods of design, and not go on assuming stresses which have no real existence?
17137	What does he mean by"stress"in a shear rod?

17137	Why does he not apply the same logic to reinforced concrete design?
17137	Why, in the many books on the subject of reinforced concrete, is there no mention of this simple principle?
17137	Will some advocate of this type of design please state where this area can be found?
17137	Would any engineer with any knowledge whatever of bridge design accept such details?

55684	Then, as she entered the living- room, she exclaimed in amazement:"What is the matter, Uncle Henry?
55684	They never had to stop and ask,"What shall we do now?"
55684	To be sure he had books and games without number, but he soon grew tired of reading, and what good were games when there was no one to play with him?
55684	Uncle Joe says:''Why not let those boys of yours come up and go camping with me this summer?
55684	VACATION AT GRANDPA''S Did I ever tell you about the time we boys set Grandpa Snow''s barn on fire?
55684	What damage did it do?
55684	What did he do?__ How should this fire have been avoided?_ A lamp, a lantern, or an oil- stove should not be placed where it could possibly be upset.
55684	What did he do?__ How should this fire have been avoided?_ A lamp, a lantern, or an oil- stove should not be placed where it could possibly be upset.
55684	What did you do?_ It is against the law to burn a building, even if it is nothing but an old barn.
55684	What have you been doing in here?"
55684	What if I did spend them for something else?"
55684	When he spoke to Joe about it, the boy answered carelessly,"Oh, yes, I did forget it; but it wo n''t matter much, will it?
55684	When his mother asked him to bring in some wood, he always said,"Ca n''t you wait a minute?"
55684	Why?
55684	_ Who was Pinch?
55684	_ Why did Tommy bring in the wet chips?__ Why did not the fire burn well at first?__ What did Tommy suggest using?
55684	_ Why did Tommy bring in the wet chips?__ Why did not the fire burn well at first?__ What did Tommy suggest using?
55684	_ Why did Tommy bring in the wet chips?__ Why did not the fire burn well at first?__ What did Tommy suggest using?
55684	asked the teacher,"and what do you mean by the right time?"
55684	he said again, and he walked back and forth in the narrow cage, strutting proudly, and spreading his wings as if to say,"What do you think of me?"
