Bridge Tender Eastburn's Suggestions,

Bridge Tender Amos Eastburn Of the
Third street bridge is much gratihed by
not having break or accident during
his two years Of service on the bridge
The bridge vas closed during 1921,
nineteen hours for repairs About 10 600
persons on foot and 900 to 100 teams
cross the bridge every day, OF about
twenty-five times more than any other
bridge In the state. During his admin
istration Mr.. Eastburn has had nc
dissatisfaction or controversies and
has made no enemies. He sug
gested TO the Levy Court, upon this
entrance Of the duties, that they allow
the electric motor power to remain OF

fact that it is a better power TO turn the
bridge than steam lie suggests that

ONE reason why the women do not
have more educational facilities is that
the women themselves would rather
quarrel with the men for not affording
them. The way to get anything is not
to quarrel with other people for not Civ
ing the thing 20 you but get it yourself.
There have always been ample facilities
for educating all the women who desired
education either in the arts or the
sciences; they did not want it. Within
the last ten years, however, they have
suddenly rushed upon us with demands
which are extravagant compared with
the use made Of the facilities they
have. Women themselves have rarely or
never endowed any seat of learning for
women Even they thought, It seems,
that they had enough facilities already.

The safety OF ocean TrareI.

Philadelphia Ledger.
The accident TO the steamship Umbria
is a reminder not so much of the dangers
of the sea as Of the safety of ocean travel
ling. The larger and faster vessels, such
as the Umbria, the Etruria, the City of
p aris and the City of New York cross,
the ocean with quite as much regu
larity as to the time of passage proper
toned to distance as that observed by
the ferry boat between Jersey City and
New York. Once in a great while
an accident may delay them for
few hours, or, as in the case
Of the Umbria, for several days; but
they are so constructed as to be tolerably
safe even when their machinery is dis
abled during a storm. The recent acct
dents to the Spree and the Noordland
we're even graver than that from which
the Umbria suffered, but both succeeded
in landing their passengers. Il is when
approaching land that the greatest risks
are run; ON the open sea a modern steam
ship is as safe as anything on land,
though it is difficult to get anyone but
sailor to believe so.
