"THE SLEEPLESS ARCH"
PRINCIPLE OF ALL BRIDGES

Although the building OF great arches
OF masonry dates beyond the ancient
Roman civilization. the principle that
gives strength TO the massive stone
bridges of today is the same that built
the bridges OF the Roman empire.
The history of bridge building is. to
a large degree, the history of the arch,
whose efficiency lies in the truth of the
old Hindoo saying that the arch never
sleeps because each separate section Of
which It consists. beginning at the
keystone, or central section, is con-
stantiy pushing against it's immediate
nelghbors until the pressure finally
reaches the firm foundation upon which
the structure Is erected.
To secure a perfectly trustworthy
foundation. therefore, the bridge build
er has often 20 penetrate far below the
surface OF the earth. and not infre-
auentiy the part OF his structure thus
covered uD and concealed Is greater
than that visible above ground.
II was their inability 10 solve the
problem OF a trustworthy foundation
that led the ancient Hindoos to distrust
the arch, arguing that the sleepiess. ac-
uvtty that held II Together was equally
active in tearing II 10 pieces.
Not only Is the modern bridge builder
skilled in setting his structure on a firm
base, but thoroughly acquainted with
the ume-honored materials for his
work, 10 say nothing Of new materials,
and an important part Of his student
training IN such modern schools as the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
IS devoted TO methods Of testing ma
Ieriais during construction that would
have surprised and delighted even the
most accomplished OF the ancient
Roman engineers.

HEROIC REMEDIES

BARRIERS were the surgeons, and, like
wise men, adapted their prices to their

Bariow's death was a question Of only
a few hours at most.
But Barlow did not die. His wife
came promptly and had him removed

Marine Band Makes Hit.

The United States Marine Band has
captured Baltimore. For the past three
weeks the men have taken a run over to
the Monumental City each night for the
purpose of giving pop" concerts at the
Lyric, ard have played a longer season
than any other band giving similar en-
tertainments in Baltimore. The band
has been managed in this engagement
by Ernest Philpitt. and the original sea-
son of two weeks which was contracted
for was extended TO three.
All Baltimore has been fioclxing to
hear the Government musicians, and
have united in urstinted praise of the
concerts given each night. Bands may
come and ban1s may go. but the band
of the United States Marine Corps con-
tinues TO hold its head up proudly in
the air and challenge competition.
The men can deal out Wagnerian re-
pertoire with grace and ease to satisfy
the most fastidious musician and again
II can seductively reel off all the popu-
lar songs about cocoanut trees, chin
panZees. and all the other funny little
things that go to make up the popular
song hits Of the day in way that
one couldn't keep ones foot still even If
one wanted to.

MATTERS OF INTEREST
TO ALL MUSIC LOVERS

this work 1t has become a self-per-
petuating organization, for many of the
younger members first discovered their
speciality by listening TO earlier per-
formances OF the organization in which
they are now members.
As a further instance of the attention
given by the Georgetown Orchestra to
local musical interests may be men
toned its preference for Washington
artists as soloists at its concerts. The
coming performance will be no excep-
ton to this rule since both the vio-
linist. Anton Kaspar, and the vocalist
Tom Greene, are artists who, while
achieving a wide reputation, are proud
of their identity with this city The
high standard of former concerts will. If
anything, be surpassed.
