The Blackwelrs island bridge. officially
opened last Tuesday, is the third highway
over East river connecting Manhattan and
Brooklyn. The Brooklyn and the VIII
liamsburg bridges are Of the suspension
type. The new bridge Is a csntilever struc-
ture. a type Of construction made possible
at this point because Blackwelrs island di-
vides the river. It is one of the three
great csntilever bridges OF the world. In
weight and carrying capacity 1t is said
to be superior to the other two. These
others are the bridge over the Forth In
Scotland and the Quebec bridge.
Thu total length OF the cantilever is 3.525
feet. The total length Of the bridge. in
Guiding its approaches. is s,2S1 feet. The
total weight of steel which enters into the
construction of the bridge is 5000 tons. a
weight equivalent to ten battleships OF thu
Oregon type. Xix the Williamsburg, the
Manhattan and the Brooklyn bridge, its
clear height above mean low water is 1856
feet.
The bridge Will have a very large capa-
city for traffic. This will be carried on two
floors. one above the other. on the lower
floor will be a roadway f~ifty-six feet wide,
the central portion Of which will be de-
voted to street and general vehiculsr traf-
ftc. The other, ten feet on either side, will
be given over to trolley traffic.
on the upper floor provision has been
made for the immediate construction Of
two elevated railroad tracks and for the
future construction Of two additional
tracks. On the outside Of these will be
two thirteen-foot sidewalks.
When fully completed the bridge will
have cost $40, OOO,O 900.

The New Sophomore."

Few college stories have been writ
ten which present the real life and
the true spirit OF a college. James
Shelley Hamilton, however. in a book
called The New Sophomore" which
is fresh from the press, has sue
ceeded admirably in giving an impress
sion OF college life as it really exists.
The story is of a young man named
Rldgeway Bill who comes to Tresham
College as a sophomore from another
college. Being newcomer he is at
hrst taken for freshman but dis
closes the fact that he is sophomore
after outwitting some hazers. Bill is
liked by all his classmates and makes
many friends. He is given the name
va SLOUGH on account of his tend
ency to Initiate Sherlock Holmes in
1erretlng out plots and secrets.
1t had always been the custom at
Iresham College for the even and odd
year men to fight for the possession of
soodess' Sabrlna, small bronze
statue. The story tells how the even
year class. which had held this god.
dess for years, comes near losing if
Bill, the hero of the story, comes to
the rescue, however, and carries the
goddess away in safety. The bool,
ends with a banquet scene in which
the goddess and Bill are the centers
of attraction.
The book is we'll written and ,ba
characters accurately and truthful1v
represented. 1t would not he hard ,o
ma III any college many of the nor.
sons there shown 1t does seem bou.
ever, that the author sometimes t,iva.
too much prominence to the loss in,
pof'aht characters OF the story and
'hus detracts from the main character
ahd that the suggestion of the main
'heme is too long delayed. Neyertba-
less 1t is real, live college story
with lessons of value to be learned
from its leading characters.

EMPLOY ENGINEERS.

/ The action the city council should
take tonight at the special meeting
to consider the light problem is to EN-.
pioy competent engineers to examine
the municipal light plant and tell the
people ol Columbia what is wrong
with the lights
When our roof leaks We hire ear
penter to repair it. When we get
sick we go to a doctor, and when We
get in trouble with the law We so 10
a lawyer.
Something is wrong with our eiec-
tric lighting system. The logical
thing to do first OF all is to find the
trouble. The only persons who un-
derstand electric light plants are ex-
pert engineers.
The citizens of Columbia have 4
great deal OF money invested in their
municipal lighting plant. 1t is not
giving them value received and they
want to know the reason. Whether ii
is defect in either management or
equipment or both. they want to know
The citizens OF Columbia have a
right to know what is wrong with
their property. before they are sub
jected to further expense.
After expert engineers have aX-
planned what is wrong none will OBJ

without rat Yet the country
girl still goes "ratless" and still wears
| the simple gown. She is unsophisti-
Gated, and unaware of the DEGREES of
fashion and society. ignorance of
such matters is bliss.
Since when has the rat" become
so Indispensable? Certainly the So
Ciety bell OF fifty years ago was not
familiar with the modern rat" BI,
how society has progressed Now a
''ratless" ball is distinctly an in
novation. This custom has grown
along with equally indispensable"
customs. The society woman OF TO-
day should look, not to Europe. but
to her own country sister for enlighl-
enment on what is healthy and proper.
In some Eastern cities the suppress
sion OF rats has been urged. Ii
the movement receives the encourage
ment which it deserves. Il "rat!ess"

FOR A NEW STATE SONG.

\ movement has been started for a
new state song. 1t was originated
during Taft's trip down the MissiSsipni
river, and is fast gaining approval
throughout the state. A 81 600 prize
awaits the composer of a suitable one.
The state has been without a song.
but it is to be hoped that it will not
continue to be without one much
longer A song which is melodious
and expressive will meet with imme-
diate popularity. The song will bring
Mlssourlans closer together; it will
increase interest in the welfare of the
state; and it will develop a greater
state pride. The singing of Amer.
lea arouses national patriotism, why
shouldn't a state song arouse state
patriotism. 1t undoubtedly will. Pa
triotism is here. 1t only awaits the
inspiration. A state song will furnish
this
If the river investigation has accom-
plished nothing more, it has furthered
patriotic spirit in Missouri which
will increase with the advent of the
state song
