PLANS FOR NEW BRIDGE
IN ROCK CREEK READY
Massachusetts Ave. Heights
Syndicate to Build One
by End of Fall.

In connection with the dedication of
parkways to the District by the Massa-
chusetts Avenue Heights Syndicate, an
nouncement was made today that the
syndicate shortly will construct bridge
over a valley intersecting Rock Creek
drive at a point about 900 feet east of
Massachusetts avenue.
Plans for the bridge have been drawn
by District Engineer of Bridges Bailey,
but the structure is to be put up at the
expense of the syndicate. At its highest
point it will be about forty feet. 1t will
have a twenty-six-foot roadway and a
four-foot sidewalk.
In announcing that the plans had been
completed and work on the bridge shortly
will be commenced Engineer Bailey said:
To Preserve Valleys Appearance.
1.-The bridge, which will be strong
enough for heavy traffic, will preserve the
appearance of the valley. The improve
ment is needed and will be better than
il the valley had been filled in at that
point. The bridge will span the first val
ley east OF the old Thompson bridge.
which was torn down several years ago
1t was said today that the structure
probably will be completed by the middle
or latter part of fall Rock Creek drive,
which will pass over it, affords communi-
cation between Massachusetts, and Con-
necticut avenues, just north OF Rock
creek.

Government Busy Cleaning Out Opium

G LOWLY the federal arm is sweeping
- in the opium fiends. The recent
raid here by internal revenue agents,
when $4,000 worth of the drug, pre-
pared for smoking, was confiscated
and the distributing organization for
the District of Columbia broken up,

hundred thousand dollars worth of
the drug is now in government pos

In the last five months just such

able to trace the drug to the illicit
manufacturers, thus dealing the most
serious blow Of ALL In Terre Haute,

Bar Unbidden Guests From Naval Ball

. ECENT agitation over the new re-
~ strictions placed upon midshipmen
at the naval academy in the matter of
guests at academy dances has brought
forth from officials Of the navy de-
partment remarkable statement, It
was disclosed that heretofore the
doors of the naval academy have been
opened wide on the evenings of
dances, and all presenting themselves
at the doors dressed as for a dance
have been admitted without question.
Several embarrassing situations
have developed from time to time
involving midshipmen in serious
trouble. Henceforth. it is stated, the
academy officials will require that no
person be admitted without presenting
a card Of invitation, and the names of
all persons to whom such cards are
issued are to be listed.
THE invitations to balls and hops at
the naval academy" says the state
ment, have been either a source of
misunderstanding or a cause for at
tempting to stir up class prejudice.
Few fathers and mothers with sons
at the naval academy but would de-
sire and expect the authorities having
their sons In charge to endeavor to
keep them apart from that special

WASHINGTON.-In the United
W States there are in all about
100000 miles of roads of one kind
or another-enough to reach around
the earth 100 times. Much of this,
however, is Of character not wor-
thy Of the name road. Some Of it Is
little better than a rock pile, and 9TH
ers are wide tracks through bitches
and swamps. OF the whole only seven
miles in each hundred can be said to
have any improvements whatever, and
on the most Of it the improvements
are such as to be unworthy of note.
Altogether not two per cent. can be
called first class. With the proper i'm
provement of this network of roads

repay the nation.
The roads in the United States may
not be the very worst in TIA world,
but they are bad enough as q whole,
that is certain, compared with those in
other civilized countries. Europe is a
network Of magnificent highways. In
Germany, France and England one can
ride for miles without striking stone
or puddle. This does not add to
pleasure alone. 1t is the means Of
saving millions of dollars each year
to those countries where such roads
are maintained.

STORY OF JAPANESE GOWNS
Interesting Facts Concerning thu
Origin Of Garments Worn in the
Island Empire.

Nearly every woman nowadays
cherishes Japanese gown for house
wear without realizing how interest
ing garment it is. The sleeves them
selves have curious history. From.
the middle Of the sixteenth century
they began to increase in length. and.
especially those for young ladies, have
extended till now they are from three
to four feet. This style, known az
furisode, became very fashionable.
The width Of the obi, or sash, has
also varied, at first from two ana a
half to three and a half inches, and
to six, seven, eight and nine inches.
1t is interesting to note that our
own new fashions In sleeves and
sashes originated among the common
people Of Japan, and from them were
finally adopted by the upper classes;
The young ladies If the Samuri class
were the first to follow the popular
styles in this respect, and the higher
classes began to follow suit, until now
these fashions prevail everywhere.
It Is only from about the middle OF
the seventh century that the women
Of the lower classes began to wear
the long haori, or overeoat. at present
so common among all classes of both
sexes. This garment was originally a
buster worn by men to protect their
clothes when outdoors, and was then
called dofuku, or travelling coat.
Finally they came to be wora in.

garment. The upper classes in time
followed the same custom. and how

the clothing to be worn on formal &C.
