CITIZENS
TO RESUME MEETINGS
Associations, After Vacations, Again
Will ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
for New Bridge.

The question Of replacing the present
Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge which
crosses the Eastern Branch. leading into
Randle Highlands. with a modern con-
crete structure. will again be considered
by citizens of. that suburb.
The present structure, according 10
statements of those interested. is in bad
condition, and the Commissioners have
issued an order making II unlawful TO
carry heavy material across this struc-
ture.
When the flats are reclaimed il Is be-
lieved much shorter bridge will answer
the purpose. II is desired to have an
appropriation for at least drawing the
plans for a new bridge next year. and
when the actual work is begun the fats
will have been reclaimed in that To-
cation.
Thomas Brown, fifty years of age. of
Sheridan Road Hillsdale, was overcome
by the heat while engaged in his work
on the District sewer at the foot of
NaylOr Road. He was taken to the hos
pital. where il was stated he would re-
cover.
Most Of the civic bodies in this COM
munity will resume their meetings this
week. The Public Improvement Associa-
tion Of Congress Heights is the only one
that will probably delay until October.
The Randle Highlands Association will
meet on Tuesday evening in the Baptist
Church in Naylor Road. On Wednesday
evening the AnaCostia Association will
meet. Tomorrow evening the Hiilsdale
and the East Washington
Heights Association have meetings
scheduled, and on Thursday evening the
Original Garfield Association will meet.
The death of Ernest Snpothers, twenty
four years OF age, Of Sheridan Road.
Hillsdale, who accidentally was killed
Friday night in Congress Heights by he
ing run over by a wagon. has been in
vestigated by the police. SinOthers, who
was employed by w. \. Pyles, an ice
dealer. had delivered ice TO a home. and
In returning tried to board the wagon
while it was in motion. He lost his
hold and fell directly under the rear
wheel of the heavySwagOn.

KOREAN MARRIAGES.
where n Knot in the PIRtniI De-
notes Married Man.

The Koreans marry very young, gen.
orally between the ages OF twelve and
fifteen. For a woman TO reach twenty
without marry ing is considered a terri
BIZ thing. popularity of these we'd
dings is that hey would appear to be
a matter of interest to every one ex-
Cept the parties most concerned, who
often see one another for the first time
on the wedding morning, says the Wide
World Magazine. This is because in a
Korean household the boys are kept
apart from the girls. the father and
the sons occupying the front of the
house and the mother and the daugh-
ters living in the rear of the establish
ment. Moreover, in their social life the
boys are not allowed to mix with the
gentler sex. The parents And friends
arrange the match. in accordance with
their own interests. and IL both parties
agree and the bargain is concluded, the
formslities are of the simplest. There
is no religious ceremony and no legal
contract.
Early on the wedding morn the best
man arrives to tie the bTidegroom's
pigtail in knot on the top of his head,
and this not only remains forever as
an outward and visible sign OF his con-
dition, but entities him 20 wear a hat
for the first time in his life and to he
treated as a man and enter public life.
He may be a mere child. twelve years
of age, but he has no longer any right
to play with his boy friends. and must
choose his associates among old men.
He has now all civil rights and is eS-
pected to behave accordingly. II. on
the contrary. a man is unable to afford
the luxury OF n home and wife, he
may,reach the age of fifty, but he must
still wear his pigtail down his back.
hHs none of the advantages of citizen
ship. and Is expected to play with
kites marbles, and such like. Any
folly he may commit Is excused in the
same way as the naughtiness of child
who is not responsible for his actions.
The wedding ceremony itself is most
simple. The whole function consists
of a procession, when the bride and
bridegroom are conducted by their re-
spective relations to a dais. There
they are put face 10 face. and probably.
as already stated. see each other for
the fret time. They merely glance at
one another, then bow, and the knot is
tied indisso1ubly.

contract offered them. He gets 20 per

lectures. The first $50 taken in goes to
him; the next $50 goes to the assOcia

divided between the two. If Mr.. Bryan
should fail TO draw. the association
would not lose any money. He is the

such a contract: the only man who dares
