WILL CELEBRATE
ANNIVERSARY OF
NATIONAL UNITY

Washington, February "details of a
celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of
national unity will be determined upon at
meeting here soon of the committee OF
which DR.. e. A. Alderman, president of
the University Of Virginia. is chairman.
The committee proposed to have a ma
tional memorial In the shape>of bridge
over the Potomac here urged upon Con-
gress and dedication exercises in May,
1915, under direction of the G. A. r., and
United Confederate veterans. which will
be a reunion of survivors of the two great
armies. The proposed celebration, it is
intended, shall be one OF the several cere-
monies in connection with the hundredth
anniversary of peace among the English
speaking peoples.
Representative Cooper OF, Wisconsin to-
day introduced a bill to appropriate 81
100000 for the construction of a Grant
Lee memorial bridge across the Potomac
river from Washington. beginning near
the Lincoln memorial, to the Arlington
National cemetery.

Ladders Trapped High Heels
From Insurance Engineering.

FROM insurance Engineering.
An exit test conducted by a local teie-
phone company in Denver developed that
the high heehd shoes worn by the girls
made It difficult for them to travel down
the fire escapes. as the bottoms of the
heels. being SO small caught in the holes
IN the iron platforms and steps.
Rather than require the girls to wear
sensible shoes the company will build an
inciosed tower fire escape. which is the
easiest way to overcome the difficulty.
and the projected tower is the best sort
of a fire escape.
Yet an opportunity to object TO high
heels is lost, and IL a certain telegraph
company in New York can require its
women employees TO wear long sleeves
it would seem possible for tho Denver
concern to require short. broad heels.
