DECLARE IN FAVOR Of
COMMERCIAL BRIDGE
Alexandra County Citizens, How.
d. ever, Adopt Resolution for
Any Site.

The Alexandria County Civic Federation,
in its regular session at the courthouse
last night, voted on the question Of a
bridge from the vicinity of Rosslyn to
Washington and declared it to be to the
best interests of the county to adopt the
commercial bridge shown in the map
published by The Star, July II This
bridge has its Washington end at H
street, just south of the mouth Of Rock
creek. The resolution. however. favored
the construction of a bridge at once, in
any location the War Department may
select, to replace the Aqueduct bridge,
which was declared to be SO unsafe that
a disaster is to be feared any day. A
resolution was passed asking the Old
its cars in crossing the BRIDGE SO as to
enable passengers to escape in case of
an accident.
The communities represented at the
meeting were Ballston. Clarendon, Fort
Myer Heights, Rosslyn, Park Lane and
Cherrydale. All the speakers except E.
Reed of Park Lane favored the bridge
across AnaIostan Island to H street, If 1t
could be built without delay, but ex-
pressed willingness to wait until the
completed, if q change of plans would
cause delay.
Mr.. Reeds Contention.
Mr.. Reed said the move for the Ana
lostan bridge was the work of the cleo
tric railways, which would soon put in
another fare zone if such a bridge were
built. The saving in time, he declared,
would in any case be only four minutes
in favor of the II street bridge, against
that at :4th street. He said also that
the Carlin bill, when passed, would con-
tain a provision for free transfers from
all Virginia car lines to the city cars
Judge Gordon Ffnney, president Of the
federation, closed the discussion with a
strong appeal in favor of the resolution
as moderate expression of the county's
wishes and interests. The resolution
carried without dissenting vote.
1t was stated in the debate that engi-
neers' plans were already made for an
eighty-foct bridge at 34th street, and the
only reason n favorable report had not
come from the interstate committee of
the House for the Carlin bill was that
the War Department had sent a commu-
nication to the committee suggesting the
H street location and asking for the
passage of bill creating a commission
to choose site.

STRAW HAT THE CAUSE

shrilled a woman farther down the aisle.
People on the side of the car nearest
the station popped their heads out of the
windows. The immaculate young man
was standing on the platform conversing
leisurely with bystander, evidently an
old friend. He was hatless.
You've forgotten your hat" shouted
five windows in chorus.
Fat Man to Rescue.
The young man, entirely unconscious
Of the fact that he was the object of
their addresses, continued his converse
ton.
The train started. The situation had
become acute. Somebody grabbed the
hat from the rack and hurled it frantic
ally across the aisle to the fat man by
the window. He grasped it, took hasty
aim and sent it whirling through the win
dow toward the nearest bystander. 1t

chin, and rolled merrily away in the dust.
At that moment the unconscious victim
finished his conversation, swung up the
steps Of the moving train and strolled
into the car to resume his journey.
