NEW BRIDGE ACROSS POTOMAC
Alexandria County Organization In

Construction OF new bridge to sup

say is inadequate and unsafe. is asked
by the Alexander County Public Serv-

narrow bridge SO crowded that at

pointed out that thousands of pedes-

a large part OF the city's freight is
carried by wagon across 1t.
A report recently filed with the war
department regarding congestion of
traffic at the Virginia side of the
bridge is mentioned Some relief
should be furnished, the letter says. At
present there is but one street lead

 ccuplet which I thought quite apropos:
 "WOMAN'S SPHERE"
 Father, what is woman's sphere?"
 'I think they mean the earth, my
 dear."
 So thought l. when I began to thlnk up material for my paper. It is such terribly inclusive subject a field too wide for any comprehen- sive review.
 By the enlarged sphere of woman, l suppose you mean her multiplied opportunities. Since the days when the confines of Eden shut Eve in, the circumference of Womans world has become almost limitless. There has never been a day, however, that she has been inactive in the onward march of civilization.
 Paul bids her keep silent but the utterance of tongue refused her found vent in maternal watch-care, tration. She spurred her husband and instilled into the children the courage that sustained later on. We know this must be so, for these are the impulses of the home-maker in every age
 Occasionally she has put on the accoutrements of war and gone into Veritable battle The annals of mans deeds contain many Boadiceas.
 Our mothers tell us how, when they were young, they shredded lint e1n .t,o cnes on the fields of decision. Their grandmothers converted their uten- sils into bullets for the patriots.
 Woman is by nature a home founder and home maker It was woman, not man. who made the first rude dwellings and dressed skins ard wove textiles for clothing. It was woman, not man, who made the first fire and the first utensils for cooking and the first rude tools for industrial ends All her activities clustered about the hearth and min istered to the home. Women were the first salt makers and extracted hitter from the ashes of certain plants. They also understood thor oUghly the quarrying and manipula- tion of potters clay, mineral paint and soapstone.
 There is no end to woman's con- nection with the vegetable kingdom. l. is peculiarly hers The same is true of plant herbs. The first em- pirical physicians were not the sor- cerers, but the herb woman. They gathered the first materia medica. Domestic animals were first tanned, not for men to ride, but for the ser vice of women for their fleece and milk and strong backs. The discOv- cry that the horse. the camel, the COW, the ass, the goat and the rein- deer would yield milk was one of the most useful ever made.
 It cannot be denied that the di- versification of employment effected by domestication was a great stimu- Jus to intellectual growth at the same time that it gave leisure for the perfection of woman in the arts of refinement.
 All the social fabrics of the world are built around women. For the highest ideals in civilization, in hu- ranitarianism, education and gov ernment, the way was prepared in savagery by mothers and by the fe- male clan groups, and the most commanding positions are at this moment in their possession.
 If women now sit on the thrones if the most beautiful painting in the world is of a mother and her child if the image of woman crowns the dome of the American capitol, if ir alIegory and metaphor and painting and sculpture, the highest ideals
