any subway train is answer enough.
There arc not many men there
whom you can size up and then
think of in connection with, say, a
forty-mile forced march. How about
a bayonet charge? Most of them
would be dead from heart failure or
helpless on the ground from sheer
exhaustion before they ever reached
the enemies fine.
OF course, in the cities, conditions
are not fairly indicative of the coun-
try at large. In smaller towns and
on the farms there are more men in
fair physical trim. But even there
the average is shockingly low. Let
us all make it our individual busi-
ness to get it higher, and we won't
have to wait until there is war to

AN ARCHITECTURAL ADORN-
MENT

Washington people inclined to mis-
glvlngs about the artistic quality of
the architectural and public develop
ment of this town, may gain some
reinsurance if they will inspect the
new bridge across Rock Creek on @
street. AS a utility it was sadly
needed for many years; it's construc-
tion was difficult for a variety of
reasons; and the completed struc-
ture, formally opened for use on
Christmas eve. is a particularly sat-
lsfactory solution of both problems.
The Q street bridge is more than
a worthy companion piece to the Con-
necticut avenue structure. 1t rep
resents a turning to artistic advan-
tage of some very real difficulties in
engineering. It's attractiveness as
well as its fitness for its place in
the Rock Creek development scheme
emphasizes the necessity for erec-
tion of a proper bridge at Calvert
street.
Particular satisfaction must be ex-
pressed at the standard of sculptural
adornment which is fixed by the four
heroic bronze bison guarding the
bridgeheads. They are the work of
an American sculptor, Phineas Proc
tor, of New York, whose contribu-
tions to virile, effective animal sculp-
ture are well known, and ought to be
more frequently exemplifed in
Washington. They have attracted
wide attention among competent
critics.
Apropos, is it not within reason to
hope that these splendid bronzes
may bring the blush of shame to
the leonlne countenances of the Port
land cement gargovles of lions that
mar and cheaper the Connecticut
avenue bridge? Is there not, in some
responsible quarter, sufficient re-
pository of combined artistic ard ex-
ccutive authority to prod those hor-
rors into jumping over the parapet
and losing themselves in the obliy-
ion that would be entitled to com
miseration if compelled to associate
with them?

PREPAREDNESS AND pnYsI0,In

There are not MANY things one
can say these days about military
preparedness or the lack of it that
will be permitted to pass quite un-
challenged. But DR.. Charles w.
Eliot propounds an argument which
must strike home as forcibly in the
milltarist ranks as among the paci-
fists.
He says that "the best training of
a people for efficiency in war is the
same training up to twenty years as
that which is desirable for efficiency
IN peace" In other words, before
you can accomplish much either in
peace or in war you must lay a sound
foundation of individual health and
strength.
Soldiers ought to be thoroughly
able-bodied," DR.. Eliot continues,
ITO this universal preparation of the
youth for efficiency in both peace
and war an active participation in
outdoor sports contributes strongly,
but looking on at games is not use
full participation"
The common sense of this is ap-
parent to any one. Yet how many
men, young or old, give real consid-
Grafton to their bodily efficiency? A
glance over the human freight of
