necessarily followed by double tracks
all the way across the Walnut street
bridge, it was said to-day by traffic
men who have given the matter con-
sideration. The preesnt bridge, it was
also said, would not permit of double
tracks and the erection of a new
bridge to take the place of the present
structure would become a necessity.
This would remove from the river
basin the obstruction to the view
caused by the present type of over
head steel work on the Walnut street
structure, for it is assured that an
other bridge erected there would not
be of that antiquated design. Indeed,
1t is likely that the City Planning Com
mission would insist that such a bridge
be of ornamental design in keeping
with the citys purpose to beautify the
river at this point in every way pos
sible.
Double tracks all the way to the
West Shore would enable the Valley
Railways to give the people of Le-
moyne, New Cumberland, Camp Hill
and the northern section as far as
Eno1a seven minute service. which
would bring it up to a par with the

GIRLS SHOULD
LEARN TRADE
Dorothy Dix Declares Educa-
ton For Most Part Is Mere
Flubdub
By DOROTHY DIX

The school year is in full swing and
following the pursuit of what they are
pleased to call their education.
For the most part, this is mere flub-
dub, smattering of this and a smat-
tering of that, glimpse of mathe-
mates, glance at literature, a dab
at art, stab at music, and not enough
of any one to be of the slightest as
slstance if the girl ever needs to call
upon it for help.
For the average girls education
may best be described in the words of
the popular ditty which declared, II
don't know where I'm going, but I'm
on my way" Nobody knows which
way girl is going, or in what direc-
ton she is headed, and so she is given
sort of hit or miss education that
her optimistic parents fondly believe
will fit her for anything, and that in
reality fits her for nothing
There is no other individual in the
world who gets such a cruel deal in
life as the daughter of the well-to-do
