WAR CONDITIONS DELAY
18TH STREET EXTENSION
Scarcity of Labor and High Prices
Have Retarded One Of City's I'm
portant Projects.

Scarcity of labor and war prices are
increasing the difficulty and the ex-
pense of completing the extension OF
10th street from Montague street to
Alaska avenue, which is the biggest
street building job the District has un-
dertaken in recent months.
Planned to cost $4,000. present indi-
cations are that this improvement,
when finished, will represent an outlay
Of not less than $4,000. While suffl-
cient grading will have been done by
summer to permit Of its use to some ex-
tent as dirt road. the matchmaking
will not be finished Before fall. and it is
by no means certain that the street can
be dedicated to travel before winter.
To Finish Bridge Soon.
The $4,000 concrete bridge being con-
structed to carry 18th street over Mill
tary road is included In the total esti-
mated cost of the extension. This
structure will be finished within a
week or two.
reading from the bridge, or Military
road. to Alaska avenue has been COM
pleted and some grading between the
bridge and Montague street has been
done. The grading. It is expected. will
Last summer it was announced that
the work would be completed by fall.
and then the opening was postponed
until January. But for the severe
weather Of last winter. which put a
stop to work on the bridge. this part
OF the Improvement would have been
completed weeks ago. The bridge is
i40 feet long and has q carriageway Of
10 feet and two s-foot sidewalks, for a
total width Of 5s feet. 1t was con-
etructed by Charles Tomkins, who built
the concrete retaining wall along 18th
street opposite the residence of Mrs
Henderson.
Year Later Than Planned.
Labor is now so scarce that the
District engineer department will not
place an estimate on the time that
may be required for completing the
grading and macadamizing. other than
to say that 1t is hoped the street will
be ready for use by winter. more than
a year later than the date originally
set for the opening of the extension
to travel.
When 1eth street is improved to
Alaska avenue connection will have
been provided for reaching tho city
The most direct route. Of course. will
be 18th street itself. but it will be pos
sible also to go from 10th street by
way Of Alaska avenue and Kalmia
street to Georgia avenue. or from 18th
street by way of Alaska avenue and
Kalmia street to Beach drive and
thence into the city by the system of
park highways.
The extension of 18th street from
Montague street to Alaska avenue will
be little more than a mile in length
and practically will parallel the east
ern boundary of Rock Creek Park.

TERM GOODS" DENOUNCED.
Commissioner Claxton Upholds Dig
nifty. of Women's College Courses.

Denunciation Of the term ''coeds." as
applied to woman students Of colleges
and preparatory schools. was made by
Philander P. Claxton, United States
commissioner Of education, in an ad-
dress at the National School Of Domes-
tic Art and Science. Wisconsin avenue.
Sunday afternoon.
Commissioner Claxton's address was
based on the history Of the education
Of women. and a comparison was drawn
between the pioneer days Of women's
education and today. when women are
gaining high honors in the colleges of
the country.
II cannot see why, in these institu~
tionsS of higher education, women
should be relegated to the background
under the term 'coeds'," said DR.. Clax-
ton, when they take the same studies
the men take and. after they leave
school. in many cases, do the work OF
the men,"
Specialized education was praised by
DIR. Claxton. who said he believes in
twentieth century education for TWEEN.
ieth century people and for training
along the lines that will make the peo.
pie of this generation more efficient to
live under present conditions, meeting
present-day problems with present-day
equipment.
