To BE Worlds Greatest Bridge.

Preliminary work on the worlds
largest suspension bridge-the Phila-
delpha- Camden Delaware river bridge
lis expected to begin within the next
few days, now that the final site for
the structure has been decided on
The Philadelphia end of the bridge
will be at Franklin square, while the
Camden end will be at Second and
Pearl streets. Both ends are but a
short distance from the main thorough
! fares Of the two cities.
The bridge, which will cost $685.
S7l 900, will have a span OF l,750
feet, $50 feet longer than the Williams
burg bridge, which is at present the
largest. From approach to approach
the bridge will stretch $3.50 feet, more
than mile and a half. II will be
125 feet wide in the center Of the span
and l35 feet above mean high tide.
The bridge is OF the two cable sus-
pension type, each cable to be 81
inches in diameter, with 1881 wires
1872 of an inch in diameter.
The first work to be done will be the
construction Of caissons in the Della
ware river bed. Several streets will
have to be widened and many build.

bridge. Engineers hope to have the
bridge finished in 1925 or 1926. Open.

Ralph Modjeski, chairman OF the
board Of engineers for the bridge, de.

Preventing Children's Diseases.

"Why prevent chiliren's diseases ?"
some one may ask. Every child has
TO have them sometime, and the soon.
er the better"
J The person who talks in that way
generally argues from the common be-
lief that measles or scarlatina is more
serious in an adult than il is in a child
That is not so; but even il il were so.
il would still be wise not to expose a
child to them, since the older he grows
the less likely he is 10 take them.
There are only two ways to protect
child from disease: one is TO keep
him in perfect health by providing him
with proper food and good air and see
ing that he gets proper exercise, and
the other is to keep him away from
any child who NAV carry contagion.
The first way is only relatively effective.
but the second is certain. II Is easy
enough OF course TO keep a child away
from a companion who is sick enough
10 be in bed or in the house: il is not
so easy and is quite rs important TO
keep him from the playmate who is
convalescent, for ignorant parents often
permit the convalescent child TO seek
his friends while he is still able to
transmit the disease.
When such child ceases to be dan
gerous depends on what disease he has
had. After measles and German
measles child should not mingle with
other children until at least a week
after the eruption has disappeared.
After scarlet fever he should see no
other children for three weeks; after
chicken poX, not until all the pimplcs
have completely healed; after mumps
he should see none OF his playmates
for several days after the swelling has
disappeared; after whooping cough he
should keep from them for week or
ten days after the last "whoop." Fol.
lowing diphtheria child will be q
menace to his mates as long as the
germs OF the disease remain in his
throat, il NAV be for weeks and ever
for months, Only physician, by max
ing cultures, can tell whether or no
germs are still present in the child
throat A cold in the head is not dis
tinctively a children's disease, bu
children should be kept away from
anyone who has it.

A Bad Sign.

When YOU get up out Of an arm
chair, how co YOU do it?
Do YOU push yourself up with your
hands on the arms of the chair?
IL you do, its a bad sign, according
to Walter Camp, President Of the New
Haven Clock Company, and an au-
thority on physical development
You should be able to get up out of
an armchair without the aid Of your
arms and hands, and simply by the
muscles of your legs and trunk.
That Walter Camp knows what he is
talking about is evinced by the fact
that he was asked to take charge Of
athletics At various naval stations and
army camps. II also became his duty
to keep the Cabinet members and the
"dollar-a-year men" fl during the war.
He devised a series of simple and
easy exercises (anybody can do them)
which he calls the "Daily Dozen"
Mr.. Camp got the idea underlying them
all from watching Gagged wild animals
A Gagged tiger, for instance, never both
ers about exercising his front and hind
legs, but he stretches his body in all
sorts OF ways. Dogs and cats do the
same.
Nearly all OF Mr.. Camps exercises
are waist and trunk movements. cal
culated TO develop the lung and alb
dominal cavities, the muscles covering
the shoulder blades, and the muscles
OF the neck, back and abdomen.

Triumph Of Women Over Men
Looms in Maryland Politics

the democratic state central COM

dozen males the Mahon faction is to
get six and the Kelly faction to get
six. But whose will the twelve wom-
en- be? The woman. if such there be,
to whom the feminine dozen will look
will be the dominant democratic pow
er in Baltimore: at least. that is the
way some of the forecasters reason
Perhaps there will be no such domi-
nant female. women will never fol-
low women" This is the axiom that
some of the men like to comfort them
selves with. But signs of feminine
political manipulation are not lack
ing. Some. of the onlookers say that
Miss Henrietta d. Stonestreet. secre-
tary of the democratic women's club
OF Baltimore, is the coming feminine
political power. The twelve women
indorsed by this organization for
places on the state central committee

was she who escorted them to the Of

chaperoned them through the process

the democratic women Of the twelfth

roundly .'panned." Said DIR. Nellie
". Mark: 'The guidance Of capable
leaders, rather than the control of
allied bosses, is the greatest need Of
the democratic party" Dr. Mark is
a feminist of local repute. This
being the case, 1t Is not hard to para
phrase capable leaders" into woman
leaders" This, at least. ia. the way
some of the trembling males dope it
out.
They see political domination, at
any rate among the city democrats,
within the grasp of women-that is
to say. within the grasp of one or
two women who shall combine polit-
ical acumen with practical methods
of playing the game. Will the women
realize their opportunity, and will
capable leaders" mean woman
masculine POLITICIANS are furtfvely
At any rate, the women have been
far more active this week than the
men, jumping into the campaien at
practically the first opportunity. The
first campaign speech by a woman
candidate for Office in Baltimore was
made Wednesday nightly Mrs. Frank
