Is Bridge Safe, He Asks.
n .bs Editor The Washington Herald:

To 'he Editor, The Warrington herhlu'
Permit me to call attention
through the columns Of the open
Court to a certain fact concerning
the antiquated Calvert street
bridge.t Reports have been given
out to 1.-THE effect that this rickety
structure has been inspected by
competent engineers ana pro-
nounced safe for traffic. 1t ap-
pears. however, that the opinions or
these engineering experts are not
shared by our fire department
NV attention has been attracted
by the fact that when nre COM
pany answers a call that requires
crossing from one side of the creek
to the other, instead of crossing
over the Calvert street bridge the
engines proceed along calvert
street to the corner OF Blltmore
street (Which is at the foot OF the
bridget then they turn to the let'
on Biltmore street. thence to Asn-
mead place. and from there to CON
necticut avenue. and cross over the
Connecticut avenue bridge. "hen
coming from the opposite direction
they use the same route.
When inquired the reason for
this roundabout method Of travel
ing adopted by the fire companies
which are supposed to take the
shortest available route, I was told
that the fire department did not
consider the Calvert street bridge
safe for the engines. / am not an
engineer, but don't you think that
a bridge which is not safe for
fire engine could not be safe for
al couple of street cars, dozen au-
tomobiles and a large number OF
pedestrians? Aren't the lives OF
civilians as valuable as those OF
firemen? Then. too, consider the
time lost by the fire engines in
deviating from the ordinary route
in order to avoid crossing over that
shaky. wornout and dangerous
bridge.

Engraving employees, without no.
tice, and refusing to give his rea-
sons, save the vague one, good of

of vital Importance, not only to
the public here but all over the
country. If the Civil Service law
passed by Congress and placed
upon the statute books requires
that such persons be given due
notice, and also that they be dis
charged only for good and valid
reasons, what right has the PresI-
dent of the United States to vio-
late this or any other law of the
country? And should he not be
treated as any, other lawbreaker?
The other point is this: The pub
lie have a right to know why these
people were discharged. II for

whatever reason, they have a
right to know. Civil Service has

wv OMAN at last is secure IN her status oi
w equality with man.
Revision of the Episcopal marriage ceremony
with the elimination of all references which might
indicate inferiority should be the most conclusive
step yet in the minds of feminist enthusiasts
The church ever has been the last to stamp
approval social innovations. The tempers OF
governments change. Laws and interpretations OF
laws swing slowly into the cycle OF change. But
religion, regardless of sect, seldom responds until
the cycle is complete.
That the change was made by one Of the
oldest and most conservative of churches will be
of additional comfort to the feminsts. 1t is con-
elusive evidence that the new order has come
into its
Feminist success has resulted from this new
order in society-it had little to do with bringing
it into being. While it good social economy

there. She has emerged from this condition
through her evolution. 1t should afford her
still more self-satsfaction the result.
When the churches admit that she is no
longer "the lesser man" she has established her
position on firm ground. Now the more radical
feminist leaders go ahead with their plans for
making her the greater man." They may look
ahead with degree of confidence to the day

OF the Christian era. DR.. Curtis =
Marbut. Of the Department Of AKri-
culture sailed on on a three-months'
soil study trip 10 Europe. The main
object Of his trip is TO correlate
American soil work with tbsf
which has been done in European
countries
Results Of scientific vsIu. and
later practical use are expected
from this investigation. AIthoUeb
most of the nations to b. visited
nave not studied their soils in de-,
tail as has been done in this coun-
try, they know more about soils in
a broad way. European countries
have done much in fndinE a basis
Tor diherenpating large soil rroups
ana nave learned much from Ions
periods Of cultivation Of the land
Dr. Marbut hopes to gather inforus
ton that may lead TO the adoption
OF a common terminology in de-
scribing soils and soil problems
1t is probable that many of the
soil types in Europe are similar 70
some of those in the United States,
ana analyses of the samples q he
collected will show how nearly alike
they are. Soils I'm the Scandinavia
countries, Finland, and parts Of
Germany are thought to resemble
some of the Northern United States
In Southern Germany. France, Po-
land, and possibly in Southern Eng
land is group of soils that may
be much like those found in Mary
land. and parts Of PennSylvauis
and Ohio. The rich wheat lands Of
Southern Russia and parts Of Ru-
mania are perhaps a great deal like
those in North and South Dakota
Dr. Marbut plans to meet a Eroup
OF soil scientists in Prague and
after that he will collect soil
samples and talk with scientists in
France, Germany, Czecho- -Slovakia.
Austria, Hungary. Rumania, Jugn-
Slavia. Latvis. Spain. the British
Isles. Italy. and Greece. In England
he will visit the famous old expert
ment station at Rothsmstead In
Italy and Greece he will study and
take samples OF those old soils that
have been cultivated for 1000 years
and that are said never to have been

More Civil Service.
he Edition. INC Washlngton Herald :

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Anent the question of the ef-
fciency of the Civil Service system
now being discussed in your open
Court. l would like to insert Few
remarks.
The Civil Service as the most log
ical and businesslike system OF gov
ernment employment is here 10
stay. Those who see its flaws and
are in positions of influence should
use their bowers to develop the
principles that have been so faE
evolved and lead in a forward move
ment for betterment rather than
attempt to go back to system al
ready discarded because of its
faults.
The faults of the present system.
pointed out by its opponents (wno
are advocating a return to the polit-
ical spoils system). are due TO an
injection of the political system into
the Civil Service. One of these peo-
pie says that clerks spend theiE
rime making secure their positions
How? and why? BY political pulls'
and because they know that merit
counts for little at CRITICAL tlme
and a political pull counts Tor much.
The tault Is uue " SOil
of the Civil Service by the political
system. If Civil Service were at
all times in force. clerks would
spend their time in increasing their
efficiency. The objection raised is
itself an argument against the
political system.
Those in the service in the old
dsvs telll of how clerks would put
on their hats and go out and enjoy
a stroll any time they pleased dur
ing office hours. Why? Because
the way they got and retained
their positions was political serv-
ice and their work for the govern
ment was merely an incidental tea-
ture of thei- reward. No ore
thought of taking it up as career.
one writer points out that the
capahle men leave the service uh-
der the present system. why,
again? Because they know thelr
ability does not stand far sho"
against the political pull of others
They come to realize that II they
have real ability II will be mucn
more apt to be recognized ana re-
wa-ded in the business world.
Enforce the Civil Service in spirit
as well as in letter and most OF ths
objections will disappear. The rem
edy is not in having less civil Serr-
ice. but IN having more or II IN
spirit and in truth, just as II has
been said that the remedy for the
ills of democracy is more and not
less democracy. B. D.
