a weight of eight hundred mil
lion pounds.
Twenty-one years ago the
bridge was planned big enough
Tor forty million human beings
q year. Now, to last until 1910,
1t must have a capacity Of two
hundred millions, witho It count
ing a hundred millions using the
tunnels now under the river.
One deck of the bridge will
carry twelve railroad tracks.
Above it, there will be an .-uto-
mobile road, planned to accom-
modate twenty five million
vehicles q year.
Five times as big as the first
Brooklyn bridge, with ten times
the steel tonnage of the gigantic
bridge at Quebec, this new en-
Rineering feat shows what men
can do and how nations grow.
A midshlpman at Annapolis
appears on crutches to tell, re-
luctantly, of brutal, cowardly
treatment inflicted upon him in
hazing. President Harding
should ask officers in charge Of
that institution how long they
propose to allow cowardice COM
bined with cruelty to remain IN
the education of American naval
officers.
'1f you want q good brain,
educate your great-great-grand-
father That's an old saying.
The moderp, saying. il, If you
want the children Of the nation
to have good teeth, see that the
mothers are properly fed.
An, army travels on its stom-
ach, according to Napoleon. An
individual travels on his teeth.
Without them no good health.
Without good health, no accom-
plishment.. Without we'll and
intelligently fed mothers, no
good teeth for the children. ,
That ought to interest the Gov
ernment as much as the proper
ration for a lady swine in the
CESSATION period. but it
doesn't. If you suggest that
government in this generation
should protect the mothers for
the sake of generations un-
born you hear howls from a
grand assortment of fools.
american marines enter
vladivostok." They find the
Russian port plunged in dark
ness, ravaged by the white
Army" that seeks to bring
back the czars. Will somebody
kindly tell what American ma
rines are doing in Vladivostok?
What business have we there?
Wise gentlemen in Washing
ton ought to know by this time
that they can't collect from
Lenin and Trotzky the millions
that American bankers stupidity
lent to the Car.
Why american marines in
Vladivostok?"
It will be said our marines
must protect our consulate. If
we refuse to do business with a
nation, why have a consulate?
Better take the consul aboard a
ship, leaving White Guards, Red
Guards, japanese and interested
European nations to fight it out.
The Earl Of Derby, with the
heavy, Handsome" face Of a
first-class London hanson cab
driver of the old times, is spoken
of as possible successor to Lloyd
George. The gentleman, praised
as, a typical Englishman, Is
exactly that, Of a certain kind.
Therefore he is typically unfit for
the work that took all the power
Of a great statesman, and that
will become increasingly difficult
ma the next war and the new
European alliances take shape.
A British bulldog is a very
fine thing in the dog show or
IN the House Of Lords, but is
not the right animal for
THINKING.
Rafet Pasha, representing
Kemal, says proudly, "We have
one of the biggest armies in
fhe world. We are the most
nowerful military nation. The
Turkish people have excited
the admiration of the entire
Possibly, although the entire
world doesn't know it. The
mart of European civilization
fhat financed Turkey and sup
niied weapons may later re-
gret IL. Civilization owes a
5ebt to Lloyd George, whose
lat important service was to
check Rafet and Kemal and
keep the Dardanelles out Of
their control.
What some new Tory Brit
ish bulldog" will do Is not GER
