The Dangers From Old
District Bridges
BY BILL PRICE.

Although Col. CHARLES H. KELLER Engineer
Commissioner of the District, has publicly declared
that the Calvert street and Klinge Ford bridges
safe and in good condition. it is not brought out
that police regulations restrict the weight of traffic
these structures to vehicles carrying, including
their weight, not six tons. Nor is it pointed out
that the two bridges under frequent repair and
that when this is going on, traffic is slowed down
and other precautions taken all giving the travel
ing public creepy feeling.
There is escaping the fact that the Calvert
street bridge and the Connecticut avenue,
known the Klngle Ford structure were built in
1890, thirty-two years ago, before auto trucks
heavy automobiles built. They designed
to for the traffic needs Of that time Any
gneer of the District government will tell you that
roads and bridges constructed in recent years
are out of date because of the development of the
heavy auto truck factor in transportation.
Five years ago the Engineer Department of the
District constructing roadways, avenues and
streets of ordinary macadam and felt sure that the
material ample to for traffic needs for
to come. Modern trucks and heavy automobiles have
knocked the theories of that date into cooked hats
and the Engineer Department has for months been
turning toward heavy cement roadways as the solu
tion of present-day traffic conditions Old macadam
roads nave been cut TO pieces. 1ney must eltner DE
replaced by macadam of much greater thickness
by cement asphalt.
There can be no doubt that the two bridges
toned Anticipated and untitled for modern
and it is high time that District authorities
quanting Congress with the true situation and begin
ming official efforts to build structures that will be
modern and of sufficient strength to meet all traffic
conditions.
That the bridges unsghtly is everywhere ad-
mitted They entire out of keeping with de
veopments in that part of Washington. The view
might be taken that Congress will not now want to
appropriate money for bridges, but economy
should never stand in the way of progress or come
ahead of possible dangers to the travelling public
Street traffic over the two bridges is protected
by independent supports, but when the Engineer De
partment admits it does through police regua-
tons and signs that other traffic must be restricted
it is fitting that action should be taken to insure the
travelling public against eventualities.
The bridge the Eastern branch Pennsyl-
vania avenue southeast is another that should be
placed whenever Congress can be induced to furnish
the money. This bridge, built many years ago to
handle the comparatively light traffic of those days
is daily subjected to the heaviest sort of traffic.
All three of these bridges may be safe for the i'm
mediate present, under restricted travel but the
sooner they done away with and modern bridges
erected the better it will be for Washington.

Preserving
Our HiStOrU

Dy superintendent Ettlnger,
Of New York, to inquire into the
charge that text books on Amer
lean history were being used to
minimize the achievements and
belittle the personalities of our
Revolutionary sires, as well as to
convey propaganda for British
alliance, has concluded its inquest.
1t finds the charge sustained in
part or whole with respect to
twelve of 14O text books examined.
The names of these twelve books
follow:
"History of the American
People," by Willis Mason West,
published by Allyn & Bacon in
1918.
"a History of the United
States for Schools" by Nc
Laughlin & Van Tyne, pub
lished by D. Appleton & Co. in
1919.
"Our United States History"
by William Backus Guitteau,
Phi. D., published by Silver,
Burdett & Go. in 1919.
Short American History"
by grades, by Everett Barnes,
published by D. G. Heath & Co.
1913.
"Sehool History of the United
States" by Hart.
american Government" by
Magruder.
"Burke's Conciliation," by
Ward.
"History of the United
States" by Morris.
american Government" by
Beard.
The committee does not con-
denim all of these books unre-
servedly, but finds in each pas
sages which it considers objection
able.
Hearings are also in progress
before Commissioner of Accounts
Hirschfield, at which leading Off
Gals of patriotic societies have
representatives. Their purpose is
to induce a nation wide audit of
history teaching.
Such an audit cannot be too
widespread or thorough.
We do not need to erect a
mythology around the human
authors of our national independ.
ence, but we should preserve
reverence for their spirit, charac.
ter and achievements.
Above all, we should scourge
out of our schools every attempt
however cunning or insidious, to
wean our young from sturdy
Americanism in order to make
them facile victims to foreign in,
trigue.
Our Revolutionary fathers were
not demigods. They had their
natural share of human frailty
But they did a work the equal OF
which in value to us and tc
humanity has not been performed
since history took note Of men Z
achievements.
They builded a structure Of
human liberty which has brought
to all men a new inspiration ant
an unsurpassed example.
