PLAN TO OPEN NEW
BRIDGE NEXT WEEK

Unless somthing unforeseen pre-
vents. the new 100000 concrete
bridge at Georgetown will be open to
general traffic. vehicular and pedes-
new year. The exact date of the
new year. The aXact date Of the
opening depends entirely on weather
conditions. Without much rain, the
structure can be made ready for
public use early in the week. but d
series of heavy rainfalls will delay
the opening.
Though the bridge proper is COM
pleted, the clay cmbankment forming
the southern approach at Rosslyn
has not permanently settled and can
not be completed until the present
southern entrance 10 the Aqueduct
bridge is closed. ThA creninG of the
new bridge is made possible at this
time by laying Il temporary macadam
roadway at both approaches to the
bridge. The stone foundation of that
road has been laid and awaits only
the top dressing. packing and level
ing. a heavy rain before the road is
properly covered would weaken the
clay foundation and delay the work.
All Traffic to BE Diverted.
The new roadway at Rosslyn opens
directly onto the Military road to
fOTt vi anu dNchuC 'ui
west into the Cherrydale section OF
the proposed Lee highway and curves
east into the road to Alexandria,
When it is opened to traffic next
week the present entrance to the
Aqueduct bridge will be closed and
all vehicular traffic to Georgetown
will be diverted to the new George
town bridge. That action is neces-
sary to permit the widening of the
approach to tho new bridge and the
Installation of the tracks of the Capt.
tai Traction Company. which Will
form a loop at that point, as well as
for the erection of the train sheds OF
The Washington and Old Dominion
railroad. Until the new terminal of
the latter lines is established its cars
will be permitted to cross the Aque-
duct bridge to the present terminus
at 36th street, Georgetown.
Though the Capital Traction Com
many has installed its tracks entirely
across the Georgetown bridge. it will
not make connections with it's main
line at NJ street and build the pro-
posed loop at Rosslyn until March or
April next. The delay is due entirely
TO the fact that the Virginia ap-
proach of the bridge cannot be COM
Melted before that time. Because of
these facts the traffic arrangements
now being made for the use of the
new bridge, beginning next week, are
temporary only and will not be fixed
permanently until the Virginia ap-
proach is completed and the street
cars are in actual operation across the
bridge next spring.

TAXES.

TAXES, said Benjamin Franklin,
i'll discussing conditions in his day
and generation, "arc indeed, very
heavy, but of those laid OH by the
Government were the only oRcs we
had to pay, we might the more easi .
ly discharge them; but we have
many others, and much more griev-
Gus to some of US. We are taxec
twice rs much by our idleness, three
times as much by our PRIDE. and four
times as much by our folly; and
from these taxes the commissioners
cannot ease or deliver US by allow
ing an abatement"
The first principle of prosperity is
to have definite idea of your in
come and expenditures-particularly
your cxpenditures-and establish and
maintain intelligent relationship be.
tween the two. In, other words, con-
duct your personal affairs on "bud..
get basis.
1t is never easy to reduce eX
penditures or cost Of living. If one
half the effort which is made to in.
crease ones personal earnings wero
directed toward careful and. econom
ical management of ones personal
spending, long step would be TAX
ell toward solving our national eco
nomic problems. The average man
or woman will readily apply sys-
TEN of control over business or
household routine as to work to be
done things to be accomplished
but for some unknown reason w,Il
not apply the same control to per-
sonal financial affairs. Wise expen-
diture is not meanness Or stingness,
or any particular self-denial-it is
simply wise regulation. 1t is direct
ing the power of money and doing
away with lost motion.

HOME DEMONSTRATION NEWS.

A correspondent writes: az am a

know. = more about the different
kinds of food-especially the fuel
foods and the repair foods. When
should each kind be increased or de-
creased in amount? Also, please tell
us about fruits and vegetables-and
about the value of canned fruits?
Energy or fuel foods should be
eaten to keep the body warm and to
give strength for work. Among such
foods are potatoes, bread, cereals.
(rice, oatmeal, etc.), corn bread, sy
rup and other sugars. To keep rne
body in repair, eat limited amount
of the repair foods; these foods are
meats, eggs, cheese. nuts, peas beans,
and flesh floods (fish, fowls, etc.)
1t is generally thought that meats
and other repair foods should pu
eaten in increased amounts by pe1-
sons who do hard manual work or
are exposed to the cold; but this is
not necessary. 1t is the fuel foods
which should be increased, for they
produce both heat and energy. lii
heavy work such articles as bread,
potatoes, butter, and rice should be
eaten instead of more meats;-the,
provide strength and are easily di-
gested and do not cause the strah,
on the liver and kidneys produced by
eating meat.
Fruit should be eaten every day
if possible. Canned fruits are good
cooked fruits are also good-some
times better than fresh fruits, though
some fresh fruit is essential Eas
