MEMORIAL BRIDGE FOR DELAWARE

A beautiful bridge at Wilmington is the memorial that
the state of Delaware has chosen to erect for the soldiers
from that state who paid the extreme sacrifice in the late
war. The memorial was dedicated with fitting ceremony on
Memorial Day. People from all parts of the state gathered
for the occasion. Dignitaries were present not only from
Delaware, but from adjoining states. Following the exer-
cises thousands of school children marched across the
bridge singing and strewing flowers.
Placed on bronze tablets on the bridge are the names
Of the soldiers who died in the war.
The bridge itself is 100 feet long; it is constructed Of
reinforced concrete with five arches, the largest arch over
the main bed of the Brandywine river being $50 feet wide.
We call this attention to the memorial that the state Of
Delaware has erected TO her soldiers because the Evening
News has urged upon numerous occasions that the state
highway bridge across the Rartan river between the Amboys
be made the New Jersey memorial for the boys who went
from this state. A bridge on which about 81 200, 900 is to
be spent without any thought of being a memorial is no mean
sfructure. With the memorial idea carried out it could be
ereatly beautifed.
Located wholly within the state, crossing the largest
siream, about half way between the north and south, it forms
The connecting link between the two sections. 1t is crossed
by thousands of people every year and is within the sight OF
thousands more who get an excellent view of the structure
from the New York and Long Branch railroad trains. The
bridge has everything to recommend it as a fitting memorial

mean sea level M. d. ".
A. The average height of the wa
ter, all stages of the tide considered,
ID mean sea level. At ocean stations
the half tide level usually differs
but slightly from mean sea level.
@. What is the meaning of tho
words "Thesaur. amer. Septent ST.
gill;" found on the seal on all paper
money?-R. X.
A. The seal is that of the Treas
ury, and the words are the abbrevia-
ton for the Latin sentence THE
sauri Americae Septentrionalis ST.
gillum." The literal translation is
"Of the Treasury of America North
Seal"
Q. Who lighted the lamps in the
belfry tower of the Old North
Church on the night of Paul Re-
vere's midnight ride?-I. ID.
A. There has long been a contro-
versy between the descendants OF
two families concerning the iden-
tity of the friend of Paul Revere
who placed the signal lantern in
the Old North Church in Boston.
Some claim that the lights were
placed by Robert Newman, at that
time section of the North Church,
others contend that it was John
Pulling, an intimate friend of Re-
we're from the time of his boyhood.
Historians for the most part now
give the credit to Newman.

n,ore difficult when an artist is re-
| ha affiliated, Is he a full nedged
artist when he paints his first prom
Using picture; or when he makes MS
first sale? The government has a
number of students of the arts
among its %proteges. One group OF
men is studying at a school OF Illus,
trating in New York with such Wen
known artists as Charles Dana Gid
son and Howard Chandler Christy
as their teachers. Another vet
eran. a Baltimore tailor, has spent
two years studying sculpture, in
which he has always been greatly
interested, and now he has gone TO
work in Rome.
All of the men whom the gov
eminent has undertaken to have
trained were unable to return TO
their old positions on a competitive
basis with other men. These vet
Grams have not been permitted to
take up new lines of work in which
they would be handicapped.
Right Men for the Jobs
The bureau is trying to impress
on the public the fact that 1t need
not hesitate to employ the rehabili-
tated men. The government is not
sending out any one-legged park
gardeners. A mar who was so badly
injured about the face hat he is at
a disadvantage in meeting people
Is not trained to be a travelling sales
man. On the other hand h loss OF
a leg does not affect the work OF a
craftsman and a disfigured face is
not a handicap to a stock breeder.
The disabilities of the men are of
all kinds and degrees, from the loss
of members of faculties to chronic
bronchitis and asthma, and special
attention has been given to finding
them suitable and c%ongenial voca-
tons.
The employment section is dis
tinctly proud Of the fact that so
many of the bureaus t%rainees have
a greater capacity now than they
had in their pre-war occupations. A
typical case is that of a man who
had been a landscape gardner on a
large estate. He lost n arm and
is now an auditor in the govern
ment service at $1,000 more a year
than he was earning before the war.
The veterans bureau says that It
is starting its employment service
with men of fine caliber. A report
has just come from the University
of Florida, stating that the average
scholarship in its law department is
s5.5 per cent. for the trainees of
the veterans bureau, while other
students averaged 70 per cent.
At the Carnegie Institute of Tech
nology this spring seventeen out of
the twenty war veterans in the
graduation class are honor men.
Similar records are being made by
the governments students in other
schools.
This is attributed partly to the
fact that the veterans average
twenty-six years in age. They are
more mature, therefore, than the
ordinary run OF college students.
Then. too, they appreciate the ad-
vantage of training. They keep at
their studies with the single aim of
getting back into the worlds work.
The government is confident that its
proteges a make good.

Prohibitionists Demand
Canada Absolutely Dry

OTTAWA, March 8.-Prohibition
advocates to-day called on Premier
King to make all of Canada bone dry.
The Premier promised that the sugges-
tion for a Dominion wide measure to
supplant provincial liquor laws would
receive careful consideration by the
Cabinet. but that no such measure
could be introduced at the present ses-
sion of the House Of Commons.
Explaining that his ministers had
hardly had enough time to familarize
themselves with their problems, the
Premier added that for his own part
he favored temperance in everything
and prohibition in nothing. He as
sured the delegation that waited upon
him that the government would do
everything it could to foster the tenn
perance movement and in assisting the
provinces to enforce the laws as they
now stood.
In considering any measure to ban
the manufacture. importation and
in Canada the Premier indicates that
careful study would be made of how
the experiment was working out in the
United States.

preparation Deprecated
as Backset to Economy
Subject of Cabinet Talk
Prediction Freely Made That
President Is Preparing
to Apply the Big Stick

From The Trtbunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 2S-The ac-
tlon of Congress in riding rough shod
over the Administration economy pro-
gram by adding SIS, 900 900 to the army
bill for rivers and harbors was de-
plored by the President to-day. The
House, by its action. ignored the esti-
mate submitted by Bureau of the
Budget Director Dawes and proved that
the Budget Bureau, if it is to succeed.
has many hard political battle, ahead
of it.
1t was said at the White House to-
day that the President is to be insist
ent that the budget system gets fair
trial. He feels that it has measureless
possibilities for good and is sorry that
the House apparently does not feel as
he does.
General Dawes himself had one or
two acrid comments to make to-day on
the action of Congress, none of which
were to be quoted, however.
Discussed With Cabinet
The President, it is understood dis
cussed the matter with the members of
his Cabinet at to-day's meeting 1t
was pointed out that decided reaction
against further efforts toward economy
in government bureaus and depart
ments was bound TO result from the
attitude of Congress toward the budget
estimate. The army bill for rivers and
harbors carried a sum of $27,000,00O
bo Il T.
succeeded in jamming on another S15,-
10000. Despite warnings from Ma
jority Floor Leader Mondell and other
Republicans the measure went through
At the White House to-day the Presi-
dent, in discussing the bill with the
newspaper correspondents, looked far
from pleased. For moment it ap-
pearcd that his mind was made up to
say nothing. Then he indicated that
he was sorry the House acted as it did.
Further Conferences Predicted
Administration leaders said further
conferences by Representatives with the
President would result.
The action by the House in ignoring
the statements prepared by the director
of the budget in these times, when
economy is stressed so heavily, has in
censed the President far more than
he would admit
His face darkened as he dismissed
the subject by saying that the budget
system held measureless possibilities
for good.
1t is openly stated here that the
President is about ready to swing the
big stick on Congress.
The House, by making such an ap-
preparation, according to Admnstra-
tion leaders, has not merely offended
the President, but has further an
tagonized public sentiment

Az joint session yesterday of the
New York and New Jersey vehicular
tunnel commissions in the Hall of Rec
ords the contract for the building of
the twin tubes from Canal Street,

sey City, was formally awarded to the

the excavation work will begin about
May 1.
Clifford NJ. Holland chief engineer
of the tunnel commission, told the
commissioners yesterday that through
d><a furnished him by Robert Ridgway
chief engineer of the Transit Commits
sion, he could enlighten them on
comparison of costs in tunnel construc-
ton. He said:
The actual cost of the vehcular
tunnels is only about 10 per cent great
er than the tunnels contracted for in
1914. In detail the average bid price
Tor the vehicular tunnels for cast-iron
lining is about the same as the prices
received for constructing the rapid
transit tunnels. Cast iron in the case of
the vehlcular tunnels will be about 81
per cent of the total cost, as compared
with 80 per cent for rapid transit tun-
nels. The estimate cost for excavation
for the vehicular tunnels is about "A
per cent of the total cost of the work
S compared with so per cent in the
cost of the rapid transit tunnels. In
this connection it is to be noted that
the average unit cost for excavation
for the vehicular tunnels is $2l 80 per
cubic yard in 1929, as compared with
S2040 per cubic yard for excavation
Tor the rapid transit tunnels in 1914.
In consideration of the above the ques-
tion arises as to whether costs, on ac-
count of general business conditions
and general reduction in prices, have
dropped nearly to pre-war level or
whether the larger tunnels are cheaper
per unit Of ross-sectional area In my
opinion, the extremely favorable prices
received are due to a com bination of
conditions, as just stated
Mr.. Holland conducted a demonstra-
ton with short model of the vehicu.
lar tunnel to show the commissioners
how it is to be aired. BY the use Of
smoke Gin the test representing air. he
showed the intake Of the air and its
suction through the roof of the tunnel
to a chamber where the air pumps will
take care of it. Mr.. Holland said that
tests had been conducted in a Pennsyl-
vania coal mine 1000 feet deep with an
appliance such as he exhibited yester-
day and that the test on a large scale
was entirely satisfactory
