disappearing there. Harpers Ferry is
free today, as is Frederick. Railroad
traffic is moving once more over the
Maryland main lines, which had been
completely blocked for several days.
1t will be months before normal
conditions are fully restored in that
section of the Potomac valley. one
of the most serious consequences OF
the flood was the partial destruction
of the highway bridge connecting
Harpers Ferry with the main highway
in Maryland
A hundred feet of the bridge was
washed down the Potomac yesterday
and the only approach TO Harpers
Ferry from Maryland now is via VIII
Transport twenty-five miles above
The bridge was the gateway to the
much travelled Shenandoah valley.
Bridge Built in 1858.
The bridge was built in 1853 and
used originally by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad Thirty years ago 1t
was converted into a vehicular traffic
bridge and sold to a company or " est

a toll bridge ever since. Whether or

To date only two zones, centering

Students Are Thrilled.
The most thrilling moment in the
life of a local high school pupil is
generally considered to come at that
period Immediately after the drilling
in the annual competitive drill OF the
high school cadets, when the Judges
have decided upon the winning com
pany, and march forward amid the
breathless suspense of those i'll the
crowded stands to pin the medal
upon the breast or the captain of the
winning company.
Something of the same feeling was
animating the high schools today in
relation to the selection of the winner
in the oratorical contest. While a
purely intellectual competition lacks
something of the glamour of the drilling
event. the interest in the oratorical
contest is very great.
More than 1000 scholars in the high
schools. private and parochial schools
actively participated in the local con-
test. As each school district elm
mated contestants and finally selected
their own winners. the interest grew.
both among the contestants themselves
and the remaining pupils.
Now that the chosen orators have
done their best and the final decision
is up to the judges interest continues
to mount in these pre-decsion days.

R|EDEL REPORTS
ON FIRE HAZARDS
Recommendations Omitted
0'Bfien to Investigate,

After six weeks investigation of fire
hazards, Jacob Riedel, chief Of fire
prevention, has submitted report on
his investigation in downtown build
ings without a single recommends
ton.
When the report reached Fire Chief
John j. O'Brien he said he would
start a personal investigation this
week with Francis f. Hamilton, city
building commissioner.
Riedel's report covered all the larger
buildings, but merely described the
property and pointed out no con-
structive way to remedy conditions.
O'Brien said he would make recon-
mendations, and would enforce them
if the city council and present State
statutes gave him authority.
The council has two ordinances be-
fore it now to remove fire hazards
One provides incased elevator shafts
with fireproof doors in buildings four
stories or more in height, and the
other requires smoke tower fire es-
capes on new buildings three stories
or more in height.
