Press of Nation Speculates
On Mrs. Ross Administration

Inauguration of Mrs Nellie Tayloe
Ross, Governor of Wyoming, brings
from the press of the Nation much
Renaissance and speculation as to
the outcome of the experiment with
the first woman as executive of a
Comm onwealth. IF in January, 1920
several months before the nineteenth
amendment was adopted" observes
the Bristol Herald Courier, some one
had predicted that within Ave years
there would be two woman COVER
nors in this country, most everybody
would have wanted to know how he
or she got that way
The revolution in Russia is as
nothing compared to the admission of
women to an posts, places and ranks
of life, in private business and in
government" declares the Savannah
News, which adds: But, what are
you going TO do about it all? And
the answer to that question is easy
The answer Is: Nothing. Nothing can
be done. What the woman decides
will decide everything. If the home
suffers, the woman will cause IL to
suffer. If she prefers a career to
home-that's her business and mere
men cannot help e."
Mrs. Ross issued a statement just
after her election last Fall which
read: II shall never be indifferent to
the welfare of women, but l think.
as usual thing. the interest of men
and women are interviewer in the
state just as in family life. They
share alike the benefits of prosperity
or the distress attendant upon hard
times"
There is creed which few
Jealous advocates of the feminist
movement will do well to ponder"
remarks the Kalamazoo Gazette. "One
OF the things which have done more
than anything else to retard the cam
paign for equal rights is the per
sistent, ill-advised effort to regard
the two sexes as classes whose in
terests are Numerically opposed. How
long the prospect OF a feminine leader
at Washington will continue to be a
ready subject for vaudeville humor-
lists depends largely upon the show
ing to- be made by the exalted rep
resentatives of the so-called weaker
sex in Wyoming and Texas"

serves the Rock Island Argus, "ap-
pears to be getting stronger politi
cally because of the failure or re-
fusal of men to take more seriously
their pledges to the people. The
average mans conception of public
Office is to promise everything before
election and do nothing afterward."
It's long span of years, says the
Little Rock Arkansas Gazette, from
the days, when, even in the courts
woman was recognized as q chattel
to the inauguration ceremony which
placed Gov, Ross at the helm of the
ship of state with crew of some
100000 souls" But, adds the Gazette
after the novelty of having

Memorial Bridge Progress.

Col. Sheriff., director OF public build
ings and parks. announces that every
major bid for the Arlington Memorial
Bridge will be let within 80 days,
and that it is now hoped that the
bridge will be completed by March 4,
1880, four and a half years hence.
If this program can be carried
through a remarkable record will
have been achieved. A work of this
character is necessarily slow. 1t must
be thoroughly prepared for and ex-
ecuted Every unit Of the work must
be perfectly done. In the case of a
bridge of this description conditions
make for slow progress. The Arling.
ton Bridge will span the Potomac by
means Of series of arches requiring
number of piers, each one of which
is a problem in engineering. Founda-
tIvI,s must be carried to bed rock
within water-tight caissons. The con-
struction of these shafts to the river
bottom, to be sunk steadily as excava-
ton progresses, is in itself slow and
tedious process. 1t cannot be rushed.
Lives are at stake.
Completion Of the bridge by the 4th
of March, 1890, will put that great
structure in commission in about so

Dangerous Economy.

One Of the useless. unsightly and
dangerous experiments In stop" signs
last night caused the serious injury
Of a motor cycle policeman at the in
tersection Of Eighteenth street and
New Hampshire avenue northwest. It
only remained for an accident of this
kind to show the utter futility Of
economy in carrying out the broad
plan Of boulevard highway develop
ment in the National Capital.
The signs used at this intersection
and at the corner Of Eighteenth
street and Massachusetts avenue are
worse than makeshifts. They are
positively dangerous to all travel
Placed in the middle Of the street
these distractions are not lighted, and
are large enough almost to upset a
small car If hit at the proper angle.
AS for motor cycles and bicycle riders,
there is no chance for escape.
It has been the practice in Wash
ington and other cities to light ade-
quately all obstrucuons placed in the
street. During the last few years H.
Eliminating engineers have discovered
that in certain cases a light Is not
necessary IL the rays Of lights from
motor cars can be made to reflect from
small prisms in the signs themselves
This plan was evidently attempt
ed when these four signals were laid
down, because each sign has a small
piece OF red glass at the front. That
this glass does not reflect the lights
on the street and the lights Of motor.
lists could not have occurred to the
constructors.
Director Eldridge should order their
removal at once. Continuance will re-
suit in serious injuries and possible
death to riders Of motor cycles and
bicycles, smashing of springs and
axles on automobiles and suits against
the District for unlighted obstructions
in the street.
Signs for boulevard streets and all
other signs, for that matter, should
be kept out Of the roadway in so far
as Is practicable. In carrying out the
boulevard system adequate signs
should be placed on the curb, in addi.
ton to the word stop" painted in the
street. Cluttering up the highway
with signals will only result in slow
ing down traffic, even if they are safe
as far as accidents are concerned.
Makeshifts should not be tolerated
at any time. The boulevard system is
too important to the thousands of
users of motors in Washington 1t is
have to insist that the system be
completed or recommend its aban-
donment.

Urban Aviation Fields.

A plan is projected for roof on a
proposed new post Office in the city Of
Chicago large enough to permit the
landing Of mail planes The building.
If erected according to the present
ideas, will cost, SIT, 900, 900. and the
platform will be two city blocks in
length. BY means of it the air.nail
time between Chicago and Eastern
points will be cut by nearly an hour,
which is required now to transfer
mail from the landing field in the
suburbs.
There is nothing fantastic about
this idea of a roof-landing place. It
has been suggested as an inevitable
development of aviation. AS long as
the present type of plane is used
long spaces will be necessary for the
launching and landing Of heavier-than-
air craft. Unless the helicopter, or
vertically rising and descending plane,
is perfected, any service. commercial
or official, win cali for large spaces
for starting and stopping.

The Cheesemaker.

The movement TO develop dairying
in Nebraska has encouraged the be.
ginning of an infant cheese industry.
With sound business management and
the production of types which will ap.
peal to the palates of world which
seems to be rather fond of cheese,
there is no reason why the industry
should not prosper in this State.
According to a bulletin of the De-
partment of Commerce, the cheese
consumption of the world was 50,00o..
600 pounds greater last year than the
year before. The United States is one
of the three great cheese-tmporting
nations.
A great deal Of foreign cheese will
probably continue to be imported, even
with the development of the industry
in this country. because there will al
ways be those who prefer certain fla.
vors which can only be had from
abroad.
However, a great deal can be done
in the cultivation of a taste for Amer
fcan types of cheese and In the build
ing up of foreign markets. Cheese. it
appears, is to continue to grow in
popularity as an important article of
diet. Nebraska, If it will, can become
an important purveyor of this kind of
food, as it already is of butter, pork.

or plane-storage establishments must
be maintained within the heart Of the
city. These may be located on the
outskirts. For practical service. how
ever. landing points for the discharge
OF mail, of small-compass freight and
passengers must be placed within the
business sections Of the cities.
The essence Of airplane service is
speed. 1t does not justify itself If
in saving time in actual transit
there is loss OF time at the starting
and stopping points. Recently a naval
plane few from Philadelphia to this
city in less time than was required for
her passengers to reach the starting
place in the former city and the center
Of Washington from the landing place
here. In Washington the shortest
transit from. for example, The Star
Building to Boiling Field requires As
minutes, more than the time required
to fly to Baltimore.
1t calls for no stretch Of the inag-
ination to envision in the near future
facilities within the center OF each city
for the launching and landing Of
planes in official or commercial serv-
ice. AS the art develops. and as pilots
are trained. the distance necessary for
starting and landing grows less. But
with the heavier.than-air machine Of
the present type 1t will always be
necessary to provide stretches OF sew
eral hundred feet for this purpose

perimental stage, may solve this prob

Washington and Arlingto with link
sections. The first proposal was made
In the early eighties, but was not
seriously considered until half a dozen
years later, when actual plans were
advanced for the construction. Dur
ing the nineties a corner stone for the
proposed memorial bridge was donated
by one of the labor organizations. 1t
lay FOR some years on the vacant
ground at the corner OF Pennsylvania
avenue and Madison place. the site
of the present Treasury annex.
Again and again efforts to secure
an appropriation for the memorial
bridge were made in Congress. On
several occasions this item was writ
ten into the sundry civil bin in. the
Senate, only to be eliminated in con-
ference upon the objection Of the
House. For a time it seemed as though
this would become a perennial failure.
But the practical need OF another
bridge between the Capital and Arling-
ton was strikingly demonstrated on
the occasion OF the dedication Of the
tomb OF the Unknown Soldier at
Arlington on the 11th Of November,
1921. An immense throng attended the
ceremonies and jammed the two avail
able bridges in a manner to prove that
a broad, direct avenue Of approach TO
the national shrine in Virginia should
be provided. It then became assured
that eventually provision would be
definitely made. Some delay was
caused by a difference OF opinion as to
the precise line Of the bridge. Presi-
dent Harding settled this question in
his capacity as chairman Of the bridge
commission in favor Of the direct
course from the Lincoln Memorial.
Col. Sheriff., the executive Of the
bridge commission. having given as
surance Of the prosecution of this
work as speedily as conditions permit,
the public may rest assured Of the
achievement OF q completion by the
18th of March, 1880, unless some vista
ton Of nature or some extraordinary,
now unforeseen, difficulty arises. In
the hands of this efficient officer the
