Has the Monument Moved !

A member of Congress has received
q letter from a constituent asking
"who moved the Washington Monu-
rent?" The constituent had heard
man say on ira in that wears ago the
Monument had been moved. constitut-
ing one of America greatest engi-
neeriug feats.
If the Representative wishes To re-
ply he NAV find the facts in the rec
ords of the office of the chief of Engi-
neers Of the Army, and also in the
hles of The Star for many years. The
story Of the moving" OF the Wash
ington Monument. which WAS not
moving al all. has been often told, but
Is worth retelline at any time. for IL
Ia tale of a truly remarkab BILE ensi-
neering feat which deserves perpetua

When after many years marked by
no progress whatever on the construc-
ton OF the monument 10 the First
President Congress voted to take over
the work and 10 complete it as ma
made of the unfi nished structure and
II was found that the foundation was
inadequate to bear the proposed shaft.
1t was thereupon decided to replace
the old foundation with new one. TO
substitute concrete for masonry.

'sary to undermine il and To replace
the founda ton. bit by bit. Everybody
recognized this as one OF the most
difScuit tasks, but 1t was accomplish
ed without arrangement OF the struc-
ture already sta nding.
The plans for this stupendous piece
Of engineering were prepared and
were successfully executed by Col.
Thomas Lincoln Casey OF the Engi-
neer Corps Of the Army, then superin-
tendent Of public buildings and
grounds and long afterward chief of
Engineers. Col. Casey went at the
fob as though 1t were an ordinar y
piece of work. He undermined and
underpinned the great unfinished
shaft. removed the old masonry foun-
dation piece by piece, substituted con.
crate for stone, broadened the base
below ground, and 80 accura tely
was the work done. SO perfect were

but the fact stands as one which will
cause sreat rejoicing.
The struggle has lasted for nearly

miners. who have long since passed
the point at which an increase ui

The Bridge Tragedy.

One woman was killed ana another
probab lv fatally injured last night
when the motor car which one OF
them was driving skidded GA the Cal
vert Street Bridge and plunged
through the himsy railing I" the val
lev OF Rock Creek 20 feet below. one
more fatal accident was thus added
10 the ia pidly mounting toll of DISTRICT
bridge disa Sters: disa that could
engineering acumen in the construc-
ton Of the bridges.
All Washington is asking itself the
question toda y-how many lives VIII
be snuffed out on the bridges OF the
District before iimsy ratings are re
placed by subst initial ones: before high
curbings are installed TO insure motor
lists keeping in the roadway. and be
fore unsafe md rickety structures are
eliminated and bridges Of a capacity
erected.
Washington has already paid heav-
iIv in human lives. Must there be n
further sacrifice before steps are taken
Ia correct these glaring evils? Mus,
it's motorists demonstrate further that
the ratings OF All the bridges are in
adequate: that the curhs do not pre-
vent cars from mounting the side
walk and sma shing the ratings. and
must a bridge cola pse before it is re-
placed by a substa initial structure?
Counting last nights tragedy. mo
torists have now involuntariiy tested
the ratings Of three bridges in the
District. the new Connecticut Avenue
Bridge. the klingle Ford Bridge and
the Calvert Street Bridge. Two of
them were fatal. but in All cases the
ratings crushed like matchwood before
the onslaught. and the automobiles
experienced no check whatever when
they mounted the low curbS Of the
sidewalks. Are not these demonstra
lions sufficient to convince the most
skeptical that high curbs would pre-
vent automobiles from reaching the
railing and strong ratings would pre-
vent fatal dives if the car should get
over the curb? Certainly these safe
guards could be taken with mini
mum expense.
These safety measures should be in
stalled AT once on ali bridges in the
District. but in the case Of the Calvert
Street Bridge there should not be the
least waste OF time in replacing the
entire structure. 1t Is obsolete and
dangerous. Ii is totally Inadequate to
carry the traffic of today. and it is
merely tempting fate to allow it's con
tinued use. Bridges on which the
speed of automobiles il cut down to
eight miles an hour for the sake Of
safety and on which street cars must
proceed at the speed Of snail to
avoid collapse have no place in this
era OF ira nsporta ton.
In spite of correction of these phys.
ical aspects OF the bridge situation in
Washington. there will still be acct
dents caused by fast-driving motor
lists. by motorists who attempt to ma ss
other cars in the narrow roadway. and
by reckleSsness and carelessness So
that along with general eradication of
evils Of all types there must be strict
enforcement of bridge traffic resula
tons and hearty degree OF co.opera
| ton by the entire motoring public.

1t has long been accepted that only
a wealthy man could afford to take an
ambs ssa dorship or even minister
ship. The social and Official obliga

uniformly greater than the stipends

generous SAL aries and providing them
with expense funds in addition. The
United States has been the most par
simonious Of ell governments in this
respect.
IT does not necessarily follow that
the quality of the diplomatic service
has suffered from this limitation Of
choice to men Of large means. but
certainly some excellent material has
perforce been ignored in the occasional
congratulations Of the service. Even
the wealthy men who have accepted
these honorable designations have
found them burdensome. There have
been many cases of actual financial
distress caused by the obligations
which our foreign representa- ives
have been compelled to meet out OF
their own finds.
