The World and All
LET'S PUT COLOR ON THE BRIDGES
By Charles p. Driseoll

Bridges are among the most beautiful structures
that human hands De built. The North American
continent is partis1iy rich in beautiful bridges that
have been built in@nodern times. Most Of these bridges
are made up largely Of steel.
believe that beauty Of steel bridges would be i'm
mensely enhanced by a judicious application Of bright
.colors.
Why should the soaring beauty Of Brooklyn bridge,
for instance. have to look out upon the world through
a grimy gray surface? I'd like to see some good color
list at work on Brooklyn bridge with about twenty
shades of some of the new lacquers that have done 30
much to make automobiles good to look upon.
Fantastic, the average mind will automatically
reply.
But this isn't a suggestion for an average mind.
It's intended for serious consideration by persons of
imagination.
The myriad steel cables have to be painted. Why
paint them battleship gray? Why paint anything bat
tleship gray, even battleships? The battleships always
have to be reprinted in fantastic ~stripings when the
war starts, anyhow. Why not color them up a hit dur
ing peace times?
But just now we're talking about bridges. | can
imagine that architects will point out that there Is 4
good deal Of stone used structurally in most steel
bridges. and that stone j. generally gray. For in
stance, the towers at both ends Of the Brooklyn bridge
are Of stone.
Assuming that these towers must remain stone
gray (Which / believe to be a violent presumption), We
need not permit the towers to dictate the color scheme
for the whole structure. The cables and steel members
could begin at the towers very soberly. . and gro '
brighter in color toward the center of the span. Gray
at the towers would be altogether compatible with a
riot Of colors over the middle of the river, if the gradu-
alton were artistically done.
/ know many beautiful bridges in which the stone
structure is a negligible part Of the whole. Any one
of these would be vastly improved by the use of bright
.colors.
The American people are just beginning to learn
how to use color effectively in everyday life. The in
teriors Of hotels. for instance. no longer are done in
brown and gold, as OF yore. Theaters have been
frightened up, and some of the old-fashioned GIN
crackery abandoned. Bright colors entertain the eve
more effectively than tons of gingerbread scroll-work.
Most bridges are stimulating to the imagination.
They might be made more stimulating by the appli-
cation of color.

WASHINGTON IN CAMPAIGN
FRENZY
BY CHARLES r. STEWART

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Wash-
ington is politically radioactive
enough this time to suit anybody.
In 1924 il was the deadest spot on
the map.
II was headquarters for only one
presidential prospect of any conse-
cinch that nobody took any interest
in it. Calvin Coolidge was absolute
~ certain to get the republican
nomination anyway, so, in advance,
that was finished business.
Al Smith never visited the capital
at all; Bill McAdoo and John W.
Davis very briefly and in~frequently.
All the scrapping was elsewhere.
Besides, there was only one good
scrap anywhere-Smith's and Nc
Adco's. That was a hlm-dinger, but
otherwise the whole campaign, pre-
and post-conyention, was monoto-
nous-a mere walkover.
Oh, what q difference this year.
Instead of only one candidate here,
the town swarms with EN-.
Secretary Hoover's making medi-
cine in the commerce department.
Jim Watson, Charlie Curtis and
Frank Willis are falling over each
other on the senate floor. Frank o.
Lowden isn't present in person. but
his political Siamese twin, Charley
Dawes. is looking out for his inter
ests-or somebody's. The Coolidge
die-hards are still trying to figure
two terms out Of two terms and a
fraction.
AL Smith-ites and anti-Al Smith
ties fight daily battles all over the
Capitol and adjoining senate and
house office buildings, and OF and
down the subway underneath EN-.
lin Reed bushwhacks indiscrimi-
rately. and AL Richie hovers on the
outskirts, only a short street car

ride away, at Annapolis.
Assorted "favorite sons" and mis-
c%ellaneous dark horses" cavort
around everywhere.
Both sides are split seven way for
Sunday.
As all the world knows, the re-
publicans are busted wide open on
the dustries-versus-agriculture is
sue; the democrats are rent in
twain on religion, and neither party
can even estimate how badly it's sub
divided on the wet-and-dry question.
What's more, the Coolidge-ite re-
publicans accus the democrats of
conspiring with the progressives to
cram Hoover-by making Coolidge
impossible-down the G.. o. P.,s
throat, on the theory that Coolidge
can't be beaten but maybe Hoover
car. They're afraid the plot will
succeed, too, and the idea of the
democrats debating q republican
nomination, to their own democratic
advantage, drives ZEN almost frantic.
The oil Investigations another
source Of anxiety.

There's no choking them off, Of
course. They'd raise the country
with their outcries before the "safe
and sane" old-line element could get
a good grip on their windpipes. But,
they're a pest at a time like this,
when the managers already have
more than enough to worry about,
without a constant threat of the un-
foreseen to upset all heir calcula-
tions.

INDIANA Miners
AID new UNIONS
Conference H cid In
Coal Centers

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. l.
Mother Ella Reeve Bloor writes that
a real progressive movement has
been launched among the miners in
Indiana. Mass meetings are held
right along. Mother Bloor and Free
man Thompson were among the
speakers.
The National Miners Arrange
ments Committee instructed each
district to hold organizational con-
ferences in every sub-district to
make final preparations for the cleo
ton of delegates and affiliation.
1t also instructed John Watt to
attend the Ohio conferences, Free
man Thompson the Indiana and
Kentucky conferences and Anthony
Minerich to go to the anthracite tri-
district conferences.
To knit together the Indiana
forces for the new union, confer
ences are being held in Clinton, Bick-
nell and Blandsford. Where locals
have fallen to pieces, they will be
reorganized and elect their dele
gates; where there is no organiza-
ton, the militants are on the job to
organize every mine, and elect dele
gates. Every coal digger wants to
have share in building the new
union. If he cannot come to the
National Miners Convention him
self, he wants to vote for repre-
sentative.
