Strike Here.

DR.. Frederic Wolter opened the fifth
week of his hunger strike today with
a $40 a week job reading the Bible five
hours a day. Being an acknowledged
agnostic, he passes part of his time
marking passages which refer to un-

ought to mix in bit of the st. James
version with various Portuguese, Dutch,
Italian and Spanish volumes he pc
ruses. the scholar refuses to eat. The
money enables him, he says, to pay
his room rent in the Salvation Army
Hotel and buy newspapers to read the
news, including that about himself.
Furthermore he denies that $40 a
week is a salary, or Bible reading job.
1t is merely an agreement. bargain.
Seventh-Day AdventistS are interested
in vegetarianism. He is a vegetarian.
That, in part, explains it, DR.. Wolter

Meanwhile, he stoutly maintains what
he is looking for is not job, but a

lette. assistant executive officer of the
Bridge Commission, said today.
Uniformity Favored.
Frederick Law Olmsted, Brookline.
Mass landscape architect, member
OF the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, has been suggesting
that Constitution avenue be 72 feet in
width from Virginia avenue to Twenty
third street and "a feet from Twenty
third street to the Potomac River. The
Fine Arts Commission, however. be-
neVeS that as fitting approach to the
Arlington Memorial Bridge from the
Senate Office Building, Constitution
avenue should uniformly be 80 feet In
width.
The National Capital Park and Plan
nlng Commission, at its meeting next
month. will consider this matter fur
ther. Mr.. Olmsted will be given an op-
portunty to state his position again and
flnal determination of the street
width will likely be reached shortly
Along Constitution avenue will march
the great state funerals of the future
and the 80-foot width is being insisted
upon by the Fine Arts Commission, so
that the thoroughfare can adequately
accommodate large bodies of marchers.
Bridge Lighting Studied.
Col. Grant proposes to give further
study to the problem of lighting the
Arlington Memorial Bridge Pasteboard
models of the proposed stone columns
that will carry the lights, after the
illumination around st. Peters in Rome,
will be further modified, in keeping with
the suggestions of the Fine Arts Com
mission.
Another problem facing Col. Grant,
with reference to Arlington Memorial
Bridge, is the wording of proper in
scriptions that will be placed on the
large panels, on either side of the water
gate steps leading down from the bridge
plaza to the river. The bridge archi-
tects, McKim, Mead and White of New
York; the Arlington Memorial Bridge
Commission and the Fine Arts Com
mission will collaborate on appropriate
wording. Some suggestions have al
ready been put forward, but Col. Grant
is not making these public.
