daughters of the dean of Christ Church
College at oxford, and the story they
heard was one that later charmed the
world of childhood as "Alice'S Adven-
lures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll.
The original Alice, now Mrs, r. G.
Hargreaves, is coming to the United
States this year to attend the celebra-
ton of Carroll's centenary at Colun-
bia University in May. The centenary
actually falls on January 27, but Co
lumbia postponed its festival until May
so that Mrs. Hargreaves might be
spared an ocean crossing in Winter.

of the foremost collectors of the
country. The catalogue of the exhibit
ton will list nearly 400 items, includ-

KL|NCLE BRIDGE
NEAR COMPLETION
Finish Within Two Weeks Is
Announced by Capt. H. C..
Whitehurst.

The new Connecticut avenue bridge
over Klingle Valley will be completed
within the next two weeks, it was an
nounced yesterday by Capt. H. c.
Whitehurst, chief engineer and co-ordi-
nator of the District.
Actual construction of the bridge al
ready has been finished, Capt. White
hurst said, but the surfacing OF the
roadway is not yet complete.
Cost Placed at S460,000
Work on the new bridge was started
May 27. It is single arch structure
with stone-faced abutmentS. The cost
Is estimated at S460,0OO.
The Highway Department, Capt.
Whitehurst said, already has started 10
surface the car track area on the brldge,
and as soon as this work Is t1nSneo,
southbound traffic will use it until the
temporary west timber roadway Is
removed.
The surface ends of the west road
way will then be completed, ana South-
bound traffic will be shifted 10 the WeSV
roadway. The next step will be to re-
move the temporary east timber road
way, and while this is being done north
bound traffic will use the car track
area.
Heated Cement Walk.
In an effort to hasten the Surfacing
work, special heated cement is being
used When the bridge is completed
the roadway across it will have a width
of so feet, the same as Connecticut
avenue, and 25 fest wider than the
roadway on the old Klingle Bridge:
Construction of the bridge while
keeping the old structure open to
trafic, Capt. Whitehurst pointed out,
was difficult engineering feat, which
attracted the attention of bridge engi-
neers in all sections of the country. In
only few instances in the past, he
said have engineers attempted such a
project.
