The opening of the New
Castle and Frenchtown rail-
road occurred March 1, 1882,
so long ago in fact that the
line Of rails connecting New
Castle with the little village
Of Frenchtown on the western
shore of the Chesapeake's
waters has almost faded from
memory, but is recorded in
history as one of the import
ant happenings of that period.
There was no marking Of the
anniversary although at the
opening the road was hailed
as one of the most progressive
steps in modern transporta-
ton. It was supposed to be
the link that would eventually
unite the Northern and
Southern sections Of the coun-
try, but we do not believe that
the expectations of its build
ers were fully realized It was
the outcome of the establish
ment of a line Of steamboats,
between Baltimore and Elk
ton and was aimed to take the
place Of the New Castle and
Frenchtown turnpike.
The legislatures of Della
ware and Maryland paved the
way for the undertaking and
the railroad almost parallelled
the turnpike, and being com
pleted in 1882 it was one of .
the pioneer lines Of the coun- I
try, but by no means the first
1t was antedated by
two OF three others, first by a
line in the Pennsylvania coal
fields, which is still in use, or
was until recently. There also
were small sections of the two
larger systems of this country
that had been set in operation
4 trife earlier.
The crude construction of
the road has already been fire.
Iuently described, and it is
to record here that
rails were laid on and fasten-
ID to stone sleepers. On top
# the latter were laid wooden
,ails and on these were spik-
ID bars Of flat iron. The orig
nal rolling stock consisted Of |
,ars carrying about a dozen ,
passengers each, originally /:
lrawn by horses across the
-6 IL miles in 95 minutes.
Soon afterward came the
steam locomotive from Eng
and and palace cars that
we're supposed to represent '
he last word in luxury and

Castle to Baltimore consumed
five or six hours and COST

The whole destiny Of the

Inc WnOle QeSClny OF Cne
American people turned upon
the fortuitous circumstance
that in a period of crisis
Washington was available to
take command. In this fact
lies reason for unfailing graft
tude as long as the nation sur
wives. 1t is significant that
in recent years the world has
become increasingly interest
ed in the study of Washing
ton, in the task of determin-
ing just what manner Of man
it was who dealt effectively
with every emergency that
his times presented and
wrought a great state from
chaos.
The effort has been illumi-
mating. It has revealed a
great, unselfish human being
whose natural inclinations
were toward the life Of a Vir-
ginia gentleman, with his
goodly acres, his crops, his
horses and hounds, the con
vivialities of the times and
the friendship of those about
him. Instead, at the insist
ence of others, he became a
soldier, not brilliant, but COM
petent, who was never beaten
on the field or in spirit, even
though adversely crowded
hard upon him and conspiracy
and disloyalty, indifference
and lack Of support, hunger
in his path.
Then, at the pleadings of
others, he became a states
man, troubled by the usual
jealousies and intrigues and
unjust criticism that beset
those in high places, regard
less Of their honesty and abil-
ity and the unselfshness with
which they labor and the pur-
ity Of their motives.
To-day, after more than a
century and a half of history,
this nation can offer no more
inspiring example of wisdom
in the administration Of gov
ernment and courage in the
face of disheartening crises
than that offered by Washing
ton in war and in peace. Other
nations have their heroes,
men who served them well
when the national existence
hung in jeopardy, but none
has given to its people and to
the world a character so free
from taint, so sublime in all
its aspects, star so lustrous
in the armament of great
names. The greatest monu-
ment to his memory is the ma
tion which he founded. No
more appropriate tri b u t e
could be offered today, two
hundred years after his birth,
than for that nation to mani
fest in this present crisis,
more of the faith and courage
which he displayed when
every circumstance contrived
to bring about his defeat

and the science of enduring construc-
tion. Otherwise they could not have
done what they did nor would their
performance have been competent to
challenge the centuries. But since the
Pharaohs what progress there has
been! The cathedral builders Of the
middle ages carried architectural plan
ming to new heights. They perforce
employed the old materials, but they
developed new technical control of
them. Building became in the thir-
teenth and fourteenth centuries ver-
liable popular madness. Noble churches,
palaces, civic halls, schools and mon
asteries leapt against the sky. Each
was the vision and the responsibility Of
a master dreamer. Their names are
lost, but the geniuses of medieval
architecture are not forgotten. They
receive the grateful homage of all the
builders Of today.
With the invention of steel new
era opened. In many ways it was
more complicated material than stone,
but through the first decade of the
present century its nature ives studied
with vast care and intelligence, and by
the time Cass Gilbert undertook the
Woolworth Building in New York it was
thoroughly understood and appreciated.
The new ediflces in the Triangle devel-
opment in Washington will be reflections
of all the art and all the science of
the past as well as of all the building
knowledge of the present. Steel will be
their armatures. In months to come
the public may see them rise, piece by
pieca- >iail by detail And watching
their progress they may behold the con-
quest CT circumstance by the instructed
mind of their creators They may find
in them examples of what cooperation
may do. Great men and humble have
dreamed them and will build them.
That will be part of their glory and
their beauty

Another Bus Terminal.

1t is assumed that the Public Utili-
ties Commission convinced itself that
the advantages to the public of the off,
street bus terminal on the north side of
New York avenue between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets outweighed the
obvious traffic difficulties threatened by
adding to vehicular congestion in this
block. With four street car tracks and
the loading platforms materially reduc-
ing the street area left for automobile
traffic, it would be difficult to name any
other block in downtown Washington
that, from traffic standpoint, is worse
The bus company's plans for a drive
way into the terminal, preventing left
hand turns, and the commissions
limitations upon the number of busses
that may use the terminal at any one
time may, however, prevent the COM
plications apparently threatened.
In the meantime, it is encouraging
to note the progress, even if it has been
slow, made by the Public Utilities Com
mission in its efforts to bring some
order out of the once chaotic situation
regarding bus terminals. The New
York avenue terminal and the Annap-
oils Hotel terminal will take care Of the
majority of the Glass A" busses-those
doing an interstate business between
distant points-and get them off the
street. Only one Glass A bus line now
will operate a curbstone terminal. on
lower Pennsylvania avenue.
There remain the Glass B" busses to
the suburbs and nearby communities
which still utilize the curbstone space
of crowded streets, not only for load
ing and unloading, but for parking be-
tween trips. These the commission has
SC far let alone, except for the prescrip-
ton of routes through town. The logical
next step for the commission to con-
slider is the exercise Of pressure toward
establishment of ff-street terminals for
these suburban lines. There is no rea-
son why such terminals should not be
required.

Canny Connie Mack.

Yesterday was an interesting date In
base ball history. 1t was the beginning
of the world championship series OF
1882 between the New York and Chi
cago clubs of their respective leagues
and it was the beginning of the
breakup of the former world cham
pion Philadelphia Athletics. The New
York Yankees won the first game by a
wide margin, won it in fashion to
strengthen the belief that they will
take the series and the supreme title Of
the sport. In Philadelphia Manager
Cornelius McGillicuddy, alias Connie
Mack, started his scrapping process,
which has been predicted throughout
the season, by selling to the Chicago
American League team releases of three
of his most useful players. This disrupts
the team that won three league cham
pionships in a row in 1929, 1880 and
1881 and two world championships. 1t
has been known for some time that he
was disappointed in the performance Of
his team last year when it failed to
establish an all-time record of three
consecutive world pennants. Further
more, rumor says, the astute Mr..
McGillicuddy has felt that some of his
players we're getting too much money.
He has an economical tendency which

Dreamed Before Built.

The laying of the corner stone OF the
new Post Office Department Building
Monday was the obvious beginning of
that great construction enterprise. 1t
was a festival of Inauguration which
the people could see and understand.
But back of it were long months Of un-
seen and perhaps unappreciated labor
predicated on equally long months OF
thought and organization.
Such a structure must be dreamed
before 1t can be attempted. 1t must be
visioned to a particular location and in
a particular form 1t must be adjusted
to particular purpose, and all its
poetry and beauty must be related to
its pragmatic utility. One architect
may sketch the general design, but
many architects must collaborate to
perfect the plans. Each detail must
be. formulated on paper, made perfect
In its position with regard to every other
detail. Each must be considered as a
fractional value in the great sum total
of the entire scheme. Each must be
theoretically measured and weighed. A
balance must be accomplished and
maintained. Nothing useless or merely
ornamental can be allowed to intrude.
Every smallest element must be mathe-
matically accurate, true and purposeful.
The engineer and the practical builder
must cooperate. Time is needed. Be
fore any actual beginning can be made
something anticipated whole
must be finished.
Time was when construction could bt
an experimental business. The builder
in that dim and distant Gay could bt
his own architect, his own engineer
II his walls collapsed, he could re-erect
them. That was wasteful policy, but
there was no other. Gradually, how
ever, science of projection a technique
Of anticipation, was developed. Mer
learned how to see ahead, how to plar
inteligently Before the pyramids d
Egypt were piled upon the desert sand!
the architect and the engineer hae
mastered principles and circumstance!
Of imperative significance to the ar,
