ARLINGTON BRIDGE
OPENED TO PUBLIC

lowed by Dropping of
Ropes to Highway.

For the first time the Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge and the Mount Vernon
Memorial Highway were thrown open
officially to the public late yesterday
afternoon for a brief space. They
will be open today during daylight
hours.
This action came after President and
Mrs. Hoover and members of the
George Washington Bicentennial Com
mission and the Arlington Memorial
Bridge Commission had inspected the
two engineering projects that mark
the first major link in the George
Washington Memorial Parkway, that
will stretch southwark from Great Falls
to Mount Vernon on the Virginia side
and to Fort Washington in Maryland
With the eye of an experienced en-
gineer, the President surveyed the bridge
project over which he had been many
times before. and noted the spacious
boulevard that keeps company with
the Potomac River for many miles,
until it terminates at the old home
of George Washington. Two engineers
of note accompanied the Chief Execu-
tive and Mrs. Hoover-Lieut. Col. U. S.
Grant, Sd, executive officer of the Ar
lingtDn Memorial Bridge Commission,
and Thomas H. Macdonald. chief of
the Bureau of Public Roads of the
Department of Agriculture, under
whose jurisdiction the highway has
been built.
Presidential Party Route.
The presidential party, which con-
tanned number of women in addition
to Mrs. Hoover, left the White House at
3 o'clock in automobiles, preceded by a
motor cycle escort of United States Park
Police. Arriving at the bascule draw
span, which was drawn apart, the party
left the automobiles.
A battery OF cameramen took count
less photographs of the party and then,
to the tune of shrieking sirens that are
part Of the baScule draw span equip
ment, the two great leaves of the mid
bridge were lowered. President Hoover
and his party walked at a rapid rate
for the rest of the length of the bridge,
almost to Columbia Island, Col Grant
pointing out the points of interest.
The presidential party then took to
their automobiles again, after glancing
at the quartet of giant eagles that sit
atop the great pylons looking down
upon the future Great Circle that is
planned for Columbia Island. The file
Of automobiles then turned to the left
and moved on to the Mount Vernon

Automatic Mixer

One concrete mixer has an auto- matic control system operated by pho. t0-electric cells that can be depended on to measure out the different ingre. dients with unfailing precision and dis patch. These cells are built into dial scales in such way that the pointer of each scale swings between an associate cell and it's exciting lamp. Each ingre- dient is brought to the mixing plant by conveyors that feed into weight hop. pers. The charging goes on until the pointers pass through beams of light focused on the electric eyes. when sen- sitiye relays stop the flow. With the eyes on watch, concrete of uniform grade can be produced regardless of the number of patches made up.-Pop- ular Mechanics Magazine.

A close examination. re- vealed the parchment to be a deed of the period of James I. Here was a valuable old document that should have been preserved in a museum be- ing ruthlessly cut up to gratlfy the passing whim of fashion, and when 1t had served its purpose to be cast aside on dust heap, loss to history and the severing perhaps of valuable link with the past.
 Hundreds of priceless old documents are being cut up in this way. but thanks 10 that distinguished scholar and antiquarian, Mfr. William le Hardy, a public appeal has been made to end this needless sacrifice of historical documents for the sake of craze. He Is asking to be allowed to examine the archives of Old-established solicitors offices in London, where many of these old documents are to be found. in the hopes of discovering deeds that will throw some light on the history of some famous county families. One firm has already given Mir. William le Hardy permission to go through their archives, with the result that many important facts concerning the his- tories of ancient manors have been re- vealed.-London Mail.

But among them, with the exception or

But among them, with the exception or Edith, who was too young to reckon with, not one of the girls or boys had exhibited outstanding musical talent.
 Berthas idea, however, was founded on this rather casual musical equip ment of the family.
 Father must form family orchestra and they could practice evenings. Mother at the piano, the three boys at the violin, flute and viola respec- lively, Bertha and Mathllde at the harp and cello and little Edith, who was now eight and taking her first lessons, at the violin.
 We'll, somehow, the idea caught with Klinger like wildfire, and catching, did some tantalizing things to family life, curtalling the outside activities of the grown boys and girls to such an nings could no longer be called theif own.
 Bad as was the evening after eve ming practicing of the group, under the surveillance of Kllnger, it was offset by the fact that once more clenched by an interest, something of the old good humor, and normal geniality of the man revived.
 Life in the Klinger household was once more liyable, as the Ringers put 1t.
 And then there began to develop the aspect of 1t all that made the idea Of Bertha seem to blossom into something that was nothing short of genius.
 Time and time again, conducting this little group of his family or chestra, Klinger began to find himself amazed and delighted by the musical precocity of the mite of a girl playing the third violin.
 Within two months, trying to keep down within himself the rising hope and the rising excitement that here in this child was talent. he saw the thin little wisp of a girl supercedlng playing in his place.
 Six months later, by arrangement made by klinger, Edith was taken to the conservatory, there to play before the great Elcher. who pronounced her of outstanding and amazing vlrtuosity.
 That busted up the Klinger orches- ira, so to speak.

Speaking on the amendment to the Agricultural bill that would provide for the contin- uance of the Matanuska exper- iment station, Representative Buchanan said: Tt may be that is is in the interest of the country and the development of the railroad, and that, there- fore, there would be a smaller deficiency necessary for the operation of the railroad. Let Us see what Alaska gets under this bill. She gets $27,000 from the Hatch and Lever extension Acts; $27,705 under the rein deer appropriation; $16,900 for musk-ox investigation; for the enforcement of the Alaska game law there is $105,966; for the forest highways, $350,- 900; or a total without this Matanuska station of $525,- I'll.
