King George, angry, has signed embargo all goods

It is suggested that the embargo which does not become

Steel or Masonry?
Calvert Bridge Plans.

The projected replacement of the Calvert Street Bridge
Rock Greek should not be rushed through precate
without careful weighing Of the arguments advanced
to the type of bridge to be built.
The need for the bridge urgent and is fortunate
that the Senate subcommittee appropriations to be
alert to the need.
There has developed however, controversy whether
masonry metal bridge should be
always of course that benefcent Congress decides
allow the District to spend its money for this muchneeded
Improvement
Several years ago George Oakley Toten prepared plans
for masonry bridge which approved by the Fine Arts
Commission.
Recently however the District Commissioners have ordered
the preparation of plans for steel arch abandoning the
ten plan
The steel arc it is commended could be constructed at
lower cost Another argument advanced its behalf is that
steel bridge would interfere with the view tn valley
from the Taft Bridge while masonry span would.
There is little question, however, that more beautiful
bridge would result if masonry used
Likewise in the long would probably longer and
be less expensive from the standpoint of masonry
It would be crime against the development of the city
if bridge to be erected at Calvert Street which would
destroy initiate against the beauties of Rock Greek valley
The two proposals should be studied and weighed by
petent and impartial authorities.

big-hearted I've lost far more
friends than I've ever gained.
My most bitter enemies are
those whom I've tried hardest
to help; and those who didn't
actually hate me for it, de-
spised me-said I was a fool.
"Nor has being big-hearted
made life easier for me. In
stead, it has made life much
harder. I've wasted money;
missed out on a lot Of fun,
and been put on the spot
many and many time.
"Yet, I still maintain, it pays
to be big-hearted!
"For this is the way I look at
it. Lies a queer mess, and I've
never been very successful in
handling it. I'm not very
shrewd. I'm not beautiful, nor
the life or the party nor very
young any more.
"And, to make things worse,
I've done some mighty mean
things and pulled some awful
boners. I've lied. I've hurt and
failed people loved. And I've
been downright lazy and
cussed.

You bet it isn't! Yet that's

I certainly would have liked
to make good in a big way.
It would have been grand to

even have liked to have been
a saint, though, I must admit,
most saints give me the jitters.
But still-it would have been
nice to look back on life and
think of the swell things I'd
done.
But I can't. It's too late
now. It's a cinch they'll have
to plant me minus medals.
