Bridges, Old and New

With the opening of bids yesterday
kt the District Building for the con-
struction Of the new Calvert Street
Bridge over Rock Greek, that work, so
Bong awaited and so often postponed
because Of differences of opinion re-
garding design, is advanced close to
the point Of actual construction. Long
before the old structure was officially
declared dangerous it was regarded
with doubt, and even fear, by the pub
he. It is now used under restrictions
as to the weight Of vehicles and the
number Of street cars crossing over
h at the same time.
The operation Of replacing the old
bridge with the new structure will be
one Of difaculty, which, however, is
not insuperable. The street railway
Dervice must be maintained pending
the completion of the work, and this
accommodation will perhaps entail a
temporary construction at the side
such as that devised in the replace
ment Of the P Street Bridge over
Rock Greek with q new viaduct.
With the erection of this new
bridge and that across Rock Greek at

ment on lines Of sound construction
and suitable design tho bridges across
the Eastern Branch at Eleventh street
and at Pennsylvania avenue. the Chain
Bridge above Georgetown and pos
sibly the present Highway Bridge.
Studies for all of these, possibly ex-
cepting the last mentioned, are in
progress Both of the Eastern Branch
bridges are inadequate to accommo-
date the traffic using them, and are,
moreover, of an out-moded type.
There is likewise some question as to
their reliability.
The Chain Bridge will doubtless
soon be replaced as soon as the matter
of site is definitely decided, that de-
pending mainly upon the development
of a new highway that has been pro-
posed for a north-south communica-
ton outside Of the urban area. OF
the need Of new bridge at that point
there is no question. All authorities
agree that the present structure is
wholly lacking in adequate traffic &C.
commodation and also in stability.
While no steps have been taken
toward the replacement Of the present
Highway Bridge with another Of q
design consistent with its surround
ings and of larger capacity, it Is rec
ognized that eventually this change
must be effected, perhaps accompanied
by the removal Of the railroad bridge
to a position below the city or by a
tunnel beneath the river.
Meanwhile, 1t is gratifying to find
the Calvert Street Bridge replacement
advancing to the point Of construc-
ton, and doubtless ere long nomina-
tions for an appropriate title for it, in
substitution for the place name II
now bears, will be in order. Indeed
such a designation suggests itself, the
name of a former President who loved
and frequented Rock Greek Park dur
ing his several services in Washing
ton-Theodore Roosevelt.

Philanthropy's Finish.
A man once studied everything
Affecting legislation.
A lofty song he tried to sing
To elevate the nation,
But some one said he was to blame
For things that were misstated,
And then the awful finish came
He got investigated.
A man once labored very hard,
And saved up all his money.
He never drank or touched a card
Or laughed at shows called funny
At last he was a millionaire,
'Mongst money princes rated,
And what rewarded all his care?
He got investigated
Twas ever thus. the whole worlt
through!
Fate leads man curious dances.
No matter what you say or do
You're always taking chances.
He said, in penitent dismay,
with coin I'm overweighted!"
He tried to give his wealth away,

UNITY in DIVERSITY
BY THE RIGHT FREEMAN D. d. IL. D. D. c. L.
Bishop of Washington

nately, we have abundant evidence Of
this in our present world. It Is diff
cult to make all men see eye to eye
with reference to q course of pro-
cedure. 1t may be unfortunate that
this is so, but so it Is, and we do not
contribute to the high ends we seek
to serve through our organized effort
when we look askance at those who
follow not with us. It has been our
observation through long years Of
deep interest in various forms Of phil
anthropic and Christian endeavor
that generous and charitable course
in dealing with those who are not Of
our persuasion is not only profitable
to ourselves, but 1t effects q spirit of
comradeship that frequently issues In
the strong ties of unity. 1t Is difficult
to coerce those, whose methods are
not our own, into our prescribed ways
and practices. We have known many
instances of the conversion Of those
who were not Of our kind, resulting
from a wise and kindly cooperation
extended in the spirit of Him who
would not forbid the ministry Of one
who was not Of his chosen followers.
No form of unity Is set forward by
stern and forbidding criticism. We
do not help our own cause by criti-
cizing. and condemning the ways Of
others. An intolerant attitude is rep
rehensible and inevitably issues in the
defeat of high ends and purposes.
Generous consideration for difference
in temperament, background and
training is not only the sign Of good
breeding, 1t is the certain evidence of
fidelity to Him whose love for man
kind was all-comprehending and in
elusive. He wooed and won men to
His standard by the excess of His
kindness He saw beneath the act the
motive. and where the act did not
commend itself. He appraised the mo-
tive at its true worth. He prayed for
the unity of his followers. His ideal
was for a better world to which eacn
individual might make their conrri-
button, great or small as 1t might DC.
We retard the progress Of his penen-
cent work for mankind where we over
emphasize our party PASSWORDS ana
shibboleths. We set forward Jne COM
mon good where we recognize with
kindly consideration the purposes and
aims and service Of those VINO follow
not with us.

At the height of the ministry of
Jesus, one of His disciples, John, came
to Him, saying: Master, we saw one
casting out devils in Thy name; and
we forbade him, because he followeth
not with u.s." Jesus said: FORBID
him not; for he that Is not against us
Is for U.s."
It must have been with a sense of
loyalty to his Master and the unique
ness of His work that this overzealous
disciple came with his complaint con-
corning one who was exercising a
ministry of healing, but apart from
fellowship with Christ. His vision was
restricted to the little company Of the
faithful who followed his Lord. No
ministry was valid that did not bear
the imprimatur of the miracle work.
ing Christ.
How frequently in the course of
Christian history has this incident
been repeated. How again and again
has the validity as well as the effect
iveness of a finely Christian service
been challenged by those who es-
teemed themselves the exclusive chan
nels Of divine grace. Obviously, there
must be order and organization In any
cause; there must be agents who con-
stitute the channels of a continuing
ministry. No one disputes this. On
the other hand there are ministries
Of one kind and another whose con-
secration and devotion and efficiency
are unchallenged. There are those In
our corporate life who do not seem to
fit into the precise order and ways OF
established and finely conceived or
ganization. Again, there are those
who are SO utterly individual that
they cannot readily adjust themselves
to the precision and practice of a we'll
conceived body. They may carry rug
ged individualism too far at times, but
to deny them their place as high
minded. intelligent and devoted serv-
ants Of the Christian cause is both
ungenerous and unwarranted.
Many good work in this world has
been hindered and set back by the
earnest advocates Of organization. We
surely do not disparage the cause to
which We are peculiarly committed
when we generously recognize the vir-
tue and the selfless service of those
who are not Of our cult. There is q
kind OF exclusiveness that issues In
bigotry and intolerance. Unfortu-

Our Changing Climate
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

After stoutly maintaining for many
years that the idea, SO widely held
by laymen, that the American climate
is changing was q myth, the United
States Weather Bureau has altered its
position. ]. B. Kincer Of the bureau.
after making an intensive study OF
temperature records, now comes for
ward with proof that the repeated
assertions Of old Inhabitants that the
Winters used to be longer and colder
with more snowfall are true. Our
climate is changing.
Meteorologists who are wont to look
upon the aspects Of the weather in q
detached, impersonal manner have
been interviewed many times on the
subject Of changing climate. The Of
ficial, scientific opinion expressed has
always been that older people like to
tell tales Of their greater hardships
It was said that 1t is favorite trick
OF graybeards to belittle the rising
generation and point to the Spartan
lives Of the fathers.
Yet there are 50 many individuals
Of sound mind whose memories are
clear about how rivers used to be SO
solidly frozen over that horse races
were conducted on them and how the
snow would remain on the ground
from before Thanksgiving until the
time Of arbutus and the bursting OF
the buds. that the scientific men be-
gan, in some quarters, to lose esteem
Fifty million Americans, even II they
were getting along in years, could not
be wrong.
So Mr.. Kincer very patiently and
painstakingly compiled hundreds
upon hundreds Of temperature read
ings for strategic points. and now
comes forward with statistical evi-
oence In support Of the older inhabi-
tAnts.
For example, Q special study wa,
made Of the weather at Washington
where the Weather Bureau has excel.
lent facilities and full records. u
| was found that Of the 21 Winters
1928 to 1928, inclusive, 18 have
been warmer than normal, norma
representing an average Of the wealth
er for about century. Moreover
13 Of these 2l Winters have beer
notably mild while one, that Of 1881.
81, was the mildest In more than ,
century.
Figures Prove Contention.
That would seem to take care o.
the claims Of the graybeards as K
what the weather has been Of recent
years. Now for their memories o.
what 1t was OF 10 Winters, 1876,
to 1928. inclusive, IA were coldel
than normal, while the Winter oi
| 1856 was the bitterest In more
| than q century.
But one city does not represent ,
Winters climate any more than ont
swallow makes q Summer. So Mr.
Kincer has taken the weather Of New
Haven, Conn. American weather study
began in Connecticut, the pioneer
meteorologists hailing from that State
50 the records available there are ex
cellent. The study reveals that ever!
one Of the last 10 Winters has beer
mllder than normal, 1s of the las

to the midcontinent climate. 1t i
found that st. Louis records Civ,
above-normal temperatures for 13 o
the last IS Winters. Moreover, rec
ords picked up at random points il
the Rocky Mountains show the sam
story.
Mr.. Kincer is careful to state tina
the general statements Of meteorolo
gists that weather does not chang,
may not be entirely rejected. Thes'
