MOUNT VERNON
BRIDGE WEAK

Weakening Of one of the
bridges along the Mount Vernon
Memorial Highway was revealed
today when the 1888 Agriculture
Department appropriation bill
was reported to the House.
During hearings on the bill
Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of
the Bureau of Public Roads, ex-
planned that his request for
$4,000 was to strengthen this
bridge.
Mr.. Macdonald pointed out
that the highway is located upon
Every bad ground" along the Poto-
mac River, and that this money
will probably have to be ex-
pended soon for strengthening
the foundations Of the bridge.

cause it is production that rivals
the best he has done heretofore

Based on the popular Johnny
Cave Stories" by James Edward
Grant in the Saturday Evening
Post, Great Guy is modern
melodrama of the most appealing
type. AS up-to-the-minute as to-

as down-to earth as the average
romance of young America. it def
initely exerts an appeal for all
types of theatre-goers.
