Western Maryland, the matter still
rests in the hands Of the chief engi-
neer.
Thousands and thousands of West
em Marylanders and travellers know
the old bridge, but few of them are
familiar with the state Of ruin into
which it has fallen.
Travellers have marveled at the
beauty of the bridge since it was first
put into use in 1913. The grace of its
great arch is all the more remarkable
because its builders were thinking
primarily of utility.
Carried Wagons To Far West
They wanted a structure that could
span the flooded stream, yet carry the
heavy freight wagons that linked the
East with the new West in the days
when the National Road was the only
great artery of commerce across the
mountain barrier.
The eighty-foot span they built was
the largest in America at that time,
and the story is told that the night be-
fore the celebration arranged for the
formal opening, David Shriver, Jr..
superintendent of the road, became SO
worried that he had the contractor re
move the framework to see if the
bridge would really stand.
Stand it did, and in 1888, when the
old turnpike had long since become
United States Highway 40, heavy
motor trucks were rolling across the

Old Bridge Abandoned
In 1888, a modern bridge of steel
and concrete was built about one hun
dred yards upstream, and the old
bridge was abandoned, although many
motorists still go racing over it for
the thrill they get when they bounce
over the hump in the middle.
Tourists streaming by on the new
highway get wonderful view of the
old bridge, and signs erected by the
State Roads Commission tell its story.
The very fact that it has been aban-
doned enhances its value as a monu-
ment and tourist attraction, because
it makes a striking picture from the
new highway, while one could drive
right over it in the old days without
Noticing much more than the hump in
the middle.
Now Is Weed-Grown
Today the bridge is weed-grown and
hung with trailing vines. Black hem
locks frame it on one side, and green
meadow on the other. Sunlight re-
nected from the stream dances on the
inside of the arch.
1t does not take much imagination
to see the great droves Of cattle, hogs
and sheep plodding across it on their
way to the Baltimore slaughter
houses. Or the wagons of the settlers

Spread Of War Brings
New Problems for
-.--
Steel Exporters
Industry Believed to
.Hove Reached Bottom
Of Long Decline
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 10.-Renewed
confidence that the steel industry
has reached the bottom of the long
decline was generated this week by
q moderate seasonal gain In do
mestic business and an increasing
volume Of export tonnage, Iron Age
said today in its weekly review.
A closer balance between incom-
ing orders and shipments has created
more optimism, the review said. In
some instances orders are equal to
so to go per cent OF capacity. ;
Export tonnage has increased
within the last week." the steel
magazine continued, following an
advance in prices which has stimu.
lated prompt acceptance Of OUT
standing lower quotations.
1.-THE involvment of Denmark and
Norway, and possibly, Sweden, in :
the European war zone has created r
unexpected and pressing problems
for American steel exporters, but
the long-range view is that Norway. ?
which has been receiving most Of
its steel imports from Germany, will
turn to the United States. =
"A similar development may occur D
in Sweden, which has been ex- +
changing iron ore for German steel
and other products.
Immediate effects of the new
European crisis on the American
steel situation are not yet clearly
discernible. but until they are better :
understood some mills are not pro.
cessing material for Scandinavian ,
countries.
Domestic steel business has not
been augmented by any particular )
development other than an apparent
seasonal improvement in a number
Of products, in which structural steel
Is an outstanding exception. :,
"Ingot production this week is :,
estimated at 81 per cent, loss Of.
half point from last week =.
"Bullishness has taken the place
OF uncertainty in scrap markets as /,
result Of the most acute war situ-.
alton, but this has not yet been res
hected in prices. A moderate de-;
cline at Chicago reducts the Iron
age scrap composite price cents
to $16.04." y
