In these cases large doses Of
wheat germ oil were used. AS a
general rule. however, the ordi-
nary. mixed diet contains this
vitarnin in ample amounts. Rich
sources are the oils from wheat,
corn and rice germ.
Vitamin X. one Of the latest

The average person needs not

Jonathan Cilley was of dis
tinguished New Hampshire family,
and was born in Nottingham, in
that State, July 2, 1902. He was
the son of Greenleaf Cilley, who
died in 1908, leaving wife, four
sons and three daughters. Being
desirous of a liberal education, JON
athan early entered Atkinson Acad-
emy, and became member OF the
freshman class of Bowdoin College,
Brunswick, Me, in 1921.
Like so many of our great men,
he had but limited capital to begin
life with, and seized the opportunity
to teach country school during
the winter months, both before and
after his entrance at college.
Popular Official.
Upon graduating from college,
Jonathan Cilley began the study of
law in the Office of John Ruggles
in Thomaston, Me. Ruggles was a
Democrat and a prominent member
of that party, and young Cilley
most naturally absorbed the polit-
ical ideas 70 his legal friend and
mentor. Upon the appointment of
Ruggles as judge of the Court of
Common Pleas, Cilley was elected
to succeed him in the State Legis-
lature and was reelected in 1888
During the session of 1886 he pre-
sided over the House, all parties
awarding him praise of being the
best presiding officer that branch
of the Legislature ever had.
1t was during this session that
he was nominated by a large por-
ton of the Democratic electors of
the Lincoln congressional district
as their candidate for Congress.

in Queen Anne. Joseph H. Knoerle
of the Greiner engineering staff
was most helpful in giving informa-
ton and providing pictures OF the
project.
Almost the first thing the engi-
neers had to do was to make borings
of the bay bottom at frequent in
tervals along the proposed route.
From the samples brought up by
the boring machines, and with the
consultant advice of DR.. Glennon
Gilboy, professor of soil mechanics
at NJ. l. t, strata chart was made,
so that engineers could figure the
design of piers that would hold in
each spot. Much figuring also had
to be done on building proper ap-
proaches to the bridge at either end,
and much of its cost is due to the
necessity of these.
The main span is to be located
at the Craighill Ship Channel used
by large, vessels 1t consists of a
cantilever unit supported on piers
1850 feet apart with vertical
clearance of It's feet, more than
ample for any ship now built or
likely to be built. The piers which
support the main span are to be car
ried on piles. Adjacent to the main
ones, 584 feet away, are the next
ones. They and all other interme-
diate piers are to be steel cylinders
filled with concrete, supported on
steel H-piles. There will be "a
foot roadway and two emergency
footways 18 inches wide. OF the
cantilever type, the structure will
be rigid and not subject to sway.
as was the bridge at Tacoma. 1t
will be carried on 40 large piers in
deep water and by a number of
smaller ones in shallow water near
the ends. At the very ends, 1t will
not really be bridge at all, but
will be a causeway with rock revet-
ment. There will be toll plaza
just off the bridge at Sandy Point.
Because of navigation require
ments of the War Department, the
bridge will start from just south of
Sandy Point in a southerly direction,
soon curving east and remaining
straight thereafter. The total length
from shore to shore is 26.372 feet. If
it were % feet longer it would be
exactly miles.

Gov. O'Conor's recently announced
plans will, if carried out, clear up
the problem of inadequate Maryland
roads in the Nations defense pro-
gram
Washington, which has been
classed as major crossroads" s."
would be joined by broad and sturdy
arterial highways TO Annapolis and
the Atlantic coast, to Baltimore and
the north and to Frederick and the
northwest.
1t still leaves, however, the prob
lem of the Virginia roads connect
ing with Washington If it is true
that a chain is no stronger than its
weakest link, then the Maryland
road program will be lessened in
effectiveness because OF two impor-
tant military roads, from Virginia
which are weak links
The first is Route l to Richmond.
This highway is not as congested
as the Baltimore road but road en-
gineers still do not believe it is suffi-
cient to meet active Army demands,
chiefly because it is too narrow
throughout most of ite length. Heavy
communications between Fort Bel
voir and Washington may have to
be reckoned with at a future date.
The second Is Route 211 to War
renton and New Market, Va, and
the West and Southwest 1t is high
ly conceivable, IN the event Wash
ington or the Maryland and Della
ware shores are threatened, that
armored units might have to be
rushed along this route from Fort
Knox, KY. That this road could
stand under heavy tarks and trucks
for long is most improbable.
1t is possible, of course, that the
United States will not be attacked
in our present lifetime, that it will
not have to 60 to war to fight else
where 1t is also possible that in
the event of war these two roads
will permit a certain minimum

Although he received formidable
opposition from his former friend,
Judge Ruggles, yet he was elected
and took his seat in Congress the
following year. 1t was indeed
fatal triumph, for less than three
months from his arrival in WASH
ington a career full of bright ex-
pectancy was brought to a sudden
close.
OF William J. Graves, with whom
the duel was fought, but little is
recorded. He was born in New
castle, KY, in 1905, being Cilley's
junior by three years. He took his
seat in the House as Representa-
tive from Kentucky on March 4,
1885, and ceased to serve in that
body March 3, 184l. Returning to
Kentucky, he again entered the
State Legislature in l843 and died
in Louisville. September 81, 1848.
1t always has peen, and probably
always will be, that popularity-no
matter how we'll deserved breeds
a certain amount of enmity, and
whoever it was who said, ''Envious
men grow mean at the success of
their neighbors," had a wonderfully
keen conception of fact. Cilley was
alert, smart, active, with head
full of brains and a tongue and vo-
cabulary and a style of delivery of
a high order and convincing force.
He was always gentleman, how
ever, and never transgressed the
rules of propriety. He took no
undue advantage of an opponent,
but stood square on his own two
feet and fought for what he deemed
right, as man to man,

Proposed Bay Bridge Will Be Five Miles Long

Toll is figured at 81 per auto
mobile and 20 cents per pas
senger, with higher rates for trucks.
At present the only really regular
quick" ferry, that from Annapolis
to Matapeake, charges 50 per
car and so cents per passenger,
takes about IS minutes to make the
crossing, runs only once an hour
as rule and usually only from 6
am. to pm. Consequently. with
the bridge in operation, motorists can
make the trip for half the cost
and in anywhere from a 10th to a
goth of the time, depending on their
luck at the ferry slips.
Before the bridge can be built,
the law requires that the ferry must
be purchased to compensate the
owners. The cost of the bridge, plus
this compensation, is S15,722,50O.
It is estimated that if the bridge
cost only s950O,000, it could be
entirely financed by a bond issue,
retired in % years or less oy virtue
of the tolls just mentioned. In
creasing the toll rate would bring
no more revenue, it is said; some
people who might use the bridge
at a lower rate would balk at the
higher one and either stay at home
or to 60 around the bay at Elkton.
A decrease Of the rate would bring
more passengers, but less total
revenue. 1t is thought that a dollar
per car and 20 cents per passenger
is the optimum charge, i.e, the
one that brings in the most money.
These figures mean that some
how the difference, S6,222, 500, must
be obtained as a Federal grant.
Maryland is a small State, already
with a debt of SAT 100000, and can
not take on any more. AS no more
P. w. A. funds are available, it ap-
pears that a direct appropriation
from Congress Is the only solution.
Congress, some may say, is too
busy now to consider the project,
important as it Is. But are the
members too busy? In addition to
the advantages of the bridge here
set forth, another compelling one
has arisen. Its source is in Berlin.
If the totalitarians are ever rash
enough to attack the United States,
that bridge would be a tremendous
asset in their repulSe.

Military experts say that the
logical landing spot for an invader
would be Delaware and the Eastern
Shore. 1t is unprotected by coast de-
fenses, and within easy range of
the industrial East all the way from
New York to Richmond. Once
established there, havoc could be
raised and even Washington de-
stroyed.
There are no cantonments or
military supplies in that area, al
though on the west side of the bay
are Camp Meade and other troop
centers. If there ever came a call
to rush troops over, it would be a
difficult matter, indeed, to arrange
their transport, as matters stand
now. OF course, camps might be
established on the Eastern Shore,
and depots built up. but that would
be expensive and there would still
be the problem of supply. With the
bridge, there would be no difficulty.
Mr.. Knoerle, in discussing this
phase. compared the bridge with a
tunnel. A tunnel would cost far
more to construct, require additional
annual expense for ventilation and
lighting and take much longer tc
build and also be vulnerable tC
attack in time of war. If either end
or the ventilation buildings were
smashed by aerial or depth bombs
the whole tube would be flooded and
rendered useless Indefinitely. The
bridge could be hit more often, but
it would be extremely hard to de-
stroy the entire structure. The sub
structure, being under waiter, would
be practically immune from aerial
bombing. In order to destroy one OF
the many spans an aerial bomb
would have to be so we'll placed as to
cause a direct hit on one of the
bridge chords, which are only few
feet in width.
The engineers estimate that it will
take maximum of two and one
half years to complete the bridge
What the people of Maryland would
like to know is how long it will take
to get started. No one can answer
that yet, but if the date is hastened
by the defense program Marylanders
will feel that some good at least has
come out Of the war in Europe.

At that sale it passed into the
possession of Gen. Alexander Hunt
er, who was marshal of the District
of Columbia at one time and other
wise a very prominent resident.
Gen. Hunter died in that house
in January, 1649, and by the terms
of his will it passed to his brother,
Capt. Bushrod Washington Hunter,
United States Navy, and it was his
home until 1853. when he moved to
Abingdon, his Virginia estate. When
the Civil War broke out, Capt.
Hunter went South and entered the
Confederate Navy, and to avoid con-
flscation of his property by the
Government his wife sold the prop
erty under the power of attorney
given her during the first year of the
war After 1853 1t was occupied by
John c. RiVes for about two years.
The house evidently obtained the
name Crosby from family Of
that name who conducted a board
ing house there from about 1884.
At the southeast corner Of Third
and E streets stands the building
purchased in 1884 by the Supreme
Council. 33d Degree, Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite Masons.
This property, which included
good sized residence, was purchased
by the Supreme Council from the
Rives estate and was probably built
by Col. Wright Rives, U. S. A., who
was born in Washington, fought in
the Civil War and was retired from
the Army in 1870
After purchasing the property, the
Supreme Council made an addition
to the edifice which included the
/ library, and on October %. 1884.
the building was conSecrated and
dedicated as the House Of the Tenn
pie, the exercises taking place in
the library. The addition was built
to correspond with the remainder
of the building. and at the time
was insured for s25,0o0.
Feature of Dedication.
A notable feature of the dedi-
cation exercises was the singing fur
nished by a choir led by E. S.
Holmes, the other members and
voices being: J. NJ. Buchanan AMI
j. S. Richardson, first tenors: Z. S.
Holmes and w. D. Mcfarland, sec
ond tenors; w. E. Abbott, Z. J.
Whipple, F. H, Barbarin and C. w.
Hancock, bassos, and S. J. Jecko,
pianist and accompanist.
The statue to Albert Pike, once
grand commander of the Supreme
Council. 33d degree. A. A. S. r,
Southern Jurisdiction, U. S. A,
stands at the intersection of In
diana avenue and Third street.
Old Trinity Episcopal Church,
which stood for many years at the
northeast corner Of Third and C
streets. was replaced a few years ago
by parking station. Its original
building, erected in 1928. was on
Fifth street between D and E streets.
The old Census Building Of 1890
still stands at the northwest corner
Of Third and G streets. 1t was
here the Superintendent of the
Census, Robert P. Porter, estab-
lished his bureau until the COM

1t is claimed by the NaZis that 10000
troops in motor lOrrieS can pass

an hour.
If the Maryland program gets
under way, then these two Virginia
roads will seem all the more a mini
mum as southbound traffic is at least
forced to alter its speed considerably
after it leaves Washington. In ad-
dition to the present burden on these
roadS-especially the Richmond road
on which many accidents occur
consider the punlSning loads of thou
sands of Army trucks day after day,
month after month perhaps year
after year, of countless tanks and

Road engineers believe that a
highway similar 10 thai proposed for
Baltimore should be constructed all
the way to Richmond that the New

widened with l0-foot shoulders
throughout its length and REIN
forced so that 1t can maintain a

road officials, more point in the
