The commission nsks that au archi tect bo .nnracd as head 9f the bridge commission. , A , , . , , After trlllnK what should be done to make the Delaware river bridge au ornament to tho cities as well as a useful lmprocement. the commission points to the, Scbujlltill liver bridges as horrible examples of what should not be doue, saying: "We have in Philadelphia over the Bcbiivlkill for the Pennsylvnlu Rail road and the Ttapid Transit Co. tau as sortment of bridges which, for pure cheapness, we believe cannot be equaled Surely there is) nothing any where more ugly or more unworthy of i pleasant stream in Ha passage through i metropolis Though we may look 'forward to their disappearance at the demand of a more discriminating public tHSte, we cannot but regard the rtort-sighted policy which created them." "Inasmuch as this structure is to ex tend bcyoud the bulkhead line nnd over waterway, and since state funds arc to be used m its construction, tnc coin mission feels thnt this matter will ulti mately fall, at least partially, within its 1'nns.cl'ction," says the urt commis- si"11, . .... "The question of where,' meaning locatiou, cau only bo answered after a complete study of the city plan has been made. The question of 'what' to build, meaning size and tho kind of Etructurc. can really only be nnswrcd after a determination of the kind 'of servic which the bridge will havo to perform. Wo believe that more of the success of the Delaware river bridge project depends on tho right answer tn these quwtions than on tho actual ttructura' problem, of the how, which Is to nir iniqd after all but a detail. "We take the liberty of calling your jttcnriou to tbeo aspects of the case. We atk you to consider seriously the t advisability of appointing as the head ! of the commission on design a man ho. by his training, is competent to ttudy the 'where' and 'what,' rather than one eminently fitted as regards the 'tow.' " SEES END OF RADICALISM I Will Die When People Awake, Sayo Social Psychologict I Bolshevistic sentiment in tho United ' States will dio a natural death when J the individual citizen takes an active , interest in national politics. This was the thought of Director I Herbert Melville, publicist and social I psychologist, expressed at a meeting in Clayton Hall under the auspices ot the Friendship Liberal League last night. "If the American citizen lnd made his patriotism of mere acquiescence n more intelligent, concrete and effective initiative, he would be better prepared to meet the present' national emer gency " he said.
