The avenue across Columbia Island will then be constructed, and the twin bridges over the boundary channel, linking the project in with the Lee highway The parkway from the bridge to the cemetery and driveways in the ceme- tery will be about half completed that year bridge arches have been fi span installed, the plaza b the year when Ornamentation of Bridge. In the fifth year the program calls for ornamentation of the main bridge » twin bridge over the boundary channel. AN work started the year before will be finished, thus providing ss across the bridge into the emetery over a completed avenue within five years During the rtollowing five vears e other -great feature of the project—widening and developing of B street north from the Lincoln Me- morial to the Capitol and of Twenty- rd street from the Lincoln Me- ial to Washington Circle will be carried out It must be appreciated that the entire project authorized by Congress recognizes the importance of the final feature of a parkway extending from the Capitol siczight west to the Potomac River and that of a plaza whence radiate the bridge and im- portant T roads, including access the Lincoln Memorial and the river The bridge and the shore road are symmetrically ar- Yanged with respect to the continu- ation of the axis of the Mall, both the road and the bridge being pro- vided with entrance plans. Great Flight of Steps. A monumental flight of steps be- tween the bridge and the road will lead to the river, the whole com- position thus forming a water ga xiving access through the Mall with its important monuments to the Capi- tol. The steps leading down to the river bank form landing places for small boats, with piers at either end of the steps affording landing places for larger boats. The parking on B street north will be extended to the river bank, and B street south will be straightened 50 as to be parallel to the axsi of the Mall, terminating with a round point at its intersection with the Twenty- third street extended to the South- ward of the Lincoln Memorial. This round point is the site of the Iiriccson memorial, for which funds are in hand and on which work has already been started The Memorial Bridge itself will b of granite facing and 120,000 cubi feet at least will be used Bridge Low as Possible. In order not to interfere with the view of the Lincoln Memorial as seen from Columbia Island, the bridge has been kept as low as possible consistent with sound engineering and economy. It has nine segmental arches, the cen- ter span being 184 feet long, and the length of the span decreasing grad- ally each way todard the shore, SO that the end spans are 166 feet. The bridge is to be 2,138 feet long be- tween the terminal pylons. The way is 60 feet and each of the sidewalks 15 feet wide, makin tal width of 90 feet. The architecture been kept a simple and severe possible, the structure mainly depending for its beauty upon the perfection of its gen- ral proportions and its adornment with nificant Scripture pieces of the highest quality of design. e c two a to- Location of Pyions. The Washington entrance to the bridge will be marked with two py- s, located about 500 feet from the Lincoln Memorjal. Simglar pylons are placed at the entrance to the shore road and are repeated at the Virginia entrance to the bridge. They 40 feet high and are adorned on sides with sculptured groups and appropriate inscriptions, and _sur mounted by eagles symbolic of the United States of America. The sym- bols also are the only sculptured or- naments on the sides of the bridge, where they are shown in large discs n both ends of each of the river piers. The sculpture on the sides of ihe four pylons represents in different ways the recognition of the common bonds and aspirations of the’ Nation and the final triumph of the idea of a permanent and complete Union Progress of Nation, The pairs of figures on either end of the piers of the bridge represent symbolically the outcome of that har- monious Union, the result of the ener- gies of the nti country in the arts of peace—that is, those Inven- tions and accomplishments in science and art particuiarly comnected with the history of this country. Thus will be symbolized the agricultural, engineering, religious and education- al progress. Thus is visualized the entirg conception of the design of the bridge, differentiating this memorial from all others and making the rea- son for its existence intelligible at a slance. Columbia Island Work. The Columbia Island development Jinking up with the Lee highway and giving a fitting Washington entrance to this transcontin boulevard is expected to attract attention gf city architects from all parts of the world. Even before the reclamation of Cc Jumbia Island by the dredging opera- tions of the Corps of Enginecrs had advanced materially it was alway considered as a suitable site for normal park treatment. It is a fit- ting terminal for the Memorial Bridge, as well as an important land- scape beautification feature in itself. Being so intimately related to the pridge, it was thought proper by the Arlington Memorial Bridge Commis- sion, by the President and then by Congress that the plans for the ulti- mate development of Columbia Island as a park should be included as part of the project for the memorial Lridge. Accordingly, the lines of the shore of the isiand have been some- what rectified to permit a cross axis almost perpendicular to the main axis of the bridge and extending the full length of the island. The intersec- tion of these two axes has suggested of New | higher than at | road- | Unsightly Places Done With. |a plaza with ftting architectural adornment in a measure supplemental |to the Lincoln Memorial across the river. For this purpose two stately columns are to be erected on the Vir- ginia side, framing, but not interfer- ing with the view of the Lincoln Me- morial from the direction of the Lee mansion. These columps symbolize, the one the North and the other the South. They are surmounted by | statues of victory, the stylobates | whence they rise offering surfaces suitable for decorations, bas reliefs |and inscriptions. These columns are | to be 166 feet high, or practically the same height as the Colonne de Juillet in Parls. Place of Lee Highway. The axis of Columbia Island affords an opportunity to recognize the great Lee Highway undertaking and to make it an integral part of the whole | composition. This highway, which at | prasent passes over the Francis Scott Key Bridge into Washington by a eircuitous and highly congested route | will be given a splendld direct ap- proach over the brow of the imposing | Arlington Heights, exactly on the prolongation of the axis of the Mall. | From this point a superb view of the | bridge, the Lincoln Memorlal, the Washington Monument. and the Capitol will be enjoyed by the traveler entering the Natlon's Capital this route. From the Arlington | Heights the Highway would | descend toward Washington, keeping | on the axis of the Mall, passing over | the stream between the mainland and Columbia Island by a single-arch | bridge, and « the axis of the island, continuing its course to the water's edge of the main chamnel, where it is_planned construct a water gate facing and corresponding |to that at the Lincoln Memorial pre- Rome had its five approach: The Lee viously described. great avenues of Flaminia, Praenestina, Aurelia, Osti- ensis and Applan Ways. Washington | bas none worthy of the name, but in | this proposed terminus of the Lee Highway will be created the first and most magnificent of all, possible en- | trances to the National Capital | The Intersection of the axis of the Mall with the axis of Columbia Island affords an appropriate spot for & memorial in the shape of a circular or polygonal temple marking the north end of the important Lee Iigh- way. This treatment would be echoed at the lower end of the island | and at an equal distance below the plaza by a memorial or a rest | The narrow waterway separating | the island from the Virginia shore | will be peculiarly adapted for boating parties and is destined to grow in popularity as time goes on. A num ber of landing places have been pro- vided along this channel. Apart from the formal roads shown and a cer- tain number of footpaths, it is recom- mended that the nd be rather densely pianted in trees so as to cor- respond in appearance. as nearly as | possible, with Analostan Island. In connection tae acquisition of | Analostan Island by the United States | Government would not only prevent its pousible and even probable use for | purposee which would render it ob- | jectionable in its close proximity tof{ the dignified treatment herein de- scribed, but would also be highly desirable on account of its natural beauty and suitability for park pur- Doses. Entrance to Shrine. A magnificent memorial entrance to the Nation's shrine of the hero dead | in Arlington National Cemetery is an- | other outstanding feature of the Me- | morial Bridge development Continuing along the main avenue on the axis pf the bridge, and after crossing over the waterway separat- ing Columbia Island from the Vir- ginia shore on a small twin bridge harmonizing with the main structure, extends a formal parkway within an extensive park area with two road- ways and a “tapls vert” between, bounded by hedges and elms, and ris ing on a slight but uniform grade, | leads to the foot of the steep slope | | rising up to the Lee Mansion. This abrupt change of grade suggests the | placing of the chief memorial en- {trance to the Arlington National emetery at this point. Accordingly a plaza is shown on the drawings in part excavated into the side of the hill, whence radiate the roads to the mansion, to the Memorial’ Amphithe- ater and other parts of the cemetery. The west end of the plaza is in the »rm of a semi-circle, the diameter of which {s 226 feet and is in structure a retaining wall 30 feet high. The visi- | ble face of this retaining wall will be | decorated with niches, pilasters and | tablets bearing appropriate inscrip- | tions. Access is provided to the ter- | race surmounting the retaining wall, whence an all-embracing view of the parkway may be obtained—the col- umns of Columbia Island, the Me- | morial Bridge, the Potomac, the Lin- coln Memorial, 5,808 feet distant; the Washington Monument, and, far in the distance, the glistening white dome of the Capitol. Through the trees up to the westward a glimpse of the simple and dignified Arlington Mansion may also be obtained on the top of the heights. Beautification of Mall. The biggest undertaking toward beautification of the National Capital | as an integral part of the memorial bridge project is for the Mall develop- | ment from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial, which s to come after the | first five years' work on construction |of the bridge and approaches, ac- | cording to the present law, unless | Congress authorizes action sooner. | The law now authorizes an ap- propriation of $1,000,000 a year for five years for completion of all land- scape work, Including the improve- ment of B street, north, and Twenty- third street. | Extension of B Street. H The extension of B street eastward | to the Capitol grounds and the widen- {ing of this street throughout its en- | tire length and its paving with asphalt is a very important job and most closely related to the Arlington Memorial Bridge. This improvement is essential to allow the fullest use to be made of the route over the bridge to Arlington National Ceme- tery, as it will be the natural boule- vard of approach to the cemetery from the Capitcl. Not only would this be of much value in conjunction with this project, but it would be of great value in diverting a large por- tlon of trafic now congesting Penn- sylvania avenue in the vicinity of the Treasury Building westward beyond the White House to streets leading north and northwest. B street under this proposal would become through- out its entire extent a splendid boule- vard bordering the park system. Cleaning Up Eyesores. The cutting through of B street as authorized by the bridge act, is the greatest step ever taken in the develop- ment of the Mall. | "It provides for cutting this great | boulevard across Pennsylvania avenue and north of the Capttol grounds. This will clean up several unsightly areas both north and south of Pennsylvania avenue near the Capitol, wsich were bitterly and sarcastically criticized in speeches near the close of the Sixty- eighth Congress. As you proceed along B street east, toward the Capitol, you encounter one area near the St. James Hotel at Sixth street, which will be eliminated, and: another at Third street and Pennsyl- THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

While preliminary work on this project is now under Titanic memorial will stand on gro 1t will probably vania avenue. Both of these juttings will be cut away so that there will be an absolutely straight boulevard from the Capitol to Lincoln Memorial. The legislation also provides for wid- ening of B street to a width of 120 feet, and this will occupy at least two of the unslightly squares on Pennsyl- vania avenue. So B street will be a broad, straight boulevard for corteges with the Capitol at one end and fianked at the other end by the Titanic and Ericsson memorials. Purchase of Land. Representative Charles L. Under- hill of Massachusetts, a member of the House District committee, has already introduced a bill authorizing an appropriation of $15,000,000 for the purchase by the Government of all the land it requires for complete ownership of the Mall site, and this includes the unsightly squares on Pennsylvania avenue. The House District committee made a favorable report on this measure and the House committee on public buildings and grounds 18 also favorable. Representative Underhill has already declared that when Congress reassembles he will urge for prompt action on this legislation. Another integral part of the Mall development which gives an outlet from the Mall to the north is the widening of Twenty-third street from B street and the Lincoln Memorial north to Washington Circle. On all important memorial occa- sions occurring in Potomac Park or in the Arlington Cemetery, Twenty-third street would thus become the most im- portant north and south route for all of the northwest section of the city and would become the popular means of approach to the Lincoln Memorial and the Arlington Memorial Bridge. At the present time this important ap- proach to the Lincoln Memorial and the Arlington Memorial Bridge is too narrow to meet the reasonable de- mands of traffic. . MUNDELEIN SAILS HOME. American Cardinal Visits Famous Shrine at Cherbourg. CHERBOURG, France, March 14— Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago, be- tore embarking on the transatlantic liner Berengaria here today on his return to the United States, visited the famous basilica of the Church of the Holy Trinity, whose ancient history is linked with centuries-old strife between England and France.

With their interest aroused over the medical and dental units inciuded as an essential feature in modern | schools, Dr. Ballou, Mr. Harris and | Mr. Greenwood made it a speclal or- der of business to inspect clinics in the Philadelphia hools, and were surprised to discover that the school | planners in that city did not take them as seriously as the Baitimore school designers. The medical units and three rooms and are equipped with beds and such apparatus as is usu- ally found in hospital clinics. The | Philadelphia schools give but little space to these units, whose equip-| ment_consists principally of a first- aid chest and an eye chart. The lunchrooms in the Philadelphia schools likewise are smaller and less | elaborately equipped than those observ- | ed in the Baitimore schools. While Bal- timere has put marble-topped tables in | its Junch units, Philadelphia has econo- mized by using wooden benches with wooden stools attached which can be folded under the tables when not in use. Numerous distinctive features in| school planning were noted in the Phila- | delphia schools which were not found in | Baltimore. Among them were moving picture machines, hidden from view in the auditoriums by booths built flush in the wall; folding iron gates at various pqlnla in the corridors; marble-topoed window sills throughout; marble walls in the main corridors, and terrazzo fin- ished floors in the corridors. Visit “Model” School. Edwin C. Broome, superintendent| of the Philadelphia schoois, conducted | the Washington s:hool planners on| thelr tour of inspection which began | at the unique Logan Demonstration School. It is a model school, having | a corps of teachers picked for their, progressive ideas in education. Older teachers who become “rusty” in the service, it was pointed out by Mr.| Broome, are sent to this school, to learn the latest Ideas in educational training. The Logan School is a 32-rcom building, with a capacity for 1,600 pupils. It Is a six-grade school, pro- moting puplls to the junior high school. The committee devoted a considerable portion of Its time in this building, studying folding doors between classrooms, whereby three classes can be converted into one large class for special work. The committee, however, was not im- pressed with this feature. The Roosevelt Junior High School, a magnificent structure in German- town was next visited by the com- mittee. It has 94 rooms, 56 are used for class purposes with a pupil ca- pacity of 2,000. The auditorium in this building is {n the center, so that it can be cut off from the remainder of the structure when used for com- munity purposes, and heated and| lighted independently. The school has ample indoor and outdoor piay space. There are two gymnasiums, one for boys and the other for girls. Both are large, well lighted and equipped. Cost 42 Cents Per Cuble Foot. The John Story Jenks, an eighth- grade clementary school, was the final school inspected. It has 26 rooms, including separate gymnas- fums for boys and girls with adjoin- ing locker and shower facilities, a teachers’ dining room, a medical unit and library. While Philadelphia’s new schools are architecturally beautiful, well designed and contaln many features recognized as essential in modern education, they are costing about 42 cents a cubic foot. Mr, Harris esti- mated that the latest additions to ‘Washington's school accommodations cost between 31 and 35 cents per cubic foot. The inspiration Mr. Greenwood picked up in Baltimore over movable furniture, was discouraged somewhat by Supt. Broome, who pointed out that he had been unable to “sell” this feature to Philadelphia. Only a few rooms in the Quaker City schools have been equipped with fur- niture of the movable type. Mr. Greenwood likes the movable furni- ture idea and Indicated that he Wwould make an effort to have it in- troduced in the District schools, especially in the primary grades. All three members of the inspec- tion committee announced on their return last night that the results of the initial trip have very grati- fying and have furnished them with many new ideas in school construe- tion which would prove profitable in planning the new buildings provided in_the construction program. The committee, however, will con- { with “EMIR" LEAVES U.S. MAKING PROTEST Zerdecheno Faces Arrest in Liverpool in Deportation to Turkey. HERQ DISAPPEARS; BELIEVED SUICIDE G. W.
