POLITICAL ILLITERACY QUICKLY PUNISHED BY . SOVIET OFFICIALDOM

(By Associated Press) MOSCOW, Feb. 10. Political illiteracy is a worse crime than bigamy in Soviet Russia. Cupid's errors are painlessly, instantaneously and inexpensively cured by Bolshevist courts, but ignorance of Bolshevist laws is punished by sentence to courses in Communist schools organized to en

lighten those untaught in the ways of j

the Soviet Republic. Ivan Ivanovich Linsky was recently faced in a Moscow court by two wives and five children. - - ' - "I didn't know that it was necessary to get a divorce and thought my Hying apart from my wife whom I didn't love any longer was proof that I did not want her." was Linsky's defense, Linsky is Instructed One woman was granted a divorce, and Linsky was instructed to enter the school for the liquidation of political illiteracy at the government printing office, where he will be taught i hat wives may be disposed of only

by making declaration before a Sov

iet court that one does not want them and paying 10.000 rubles.

. It's much easier than the Reno treatment and Moscow should become a ' popular resort for mismated foreign

ers Rfter Soviet Russia gets the rec

ognition necessary to maka : Russian divorces waterprof abroad. There are no residence requirements and "differnce of political views" is the ground

tn which many divorces are granted

, Alimony has not yet come into

fashion in Russia. Under The old Com

munist ideal nobody had anything, theoretically, and everybody worked

and was supported by the state.' With the reversion to capitalists ways and (he recognition of the rights of personal property, divorce proceedings may soon ho tinged by Mammon.

The Georgetown Bridge By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 10. The bridge now under construction which i will cross the Potomac river, connecting Virginia with the city of Washington at Thirty-fourth street, was originally designed as a memorial to Francis Scott Key, author of the "Star Spangled Banner" and once a resident of old Georgetown. The general assembly of Maryland made Georgetown a town in 1751, 25 years before that province ceased to be loyal to' the

British crown. The old town, now part of Washington, evidently was built on the ashes of the Indian village of Tohoge.

How surprised the old residents would have been , to have awakened

some fine morning, to find this glisten

ing white structure in place of their little river ferry. Their only bridge was at Little Falls, three miles above the present bridge site, and was made

of timbers swung on chains. In the charter of Georgetown corporation it was written that the city should "keep the chain bridge and the road leading to the bridge free and in repair forever." The Georgetown ferry at one time was in dispute, for Virginia claimed the river as hers. The ferryman was persuaded to row the sheriff to the Virginia shore. He was arrested when he stepped onto Virginia soil to collect his fee and iaken for trial to Fairfax Courthouse. Many years ago, in the shadow of this new structure, there came and went the ships of the Dutch East Indies bringing silks and jewels and returning down to the sea with their cargoes of tobacco. There also docked the Shenandoah, which went regularly

aboundth with all manner of fish. The Indians in. one night will catch 30

sturgeons- in a place of the river not above 12 fathoms broad. And as for deer, buffaloes, bears, turkeys, the woods do swarm with them and the soil is exceedingly fertile." -The spot where the sturgeon were caught has since been identified as the stone house and mill built about the end.of. the. eighteenth century by Amos Cloud; the mill is now known as Eads Mill. George . Washington was said to be exceedingly fond of fish, and fishing, was one of his pastimes. In a letter he said he "went a-dragging for sturgeon frequently." Had one stood where the north abutment of the new bridge now towers in those early days he would have looked over the old "business section;" on "Brown's Bakehouse" on Water street,

who were killed, one in a duel.

One bright morning, the Fourth of July In 1828, to the accompaniment of the Marine Band, a little party of people set out from the Union hotel on Bridge street and proceeded to the spot where John Quincy Adams, then president of the United States, turned the first spadeful of earth for the new waterway to the west, the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, which was completed in October, 1S50. A few days after the canal was opened the "Freeman

Rawdon" came down from Cumberland, where she had started with the "Elizabeth," "Southampton," "Delaware' and "Ohio," all bearing coal, and was the first to round the bend a half mile above the spot where the new bridge stands. As the boat passed tin old Columbian foundry at the bend, r salute was fired. Near the end of the canal a bridge was built long ago over Rock creek, but one stormy night,

while bearing the weight of a stage.

Fayatte street, "Dawson's Soap and jit gave way, and driver and horses Grease Factory" on Water street near i were drowned. This gave rise to the

Frederick, on the tobacco warehouses,

the "Inspection House and the wharves. It was a busy litle town and many -shops of miscellaneous character flourished and grew. An extract from an old letter writen by Major Andrew Ellicott to his wife Sally, when in the city to make a survey, reads: I bought for you in a little shop In Georgetown a pair of black mitts and a small smelling bottle." In olden days two fairs were held annually by the town. Each fair lasted three days. The first was set for the first Thursday in October and the second began on the second Thursday in April, and on these days all persons

were free from arrests save only for

tradition still talked of in Georgetown of "The Headless Man of K Street Bridge." There also is the story of "The Drummer Boy of Little Falls." who tried to cross the river at that point so that he might muster into the army in Virginia during the Revolutionary war. He was drowned, and there are those twho say they have heard the brave ' little roll of his drum when

night and morning meet. The new structure is of reinforced concrete, having seven graceful sipans. The work is being carried on under the supervision of the United States army

engineers. Jt was begun in 1917 and

ing the river? Would he have written his survey, as he did, that from "those heights the view was commendable"? Mrs. Southworth'a Home. It was from these same heights that Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth viewed the winding Potomac and watched tb 3 Virginia Palisades change from young and shivering green, through russet gold, to silver white, as the season passed. There, in Prospect cottage, which still stands, she watched the growth of Georgetown and Washington, writing her many vivid stories around their historic personalities and points of interest. During the early days in George

town it was necessary to take the ferry if one was of a mind to cross to

the neighboring state, or else ride to the chain bridge at Little Falls and there cross three miles above. Later, the Aqueduct bridge was built on the old foundation which was constructed to carry a canal across to .Virginia. Those times are passed now and the old residents of Georgetown are but memories; homes have gone to ruin and gardens straggled off to weeds; still as always the Potomac must le bridged, and now, in place of the old and patient ferry, the swing Chain bridge and the now condemned acqueduct, is being erected this stately white concrete structure. The grand and solemn procession which cany our hero dead to their last resting place at Arlington will pass over this new Georgetown bridge, the western gateway to the south.

He learned the Indian language and almost entirely forgot bis own. Later he was ransomed and taken to England. There he told many wonderful stories, and in writing of the upper Potomac said "it

It's nice to be surprised W by Mrs. Mary Preston Cooking Expert and Food Analyst A woman I know had an experience with Heekin's that I think is well worth repeating. She had read one or two of these advertisements I write. So one day when she was 'phoning her order to the grocer she asked him to send her a can of Heekin's Baking Powder. After she'd used it several times, she was as enthusiastic about it as I am. Everything she baked was very successful. But she decided that such an excellent baking powder must be high-priced." When she got her bill and saw that Heekin's cost much less than any other baking powder that even approaches it in quality, she was so surprised that she called up her grocer to see if he had made a mistake but he hadn't. For Heekin's is truly economical. And a better or purer baking powder cannot be made. It is full-strength down to the last spoonful. No foreign ingredients are added to give false impression of quality. Heekin's is the favorite with thousands of women. I know that any woman can get successful baking results with Heekin's. And The Heekin Company feels so sure of this, that they make this guarantee. If anything you bake using . Heekin's doesn't turn out to your entire satisfaction, the price of the full can of baking powder and the price of the ingredients in whatever you bake will be returned to you. Simply list the prices and send with your name and address to The Heekin Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. Buy a can today and use it you'll like Heekin's.
