The city paving crew has fin ished laying the approaches, and the bridge itself has set a suffi cient length of time to be ready for 4ise. The east half has been in use for a number of weeks. Construction of the bridge has been directed by Fengeson & Llndstrom, contractors. Fill Yet to be Made ' Strictly speaking the bridge will not be fully completed for anoth er full year, for a fill is yet to be made at the south end. For the fcX present, this section is reinforced with planking, leaving room for the present fill to settle and more earth to be placed there later. At the north end, the fill will not set tle more than can be remedied by adding more asphalt. .V1-, While the bridge will be in use sometime today, the contractors will be busy for some time, clear ing away the temporary, underpin- Mnntand format " Others Well Alone Two other units of the bridge program are well -along toward confUetion.

MARIAN MILLER APPROVES IDEA HOPES 'ALL THE OTHER 31ARI--AN MILLER'S MARRY likes Name to Herself; Recently Received Offer of Mat rimony The renowned Marian Miller, whose printed words thrill any number of persons every day, is herself not immune from thrills. This fact is testified to by the lady herself in a letter to The 'Statesman commenting on a news article published June S. The ar ticle told of a Marian Miller, aged 20, of Princeton, Minnesota, who on that day was married to Clyde R. Galley. 27, of McCloud, Colo rado. The two had come all the way to Salem to become husband and wife. The letter itself, reads as fol lows: "To the Editor: I was nattered and thrilled when I found that the Statesman, a paper' I admire, had given me some fine publicity on the occasion of the marriage of a sweet young; girl of 20. I think the date was June S. You made a clever little news story about the fair Marian Miller who became a bride la Salem. I was pleased to see that you had noticed my col umn (or part of a column.) "That was the third Marian Miller whose marriage I have no ticed recently and I'm hoping the Marian Millers, who wish to wed. will all succeed in capturing good husbands because I like to have the name to myself. I don't mind Uhe dear Marians marrying but when they charge new frocks -to me I object. Someone from Mon tana opened an account with a smart shop in Spokane last year and they sent me the bill. "The other day a young man aged 24, asked me to marry him (by letter) and he'd seen my pic ture. A woman came from way up by Bend to ask me to tell her for tune by her writing. She never thought of mailing a sample. "Again I thank you and I'U stop or I'll start telling you some of the blight say4ags-4nydwttgv-ters babies. ' With best regards, fraternally yours, Marian Miller.

The charges against the Cambridge woman which grew out of the publication of an al leged D. A. R. "blacklist" of rad ical speakers were aired before the board yesterday in an execu tive hearing. The testimony of Mrs. Bailie, however, eliminated the so-called "blacklist" from any connection the charges with the national of ficers. Before the national board of management acted upon the al legations, the executive committee investigated them and reported that they were "well founded." Mrs. Bailie also was alleged to have published a pamphlet in which she criticized the officials of the society as being under the influence of militarists. One! phase dealt with the appearance of Mrs. William Sherman Walker, cnairman or tne society s national: defense committee, before the house naval committee to endorse the warship construction legisla tion.
