MASONS CONTRIBUTING NOTABLE ARCHITECTURE| Temple-Building Plans for This Year Will Include Several Notable Structures Washington, Jan, 8.—(Capital News Service)—The new year prom- ises to witness a continuation of the ‘nemnrl.fible development of interest in yhe construction of impressive new buildings dedicated to fraternal uses, and in_ this movement the Masonic fraternity is taking a leading part. Among the temples to b2 erected or well started on the way to completion by local organizations of Masons dur- ing 1921 are several which will take rank among the world’s outstanding srchitectural achievements. One now in the course of construction at De- troit will cost $4,000,000, another at Denver will represent the expendi- ture of a great sum of money, and one to cost $3,000,000 is being dis- cussed at Columbus. The Scottish Rite Council of Ad- ministration, Topeka, Kansas, has in- stituted a sale of bonds for the pur- pose of securing money with which to erect a $1,000,000 Masonic temple in that city. Bonds to the value of $250,000 will be disposed of at once. * 'This action by the council of admini- stration has centered attention upon the proposed new temple which will be one of the architectural delights - of the Kansas capital. The Central Masonic Hall associa- tion of East Liberty, Pa., has pur- chased holdings at Collins avenue and Station street, that city, at a cost of $40,000, and on the lots acquired will erect a new temple in the near future. Plans for the structure have not yet been completed. The site is 100x129 feet. A drive by members of the Masonic lodges and Order of the Eastern Star of the East Side, Philadelphia, to se- cure a minimum of $400,000 to be used as a Masonic temple building fund was so successful that the work- ers went over the top to the extent of $77,950. Definite building plans will now be made, and a temple in keep- ing with the prominence and impor- tance of the orders interested will re- sult in good time. Denver’s Notable Contribution The architect’s drawings of the new Scottish Rite cathedral, to be erected at E. sixteenth avenue and Grant street, Denyer, by the Rocky Mountain consistory No. 2, show a building with a frontage of 115 feet on E. Sixteenth avenue and a depth of 170 feet. The chief materials em- ployed in the structure will be con- crete 2nd steel, and Colorado granite or rarble has been suggested for the exterior. In order that the cathedral room, which is to be the chief feature of the building, may. be constructed without any pillar or column what-| ever, the plans call for steel trusses 116 feet long. The cathedral room will have a seati apacity of 2,600 and will con- tain a stage forty feet deep, with a proscenium opening of the same| width. In addition, there will bej lodge rooms, dining and lounge! rooms, and a complete gymnasium| in the basement. I As a result of the co-operation of the Masonic lodges of Chester. Pu., the Chester Masonic association was able recently to lay the cornerstone of what soon will be a substantial and | commodious new home for members of the order. The cornerstone cere- monies were notable as a result of the! attendance of many men of promi-| nence, Governor Sproul of Pennsyl- vania delivering the principal address. The building will be modern in ev- ery way. Columbus’ Ambitious Plans Members of the A. A. 0. N. M. 8., of Columbus, Ohio, are devoting themselves to plans for the construc- tion of a $3,000,000 mosque to re- place the present one, which, while valued at $1,000,000, and one of the largest in the country, is not large enough to meet the needs of the Co- lumbus members. It is the intention, should" the new mosque be built, to reta.n the present Masonic temple for Masonic lodge meetings and so- cial affairs. Kosair temple, A. A. 0. N. M. 8., Louisville, has purchased two prop- ertiés on the west side of Third street, between St. Catherine and Oak streets, that city to be used for the construction of a Shrine temple, in the kiosk style of architecture, and Jywork will be ‘'started on the building “4& soon as plans of the building com- “mittee are complete. It will have a “Iarge ‘stage and auditorium with a seating’ capacity of from 5,000 to 7,000 members. It is the intention of Kosair temple to provide the city of Louisville with an auvditorium with acoustic properties of such character -as-to male it available for the holding of large musical cvenis as well as| other meetings of a public character. | Exercises Altiact 30,000 A total of 50,000 persons attended the laying of the cornerstone of the fiew Masonic temple at Second boule- vard and Templs avenue, Detroit, Mich., recently, and preceding the ‘ceremonies 100,000 persons gathered to watch a procession of probably 25,000 Masons of Michigan as they MARKETS II 6e-7¢ | 4c-5¢ MICKIE, THE PRINTER'S DEVIL I MICKIE , “ME BOSE SANS FOR ple. Accompanying the laying of i the cornerstone were patriotic exer- Jcises of a most impressive character. |A silver spade, a memorial of the | fraternity’s dead in the great war, was used in turning the first sod for the cornerstone. Detroit Masons state the new tem- ple will be the world’s finest fraternal edifice. It will cost $4,000,000, and require two years in the building. The present temple, which will be re- tained and space in it leased to other lodges, societies and kindred organi- zations, was built 30 years ago and at the time it was thought it would meet all Masonic needs of Detroit and lo- cality, but it was outgrown in 12 years. Then there wera but 3,500 Masons in Detroit and now there are 23,000, with as many as 30,000 resid- ing in Detroit who retain their mem- betship in out-of-town lodges. The old building is valued at $1,000,000: Magnificent in Equipment The new temple will be constructed of gray terra cotta stone. It will cover an area of ground 199 by 369 feet and will be 206 feet in height. The auditorjum will be 80 feet high and the seating capacity will be 5,000. - Nine blue lodge rooms are to be provided, two royal arch chapier rooms, one commandery asylum, a consistory cathedral, a composite room arranged for the use of council, chapter or blue lodge, and a special third degree room designed with spe- cial reference to the dramatic fea- tures of the degree work. JAPANESE AVERSE TO CHANGE Idea That They Would Take Kindly to American-Built Houses Proved to Be Wrong. ' With the double hope of business success and social service, a certain firm In Japan’some years ago began the fmportation of American-made movable houses on a large scale. The houses, the firm belleved, would offer very comfortable and cozy little homes at reasonable prices to the salary-earn- ing classes of Nippon and would bring about a great improvement in the do- mestic life of_the Japanese. The enterprise, well-meaning as it undoubtedly was, turned out to be a tailure. It was like an overzealous but enlightened missionary trying to impose the dogmas of Christianity on heathens, regardiess of the latter’s idens, temperament and history. The Japanese have their own customs, modes of living and traditions, which, Irrespective of whether they be good or bad, are dear to thelr hearts and hard to give up in a fortnight. Homes are the wmost basic of institutlons, and house construction is the result of centuries of home life to a natlon. To try to induce the Japanese to give up their houses immediately and .Qlwell in the American-made houses is' like | trying to urge them to give up all Japanese ways of feeling, belleving and thinking, and to adopt occidental ways of hchavior.

Diarles and relics of Junfus Brutus Booth, famous in the annals of the American stage, were brought to light by wreckers working on the recon- struction of the famous old Walnut Street Theater, at Philadelphia, Pa., the oldest playhouse in the United States. Away up in the eaves, and there was no evidence to show how they were put there, were two big hampefs of wicker, falling to pleces from age. The theater's manager had a ladder put up, and he and 4 workman started to as- cend. The ladder broke and the workman had some ribs fractured, but the ham- pers, when finally brought down, proved well worth the trouble. | " They were full of oldtime costumes, a diary of the famous actor, a license | for Booth's father to practice law, | signed by the king of England, and a | collection of old playbills and pro- grams that are invdluable today. Alongside the hampers, resting | across two beams, was a big, thin slab | of marble. It was found to be a litho- graph stone on which were made the | pletures advertising Johu Sleeper.
