Capital of Nati the | Washington, the capital of nation, has more spots of historic: im- vortance and interest than any other city in America. There is scarcely a block that does not contain some hal- lowed memory of a great deed done or of a famous man that farked the destinies of the nation. - Even un- developed outskirts of the clty—thei flelds and lanes and rivers—are crowded: with the incidents that molded what is now the greatest nation in_the world. So many, indeed, are these places that the visitor to the capital has but time to visit the most important, and even in doing this realizes that these places themselves, the rooms, the furniture and the many things connected with them are surrounded with historical events. The Capitol, the legislative seat of the nation; Mount Vernon, thé home of George Washington; Arlington, where the nation's bravest rest and the tomb of “The Unknown Soldier;" | the Lee Mangion, and the places con- | nected with the life of Abraham Lin- coln are perhaps the most visited of the national shrines. .The homes of great men. the scenes of unforgetable events and the wonderful buildings with which the city abounds are as well the center of great attraction. Pennsylvania avenue, the main ar- tery of the city, abounds in public | buildings of interest, flanked at one end by the Capltol and at the other | by the Treasury building, the White | House and the State War and Navy | Luilding. Approach to Park. | Potomac Park, directl to ' the southwest of the city, spreads out | around the W ington Monument and the newly completed Lincoln | memorial, with its beautiful reflect- ing pool.

Origin and Name Of Shriners’ Fez In Old Arab City The red fez, which is worn by the nobles of the Mystic Shrine, gets ite name from its original place of manu- facture, Fez (or Faz), to which pil- grimages were made by the Moham- medans about 980 A. D., when the pil- grimages to Mecca were interrupted by the crusades and those of the Mos- lem faith living west of the Nile jour- neyed to Fez as to the holy eity. A manufacturer of that city sup- plied to the students of a great school there a scarlet tarboosh, which was the insignia of the school and the means by which the students were readily recognized. The fez, or the tarboosh, came to be known by the pllgrims, who carried away similar pleces of headwear, It s today the headpiece of nearly every resident of the orient. “The city of Fez" from which the red cap was named, became the “Holy ¢city” when pilgrimages to Mecca were interrupted by the Christian warriors n the fourth century. A. D. 980 the Mohammedans west of the Nile jour- rieyed to Fez as to a holy city, and to this day no one but the faithful of Allah is permitted to enter the city proper without special permission from the authorities. &5 The red fezzes or caps, which are so in evidence at the gathering of the nobles of the Mystic Shrine, are made in these modern times of Wwhite wool and shaped in Germany, Austria and elsewhere, and sent to the Turkish dominion, where they are dyed red. The Arab dyers keep the secret of using scarlet in dyeing wool, for their 800ds never fade, while the imitations almost always lose thelr color. Fez, the holy city of the empire, and one of the three residences of the sultan, is the leading commercial town ‘of Morocco, With mostly a wholesale trade. Its leathers are re- garded the finest and most durable made in North Africa. It is the seat of the once-renowned University of Morocco. The red caps or fezses, for which it was once noted, are now made chiefly in Austria, France and Turkey. The golden days of the fez began in the ninth century and con- glnuod until about the thirteenth cen- ry. It was then celebrated as a paradise. Around the city, it is said, were splen- a1 of rarest fruits. The sofl, wagered by a thousand streams, was of extraordin: r{ fertility. Its nu merous schools, libraries and famous universities attracted etudents even The climate, its fruit: its fountains and wells, d beauty caused the city to enjoy & reputation unique in Islam, but its glory has long since departed. —_— GREAT BLACK NUDE SLAVE GUARDS LU LU POTENTATE Potentate W, Freeland Kendriok of Lu Lu Temple of Philadelphia, when leading his cohorts {n parades, will be followed by his bodymuard, Noble Fred Bulmer, black from head to foot and flude save for brescholoth and sandals, In his role, Fred, a born humorist and aotor, is as happy boy wtripped for a dive in .the “old swimming hole, "With golden rings hanging from hin bigok noke Ana eara and a hnr lden moimeter W) xlnl from x&- lack hands, he terrifien 1ittle ohlldren on the side- walk, who hide hog' fages in moth- er's ll‘lru untl| hear ¥red's m n‘ and 8t him PS . include { soon to be| Dopey Dan and the Shriners BY W.

Believin® as I do, that the most pitiful “potato” in the package is the penurious “spud” who can't entertain without figurin’ returns, and realiz- in’ that what I'm about to ask—for it is a favor—may reflect such a na- ture, please consider the request in the same spirit I make it! Taps are about to be sounded on your magnificent pageant—unques- tionably a record-breakin’ specatcle! You came, you saw, you con- quered! And in that comin’ what did you find—a strange, apathetic, un- patriotic people, or just plain every-day folks like your own back at home? Are Washingtonians any different from the average run of reg- ular, boney-fidy Americans, encounteréd at every crossroad throughout our incomparable land; from the sun-kissed shores of California to the rock-ribbed coast of far cast Maine; the sandy dunes of southern Texas to the ice-topped cliffs of old Noo York, arc they? Your mighty hordes carried the old flag all through the demonstra- tion—so did we! With bared heads you sa- luted its spotless folds, flutterin’ freely to heaven—so did we! You glory in the great emblem’s untarnished record, which rather than see sullied you'd lay down your lives— so would we! You're rightfully proud that one of the forty-eight stars in its broad field of blue represents achievements by them of your state, as we certainly would be if such was the case, but it's not, Nobles, buh-licve me, it’s not! " MR SPEAKER. You QVERLOOKED Not a stripe nor star, state scal Nor bar, nor spec o' filigree Is there to show that D. C. folks Are reckoned with the iree! And what’s mgre, there never will be un- til you and the rest of the generous-hearted populace of our indissoluble Union, through your emissaries in Congress, grant to the poor little voteless subjects of the District of Columbia their long-overdue inalienable rights —national representation ! 5 Mebbe you're wise and mebbe you ain'’t, that as the matter stands, and has stood ever since the unmatchable ten-mile-square was selected as the governmental seat of our great nation, residents of the area have never amounted to any more than a flock of tongue-tied Arabians, in so far as havin’ a chirp the affairs af our country! We pay our taxes, do all our power to uphold the Constitootion, get snitched and willin'ly accept the dictates of the co't- house without so much as a whimper, chip in our full share when the Treasury runs low and send our brave lads to fight and bleed for their homeland, but when it comes to makin’ suggestions as to how things should be run, we're met with a “shush” and told to be patient! Ratty old Roosia can hardly beat that! Now listen, Shriners! Volumes of whys and wherefores, both pro and con, have been writ on this perplexin’ condition! It's a threadbare tale, datin’ back more than a hundred annums, and entirely too intriket to explain at one settin’! Nevertheless, the bare-face fact remains that such a condition does exist, has always existed, and might have continued xist until Gabricl blew his tooter, were it not that a few intrepid, Red- te-and-Blue Washingtonians, who believe in their souls, as their sires believed before them, that when Patrick Henry hopped up the meetin’ house and shouted at the top of his shouter, “Taxation without represen tation is tyranny!” the zealous patriot meant his stirrin’ sentiments as much for them who had their mail sent keer of the District of Columbia as ever he did for the folks in the state In other words, Nobles, the whole bloomin’ proceedure is all out of gear, for aside from it bein’ positively un-American from any slant you take it, it's absolutely unfair to dignified rep- resentatives of more than 400.000 souls, who have to gumshoe through the sacred halls of Congress, kow-towin’ to this and that legisla- tor every time a pipe busts or we need a new schoolhouse ! And, moreover, just think of the humi tion! The Lord knows it's a tough enough </ job for a Washingtonian to cxcuse his un- franchised state when tourin’ furreign lands, but when you figure the ~embarrassment usually suffered by delegates from the Dis- trict to the great political conventions that in itself should be sufficient grounds for de- manding a new deal! Sure, we send delegates to all while conventions, but it seldom amounts to more than a trip on the train! Openin’ the session the big Settin’ Bull of the conclave immediately proceeds to call the roll, follow- in’ up numbers with the name of each state in alphabetical order! Fr'instance, “One, Alabama; two, Arizona;” and so on through until orty-eight, Wyoming!” This over, a treq-mendous cheer sweeps the auditorium, and some hungry “persimm s about to . move for adjournment, when the janitor, window-washer or other thoughtful party reminds the main-works that he fergot to call “Zero”! _Much confused and bowin’ all over the platiorm, the thoughtless chairman then steps to the front and cuts loose with this: \“Friends, there has been a slight oversight in callin’ the roll and I want to apologize! It there are any delegates in the house who_represent ‘Nothin'® they will kindly arise!” And right then our poor birds spread their feathers and start in to twitter! - " tIz aint fair, Nobles, hones’ it ain't! And the favor I referred to s, at now that you're about to depart for your homes, which I notice by the registration are located in virtually every state in our blessed coun- try, on your return get back of the movement for national representa tion for us in the District and never quit workin’ till we put the thing over!
