While every person in the National Capital—citizen or guest-“is not de- vouring two eggs for breakfast each morning, the food experts at Shrine headquarters have discovered that so | many are being used for cakes and ‘pastries that the average daily con- eumption for every man, woman and child is almost three whole eggs. Since each egg s supposed to be equivalent to a pound of meat, the central committee feels its guests should go home well fed at least. The amount of food being burned up by human digestion in Washing- ton every day during the Shrine con- vention 1# too great for the human mind to visualize.

He would be a generous spender, however, for every meal would cost him $1,000,000, and a tank car full of coffee would be to him a demi tause. The dome of the Capitol avould just about serve as his fez, and Waah- ingtom's monument would provide him with a falr walking stick. 1f the stfawberries he could consume were counted one by one, the result would sound more Itke the dol'ars Surope owes America than a human Dbeing’s dessert.

And were the sam persons to get up and stand in singie file, the line would exterd from Washington to forty miles past Cum- berland, far away in the Blue Ridge mountains of Maryland. These figures do not even take into consideration the permanent popula tlon of Washington.

Chief Watson realized months ago that Pennsylvania avenue and other downtown thoroughfares would be so jammed with trafic_as to be almost impassable to fire apparatus during the convention To surmount this difficulty, he split his department into two distinct en- titles, one north and the other south of the avenue. Later. however, the chief began to SHRINE SINGER HERE SERENADED GRANT DURING CIVIL WAR When the advance guard of Alad- din Temple of Columbus, Ohlo, Presi- dent Harding's temple, came to they stated that Jack member of the Aladdin the finest sololst in all Shrinedom and that his singing would take Washington by storm. These men were true prophets. But Aladdin Temple also brought along an- other™ famous singer. Col. Henry Frillman, eighty years young, who has been ‘singing since he was eight years old ber of the Ohio legisiature, a civil war veteran, and he was a member of a soldlers' quartet which sang for Grant 'in the field at Chattanooga. While singing with the Columbus Glee Club at Grant's second in- jauguration in 1873 the President recognized him as the fobmer soldier Loy who sang for him at the battle front and invited him to be the guest of himself and Mrs. Grant at the White House. This glee ciub, which is composed almost_entirely of members of Alad- din’s chorus, has sung at the inaugu- Tation of every Ohio President since Grant, with the exception of Presi- dent Harding, whose inaugural was not attended by the club becausa of the latter's wish to keep it free from ostentation. Several weeks after the inaugural the club made a special trip to Washington to sing for the President. “McKinley used to join in thé sing- ing when we would sing for him, first when he was Governor of Ohio and .Jater _when he was President,” said Col. Frillman. *“‘The major, as he.was known by us, liked to get in a corner with a. group of our mem- bers when we called at his home, hi apartments or Hig office and strike up some favorite song. in which we would all Jolp.
