Tord Aylmer, former inspector general of the Canadian forces, died last night at Queen's Bay, Kootenay Lake, in his cighty-second year. | Although the street illuminations; | for the Shriners’ convention in Wash- ington are Said to have surpassed the candlepower record for such display, the majestic, flood-lighted dome of the United States Capitol shone above the myriad bulbs like a mighty beacon, says a bulletin from the Na- tional Geographic Soclety, The noble proportions of the great dome even stood out In intaglio clearness ‘above the festoons: which roofed historic Pennsylvania avenue with a great canopy of dazzling light. The story of this dome is related by Gilbert Grosvenor in the course of ja communication to the soclety, enti- tled “The Capitol, Wonder Bullding of | the World,” as follows: | “Duringthe darkest hours of the |civil war, while the Capitol basement | Flood-Lighted Capitol Mighty Beacon Shrine Week Dome lid ‘service as a military bakery, Lin- coln insisted that there be no suspen- slon of the' baflding of its dome, “District volunteers, enrolled to de- fend thelr, homes and the capital, heard reports:of plots to burn the fiqur mills in Georgetown.

Metal Shells Form Inverted Bowl. “Today the veriest layman pauses as he climbs the steps, one for every day in the year, to its lofty platform, to admire the engineering skill which bolted, girdled, clamped and trussed the two mammoth metal shells that form the majestic inverted bowl. ‘Aloft the mechanics are forgotten in the beauty of the panorama of the city, the river and the Virginia hills be- yond. “From that vantage point the visi- tor looks down upon ‘the main axis of the city's artistic development, past the Grant Memorial, across the restful, green Mall to the sky-plerc- ing shaft erected to the memory of ‘Washington and thence to the impos- ing Lincoln Memorial, with the amphi- theater-crowned heights of Arlington in the background, and instinctively knows that here urban beauty and civic .dignity approach their highest expression. Inspires Awesome Thought. “It is an awesome thought to walk through the rotunda knowing that nearly 9,000,000 pounds of metal are hanging over one's head. There is no need for alarm. Only a terrific earth; qQuake or the rust of ages can assail the fixity of this airlly woven fron fab- ric. The Capltol's superintendent guards against the latter incursion by ix- ing 4,300 pounds of paint and em- ploying thirty-five men for about three months when the‘dome needs bronze figure- which sur- mounts the dome alone weighs 15,000 pounds and is three and one-half times as tall as an average man.

It is our business to make avoirdupois look like troy weight. Here is apparel that takes pounds off your appearance, the lines and styles magically pro- ducing the illusion of slenderness.
