The committee on arrangements for the celebration has decided that the parade, which is to be one of the out- standing features, shall partly traverse the Capital City, since Washington is linked with the project, and the Peace Monument, at the foot of the Capitol, has been selected as the starting point The procession will form on Mary- land avenue and will begin moving up Pennsylvania avenue at noon. Floats taking part in the parade are to be ready an hour before starting time. Frank T. Tracey has been selected as grand marshal of the parade, which will go to Fifteenth street, to the Highway Bridge, thence on Jefferson Davis Highway to zier avenue, thence to Mount Vernon avenue and Columbia pike, thence to Glebe road and Pershing drive, thence to Clare: don avenue and Wilson boulevard, thence to Clements avenue and the Lee Highway, thence to Virginia ave- nue, Lyon Village, where the festiv- ities for the remainder of the day will be held on the athletic field. Parade Without Marchers. Walter U. Varney, general man of the commitice on arrange- ments, and Milford Witts, general sec- retary, announce there will be ro marchers in the parade—only motor cars and floats. With the entire mo- torized fire apparatus of the county entered and many of the civic organi- zations and business firms planning to enter floats, it is expected at least 309 vehicles will be in line, ~All auto- mobile owners have been invited to drive their cars. Prizes will be of- fered for the best decorated private omr and for the best decorated fire chief's car. Prizes will be offered for the best decorated commercial and school flcats A holiday has been declared in the public schools to allow the thousands | of youngsters to participate in tire memorial event. Twenty school floats are promised for the parade. A fire hydrant has been installed near the scene of the festivities to be held in Lyon Village following the parade, and this will be turned on With appropriate ceremony. Representative R. Walton Moore, who played the leading part in getting the consent of the Government for the county to connect with the Dale- carlia Reservoir, and Col. U. 8. Grant, 3d, of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission will be the prin- cipal speakers during the afternoon exercises. A barbecue will be served free, fol- lowing which games will be in order. The cadets of Washington and Lee and George Mason High Schools will put on a prize drill. The evening program will open with fireworks. A bonfire of great size will help in the illuminations, and when the flames get to a certain point the fire companies will demonstrate the full strength of the water flow. The affair will be climaxed with a chair- a celeb: 1 | STATUARY HALL AT THE CAPITOL BY NANNIE the Museum, under , there is a Sioux war- rior in a war shirt of tanned n, fringed and beaded, trousers of deerskin Around his throat is a claws, and a stone- shows just how he g colors, brown, auburn and g with a curl to it— the scalps of wom-| an pioneers.

And then a young school teacher came along with a string of little children. She was an intensely earnest young | woman, and as she swarmed her lit- tle flock around the case inclosing the landing of Columbus, two boys and a tiny girl came over to the near-by Sioux fizure and began to size him up—as little children have a way of dyed green necklet of bear headed club came by hi costume dance in the spacious garage | goio o i ® Ul G of the Washington, Maryland and Vir- ginia Coach Co., which will be appro- priately decorated.

It is a phase of earthly imperfection that nelther hu- man nor thing-inanimate may dodge— All of which 18 to let you know that something went wrong with an elec- tric fuse the other night and put one section of an apartment house into a degree of blackness that we classics call stygian. And if you are acquaint- ed with the stygian type you will know that there is nothing so pall- black as the sudden snapping out of an electric light; a blackness that fits you like a shroud. One tenant who was having a lovely time ali to herself in a comfy chair, a just-right lamp and a fresh maga- zine, sat for an instant in rigid fea which was foolish in her, of course, ard then groping in every direction but the right one, to find a match, bumped into her door to find the corri- dor lighted and to hear the cheerful voice of a little tenant below who had come into the hall to find out what was wrong. And the relief that fel- low misery begets sent the scared-cat woman down the steps to join the cheertul one below. And she was be- moaning that she had only two inches of unreliable eandle, the flower-gilt leavings of a tea party, and that she was so scared she didn’t know what to do—when another tenant of the apart- ment house in passing by beamed out a cheerful assurance to the sensible tenant that the lights would soon be_on. With this good news to go by, the scared-cct one returned to her apart- ment—not so black with the door open—found the matches, lit the nubbin of candle and then sat close to its sputt glimmer and wondered what she would do if it flickered out before the light was on. And while she was worrying, the bell rang, and there stood a nice, small boy holding a little red candle. The kindly passer-hy had sent it up to help out till the light came along. It was a little red candle that looked as if it had a memory of some merry dofngs last Christmas. And its sturdy scarlet and husinesslike wick gave cheering promise of reliable rays to come.

It was the criticism that brought her to where a woman was pegging at a typewriter—in a big place where many women work—also men. Seating herself, placing a leather bag—not 80 sanitary—on a page of clean copy, and demanding the lower- ing of the curtain, she began what she had come to say: “There seem to be a number of people employed here, and I suppose you all get paid for it.” ‘When you have had your years of sampling odds and ends of humanity— mostly good, often eccentric and always mighty interesting—you learn how to tune in on every occasion that comes along.

The main corridor extend ing from the Senate to the House passes through the center of Statuary Hall, and, while there is still some open space near the center, installa- tioa of many more statues would tend to give the chamber a crowded appearance.

One proposal is that the statues be extended along the corridors running north and south from the hall, but it s the belief of some who have given thought to the subject that this would not solve the problem adequately. Another suggestion is that the crypt of the Capitol, a large, vault- like chamber beneath Statuary Hall, and one of the oldest portions of the historic structure, be decorated and equipped with an adequate s lighting to serve as a statuar "These are merely tentative possibil- ities and undoubtedly other solutions will be put forward. How soon the present Statuary Hall will become crowded depends on how rapidly new statues are presented by thoSe States that still have one or two niches to fill, Statue of La Follette.

He made an unsu ful race for the presidency as an in- dependent camdidate in 1924. ‘Word also has come to the office of David Lynn, architect of the Cap- itol, that Kentucky has taken prelim- inary steps to award its two places i Statuary Hall to Henry Cla trious statesman, and to Dr. McDowell, who achieved distinction as a surgeon. Only a year ago, an- other State, Georgia, honored a mem- ber of the medical profession by pre- senting the statue of Dr. Crawford W. Long. The work of making the statues of Clay and Dr. McDowell has been intrusted by Kentucky to Charles H. Niehaus, sculptor, of New Jersey. As Speaker of the House, as Se v of State and as an orator on the floor of the Senate for many years, Clay stood out in the history of the era in which he was in public life, from 1803 to 1852, and a statue of him will be a notable addition to Statuary Hall. Mississippi, according to informa- tion reaching Washington, is planning to give its space in the hall of statues to Jefferson Davis, sident of the Confederacy, and Z. George, a former Senator from Mississippl. A statue of Alexander H. Stephens, who was vice president of the Con- federate States during the Civil Wa is contemplated by Georgia to fill the one space it is still entitled to in the hall. Following the war, Stephens was elected to Congress, and subse- quently was chosen governor of the State, dying during his term. California Has Two. California 1s another State that has plans under way for filling its places in Statuary Ha According to the architect’s office at the Capitol, that State has selected Reu. Thomas Starr King, minister, lecturer and author, and Father Junipero Serra, a Fran- ciscan missionary. The former spent his early days in New England, but in 1860 he became pastor of a church in San Francisco. Before moving to the West Coast Rev. Thomas Starr King wrote a book on “The White Hills, Their Legends, Landscapes and Poetry.” He became widely known in California, and there is a monument to him in Golden Gate Park. Father Serra was in charge of the Lower California missions in 1768, and later founded the San Diego and Monterey missions. From South Carolina authorities at the Capitol are expecting a statue of ‘Wade Hampton, soldier and states- man. He was governor of his State from 1876 to 1878, following which he came to the Senate. ‘The legislation of 1864, creating a National Statuary Hall in what had been the old hall of the House, grew out of a suggestion made as early as 1854 by Gouverneur Kemble, a former member of the House from New York. In that year Kemble visited the Capi- tol and discussed the question of the future use of the old hall of the House with Capt. Montgomery C. Meigs, who was superintending the enlargement of the Capitol. Ten years passed, how- ever, before the Statuary Hall legisla- tlon was enacted. Records of the architect of the Capitol show that after the invitation of the Government to send statues was transmitted to the governors of the then existing States, five years elapsed before the first one, that of Nathaniel Greene, was presented by Rhode Island in 1870. Two years later the same State filled its quota by sending the statue of Roger Williams. Comments by Lynn, Discussing the development of Statuary Hall in his last annual report, Mr. Lynn, architect of the Capitol. made this comment: “In the years following the setting apart of this space for a national statuary hall, the responses of the States to the invitation were not as rompt a8 might have been expected. t may be that the invitation was cated statue of Robert have to turn its at-| “GETTING WELL ROO A corner of the “getti Sibley Hospital.

CHANNEL SWIMMER FACES PERIURY CHARGE Dr. Logan and Her Trainer Accused After Admitting Hoax in Claim. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 29.—Indictable summonses for perjury, News of the World says, have been issued against Dr. Dorothy Cochrane Logan and her trainer, Horace Carey. Dr. Logan was the perpetrator of the recent Channel swimming hoax. She signed an affir- mation that she had swum the Chan- nel, but lat declared that it was merely a hoax. The case, the paper adds, has been set for a hearing on November 7. News of the World, says that the summons were procured by Sir Archi- bald Bodkin, director of public prose- cution, who personally ~investigated the circumstances of Dr. Logan's ad- venture, in which, she admitted, she had spent most of the time of her alleged swim aboard the convoying boat. This was done, she explained, in order to show that it was easy to fake a Channel swim, in the hope that her revelation would bring about or- ganized supervision of these ventures.
