He is perhaps one of the best known locally of any of the employes of the Federal Government, because of his work in taking charge of decorations and architectural de- signing of stands for public functio such as inaugurations, and innumer- able statue and memorial unveilings and dedications. While Mr. Owen’s service does not officially end until January 19, he is leaving Tuesday for Nassau for a short vacation. and upon his return | will visit his old ofice daily, consum- | ing about a vear without pay in keep- | ing the great d of material he has collected shape.

He entered the Government service in 1877 in the office of the Geological | Survey. which at that time had| rooms in a building which occupied | the present site of The Star Building. | at Eleventh strect and Pennsyivania | avenue. Mr. Owen pointed out that! from scientists then employed in those rooms grew the ideas for the Smith- sonian Institution, the Cosmos Club | hristm and the National Geographic Society. | While working in the Government Mr. Owen attended George Washing- ton University, taking a post-gr: hurse in the School of Esthetics, and applied his knowledge of engineering | and art to the public parks office. While in the Geological Survey he was assistant topographer to Henry Gannett. with whom he traveled and of Colorado. With Mr. Gannett and party. he was the first to reach the top of Mount Owen, an altitude of 13.000 feet, in Colorado. The moun- tain was named after a member of Mr. Owen's family. It was Mr. Owen .-who later discovered coal below the mount in Ohio Creek. He said he | put it on the survey maps. and the 1and now is the property of the Ce rado Iron and Coal Co. The result of | the maps from the survers conduct by Mr. Owen’s party and other part working in Colorado was the produc- _ tion of an atlas of Colorado, described | . by Senator Shafroth as the “Colorado | Bible.” Laid Out Highways. ! After his service in the Geological | Survey. he went to the office of Maj. Hains. where he remained during 1883 | and 1884, assisting that official in lay- | sAng out the lines for what is now | East and West Potomac Parks and helped design the seawall, behind which was Jater pumped the mud which setiled and formed the present ks. As a matter of fact, he maid, he had the honor of being the first Aseirtant engineer to go with Maj. Hains on this important work. He! 2%0 Jaid out the major highways in these two parkwaye. In 1857 he entered the office of puh- e buildings and public parks of the National Capital, which then was| known as the office of public building and grounds, at the personal invita- | ,tion of Col. T. A. Bingham, then the engineer officer in charge. Eince that time he has been enguged in much | important work in connection with | omemonies, starting with the Roose- | velt inauguration in 1905, his last offi ! function being the unveiling of | ne memorial in the Botanic dens 1o Gen.

The acceleration is flashing (10 to S0 in a little over 135 seconds) —and no buckle or hesitation at crawling speeds in high gear. Due to its instant pick-up and quick “wristy" handling no car can equal this New Marmon 78 in getting through and around. SIX STANDARD HODY STYLES, $189§ AN At 1727 CONN.
