The first visitation was, technically, to East Gate Lodge, of which John D. McDuffie is master. After the official side of the visitation, such as the reading of re- ports and other details, had been con- cluded, East Gate Lodge was closed and King David Lodge, Claude B. Phelps, master, opened. Both the lodges showed substantial gains in membership during the Masonic year, and both indi- cated the possession of stbstantial: as- sets, largely represented by the two structures mentioned, which they own Grand Master Wisdom D. Brown 1e- viewed the matters of outstanding in- terest to the fraternity. The evening ended with instrumental and vocal solos, “community” singing and the serving of refreshments. The next grand visitations in the se- ries of 1929 are scheduled for this eve- ning, to Hiram Lodge, No. 10, at 8 o'clock, and to La Fayette Lodge, No, 19. and Congress Lodge, No. 37, jointly, at 8:30 o'clock. These three lodges hold their communications in Masonic Tem- associated with Abraham Lincoin. The 1isit, a few days ago, to the department of one of the Chief Executive's aides to look at the chair and obtain photo- | graphs of it, has lent color to the be- lief that it may yet find :is way tg the White House collection, embracing Arti- cles reminiscent of the Great Emanci- | | | | pator. Tradition at the Navy Department has it that Lincoln was wont to spend | part of his nights in the department’s | telegraph office with Capt. Gustavus V. Fox, the Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Fox was rated as a good story teller, and while waiting for the mili- tary 'telegraph to bring in the latest intelligence, the President and Fox used to beguile the time by swapping yarns. Capt. H. A. Wise was, at times, & mem- ber of this select company. President Hoover is represented as liking this chair of curious appearance | which the Navy Department now has. Its qualities are described as being un- comfortable, if the upright posture is used, but most comfortable, if the sitter lounges in it—as Lincoln did, with his | carpat-siippered feet stretched out on | Dearborn, HOOVER TO DELIVER THREE RADIO TALKS Cincinnati and Ohio River Near Louisville Broadcast Scenes. v the Associated Press.

Commissioner r in_a re- port today to Secrefary Wilbur recommended that, efféctive No- vember 1, the Governor of Alaska be given the responsibility of supervising the missions of rein- deer in that territory. The office of education assumed the responsibility - 40_ years ago when it obtained 18 reindeer in an experiment designed to fur- nish meat for Eskimos because their supply of ‘walrus and whale meat had been cut off by hunters from the South. The herd new has grown into over & million. FLOOR COVERINGS From among America’s Jead- ing specialists, a “Committee of Authority” has been se- lected to test, gauge and in- sure that these floor coverings ‘are correct in design and qQuality, Henry Clay is supposed to have been | the donor of the chair to the father of Commodore Stockton, United States Navy, who used it at sea. The Wash- ington Navy Yard workmen made some | repairs on the chair, as the result of | damage sustained by it in the explosion | |of & gun aboard the U. S. S. Princeton. | Later it was presented to Assistant | Secretary Fox. | The chair is' made of five different varieties of wood and its carving in- cludes representations of naval guns, shield and eagles’ heads. Secretary of the Navy Welles, fol- lowing President Lincoln's death. took the chair to his home, where John M. Evans, his steward, used it. Evans, who ‘was later employed by the Navy Depart- ment, took the chair with him and he used it for years as his messengers’ chair in the office of library and naval ‘war records, Navy Department. ‘The chair i8 now in room 2726, Navy Department, and the pho aph for President: Hoover was taken by P.
