CATHEDRAL DRAWS T00VISITORS DALY Ranks With Capitol as Mag- net for Washington Sightseers. Official figures issued last night die- closed the Washington Cathedral has taken rank with the Capitol, Washing- ton Monument, and Lincoln Memorial as a magnet for visitors. ‘The tabulations revealed that more than 277,000 persons have visited the edifice on Mount .St. Alban during the year now drawing to a close. The count ‘was made of persons entering Bethle- hem Chapel, the first portion of th Cathedral to be completed and the scene of daily services. More than a million worshipers and pilgrims have been recorded since January 1, 1927. 1,000 Daily Visitors Estimated. Estimates place the number of daily visitors to the Cathedral hillside at 1,000 persons. Accurate figures are confined, however, to those who enter the crypt of the edifice. Thousands are attracted to outdoor services held dur- ing the Summer at the Peace Cross or in the open-air amphitheater. Others confine their pilgrimages to inspection R the exterier of the main building, adjacent grounds and associated struc- tures. During recent months the visitors’ register in the curator’s office has been signed by residents of England, Scot- land, Canada, Africa, New Zealand, Panama, Uraguay, Rumania, Jamaica, Australia, Cuba, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Sweden, Serbia, China and India. Although the cross-shaped outline of the Cathedral fabric has been visible from ‘the air for many yeass, it is only within recent months that the future cruciform proportions have become noticeable to persons viewing the super- structure. An interesting phase of the Cathedral work is that the major share of the building cost goes for labor. According to Cathedral authorities, more than 90 m cent of the funds expended for ding_is distributed in the form of wages. Including workmen on construc- tion and in the stone:fabricating plant at Bethesda, Md., employes in the Ca- thedral offices, also employes of the Col- lege of Preachers, the National Cathe- dral School for Girls, and St. Albans, the National Cathedral School for Boys, the Cathedral now provides employ- ment for approximately 450 persons. South Transept Funds Sought. Present activities of Cathedral com- mittees, including the National Com- mittee, of which Gen. John. J. Persh- ing is chairman, are concerned with se- curing funds for the building of the South Transept, the other arm of the edifice. It is hoped to complete both the North and South Transepts by 1932 for use during the George Washington Bicentennial. Officials said that if $50,000 a month were available for the construction of the South Transept and | for landscape activities, the Cathedral could provide employment for 350 ad- ditional workmen, thus helping relieve the unemployment emergency in the District. TABLEAU IS PLANNED BY RESERVE OFFICERS Many Members of Service Organi- zations Make Reservations for Party New Year Eve. ‘The District of Columbia Depart- ment of the Reserve Officers’ Associa- tion has planned a novel tableau for New Year eve at the Raleigh Hotel. Reservations for the party have been made by many members of the Military Order of the World War, the American Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Blade, Spanish-American War Veterans and other organizations. At midnight his majesty Father Time | will be escorted from the party by his knights, Sir Hamiltod, Sir Waltham and Sir Elgin, and while the clock is still striking, his royal highness Prince New Year will enter the festivities on | the arm of Lady Bulova, followed by the princes and princesses of the realm, arrayed in regal splendor. The crown prince of time will re-| oeive a vociferous welcome from his! faithful subjects and the ringing of | bells will acclaim to the world the| coronation of the heir to the throne of time, which waits on no man.
