Construct It of the peerless Parian marble; you cannot make It purer than bis life I Rxbsust upon It tbe rule* and principles of ancient and modern art; you canrot make It more proportionate than hi* character.”—From the speech of Robert C. Wlntbrop at tbe laying of tbe conus- stone of tbe Washington monument July 4. 1848. In tbe National Geographic Magazine three yean ago William Howard Taft wrote of the Washington monument: Taken by Itself, the WashingHon mcnoment stands not only as one of tbe most stupendous works of man. but also as oae of the most beautiful of hII human creations. Indeed It Ik at once jo great and so simple that it seems to be almost a work of natpre. Dominating tbe entire District of Columbia, It has taken Its place with the capital and the White House as tbe three foremo-t national structures. “With a new character for each new hour, a different aspect for every change of light and shade, the Washington monument seems to link heaven and earth In the darkness, to pierce the sky in the light and to stand an Immovable mountain peck as the mists of every storm go driving by. With a height of 888 feet a base of 55 feet square, and walls tapering from 15 feet at the base to 18 Inches at the top; with Its Interior lined with memorial stones from tbe several states, from many famous organisations and from * number of foreign countries; with Its stately simplicity and the high qnallQes of manhood It honors. It Is fitting that the aluminum tip that caps It should bear the phrase ‘Laos

Deo."’

“Stately simplicity" la what makes the Washington monument one of the greatest In th.> world, observes ihe Kansas City Star. Original Plan Changed. The original pirn of the designer. Robert Mills, was to have as tbe main feature of the monument n Urge colmaned pantheon to be. used as a museum for war relics and statue* of great men. and the obelisk arise from Us center and surmount the whole. / The pantheon Idea was abandoned Uter when the monument came built, and everyone feel* now.that It l* a good thing It was so. because a building of any kind a. Us base would only detract from its sublimity and grandeur. Washington himself selected the site for the monument, but at that time the Intention was to erect on eques Irian statue, which congress had “oted for In 1783. Nothing was done until 1833, when Chief Justice John Marshall headed a movement called the “Washington Monument society.' solicit funds to build it. II was then the architect. Robert Mills, designed an obelisk surmounting a colon node of Doric columns. Some money was collected, but not enough to build It as planned, pantheon feature was abandoned and work begun on the oIm-IUIc. The corner stone, weighing twelve tons, was tali July 4. 1848. In the presence of VtfiOO people. In 1855 the funds rap out and work «'■* xtnpped, and for tweat) years the partly constructed monument reran Hied an ngty stub. But the centennial •Tposltfon of 1878 brought a revival of patriotism and there was a mtlon-wlde demand ttiat the monu meat be finished. Congress took hold of It. funds were arkoi for from every state hi well ng •‘Ontribqtlons of stone bleaks with •• hlrh to llge the intertar. ] In 1880 work on the monument w«.< | resumed hut on altered plans.

After this time the quantity of grain may be gradually Increased, feeding all that the calf will eat until three pounds * day is reached, probably during the ghlrd month. Grain fed to supplement rated milk should never be mixed tbe milk. It 1* questionable whether tbe preparation of grain In any way, such as soaking or boiling, la advisable under moat eircumstanre*. Wheat bran la eaten readily by young calve*. Ooru has an excellent physiological effect and to a great extent may taka the place of fat removed from skim or aeparaUd milk. Experiments tend to show that corn fed to calves should be cracked rather than finely ground. Ground oats are good In grain mixtures when available, but any cases coat much more per unit of feed than com and bran. The firing grain mixtures are recommended by dairy specialists of the Dnlted States department of agriculture: 1. Three parts cracked corn and one port wheat bran. 2. Three parts cracked corn, one part wheat bran and one part ground tta. 8. Three para cracked corn, one part wheat bran, one part ground oats and one part linseed meal. 4.
