IN SESSION TODAY
WASHINGTON MONUMENT ASSo-
CITATION AT LUNCHEON.

| One of the annual fixtures, without which
no Washingtons birthday would be COM
! plete. Is the meeting of the Washington
Monument Association. 1t was held this
| year at the home of Mr.. Henry willard.
| 1928 X street. Mr. Willard is q member of
| the association. and by the custom of the
| past quarter of a century of the MEM
! bers OF tf-e association annually entertains
| the others after the melting has been held.
One of the curious features of the meet
| ing is that the president is never present
| This Is because the president ex-officio is
| always the President of the United States.
/ All of the other officers were present, how
! ever and they were all reelected for the
present year. They were Justice Brown,
| first vice president; Ainsworth r. Spoford
second vice president; DR.. Dan B. Clark,
treasurer, and F. L. Harvey. secretary.
Five States Unrepresented.
1t was stated that as the Washington
| monument now stands there are still five
! states and territories unrepresened by me-
mortal stones in the shaft They are Col
orado. Idaho and Texas, among the states,
| and Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona,
| among the territories 1t was decided to
| appeal TO these commonweaIths and as
| soon as the governors had furnished the
stones to insert them. This will be no great
| engineering feat and will be paid for out
! OF the current appropriation. But 1t will
| make the representation in the shaft COM
| piete, and is desirable from purely seuti-
| mental standpoint
! One of the other matters that will no nro
! Vided for out of the current appropriation
| is the printing of cards giving the answers
| 10 lot of stock questions that tourists
naturally ask of the guides. namely how
| nigh is the monument, what are its OF her
! dimensions, when it was commenced and
When completed, what are the memorial
stones IN the inner walls of the shaft, how
| is the upkeep provided for, and about 327
other Questions that every bona fide tour
lst is sure to ask of some of the watchmen
| and caretakers.
