and that Is that every effort is being
made by those In charge of the cele-

and to make them really enjoy the

The moving picture feature OF the
safe and sane celebration Is new this
year and is expected to prove most ef-
ficacious In spreading the doctrine. In
Syracuse. N. z, the Russell Sage
Foundation has exhibited film one
thousand feet long entitled "a Sane
Fourth Of July" Its chief characters
are q mayor, his motherless little
daughter, q neighbor and her father
less small SON, a group Of dealers In
fireworks and the members OF q sane
Fourth committee.
The young widow is an ardent sup
porter Of the movement against the
sale of fireworks IN the town. The
dealers enlist the aid Of the polit-
clans and start counter movement In
favor Of an old-fashioned celebration.

with his wishes and here again his
architectural Instinct manifested itself
for Jefferson himself gave explicit in
sSructions as to the type of memorial
to be reared over his last resting
place and composed himself the In
scription which was chiseled thereon.
From an architectural standpoint
the most notable products Of Jeffer-
sons skill as an architect are located
In the highlands Of Albemarle, that
picturesque section OF old Virginia in
and around the quaint little city Of
charlottesville "a favored region
which held in the affections Of our
third President the place that Mount
Vernon occupied in the heart Of
George Washington. Here is located
Monticello, the stately and beautiful
residence which Jefferson designed
for himself and which happily en-
dures today. apparently IN the same

its original owner closed his eyes upon
it,-then as now. an ideal example Of
an American country seat Here also
are located the splendid classical
buildings OF the University OF vir-

founder and the first head and for
which institution he not only designed
the buildings but evolved every detail
Of the arrangement Of the grounds.

age OF seventeen. he read the most
difficuIt Latin and Greek authors with
facility. As q young man he began
the study Of architecture both practic-
ally and as science, dividing his
leisure between this pursuit and his
beloved violin.
It was by no means strange that
Jefferson's best architectural talent
should have been called up In design

lover husband he fashioned It as the

Milwaukee, Wis, has organized q per-

reelection will be affected by the
stand he takes upon this issue. The
attitude Of the mayor in the city coun-
CT, chamber where the fate of the
ordinance is decided and its effect
upon himself and the young widow
through the lives Of their two chill
dren constitute the material for the
series Of intensely dramatic scenes.
The providing OF a suitable program
to replace the old-fashioned fusilade
that began before dawn and ended at
midnight has been one OF the chief
problems of the workers in the cause.
From time to time suggestions have
been sent out to the various cities
and towns interested in saving their
children from injury and death. THE
Patriot" pamphlet published In the
interest of the movement by the Dem
yer Patriotic League. considers a
morning parade both entertaining and
instructive.
There should be floats representing
different periods Of our history. such
as 'The Landing Of the Pilgrims" !"
"The First Thanksgiving" series Of
thipteen floats, each representing the
original colonies, Martha and George
Washington in Colonial Dress" Betsy
Ross Making the Flag" etc. Patriotic
songs and speeches for both school
children and grown-ups and, when
properly conducted. display Of night
fireworks under the direction of ex-
perts engaged for that purpose by
the proper authorities.
The historical patriotic pageant
seems to be popular in many parts of
the country. A monster parade Of
them passed last year through the
streets of Boston, Mass. In her sister
city, Springfield, there were floats with
tableaux depicting the "Signers Of
the Declaration" and other patriotic
events. The foreign-born element of
the city were intensely interested and
exhibited floats appropriate to the
customs Of their native countries.

no less than 10000 acres. so that with
such baronial estate It was indeed
fitting that he should design an i'm
posing manor house to occupy Little
Mountain, the swell OF land on the es-
tate which was chosen as site and
which commanded q magnificent view
Of panorama that embraced wood
land and pasture.
Jefferson had chosen the site for
his home while yet q student. so that
he had years Of thought to give to the
manor house which he ultimately de-
signed and erected on the ten acre
tract crowning the 60o-foot hill which
had long since caught his fancy. The
floor plan which he evolved is sug-

course the work was done by slaves
and most Of the material was obtained
on the estate. The bricks were made
on the site by the slaves (of which
jefferson had several hundred, al
though he was always opposed to
slavery and made attempts to abolish
it) and the Sage Of Monticello even
established on the estate nail-fac-
tory where every nail used in the con-
struction Of the building was forged.
Next to Monticello the classic build
ings Of the University Of Virginia rep
resent the most interesting and most
important achievements Of Thomas
Jefferson, architect The forerunner
Of the University OF Virginia, which
was. by the way, the first real univer-
sitv established n the New World, was
authorized by the State Legislature OF
Virginfx in 1903, the year following
the completion Of Monticello. How
ever no headway was made with the
proieot until March, 1914, when Jef-
ferson, the real head and founder OF
the institution In its ultimate form,
was elected to the board OF directors
Jefferson threw himself into the prof.
ect heart and soul. He designed the
first building and laid It's cornerstone
and later formulated the whole archi-
tecturaI scheme of the university
which is one of the most beautirul IN
the United States and probably in the
whole world. Jefrerson's plan for the
educational system Of the university
was, from the outset, an elastic one
that would permit expansion In ac-
cordance with the advance OF thought
and the extension of knowledge and
so likewise the architectural plan
which he formulated for ''the child OF
his old age" as the university has been
called, was likewise designed to pro-
vide an arrangement and grouping OF
buildings, the symmetry OF which
would not be affected by any addi-
tions that would have to be made n
later years. The scheme has WORKED
out Just as he foresaw and the newer
buildings are in perfect harmony Wltn
those designed by Jefferson.
In his preparation Of designs for tnS
university buildings, Jefferson received
much of his inspiration from the his
toric designs by Palladio and In his
adaptation Of these he proved himself
an artist as well as an architect. The
arrangement Of the buildings has been
compared to that of an old italian
monastery. The original group
planned and built under Jefferson's
personal supervision. consists OF four
parallel rows of structures and at one
end stands the Pantheon-like rotunda-
Many Of the buildings are replicas OF
historic buildings of ancient times.

of his life and which attest.-as for

fcations as to the dimensions Of the
monument to be erected over his
grave.-that the architectural bent
was strong in this remarkable man up
to the very last days of his life
