PLATE PRINTERS
DAY At HEARING
Canadian Power Press Bills De-
clared Inferior to American
Hand Press Currency.

That Canadian paper currency printed
on power presses is inferior to Uncle
Sans notes printed on hand presses
was the most important fact brought out
yesterday before the Senate Committee
on Printing by Attorney J. II. Ralston,
representing the Plate Printers Union
which is leading the fight to defeat the
proposal to substitute power for hand
presses in the Bureau OF Engraving and
Printing. as provided In the Smoot bill
BY questioning three veteran employees
OF the bureau, Attorney Ralston elicited
the testimony that because the engFav-
Ing on the power press plates Is deeper
and the lines coarser than on the hand
press plates, Il Is easier to counterfeit
the Canadian paper currency than the
American. II was testified also that
from the printing viewpoint the hand
press United States bills are superior
to the power press Dominion bills.
Frederick Smiley, an engraver at the
bureau, after examining an American
and a Canadian bill. asserted that the
latter was easier to reproduce, princi-
pally bcause OF its grayness. and that
the engraving on the Canadian bill was
inferior to the engraving on the Ameri-
can note.
Marcus Baldwin. an engraver at the
bureau. testified that when the engraved
lines on a note are broad and deep IL
is easier TO photograph and reproduce the
note. Michael Flaherty, plate printer
declared that stamps printed on power
presses do not have as much color as
stamps printed on hand presses. Speak
ing Of printing In general at the bu-
reau. Flaherty testified that the power
press product Is inferior to the printing
by hand press
J. A. Poole, power pressman at the
bureau, yesterday denied he had made a
statement that the product OF the power
presses is equal to the product OF the
hand presses. Director Ralph has told
the committee that he had in his posses
sion such a statement made by Poole.

I'VE have great prosperity IL has its

demagogue. Civilization depends upon
the normal. not upon the abnormal. In

LINCOLN TEMPLE
IN POTOMAC PARK
Memorial Commission Will
Recommend Site to Con-
gress This Week.
WILL ALTER DESIGNS

At meeting In the White House yes
terday afternoon. the Lincoln Memorial
Commission. comprising the President,
three Senators, the Speaker OF the House,
and two representatives. decided TO reject
other sites heretofore suggested and build
the giant memorial to the martyred
President in Potomac Park.
While an individual expression OF opin-.
ion was not made public. II Is understood
that the committee was unanimously in
favor OF the project, which is in line
with President Tafts idea of making
the river park a popular recreation
ground for washngtonians.
The recommendation OF the committee
on the site for the Lincoln memorial will
be forwarded to Congress this week, when
Il is expected the plan will be unani-
mously adopted by both Houses.
The commission. comprising the Presi-
dent, as a member ex oficio; Senator's
Cullom, Wetmore, and Money, Speaker
Clark, and Representatives Cannon and
Mccall, met in the executive Offices at
o clock in the afternoon and remained in
session for moro than an hour. In an
nouncing the choice OF Potomac Park as
the site of the memorial. Il was explained
that this reservation alone seemed sufii-
ciently large, centrally located and i'm
proved. to accommodate the Lincoln
temple.
The commission did not decide upon
any design, but returned plans that had
been submitted by Henry Bacon and
John Russell Pope, both New York archi-
tects, TO be altered, and to be submitted
again. Architect Bacon submitted a de-
sign for the Mall or Potomac Park site,
and It IS believed that the commission
Is inclined to favor his design. Mr.. Pope's
designs were made for the Meridian Hill
and Soldiers Home sites.
II is stated that the general design OF
both is similar. A huge temple, support
ed by pillars. will house the statue OF
Lincoln, which will be cut IN heroic size.
The estimated cost OF the memorial Is
s. OOo. 900.
When It was first announced that a
memorial to Lincoln was to be erected
in this city there was strong pressure
from all sides TO have the monument
erected at the eastern end OF the city,
beyond Lincoln Park. Until a month or
more ago It was generally expected that
this site would be chosen. Mrs. John b.
Henderson was leader of those who in
sisted that the memorial should be placed
on Meridian Hin northwest.

The realization that water Is the most
essential factor in the life OF this planet
and Is necessary in order to appreciate
the many different elements which re-
produce life, was the keynote OF lee

expert for the Department OF Agricul-
ture. on the subject, Water
Water, air, and sunshine" said DR..
Niece, make life on this planet pos
sIble. There Is no vitality where
there Is no water, and the enormous
amount OF this aqueous fluid which IS
necessary in order TO carry n man
throughout the year is astounding. Man
can live on so pounds OF bread and the
same amount OF meat IN year. but
can you realize how much water is nee
esssry In the process of production and
assimilation?
1T is estimated that the water used
In the production OF the wheat with
which the bread Is made and that con-
sumed in the different stages OF the
production OF the meat is approximately
4, 400 pounds"

Praise for Herald.
Members Of the committee who have
been assuming charge OF the manage

expressed their appreciation of the aid
of The Washington Herald IN giving pub
licfty to the activities on the Tidal Basin.
The committee deeply appreciates
what The Herald has done to boost skat-
ing on the Basin this winter said Dr.
E. c. Meyer, chairman of the committee,
last night The Herald has given the
most accurate accounts OF the skating
events on the rink Of any of the papers
in the city. Its loyal support OF this
healthy Pastime is greatly appreciated
not only by the committee, but ! am
sure, by the general public"
Il wish personally to thank The Herald
for what il has done to advertise the
skating on the Tidal Basin this season."
said Z. c. Palmer. treasurer Of the COM
nittee, last night. Skating is a sport
which all Washington should take ad-
vantage of. It is rarely that good skat-
ing lasts as long as 1t has this winter
in the National Capital But for the pub
licIty given the events on the Basin by
The Herald, l am sure that not nearly
so many persons would have been ap-
prlsed of the condition Of the ice and
would have availed themselves of the
opportunity of skating"
