WORTHY OF HONOR
Washington National Monument
Association Has Deserved
Well of Country.

an EVERY birthday of George Wash
- ington for the last II years q
meeting of a small but distinguished
body has bee1i- held in the city OF
Washington. This body is the Wash
.ngton National Monument society
the organization which brought about
the construction of the giant shaft
which dominates the landscape in the
federal city.
While the war department has the
care and custody of the Washington
monument, this society has a quasi
public status, exercises a paterna'
watchfulness over it, possesses the
right to send mail under frank and
stands ready to resist any plan or pro
posal which seeks to change in any
way the monument or its surround
tngs.
John Marshall, that great jurist, was
the society's first president. Since
then, beginning with Jackson, the
presidents of the United States have
been ex-oflcio presidents Of the SO
ciety.
The organization of the monument
society in 1888 was undertaken BY
representative citizens of Washington
after long experience had caused then
to despair of congress acting in the

asking the donation of site. Not un
til 1S4S did congress respond with q
joint resolution authorizing the society
to erect the monument on such land
as the president OF the United States
and the society might select.
The 80 acres of reservation No. g
were chosen and decided to the society
by deed signed by President Polk.
July 4. 1S4S, in the presence Of some
fifteen or twenty thousand persons. the
cornerstone was laid in the northwest
angle Of the foundation with impress
sive ceremonies.
Actively the society continued tc
raise money throughout the country
and to rear the monument. Six years
after the cornerstone had been laid
the shaft had reached height of 1853
feet, at an expense, all paid by PR
vate subscription, of some $4,000.
At last, in 1875, congress voted $780,,
900 for the building of the monument
to be appropriated at the rate of $50,
GOO a year. The law provided for the
work to be carried On by commits
sion, in which the society was repre-
sented
The shaft itself is 500 feet high, on
top of which is set the pyramidion 81
feet SIS inches in vertical height. The
base is 80 feet l Il inches square, and
the top of the shaft below the pyra
midion is 81 feet So inches square
At two and one-half times it's height
the shaft would come to point.
The capstone weighs $500 pounds
and is crowned by a small pyramid Of
pure aluminium Sc inches at it's base
and S.9 inches high, weighing 1ot
ounces.
No mention of the monument would
be complete without reference to the
splendid engineers who had charge OF
completing the work. These include
Gen. Thomas Lincoln Cosey. chief en-
gineer and architect; Gen. George W,
Davis; Gen. John NJ. Wilson, engineer
in the final stages and now retired
a resident OF Washington, and Der
nard r. Green, civil engineer, assistant,
to General Casey.

To Clean Glass Oven Doors.

Glass front ovens are frequently
complained of as not sufficiently light
and clear to be satisfactory. Such
glass doors will do their duty if the
housekeeper does hers, for the glass
needs frequent thorough washing on
both sides with some fine securing
powder or securing soap; ordinary
soap and water will not accomplish the
results desired, as in baking the fumes
and steam generated sometimes make
a coating difficult to remove. In addi.
ton a small searchlight may be used
where stoves are not well placed for
light.
