Oscar T. Crosby Says Temple May
Mark Turning Point in History.
Renewed Efforts Urged.

Those interested in the erection of
the proposed George Washington me-
mortal building on the site of the old
Pennsylvania railroad station at 9Th
street and Pennsylvania avenue, met
yesterday afternoon at the home of
Mrs Henry F. Dimock, 1901 18th street
northwest. Mrs. Dimock is president
of the George Washington Memorial
Association. Pleas for renewed effort
on the proposition were made by Mrs.
Dimock. David Jayne Hill, DIR. Charles
D. Walcott and Oscar T. Crosby
The temple, when built" declared
Mr.. Crosby, shall perhaps mark the
turning point in history. 1t may be
the material beginning of something
better than we now have among ma
tons. The various and multiform con-
vocations of peace which would be held
in the great national auditorium winch
would be the feature of the first moor
of the building would take the place OF

Would Typify Qualities.
The Washington monument, MIR. Cros-
by declared. while typifying many Oh
the great qualities of Washington TO
the generations, does not suggest the
civil life of the father of the republic
who was farmer. statesman, cltlZeh'
and these qualities the proposed me
mortal would typify.
The sum of S265,000 has been brought
together by Mrs. Dimock toward the
project it was learned at the meet
ing At the conclusion Dr.. DAVID
JAYNE Hill, who presided, was empoW
cred by a resolution offered by Charies
]. Bell, and adopted by those present
to call meeting of men to organize
national body to carry forward the
work of the George Washington Me-
mortal Association, and to organize
state bodies, all to work together 10
complete the work begun. The reso-
luton also contained high praise OF
Mrs. Dimock and her efforts toward
the realization of the memorial bullo-
ing, and declared that her work Is one
that should appeal 10 all AMERICANS.
The proposed building would be a
great thing for the city of Washington,
DIR. Hill said, and would be "a great m
terpretation of the life and motives Oh
Americans.
DR.. Walcott pointed out the practlcai
need and uses of such a great nall Tor

many of the largest and finest conNen-
tions now being held in the tinted
States are unable to come to Washlhs-

NEW RECORD MADE
|NRED CROSS SEALS
Christmas Sale Amounts to
100000, Bringing $780,.
600 Into Treasury.
$3,295, 900 RECEIVED
IN THE LAST NINE YEARS
Large Increase Believed to Be Due
to the Systematic Instruc.
ton of the People.

The sale of Red Cross Christmas seals
this year easily broke all records. The
highest previous record was for 1914,
when 100000 were sold. This year
the record climbed another $4,000. 900,
with total OF sO.OOo,OOo seals sold.
This means that approximately $780,
ooo was thus raised in the last season
to aid in combating tuberculosis. and
that grand total of s3.295.OO0 has
been raised through the sale of Red
Cross Christmas seals in the nine years
that have interviewed since the expert
ment was tried in Delaware in 1907,
since spreading nation wide.
These interesting figures are given
by c. NJ. De Forest, principal field rep
resentative of the National Association
for the Society and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis.

Washington people do not realize the
importance of the memorial. She eX-

the work done up to the present time.

Only 81, 500 in First Year.

In the first year but $500 worth OF
stamps were produced and disposed Of
in Delaware. In 1908 the plan was ma
tionalized, and the increase in returns
has been steadily improving ever since.
In 1908, s13S.244 was raised in 1909,
s237,153; in 1910, s3O4,320; in 1911, $780,
656; IN 1872, S3S4,999; in 1913, s436.S14:
in 1914. s550.00O.
The great jump in seal sales during
the last two seasons are the more in
teresting." Mr.. De Forest observes,
when il Is borne in mind that in the
past year and half. which embraces
the two last Red Cross seal selling sea-
sons. the generosity of the American
public has been heavily drawn upon in
the relief of the millions of European
war sufferers. And yet we have In
1918. eighteen months after the war
began. an increase of perhaps so per
cent in the annual receipts in behalf
or the tuberculosis sufferers"
Mr.. De Forest believes the very great
increase in sales this year is due to
the fact that systematic instruction has
been given agents everywhere in the
best method of selling stamps.
Computation of Returns.
He goes into details of how he com.
putes the returns. as follows:
AS a basis for forecasting the total
sale of seals in the 1915 campaign, we
have the following preliminary re-
turns: The agencies for Brooklyn and
Queens, for Manhattan and Bronx, and
for tine rest of New York state r, port
an increase of 100000 seals over last
year. The total, as indicated by re-
turns to date, will be over 100000
for New YORK state. The report from
Missouri is that the total sale for the
state will probably show an increase of
1865 per cent o-er last year., making q
total of over 100000 seals. The in
crease in the sale in Iowa, as predicted
by the sales manager, will be ESQ per
cent, reaching a total of 100000.
The total increase from these three
states. New York, Iowa and Missouri,
is, accordingly. 100000. 1 estimate
that the total increase in the seal sale
for the United States will be $4,000. 900
seals, or three anu one-l.all ....~. 49,
increase in these three states. While
the increase will not be so notable i'll a
great majority of the remaining forty
five states. We have reason to look for
a large increase in Ohio, Illinois and
Minnesota, where the aggregate sales
are large figures, and in Michigan and
Florida. Virginia reports an increase
of 100 per cent. We know of no state
where there will be a decrease. My
total estimate on a basis of an increase
The figure may be high and IL may be
low. 1 estimate an increase of from
40 to so per cent over the 55,000,000
sold last year
