Many Structures Follow
Idea Originated at Trib-
une Building
Shaped by Windows
Mute Holiday Message to
Flash Forth Saturday and
Sunday Nights

The Gross Of Light that The Trio-
une Building carried on its breast last
year at Christmas time, formed By
lighted windows, will shine down again
on Park Row this Saturday and Sunday
nights. in honor Of Easter.
In December only one building in
the entire city wore the cleaning sym
Dol Now other s-Tuctures have Joined
in the movement that The Tribune
initiated, and viii wear the Crusaders
emblem this Eastertidc.
The Cross will shine down from build
ings along Fifth Avenue. Il will CLEAN
far above the city m Madison Square.
Dwellers in New Jersey may look across
on Saturday aud sunday nights and see
the emblem Of Christianity on the ram
parts of Riverside Drive
Others May Join in Plan
Others may join on the plan in tina
next few days. All that is necessary is
70 darken all the face Of building
except a score of GIFTED windows to
spell out the Easter greeting.
At time when the nation stands on
the threshold Of unimagined things
the symbol of sacrifice. fidelity. love OF
humanity will shine above its greatest
city.
Under the supervision Of R. $. Chol-
mondeley Jones, who originated the
idea which The Tribune adopted last
year a committee has been formed to
further the scheme. It's members are
George w. Hopkins, Jesse Wineburgh,
George Ethridge. .. J. Guide, Howard
Davis, George p. Metzger. David d. Lee
and A. h. MchinnOn.
Idea Quickly Spreads
Other cities have caught the idea
born in Park Row last Christmas The
Cross Of Light will shine in Phladel-
phia from the windows of the North
American Building, both on the Broad
Street and Samson Street sides. IL is
believed that other municipalities in
the West will fall in with the scheme.
It may be that an entire land, arm
