to a lower platorm at the lakes edge. The scheme has no prototype and Is merely a screen of columns open to the sky, inclosIng a fower-grown circle.
 The material used for the memorial Is Bethel white granite, the inscrip- ton in the frieze and upon the top of the pylons being of white bronze set deep Into the stone work. The detail, which on account of the size of the reproduction Is only indicated Is en- tireIy floral in form and free in treat ment. the wild rose and the morning glory being used as the main motives. It is interesting architeCturally to note that. while 1t Is extremely free in treat ment and not at all conventional, 1t Is generally very classic in feeling. The extreme width of the memorial is about fifty feet, and the COlOnnade Is eighteen feet in diameter. The columns them selves are fifteen feet in height and are similar in general character to those in the Clepsydra of Andronicus of Cyr- rhus. The large pylons were exhibit ed at the American Institute of Archi- lecture in New York short time ago and experts pronounced them the finest pieces of carved granite ever executed.
 The architect is Egerton Swartwout of New York City, who designed the new George Washington memorial, the new Missouri state capitol and the new Federal building in Denver.

The beautiful memorial to May Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, has been turned over to The Christian Science Board Of Directors by Ebert S. Bar low of New York City, who held the contract for its construction.

The fund for It's construction, amounting to over $l5O,OOO, was first announced by the directors inJune. 1911, and was some time ago fully subscribed, These contributions have been made as expressions of sentiment by Christian Scientists throughout the world.
 The site on which the memorial Is located Is not only one of great nat ural beauty. but on account of its grade has rendered possible q more picturesque and interesting treatment architecturaly than would be possible on a perfect level lot. The plot, which Is approximately eighty feet square, slopes gradually from the level of the roadway to the lake with a drop of about ten feet The memorial con- sists of a circular open COlonnade of eight columns. resting upon a stylo' bate of three steps, surrounded on the front by a circular platform slightly above the natural grade, from which Diatform a double flight of steps leads

WIDOW DISSATISFIED.
Goes to Supreme Court on Appeal from
Industrial Accident Board.

An appeal from the decision of the in
dustrial accident board to supreme court
in rhe case of Mrs. Vina Halsall, apt,
of Barre, VS.. Marr & Gordon and the
Royal Indemnity Co., carrier, was filed
to day with County Clerk L. G. Moody,
it being one of the very few cases ap-
pealed from the board since its creation
two years ago.
John Richard Halsall died at Barre,
Jan. 5. 1916, from injuries said to have
been received Sept. l5, 1915, being at
that time employed as Jumper by the
Marr & Gordon company, According to
evidence submitted at a hearing by
the board Halsall's death was due to
traumatic pleurisy which developed from
blow in the chest according to the opin-
ion of majority of the board
All the board agreed. however, that
the case was barren of evidence to show
when or where such injury was received,
the plaintiff alleging that Halsall re-
ceived the blow from jack while work
ing at the Mari & Gordon plant. The
plaintiff endeavored to introduce evidence
to the effect namely, declarations made
by the deceased before his demise but
the board refused to consider the evil
dence on objections and exceptions by
the defendants, and as result refused
to allow the widow compensation.
The case viii probably be argued at
the term of supreme court.

"BANNACHS NIGHT"
DULY OBSERVED
Glenugie Club and Ladies Made Merry at
Feast and Dance Saturday
Evening

Glenugians representing nearly the full
to round ont hundred, paid homage to
an old time Scottish festival in Clan
Gordon hall Saturday evening, when
bannachs night was observed with feast
ing and dancing. Renewed fealty to the
traditions of the clubs home district on
the banks of the Ughie was shown by
the presence of several sons of Glenugie
who have recently associated themselves
with the club. So far as the careful
canvass of the committee revealed, none
of the club members failed to obey the
stern injunction in the call to "dinna for
get to bring the hoosekeeper and kitch-
cry woman wea yee,"
Thus it followed that men and women
alike made merry over the feast of ban
nachs, dub, and treacle. Those edibles
were spread over several tables, which
offered continuous buffet while the
dance was on. Miss Lizzie Stephens was
at the piano, and many of the favorite
Scotch reels figured prominently in the
dance order. Alex Cowie and James
Forrest acted efficiently as floor manag-
ers, and through happy combination of
good music and capable management,
"bannachs" night passed off pleasantly.
The committee in charge of the festi-
val consisted of Charles Keith, the club
president, Alex. Cowie, the treasurer,
James Clubb, the secretary, Samuel Hen
1erson, James Davidson, James Forrest,
and William Still.

A SOLEMN OBLIGATION
For United States to Join Allies Against
Germany.

New York, Feb. 26.--John Grier Hib-
ben, president of Princeton university
speaking in church here last night
criticized the United States for what he
termed its lack of international con-
science in failing to join the entente al
lies against Germany and declared Amer
ica's entrance into the war was a "sol.
emn obligation" He continued in part
as follows:
why are we so brave nowf Let us
be frank. There is only one reason and
that is because we know the great Brit
ish fleet stands between us and Germany
at the present time.
81 am free to confess that America,
as a nation, has not risen to the apprecia-
tion of the obligation resting upon it.
What have we done for Yelgium2 We
have grown rich out of the misery of
that country. We have not the first
yestige of international conscience.
81 do not wish to see Germany crushed,
but / do wish that over this ambition of
a world empire which Germany has had
for the past 40 years there should be
written one word, and that word is fail.

its effects upon our own ships and people
is substantially the same as when | ad-
