The beautiful memorial to Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, has been turned over to the Christian Science board of directors by Elbert s. Barlow of New York city who held the contract for its construction.
 The memorial, which Is at Mt. Au- burn cemetery, Cambridge, Mass, has required over a year and half to complete. The fund for its construc- tion amounting to over $15O,OOO, was first announced by the directors in June, 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 it's grade has rendered possible a more picturesque and interesting treat ment architecturally than would be possible on a perfect level lot. The plot, which is approximately so feet square, slopes gradually from the level of the roadway to the lake with a drop of about ten feet. The me- morial consists of a circular open colonnadc of eight columns, resting upon a stylobate of three steps, sur rounded on the front by a circular platform slightly above the natural
New Britain herald., 1917-04-09

grade, from which platform a double flight of steps leads to a lower plat form at the lakes edge. The scheme has no prototype and is merely screen of columns open to the sky, inclosing a flower-grown circle.
 The material used for the memor- ial is Bethel white granite, the in scription 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 os the size of the reproduction is only ir- dicated, is intirely floral in form and free in treatment, the wild rose and the morning-glory being used as the main motives. It is interesting arch-
 itecturally to note that while 1t is extremely free in treatment and not at all conventional it 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 themselves are fifteen feet in height and are sim liar in general character to those in the Clepsydra of Andronicus of Cy-
 rrhus. The large pylons were ex- hibited at the American Institute of Architecture in New York short time ago and experts pronounced them the finest pieces of carved granite ever executed.
 The architect is Egerton Swart- wont of New York city who designed the new George Washington memor- ial, the new Missouri state capitol and the new Federal building in Denver.

With the Fingers! Says Corns Lift Out
 Without Any Pain

Sore corns hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn can shortly be lifted out with the fingers if you will apply directly upon the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
 It is claimed that at small cost one can get a quarter of an ounce of free zone at any drug store, which is sufh- cient to rid ones feet of every corn or callous without pain or soreness of the danger of infection.
 This new drug is an ether com pound. and while sticky, dries the moment it is applied and does not inflame or even irritate the surround ing tissue. -

WILSON'S SPEECH

Press Decries Presidents Utter-
 anCeS- Government Plans Reform

Copenhagen, via London, April g. The declaration by the United States that a state of war exists with Ger many and the question of interna! liberal reforms in Germany have ac- President Wilson's message. The German government, though, of course. denying the validity of Pres ident Wilson's statement, has hast ened to counteract their probable ef- feet.
 The appearance of a semi-official declaration in the "Norddeuteche Aligemeine Zeitung'' on the German emperor's interest in reforms, testi- fies to the fear that President Will sons arguments will get home to the socialist and liberal forces, who sev- eral weeks ago were saying much the same thing as the president and were demanding that the emperor identify himself with the imperial chancellor's promises of reform.
 German newspapers of yesterdays date feature the announcement as the leading news of the day along with reports of the debate in the American congress. Many of the newspapers follow the "Allgemeine Zeitung's" lead with articles telling of the frmness of the bonds uniting the Hehenzollern and other German dynasties with the German people.

 The proposal for constitutional re- form probably will be taken up inn mediately after the Easter recess of the Reichstag.

It will undoubtedly embody a proposal to put the house on record as demanding the reform of the Prussian Diet and a change in the district representatives in the Reich stag, taking into consideration the growth and the shifting of the em- pire's population since 1871.

 The chairman of the constitutional reform committee of the Reichstas probably will be socialist.

Most of them abstain from comment on American affairs, though their col umns are filled with accounts of the debate ill congress. Many find it not even worth their while to print the text of President Wilson's mes sage as supplied by tho Wolff Blu reau.
