CONGRESS TO Be ASKED
.T0MARk A|S1OR|csPOTS
Temporary Tablets Probably viii
Be Placed for Benefit Of
Strangers.

A movement to have Congress ap-
propriate funds to place permanent
markers on historic points in the Dis
trict probably will grow out Of the
plan now under way to mark these
places temporarily for the benefit of
the thousands of strangers the war
has brought to the city.
A meeting of the full committee on
marking points of historic interest
will be held early this week, at which
time it is expected definite steps will
be- taken to put up for the period OF
the war 200 or more temporary mark
ers, which were bought by the COM
mittee for use :at tnaugurations. A
subcomnnittee met Friday night at the
Office of the chairman. William P. Vsn
WickIe, 12l7 F. street, discussed the
the full committee together.
While the temporary markers. which
the committee already possesses. are
neat and attractive, they would not
endure weather. 1t has long been the
desire Of the committee to have the
landmarks Of the National Capital
The Fine Arts Commission already has
approved a design for the permanent
markers, which, II Congress appro-
pirates the money. would be OF bronze
and would bear the seal OF the United
States. It rs probable that Mr.. Van
Wickle and other members Of his
committee will confer with members
Of the Joint committee on the library
Of the House and Senate, through
which, 1t is believed, such q matter
would>have to be handled.
