BUILT FROM HIS OWN PLANS.

At the late date of 1927 wish expressed BY
George Washington in his will was obeyed. He
had called attention to his selection of spot for
a new tomb for himself and family and those of
the family already buried in the old vault. The
old tomb was disadvantageously situated on the
side Of hill which was subject to landslides.
For the new vault he specified not only the spot
but also dimensions and materials According to
these, his own plans, tomb was built, and his
and Mrs. Washington's bodies were transferred
to 1t. along with the remains in the old vault Of
other members of the family The latter were
buried within the vault, out of sight while the
bodies of General and Mrs. Washington are in
stone coffns above the ground, within plain view
between a grated iron doorway.

CHOICE OF BUT TEN STATES.

New York state had no part in the election OF
the first president of the United States. For some
wears following the establishment of the federal
government the legislatures of most of the states
chose the presidential electors, the people voting
for them only indirectly, their choice being ex-
pressed by their votes for legislators A deadlock
between the senate and the assembly prevented
the selection of electors from New York state.
Rhode Island and North Carolina had not yet
ratified the Constitution, SO Washington was
elected the first time by the votes of only ten of
the 13 states
New York city was the scene of the first inaugu
ration. however. Washington took the oath on
the portico of Federal hall. the present site CT
the subtreasury, at Wall and Nassau streets. April
80, 17S9 Immediately following this ceremony he
retired within the building and delivered ad.
dress to congress, which met in Federal hall in
those days. John Adams the second president.
also addressed congress in person, but Jefferson
broke the custom which President Wilson has
vived. Jefferson stigmatized that form of address
as monarchical and put his message in writing

WORLD MORE SOBER, BUT
| NOT MORE SANE, SAYS HE
DR.. Van Dyke Declares That HUI
man Nature Is Unchanged De-
spite Prohibition.

PITTSBURGH. Pa. November 13.-
Highway robberies, race riots and
murders seem to be increasing in
spite of prohibition" said DR.. Henry
Van Dyke, former American minister
to the Netherlands. in a recent address
here before the Worlds Christian Citi-
| zenship Conference.
1.-The world may be more SOBER" he
said, but it certainly Is not more
sane. On the contrary. it seems as if
the pressure of human passion and
impulse has become more intense,
while the restraint of reason and con-
| science has relaxed. What else could
you expect from a world which does
not go to church and whose chief in
tellectual influence is the moving pic
ture show?"
DR.. Van Dyke declared stand pat"
world was impossible. The world. he
said. was not without hope or effort
for Improvement. Human nature had
not changed and "selfishness. ignor-
ance and violence" were the ancient
enemies against which civilization
must ever contend. The church
| should not take sides with either
capital or labor, but with humanity
and Christ"
