DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
 NOW IN MOVIES"
Original Constitution Has Also Been Photographed
 For Screen

Washington, D. C., Jan. N.---F'or the first time in years the Constitution of the United States and the parchment bearing the Declaration of Independ- ence were brought out of their steel home in the State Department last week and shown the light of day. These two sacred documents of the Republic are seldom subjected to the fading influence of sunlight and are
 only brought forth for most import
 ant purposes. This time Secretary of State Robert Lansing brought them out
 to exhibit them before the motion
 picture camera, in the hope that the
 message of honest liberty they hold might be flashed before the country as an antidote for ultra-radical ffFeed- ism.''
 Protected from the air by hermet- ica1ly sealed glass plates both the sa,- cred instruments guaranteeing the safety ant1 structure of American Lib erty were with drawn from their steel safe by the Secretary and held for a few moments under the lenses of the camera The document were ex- amined minutely before being return ed to their resting place to determine effect that sunlight and time thus far had on these original copies. About seventy years ago the Declaration of Independence was subjected to a let i ter press copying process and in con sequence Is much more faded than the ] Constitution. Out of the blurred sig natures that of John Hancock stands ]. out boldly still a proclamation to the world of the principle of human fiber ! ty he stood for before all others. l MT. Lansing addressed the group as the cameras flicked over the docu- nnertts, explaining the purpose of the State Department to have the 110,- 900 900 citizens from Maine to Cali for11ia view once again these original birth papers, of the Republic as a reminder of the institutions under
 which and for which we live in a uni ted country.
 -Four great Documents" MT. Lan- sing said, mark the progress of the struggle of a thousand years to attain the civil liberty which has found ex- pression in American citizenship Magma Charta in 1215, the English Bill of Rights in 1889, the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and the Con- stitution of the United States of Amer ica in ITS. Epoch making as each o1 these documents is,, it is the Consti- tuition which represents the highest expression of the sovereignty of .

New Structure Almost Exact Copy of First Temple In Jerusalem-Total Cost When Completed to
 Be About $75,OOO

Started last March it is expected that the new First Swedish Baptist church in Colorado avenue near Fairfield will be completed toward the last of next month, 1t now being planned to hold dedication services about Easter time. The building alone will cost in the neighiborhood of seo.00o when com

The building is modelled after the first temple in Jerusalem and com fbtnes both Hebrew and Grecten ar chitecture. With the exception of a slightly higher front elevation the fbutDding Is as near a copy of the edi- fee in Jerusalem as 1t is possible to
 build.
 Built of a granite and marble com position the structure presents an irn- posing front on Colorado avenue, this effect being further heightened by the two large Dortc columns rising on either side of the entrance. The church
 is situated on 8 slight enbanknent

MINERVA AND THE ATREZNIAN
 BEAUTY

Minerva was so famous a, woman that she stands forever in the niche of Time as the Goddess of Wisdom. She was said to have been born fall ing fully armed from the brain of love, with it's black locks, all heaven and earth shaking, the sea tossing in great pillows, and the light of day eXtinguished.
 As Pallas Athens she was the tute- lary deity of Athens, Greece. The Parthenon was dedicated to her, the Parthenos or Virgin. She carried the aegis or strom-shield of her father love. Every three years a festival was held in her honor called the 'sPanathenaeax," in which a robe called the pepIes embroidered by the most beautiful virgins of Athens was borne in procession to her shrine Now, here comes in the Atheniar1 Subway" This purple robe was spread like a sail on the mast of q ship, and the ship moved along ba hidden underground machinery So after all the Twentieth Century sub way is not modern inventton!
