Amphitheatre or Marble


The new memorial amphitheatre at
Arlington. the building of which was
undertaken at the instance of the G.. A.
X, Is now nearly finished, and on
Memorial Day will be the scene of
impressive exercises. At least $4,000
people will be assembled there on that
occasion. and addresses will be de-
livered by the most distinguished ora
tors of the nation.
This amphitheatre, erected in honor
Of our soldier dead, was designed
especially to provide meeting place
for annual services. 1t is of very inn
pressive architecture, open to the sky
enclosed with a colonnade of pure
white marble, and providing seats for
5000. The seats are marble benches
curved and arranged concentrically
so that the audience may face a ros-
trum occupied by speakers. The whole
affair Is cassically Greek.
Within the last few years has been
adopted and popularized very beau
tiful custom in connection with
Memorial Day. 1t expresses a charm
ing sentiment, and possesses pic
turesqueness which has It's appeal fol-
everybody. This refers to the setting
afioat of flowerboats in memory OF
our fighting mep who have been
drowned under such circumstances as
to render the recovery of their bodies
impossible.
The earliest records of such cere-
mony Is found at Gloucester. Mass.

where since long years ago the wives
and families Of drowned fishermen
have been accustomed annually 10
scatter flowers on the sea which Is the
grave of their loved ones.
The adoption of this idea was first
suggested and promoted by the Wom-
ems Relief Corps. of the G A. X. 1t
is now carried out on quite an ex-
tensiye scale. Thus, for example, on
Memorial Day at Los Angeles tug
laden with great quantities Of lovely
blossoms will go down the bay and
throw them upon the waves. And at
various points in other parts of this
country boats specially constructed for
the purpose and filed with flowers will
be liberated on rivers and allowed to
float away. bearing their tribute to the
drowned.
Down The StOricd Potomac
In the city of Washington crowds
will assemble on the long railroad
bridge that crosses the Potomac to
watch, on Memorial Day the passage
of flower boats started down the
stream. The boats. gay with flags. will
be towed out into the middle of the
river to catch the current. and then
set at liberty for their voyage down
toward the sea. Each one will be pro-
vided with a little placard requesting
anybody who may find it stranded to
start the boat off again on Its seaward
trip.
For the brave fellows to whom this
floral tribute is offered there are no
gravestones in any national cemetery.
TO be adorned on each 3Oth day of
May with wreaths and flags. Theirs is

was that of Chickamauga. Up to that
time the Gettysburg field was a pri-
Vate enterprise under control of an
association representing various States
which had had troops engaged in the
hight. Uncle Sam took it over, and
afterwards the fields of Shiloh and
Vicksburg were similarly marked out
and set aside as historic and sacred
ground.
In the Vicksburg Park the Federal
Government owns 1850 acres. Illinois
had the greatest number OF regiments
engaged in the siege, and Is represent
ed there today by more monuments
than any other State. The field is on
a bluff $50 feet above the river. and its
most striking feature Is a ridge on
which the Confederate works and bat
teries were situated. Deep ravines
and spurs of ridges running out from
the hills make the ground exceedingly
rugged. Some Of the caves which the
Confederates dug for concealment still
remain and are carefully preserved.
The Antietam battlefield Is covered
by farms. only the roads being open.
1t is gently rolling country, with a
few deep ravines. and through 1t runs
the ancient Hagerstown turnpike,
along which tablets are set up to in
dicate movements of troops. The gov
ernment owns the roads. and all the
States that were represented by troops
In the great fight have erected monu-
ments there, Ohio having the largest
number.
The Field or shiloh
The battlefield of Shiloh is more
heavily wooded than any of the other
| parks. Situated about 100 feet above
the Tennessee River, which runs along
its border. 1t is a rolling country. with
farm clearings here and there. The
Government owns thirty miles OF fine
roads, and 5000 acres of territory.
Among the many States that have set
up monuments there. Indiana, Ohio,
Illinois and Pennsylvania are most
conspicuously represented.
The monuments erected by the
States in these parks are specially de-

Do you remember when Dinty Moore
staged few little party dances for the
Legion men and friends, well, just lis.
ten to this, Buddie, if you ever got
to first base then on a good time
there is party coming that's going to
be home-run affair.

makes your No. los track, You will
have to dance every dance or be the

there strong and with eats it is under

iliary you can't help but think Of real
honest-to-goodness eats. And say,
the ladies that haven't Joined the Aux
iliary surely have been missing some
rare good times and with a regular
bunch, too, when it comes to putting o.,
real party they can't be- beat. If
you missed the party last Friday night
you can bet your last dollar you
missed several pecks of fun and salad
Oh boy! 1t was fruit salad but con-
cocted with just the right amount of
everything even to the whipped cream
and marshmallow, delicious nut bread
sandwiches and java that made you
want to stay all night and talk between

When it comes to entertainment
Mrs. Georgeson sure has the right
kind in store to keep the crowd busy
and happy. Almost forgot the circus
that was there. Ben Grosscup took
first prize as an elephant. He had
a trunk and suitcase which served
very well even if they were made Of
paper. AS hula girl DR.. Owens was

his lack of the fine points Of hula,

shake 'em up third class.

IF CHECKED or cracked,
i new paint is needed, and it
will be cheaper to paint now
for deterioration costs more than
good paint.
A well painted house brings
several hundred dollars more on
sale and more in rent. Keep it
painted and it stays new for
years.
The best paint spreads more
easily - saves labor cost. It
covers more square yards - you
buy more gallons Of cheap paint.
The best paint then protects
the house, if properly applied,
from five to ten years longer
There IS no question as to
which costs less. Don't allow
surfaces to rot. It costs less to
paint them.
The best paints are scientific
