The Sword. Blades Ciashed, Erskine
Whipping Back and Forth in a Way
to Make q Swordsran Groan.

The sun was close to the uneven
sweep Of the wilderness. Through Its
slantng rays the river poured like a
food of gold. The negroes were on
the way singing from the fields. Cries,
chatting. and the musical clanking Of
trace-chalns came from the barnyard.
Hungry cattle were mooing and full
uddered mothers were mooing answers
to bawling calves. A peacock screamed
from a distant tree and sailed forth,
full-spread-a great cleaning winged
Jewel Of the air. In crises the nerves
tighten like violin strings. the memory

the late revelation, hut the father was
shocked that his child was no longer
a child. Erskine remembered the girl
as she waited for Grey's coming at the
sundlal, her face as she walked with
him up the path. For moment the
two boys stood In moody silence.
Harry took the rapiers in and put

word OF apology. went to his room,

porch alone.

saw the girl futter like white moth
past the box-hedge and down the
path. A moment later he saw the tall
form OF Colonel Dale follow her-and
both passed from sight. On the thick
turf the colonel's feet too were noise
less. and when Barbara stopped at
the sundlal he too paused. She was
unhappy, and the cOlonel's heart ached
sorely. for any unhappiness of hers al
ways trebled his own.

Washington Memorial Started.
Ground has been broken for the
George Washington Masonic National
memorial. which Is to be erected
on hill overlooking the old town
Of Alexandria, seven miles below
the national capital. The corner
stone of the memorial building Is to
be laid in October. Members Of the
Masonic order from all parts Of the

will participate In the exercises. This

the George Washington Masonic Ma
tiOnal Memorial association at Alex
andria believes that the entire amount
Is within sight.
The movement which eliminated In

mortal was started some twelve years
ago by the Alexandria lodge No. %,
F. and A. NJ. which was lodge No. 80
In Washington's tire. The Masonic
order throughout the United States
took a keen interest In the enterprise
from the outset and within a short
time the national association under
whose auspices the memorial Is to be
built was formed Contributions to the
fund have literally poured in during
the last two or three years.
To Stand on Arlington Heights.
The memorial will stand on a hill
on the northwestern outskirts OF Alex
andria and will command view Of a
large section OF territory which
George Washington frequently trav.
ersed in passing back and forth be-
tween his home at Mt Vernon and the
old city of Georgetown and the City
of Washington, which he founded The
hill on which the memorial will stand
is known as Arlington Ridge. II Is
continuation of a ridge on which Ar
lington cemetery rests.
The national association has pur-
chased about fifteen acres of ground
surrounding the crest of the hill and
only a few days ago contract for the
laying out and Identification of the
grounds was awarded. The memorial
building itself will he approached by
broad walks and stone steps ascending
through seven successive terraces.
The building will he 100 feet In width
by go feet I'm depth. These dlmen'
slons do not include the steps ter
races and approaches which II will
surmount. The memorial will be 200
feet high. In the center Of the build.
ing there will be an atrium. 20 by 100

an Imposing statue Of Washington. II

The memorial hall viii be flanked by
Ionic columns 20 feet wide and sur.
rounding the hall will be a number OF

Rome, March '8.-The italian nm
istries of war, navy and aeronautics
is expected soon to launch definite
program that will have for object the
making Of Italy one OF the big centers
of international aviation :; 80
Despite the almost unrivaled prog
ress which Italian aviation, naval, ma
rine as well as commercial has made,
Italy has only figured,in International
aviation by competing in events hela
in other countries. Hereafter, Italy
intends to bring international AVA
ton onto her own, homegrounds
where besides competing with, mere
individual machines she will have an
opportunity Of showing her full ac-
complishments, development n d
equipment in the matter Of aviation:
ID. As the first steps towards this end
Italy has Just .inauguiated two an
nuat International cup races, which
will be flown for the first time, at
least, on home grounds and home wa
tiers. While they will pro baby lie
flown in the future in the countries
of the cup winners, Italy hopes not
only to keep the cups at home
good portion of the time but to bring
other international aviation meets to
Italy by means OF winning the cup
or other prize. =" ,
