stairways OF bronze lead to the
memento rooms which are placed at
either end oflthe classic rectanglc, in
the center of which stands the statue
of Lincoln.
Far above the statue, and blending
tremendously with Guerin's mural
paintings, are six bronze beams.
These beams traverse the l44-foot
ceiling end to end, dividing space
with strips of sombre marble. Tho
marble is held in place by network
of rectangular Intermediates, also OF
bronze.
An idea of the magnificcnce of this
our newest national shrine OF honor,
NAV be obtained when the size OF
these ceiling beams is considered.
More than IS tons of bronze was used
in molding them. They measure .
feet 2Il inches in breadth, and have q
depth of 2 feet. They present an
exposed surface of approximately
$500 square feet.

AUTHOR IS OPPOSED
 TO BOOK CENSORSHIP

NEW YORK, Oct g. - No man should set himself up to judge what others should or should not read, in the opinion of Sir Gilbert Parker, whose Right of Way and "The Weavers" were among the literary productions of the age.
 Sir Gilbert has just arrived in New York from abroad. He denounced the censorship of books in no uncertain language, declaring that the idea is absolutely absurd"
 "Such a censorship would be an at tempt to impose the temperamental and intellectual limitations of the cen sor upon the general public" the emi- nent English author said.
 ''Let the public decide whether a book is moral or immoral. The laws of the United States cover the ques- tion of obscenity. Enforcement of the status is sufficient safeguard for the reading public"
 Writers generally, with Sir Gilbert Parker, have been emphatic in their protest against any censorship of lit erature.

AMERICAN FLAG
 BORNE FOR LUCK
 BY GREEK TROOPS

CHICAGO, Oct. 9. An Am ericar flag was carried beside the Greek col ors in every Greek division which took the field against the Turks, ac cording to Alonzo Wilson, national director of the Near East Relief, who has returned from a tour of Asia Minor which included Smyrna.
 q learned this from several prom inent Creeks" said MT. Wilson. "The troops carried the American colors for luck, and they had extremely bad luck Nevertheless, their choice of a talisman indicated the mems respect for America and it's Republican form of government.
 ""The soldiers leaning toward a re publican form of government charac terizes the majority of the Greek rank and file, and with it went discontent which weakened Greek morale. Pov erty and the low rate of exchange con tributed to the discontent. The with drawal of 50,0OO troops from around Smyrna to Thrace where I saw many of them, gave the Turks their oppor tunity
 "Tnfidel Smyrna is the Moslem's name for the city, because two thirds of it's population are Christians ol Jews. The church at Smyrna is the only survivor of the seven churches of Asia addressed in the book of Rev elation. When I saw Smyrna last summer it was a beautiful city of 800, 900 inhabitants, exclusive of 30000C refugees. It has been the principa trading port of the Levant. A short time ago nobody anticipated the dis aster.
 "Constantinople and several large cities of Indian are threatened by Mos lem riots which may flame into an ex tensive holy war The only thing which will save the European quar ter of Constantinople from a fate llke Smvrna's will be the control of tha city by the Allies.
 Many of the 25,o0O girls who were reported kidnapped at Smyrna were college-trained and as beautiful a' American girls. Before they were cap tured the Near East Relief rescue 125,OOO Christian girls throughout Turkey"

HENRY FORD WEALTHIEST
 MAN IN ALL THE WORLD

NEW YORK, Oct. 10. - The Wall Street Journal is authority for the statement that Henry Ford is now the richest man in the world, his wealth exceeding that of John D. Rockefeller,
 The financial paper estimates the profits of the Ford corporation, the stock of which is now closely held by Henry Ford, his son, Edsel, and one or two other stockholders, for the pres ent year as $125OO0,OOO before paying income taxes and about $110,000, ,OOO after paying income taxes.
 On the basis of these earnings, The Wall Street Journal says, the Ford Motor Car Company could be capital ized for $2,OOO,0OOOO0, and pay per cent dividends on that amount of stock.
 This Is far in excess of any estimate of the wealth attributed to John D. Rockefeller and his son, which has never in the widest gueses been esti mated in excess of $1,0oO. 100000.

LITTLE GIRLS DECIDE
 NOT TO BE MOVIE STARS

NEW YORK, Oct. 9. Two little country girls from somewhere in Con- necticut appeared near Broadway and Forty-second street the other day. They were the pictures of health.
 Admiration they had, as they peeped into cafe windows, for the fashionably attired ladies supping iced drinks and whiting perfumed cigarettes.
 They wanted to see Pearl White and get into the movies.
 A policeman took them to a sta tion house. There the pretty country lasses heard two stories.
 The first was of young woman whose metropolitan mother loved her no more and whose fiance had deserted her. She threw herself in front of a subway train and was sorry when res cued.
 The other was of girl who ended her life because year in the city with the attendant cheap, hastily eaten food, robbed her of health.
 Guess we'll go home," Mary Sot nick, thirteen, and Laura Dion, eleven sobbed.

ALLIED VETERANS BIND TIES CLOSER
 IN ANNUAL MEET

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. g. - Closer ties between World War fighters of allied nations are expected to be formed during the third international convention of the Federation Interna- tionale des Anciens Combattants, or the lnterallied Veterans Federation, to be held in New Orleans this week, just before the American Legion na- tional convention.
 The Federation had it's inception in November 1920, when representatives of the large veterans societies of the allied nations met in Paris. Author ized delegates from the United States, France, the British Empire, Italy, Bel gium, Czecho- -Slovakia, Rumania and Serbia (Now Jugo-Slavia) attended. The present constitution was drawn up and adopted for the purpose of maintaining apart from political ten dencies the bonds of fraternal com radeship forged between allied com batants on the battlefields."
 Charles Bertrand, member of the French chamber of deputies, was elect. cd president at the first convention; Cabot Ward, of the American Legion, was named first vice-president. One delegate from each of the nations was chosen as a member of the executive committee.
 Visits by President Bertrand to Eng land, Czecho-Slavia, Rumania and the United States during the first year of the Federation's existence resulted in q closer utilization of the veterans associations of these countries. Close contact also was maintained with the Belgian and Italian societies.
 Under the leadership of the Ameri- can delegation at the second interna' tional convention the Federation pledged itself to strengthen the en- tento cordiale between allied nations by making the government understand that the veterans ignore the difficul, ties and misunderstanding of politics and to remain closely faithful to the friendship sealed before the common danger upon the field of battle.'
 To complete the transition Of the Federation into recognized organ ization in which the American Legion would be an active and leading mem Der, the third international convention will meet in conjunction with the fourth annual Legion convention Al the close of these sessions Fedora tion officials expect an alliance which will not only perpetuate fine sense of comradeship, but will go far 1n insisting upon justice in international relations and permanent world peace

WHEAT HARD HIT
 BY DRY SUMMER

Only 75 per cent of the 1O-year average of wheat crop will be the share of the Washington farmer this year, according to E. F. Gaines of the farm crops department of the State College of Washington He said re- gently:
 "The weather has certainly been against the wheat farmer of Washing ton this year. An unusually severe winter killed much of the winter wheat. A cold, wet spring, followed suddenly by a hot, dry summer put the prospects for spring wheat even lower than those for winter wheat.
 Texas is the only state in the union, according to the Federal crop report of July 15, that is worse off compar- atively than Washington. The pros poets in the spring wheat belt of the Great Plains are good. The winter wheat through Kansas is fair, and all wheat east of the Mississippi is re- ported good The California crop is excellent
 Ut is estimated that the United States as a whole produced 1S,000,OO0 bushels more wheat than the average for the past five years. This will tend to lower the price, which will which will react still more against the react still more against the wheat producer of Washington"
