AMERICAN SHRINE IN
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Declara-
ton OF Independence and the original
draft of the constitution of the
United States are TO be preserved to
posterity in a bronze tabernacle in
the exhibition corridor over the door
of the library of congress, if present
plans of Herbert L. Putnam, librarian,
bear fruit. The tabernacle will be
so constructed that the precious pa
pers will be preserved from the ac-
tion of light, air, dampness and, as
much as possible, time, while per-
mitting the parchments to be viewed
by the general public. The originals
have been for years in the state de-
partment, but are now in the vaults
in the national library.
e. Congress will be asked in the pres.
ent session for an appropriation suf
fieient to construct the tabernacle anC
at the same time make provision fol
other archives of the government
which in their original form are price
less from a patriotic, historic anC
educational standpoint.
