A Great Masonic Gathering.

Washington and the neighboring
city of Alexandria are at present the
scenes Of an extra ordinary assemblage
of Masonic dignitaries. The eyes Of
the three million members OF this
order, Blue Lodge Masonry" through
out the United States are focused on
the National Capital and its environs.
Several gatherings Of the utmost in
terest to the rank and file of the
craft are in progress. The Masonic
Service Association, made up Of repre-
sentatives Of all the Masonic grand
Jurisdictions Of the country, opened its
sessions Monday. This organization is
devoted to the rendering of service to
all Americans, whatever their race,
creed or religion. 1t recently moved it's
headquarters from the middle west to
Washington. a fact which is sisn!ti-
cant OF the trend of national organi-
cations to locate their central Offices at
the Capital.
Tomorrow the grand masters Of the
forty y.nine Masonic Jurisdictions of the
United States, for the first time in his
tory, will meet at Alexandria. where
each in turn will spread mortar on the
corner stone OF the mammoth memo
rial being erected there to George
Washington, the Mason. Preliminary
to this ceremony the grand masters
have met in Washington for confer
ences and for an inspection OF the
Capital. as well as for visitations and
social functions.
One Of the detectives Of the tour of
the city by the grand masters yester
day afternoon was the site Of the
projected Masonic temple on the
heights north of the city, the old Dean
estate. chosen by the local Masons
for their future home. 1t has been
suggested that one of the results OF
this visitation will be to forward a
suggestion that ultimately, perhaps
soon. may be formed governing or
administrative body to coordinate the
present forty.nine distinct jurisdic-
tons and to create for Blue Lodge
Masonry" supreme grand lodge
headquarters in Washington, 50 that
this city may become the Capital city
OF Masonry as well as of all other
commendable national organizations
and movements.

Home for Incurables.

One of our old and worthy institu-
tions is in need Of money. It is the
Washington Home for Incurables. For
nearly half century the home has
made a strong appeal to the best senti-
ments Of our people. and has been held
in high and affectionate regard. 1t

makes plain statement Of the rea-
son for the plea. and there is no doubt
that multitude of citizens will re-
spond. The old property of the home
was sold some time ago, and a better
situation in a tract of about ten acres
was provided through the generosity
o two women. A contract was lot for
a. new and freproof building with &C.
coinmodations for one hundred pa
tients, or forty more than can be &C.
commodated in the old building. The
contract price Of the new structure is

are not easily found. When found
they are hailed as rare objects. fit for
the choicest display in the most care
fully guarded places Of custody. It
does not seem probable that the finder
of such an old bit Of human hone
would go to the trouble of bringing it
TO America and depositing it in some
place on the chance Of its being later
found. to coufute the hypothesis Of
human life On the western continent.
The chances of its ever being found,
save through carefully guided sugges.
tions. which would be likely to leave
traces of purpose and intent, would
appear to be extremely remote. This
is big stretch of country. A skull
is relatively an atomic entity. The
needle in the haystack would be an
easy find compared with that Of such
deliberately placed piece OF bone.
This reaction OF doubt is character
istic Of science. 1t is, indeed. the basis
of scientific search. The researches
into the history of the earth and its
occupants are founded upon the prin-
ciple Of the man from Missouri.
Science must be shown" It must
know beyond question. 1t must be
convinced by irrefutable proof. But
what is proof" in the case of a frag-
ment of bone? Geology tells most of
the story. Certain layers Of rock, it
is now established, write the positive
records of civilizations development.
The rocks cannot lie. Controversy once
ragged upon them, but agreement has
been reached regarding their story. If
a bit Of eXtraneous matter, such as a
human bone. is found somewhere its
location tells its age. This California
skull is in the wrong place. according
to established concepts of the earth
record in this hemisphere. Hence the
battle between previously established
fundamentals and new element,
manifested in the doubts which have
arisen and have been expressed.
Science is skeptical. because hoaxes
have been perpetrated heretofore.

Ford Not q Candidate?

One of Henry Ford's secretaries, in
letter to a "Ford-for-Preside
Club relative to the presidential NOM
ticles as expressing Mr.. Ford's views
on the presidency, and then concludes:
This may be summed up as a deter
mination not to accept any nOmina
ton whatever. He feels that he will
be able to accomplish much more
through his present and projected &C.
tivities.''
Mr.. Ford himself only a few days
ago said that he is for President Cool

construed as indicating that he is not
entertaining presidential ambitions
himself. Thomas A. Edison, one of
his closest friends, has lately publicly
declared that he hoped Mr.. Ford would
not run for the nomination. as he
thought Mr.. Ford could be Of more
service to the country along other
lines Of endeavor.
Every real well wisher Of Mr. Ford
ought to feel the same way about it,
The possessor of the vast fortune
which Mr.. Ford has at command can
find better use for it. for the welfare
OF mankind. than in expending it in
politics. Mr.. Ford is gifted with un-
usual qualifications along certain lines;
he has great heart which throbs for
his fellow men. His wealth, his spe-
cialized abilities, should enable him to
be Of great use to the world.

in the letter quoted aforegoing is cor
rectly outlining Mr.. Ford's intentions.

In reference to your article of Sun

F. Miller is serving the last OF the
rural routes within the District and
that the Anacostia routes serve no
mail within the District line, L beg
to differ on this subject.
I am living at the end Of the car
line at Congress Heights. three miles
within the District, and, with ten
other. residents in the same sub
diyision, we still have to maintain
our old fashioned country mail boxes
on the north side of Nichols avenue
for the benefit of the rural mail car
rter. who deposits all mail In it he
cannot find an owner for.
II takes US a day longer to get
letter than it does in the city, where
as the regular mail carrier comes
right past where our boxes are and
delivers mail j have tried to find
out why we do not have city delivery.

minutes longer to walk through our
subdivision and deliver mail. But /
presume there must be some good
reason. I am just stating these facts

Great Britain Accepts.

Great Britain'S acceptance Of the
PREPARATIONS inquiry proposal of Secre-
sary Hughes. on the basis Of the
French limitations, puts the matter in
the way OF immediate execution. In a
short time the formal acquiescence Of
the London government will be con-
veyed to this government. and pre-
Jumably meanwhile selections will
have been effected of the American
participants in the inquiry.
AS the case stands. this inquiry is
conditioned by the United States as
merely advisory. and as not involving
the subject Of the allied debts. 1t is
conditioned by France as q phase of
the reparations commissions work.
Great Britain, as it now appears, has
made no conditions, but has accepted
those OF the proposing and acquiesc-
lng governments.

don dispatches that the London gov
ernment is induced to accept the pro
posai, thus conditioned by France, i'll

France will yield somewhat from her
inSistence upon this inquiry being
merely subordinate TO the reparations
commission. This suggests that effort
Will be made to establish the new in
aairy upon lines that may carry it
beyond the scope of the original re-
search.
Already the suggestion is thrown
out from London that an American
should be chairman Of the inquiry
hody, to give it more distinctly neu-
trai character. If Japan participates,
as ii is now proposed, there will be
strong minority representation Of dis
interested factors. But as this is to be
an economic inquiry. not political in
any sense, conducted for the purpose
cf ascertaining what Germany can
nay, and at what rate. and having
nothing whatever to do with whether
she should pay-that being presumed
and established, as Secretary Hughes
definitely states-there is no particular
merit in the neutrality Of any par
ticipating elements. The question at
issue ~ one VI JUG llIeilL DIS W ldClS.
The word Of the commission will be
merely advisory.
Whether the inquiry will take into
account the changed and changing
political conditions in Germany is TO
be determined. Doubtless this will be
an inescapable factor. Germany may
he viewed as an economic entity for
theoretical purposes, but by the time
the commission reaches a conclusion
rs to what can be paid by that coun-
Try. viewed as a whole, there may be
two, possibly three, autonomous Ger
man states. Then will arise the ques.
ton whether those separated entities
can yield the sum agreed upon, and in
what proportions the payments should
in justice and with effectiveness be
divided.

The Paleolithic Skull.

Paleontologists are now actively dis
cussing the find of a skull in Califor-
mia which, if genuine, and if in true
location, completely upsets previous
theories of the age of man on this con-
dnent. If Prof. Harrington's discovery
is authentic-ttere is no doubt, it
would seem. on the score OF his good
faith-this fragment Of human re-
mains demonstrates that man existed
here long before any previous records
have established. Doubt. however, has
been thrown upon the 6nd, in that it
is averred that the skull may have
been planted" having been previous
