In the past-especially at fnauRurations

other than Barry BaIkeley, one of our

cannot be questioned. 1t is his plan that

which reaches in a direct line from the
Capltoi to the Washington Monument
and to the Lincoln Memorial at the very
| edge OF the Potomac river.
| historical tradition naturally clings
! to Pennsylvania avenue as the ideal
route Tor any parade, and the front
! OF the white House has been regarded
| as essential for a grand review. A
! route laid out through the Mall would
| SKIRT the southern portico of the White
| Rouse. however. and the entire setting
OF the procession would be one OF great
| natural beauty.
| Parades through the Mall would not
disturb the business sections Of the
CITY. would not interrupt traffic. and the
| immense parking space would provide
| vantage ground for hundreds Of thou
| sands OF spectators.
There is no question but that IL Is

number OF visitors are in Washington

their capital should be 80 curtailed

" " bunting and festoons Of
lights perhaps than at any

visiting mobiles OF the Imperial Council
of the Mystic Shrine. BY day and by
| night the downtown sections of the
city flame with the red, white and blue
| of the nation and the green. yellow and
red of the Shrine. So lavish and elabo-
| rate are some Of the decorations that
the patriotic societies are inclined 10
find fault with the manner in which Old
Glory has been draped or folded into
| various designs
! Aside from all this, however. there is
an aspect to the present and TO past
decorations of Washington which may
well claim the attention of the entire
nation. Washington is by way of being
the most beautiful city in America.
Certainly it is more distinctive, more
characterful than any other city in this
country, and perhaps in the world.
Two OF the many things that make 1t
distinctive are the Capitol and the
White House. Nowhere in all the world
can there be found two more impress
sive, more wonderful buildings
And yet the decorations arranged by
the local committee for the Shrine prac-
| tically eliminate the White House from
view. Furthermore the lights on

low green and red canopy of incandes-
cent glow over the famous thorough
fare. entirely shut off from the Avenue

That towering structure. bathed always
at nightfall in white glow, stands

akin to awe, especially upon the visi-
tor to the city viewing it for the first
time.
There is no question but that the

is a work Of art, pleasing to the eye.
and very utilitarian in it's fianking OF
grandstands built to accommodate
many thousands of persons in addition

1t must be admitted, however. that

its fights. and bunting and pylons, redo
lent OF Egyptian days and nights, could
have been erected in every detail of its
present glory at Shelby, Mont. the
crossroads town which has come so
much into the news OF late.
But where else in America could the
visitor hope to see such a vista as an
unobstructed view of the Treasury, the
White House and the magnificent pile
OF granite known as the State. War and
Navy building? And. after all. the
visitor would like to take away from
Washington the lasting impression of

1t will require a court of law at
Eoinboro to determine whether
Capt. Charles Campbell, who won
the military cross as captain of the
Royal Artillery in the great war. has
become, through the death OF his
distant cousin the other day, ninth
Earl of Breadalbane or ninth Earl of
Holland. For by a curious provision
IN the patent creating the earldom
Of Breadalbane. in the reign of King
Charles III, this particular peerage,
as well as the viscounty of Tay ard
the baronies Of Glenurchie and Bene-
deraloch, was granted conditional on
the possession of the then patrimonial
estate of Glenorchy. with the under
standing that IL the latter was ever
alienated the peerages in question
would ipso facto expire and pass out
of existence, leaving only the less
marL edly territorial titles of Earl OF
Holland. Viscount OF Paitland and Lord
Of Ormelie and Weick.
Whether this queer provision in
the patent bearing the sign manual

is said. He never S,a saIa ia q as" s.up,o nan

law of the realm. the courts alone
that is to say, the highest tribunals
of the Scottish kingdom-can decide.
1t is not really of very great i'm
ortance, and it is on the cards that
the new holder OF the honors of the
late Lord Breadalba bane may refrain
from invoking the intervention of the
law in the matter. For the earldoms
created at the same time, the patents
bearing the same date. SO that there
can be no question of precedence and.

Their history is rather an odd one.
George, sixth Earl of Caithness, was
so heavily in debt to Sir John Camp
teIl of Glenorchy that the latter COM
peIied him to make a will bequeath-
ing to him not only all his estates
and prerogatives, but alco his earl
dom and his other peerages. When
Sir Johns creditor was gathered to
his fathers he assumed the earldom
Of Caithness and took steps TO secure
possession of the estates, invading
the Caithness lands, with the au-
thority of the crown, q historical
event commemorated in the well
known song, The Campbells Arc
Comingr
However, the heir-in-blood of the
sixth Lord Caithness was able to
establish in the courts of Edinbor-
ouEh, that this testator had no right
to sell his ear1dom, no matter how
much he alienated his estates. and
accordingly Sir John Campbell, at

the earldom OF Caithness to the heir

But they were a vigorous crowd

to do with it-perhaps the fact that

In several million years from now
Our coal, already somewhat dear,
Is doomed to wholly disappear.
A scientific shudder passed
Clear through him when he saw how

This earth is changing. until soon

Must be but cinders in the sky.

While working his way through
