Of Rotary Meet
To Be Held Tonight

Final preparations are being made
this aftern DON for the largest social
event Of the Rotarian conference,
which is the banquet given in the
house chambers Mt the state CAPT
toll this evening. Tables have been
placed, covers laid and delegations
seated to the number Of 800. The
tables are decorated with cut flowers
and the lightning effect combined
whit the effective use Of the Rotary
colors have turned the room into n
beautiful ball and banquet room.
Red, white and blue lights in the
big ceiling chandeliers make a beau
tiful illumination. The speakers
platform in the front Of the room
has been transformed into Il stage
for the Orchestra and the entertainers
OF the evening. Ferns and cut
flowers are used here and with the
decorating employed in the arches of
the windows the entire scheme is
most pleasing. NJ
The banquet will be served at 6 80

lie Daughters of America. Follow
ing the banquet dancing will be
enjoyed by all Rotarians and their
guests. The crowd expected to at
tend this social event is expected to
exceed the number attending the pre-
vious inaugural balls.

The Skillful Worker

The head stonecutter of the Ma
tional Cathedral died, religious service
for his soul and memory were held in
Bethlehem Chapel and the remains of
this master artisan were carried to
his old home in Iowa. His name was
Charles Austin. This man was de-
scended from colonial settlers in
Maryland and from a line of artisan
ancestors. His grandfather was a
master carpenter" who helped build
the first part Of the Capitol. He had
himself worked on famous buildings
In several parts Of the United States,
and his work here was cutting key
stones for the vaulting of the cathe.
dral. His memory should be kept and,
OF course, his name will be preserved
In the records of the cathedral, but as
Years pass his name will be forgot,
perhaps only to be found after search
among dusty, moldy papers in a re-
cess of the building.
1t is regretted that care is not taken
OF records Of men who build great and
enduring structures. There are fam
lies in Washington who proudly keep
in mind that the grandfather or other
ancestor helped build the Capitol, the
Monument, the Treasury or the Pat
ent Office. The ancestor they honor
was stonemason, a brickmason, a
carpenter, plasterer and so on. The
names of men who cut the corner
stone of the Capitol who chiseled and
set its pillars. who built the dome and
set the statue of Freedom in its place,
who laid the courses OF marble high
in the Monument and did other work
Of historic kind are worth recalling.
One can find the names of some of
them, sometimes. In moldy pay rolls,
but 1t is a job to get at them.

hand over naval armament. Friends
of the President say they think an eff
fort Is being made to shake President
Coolidge from his firm determination
not to allow the Government or Con-
gress to take any step which would
cause the United States to join in the
race for competitive military arma.
ment. ..., ~,
1t is believed that the majority
sentiment on Capitol aill sympa-
thizes with the President. and Secre-
tary Hughes. The suggested investi-
cation of the state of the Navy and
inquiry into the charges that the Navy
is below the Washington conference
ratio is being discouraged by the
President and at the Capitol. 1t is
pointed out that a special inquiry In
regard to that is not necessary and
that the naval affairs committees of
House and Senate can develop all the
facts necessary. .,.
President Coolidge and Secretary
Hughes are agrd upon a policy of
working for international peace along
their own lines, which contemplate
the avoidance Of sword.rattling. 1t is
said for President Coolidge that he
will not allow himself to be "stam.
peded" by any consideration from his
adherence to the principle OF non.
participation in competitive naval
armament.

The Price of Rapid Transit.

President Coolidge yesterday, in ad-
dressing the traffic regulation confer.
ence delegates, made a remark that
should be spread broadly before the
people Of the country to arouse them
to the magnitude OF the price they are
now paying for rapid transit:
II the death and disaster that now
fall upon our innocent people through
the year and over our country as a
whole were concentrated into one ca
Iamity, we would shudder at the tre-
mendous catastrophe. The loss is no
less disastrous because diHused X. time
and space.
Every day people are being killed
in the cities and on the country roads
in what are known as traffic accidents.
They are being killed in collisions be-
tween motor cars and pedestrians, be-
tween motor cars themselves, between
cars and trains at grade crossings and
in wrecks OF cars that are out of con-
troll, With the rarest OF exceptions
they are due to reckiessness. Speed.
indifference to rules, inattention TO
warnings are the primary causes. In
competence, drunkenness and sheer
