New Color Printing Process
accurately Copies Paintings
Rough, Damp Paper Used in Production of Prints OF
- Water COIOrs That Cannot Be Detected From
Originals.

What experts and the Smithsonian
Institution declare is the most re.
markable color printing ever done in
this country will be given a public
exhibition next Saturday, April 25, at
the plant where the work is being
done, in Mount Vernon, n. Y.
The exhibition of the actual print
ing in operation will be under the
auspices of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, for which the work is being pro-
duced. Those interested in seeing
these color reproductions, which can

mails, should write to DIR. Charles d.
Walcott, secretary of the Smithsonian
Institution, or to w. Z. Rudge, Mount
Vernon, n. Y, who has charge of the
work. A card of admission and direc-
tons to the plant will be sent to those
who apply

is a most marvellous collection, from
the standpoint of both artists and
botanists. These pictures have been
on exhibition in Washington, New
York and other cities, and so many
have been the requests for further
loans of the collection that DR.. Wal
colt set about the attempt at its
printed reproduction, which is now
proving so successful.
In this work many. difficulties were
met. Printers everywhere said that
the reproductions could not be made
except on a smooth, glossy paper. DR..
Walcott insisted that, to get the
proper tone effects, a rough paper was
required. Such a paper was finally
produced that would stand the test
of time and printing experiments were
made until satisfactory results were
obtained.
The problem of inks that could be
used on this rough surfaced paper
while the paper was wet was one
which took chemists several months
to solve. Due, it is said, to the
patience of DR.. Walcott and his asso-
ciates the achievement was finally ac-
complished.
At the present time officials of one
of the largest museums of art are
enthusiastic over the idea of repro
by this new process.

CIVIC BODY TOPLAN
July 4 EXERCISES
Federation for Patriotic OBJ
serVance Will Work With
Citizens Associations.

The District of Columbia Federation
for Patriotic Observance met at the
District Building yesterday afternoon
and decided TO appoint an executive
committee to cooperate with neigh
borhood organizations in arranging for
community celebrations on the Fourth
of July. This committee also will de-
eide whether there should be a cen
trail program for the entire city.
This federation was created last
December at the suggestion of Com
| missioner Rudolph, and its first big
| undertaking was the arranging of eX-
erciseS on Washington's birthday. in
which nearly all of the patriotic, civic
and fraternal bodies took part. The
exercises were held in Washington
Auditorium with an audience of 5000
in attendance.
Will Honor Lafayette.
On motion of Mai. Frederick W.
Keough, the federation voted yester-
day to hold similar celebration on
the next anniversary of the birthday
of George Washington. A suggestion
also was made yesterday that appro-
pirate ceremonies be held at the statue
of Gen. Lafayette on September 8.
The federation voted to change from
a permanent organization to one
which will. be continued in existence
for one year at a time. The object of
this change was to permit certain pa
triotfc societies to take part in the
work of the federation. which. could
not remain in the movement If the
federation became a permanent body.
Mrs. Noble Newport Potts, repre-
senting the United States Daughters
, of 1872, made a plea at the meeting
to all patriotic societies to cooperate
with the federation in the future cele-
brations of Washington's birthday.
No Attempts at Control.
In the discussion of what should
be done on July 4, Jesse c. Suter
pointed out that a number of neigh
borhood organizations follow the GUS
tom of staging. community. celebra-
tions and he said the federation for
patriotic observance might offer to aid
these communities in preparing their
programs without actually domtnal-
ing the celebration.
Gen. George Richards. chairman of
the federation, presented complete
report of the celebration on Washing
toms Birthday this year, and the
federation extended a vote of thanks
to the special committee which ar
ranged for that event.
Capt. Conway Cook was appointed
secretary Of the federation.

COUNCIL ELECTION
. PLANS TO Be LAID
Details Will Be Arranged at
Session of Federation
Tonight.

Appointment of tellers and the max
ing of other final arrangements for
the election of the Citizens Advisory
Council on May 2 will be completed
at the meeting of the Federation of
Citizens Associations at the District
Building tonight.
Although it is expected that some
effort may be made tonight to change
the council plan by those who believe
various sections of the city should
have a proportionate number of mem
bers, indications are that the present
arrangement under which eight coun-
cilmen will be elected from the city
as a whole will be retained.
The Southwest Citizens Association,
while favorable to the idea of Great
ing a council, has launched an attack
on the proposed method of electing
the members without regard to To-
cality.
Others May Go On Ballot.
An effort may also be made at the
meeting tonight to have placed on
the ballot for the first election the
names of several candidates who were
left off because notice of their nomi-
nation was not sent to the secretary
of the federation within the required
time limit, which ended last Tuesday.
A. J. Driscoll of the City Citi-
zens' Association and one of the can
didates for election to the council,
today added his name to the list of
other nominees who are in favor of
representation for the District of
Columbia in both Houses of Congress
and in the electoral college. Mr..
DriscoIl said he believed that if the
city had representation in Congress
together with broader powers for the
District Commissioners, that the city
would be satisfactorily governed.
Candidates Friends Busy.
AS the time for the election ap-
proaches, friends of the various can
didates are organizing support for
them.
OF the eight men to be elected to
the council, six will be chosen by the
Federation of Citizens Associations
the. night of May 2, and two by the
Federation of Civic Associations,
which represents the colored ,associa
tions. The official list of nominees
from the colored citizens associations
was announced today by John E.

THE completion OF the new Chicago
= Union Station marks a note
worthy accomplishment in the Sistory
of important engineering undertakings,
from which travellers from all parts of
the United States will derive pleas
ure and benefit.
The station is without doubt one of
the finest and most efficiently designed
railroad terminals in the world. 1t
forms a vital link in the realization of
the Chicago City Beautiful Plan" Sim
plicity, accessibility and convenience
for the travelling public are the essen
tial virtues of the new terminal. Rest
and recreation rooms, ticket offices,
barber shop, dining rooms, stores of
various kinds, and almost every con-
venience known to travellers, are to be
found on the one level, no steps to
climb.
The main station is a low monument
tai type Of building with a row Of
massive columns of classic design
along the entire east front. Once in
side, the traveller finds himself in a
gigantic waiting room more than 100
feet high and brilliantly lighted
through skylights in the great arch
C%olonnades inclose the room,
the walls of which are patterned after
the architecture of ancient Rome. Bor-
dering this room are the ultra-complete
passenger terminal facilities. An inno-

To give some idea of the immensely
Of the new station, 1t may be stated
that the main building covers an area
of about three acres with a c%oneourse
covering 10000 square feet. The en-
tire terminal facilities cover more than
80 acres and will expedite the prompt
and satisfactory handling of $4,000
passengers, 400 tons of baggage and
300 trains daily with room for future
expansion. Fifteen acres of glass
were used in the various coverings
yer the train sheds, which extend
more than 1000 feet beyond the main
structure. A total Of 1900 tons Of
structural steel, 175,000 cubic feet of
Indiana limestone and 10000 cubic
feet of granite were used in the sta
ton building and %concourse. The fOun.
dation consists Of 449 cylindrical con-
crete piers from four to ten feet in
diameter, reaching to a depth Of more
than 60 feet below the level Of the
Chicago river.
Those who have had the privilege
of inspecting the new station pro-
nounce it a marvel in terminal con-
struction and are urging their friends
to see it on their next visit to Chicago.
The station is used Jointly by the
Pennsylvania Railroad; Chicago, Mil

Foreign Junkets
The publication of a list of sena-

on Government ships during the
summer recess has brought out a
fine collection Of alibis. There is
a party of eleven touring the Far
East on a government transport.
Shortly after this list was made pub
lie several of these legislators fear
ing the possible effects in their dis
tricts, wired an explanation to their
home districts saying that they were
paying their own expenses and not
depending upon the charity of the
Federal Government. These junk
cts are usually expensive to the tax
payers but most entertaining to the
travellers.
One of the difficulties arising from
these unofficial visits of members of
Congress is the effect on foreign re-
l~ations. Many officials of foreign
governments are given the wrong
impression Of this country by indis-
Greet remarks of their gusts. In
many instances foreign governments
have interpreted the talk on for
eign policies by congressman as
semi-official, when as a matter of
fact their views carried no weight

an old story in Washington to the
effect that a congressman will talk
