Construction of the piers Of the Ar
lington Memorial Bridge, which Is to
connect the Lincoln Memorial, in West
Potomac Park, with the resting place
of the Nations heroic dead in the
National Cemetery at Arlington, has
revived interest in the question as to
what disposition shall be made of the
historic block of stone dedicated by
the Grand Army Of the Republic at
its encampment in this city October
2, 1902, as the corner stone of the
bridge.
Maj. U. S. Grant, Sd, director of
public buildings and public parks, who
is executive officer of the Arlington
Memorial Bridge Commission, is con-
sidering the question of the availa-
bility of the old stone in the construc-
ton Of the superstructure of the
bridge under the approved design. but
final decision in the matter will be
made by the bridge commission, Of
which President Coolidge is the chair
man.
Because the historic block is sand
stone and the piers and arches of the
bridge are to be formed Of granite, it
may be found impracticable to use the
former as the actual corner stone of
the structure, but, it is intimated, that
1t may be found possible to 1ncor-
porate the big block in some less con-
spicuous part of the immense struc-
ture. There is a strong sentiment
among Grand Army men and members
Of the Stonecuttcrs Union of this
city in favor of it's use in some way
in the new bridge. ..
History of Noted Stone.
In 1902 Congress authorized sur
vey of the site of the proposed Me-
mortal Bridge. In the same year the
Stonecutters' Union Of this city cut
and designed "the corner stone" of
the bridge. and it was officially dedi-
Gated to such use at the thirty-sixth
national encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, then in session
here. From that year until the Spring
Of 1918 theGstone rested at the north.

SOUTHERN BAPTIST
SESSIONS OPENED
Conference Confronted With
Task of Providing Larger
Funds for Work.
By the Associated Press.

by tHt Associated ffT'eS.
HOUSTON. Ten. May II Faced
with a So 100000 budget and confront
ed with the necessity of providing
larger resources for support of VaTi-
Gus departments of organized work
fostered by the denomination. the
Southern Baptist convention began the
first session of it's annual convention
today.
The most practical step in raising
the fund, the cooperative program
commission said in its report to the
convention, is to enlist 100000 tithers.
The commission is charged with the
duty of procuring the convention re
sources. An alternative plan, the
commission told the convention, is
for the enlistment of the budget sys-
tenn, which would mean the encour-
agement of each church to give at
least half of it's total budget to the
support of work beyond its own local
borders.
Debt Reduction Made.
Great satisfaction was manifested
by the delegates over the report of
the foreign mission board that it had
reduced it's debt from $3.50, 900 TO
approximately S750.000.
Many departments of the conven-
tion have been facing deficits in
their operating expenses in recent
years, until the accumulated debts
now amount to about $5,000,000, the
convention was told. Although the
debts are offset in a measure by re-
sources aggregating $22.000.000 in
church property. the commission
favors increasing the regular budget
from year to year in preference to
general debts raising campaign.
Meanwhile the convention listened
to the commission plan for distribu
ton of the proposed 50 100000 fund
and the percentage to be allotted To
each activity.
One-Half to States.
One-half, it is said, should go TO
State causes and the remainder TO
southwide activities. OF the allOt-
ment of southwide funds. the COM
mission recommended that one-half
go to foreign missions. 2215 per cent
to home missions, and the remainder.

Crashes Laid To
Careless Driving

Atlanta, Ga.-Railway executives
here, now waging a Careful Cross
ing" campaign for the summer, are
convinced from reports made of tests
in various sections of the country
that accidents at grade crossings are
largely the result of the carelessness
of persons crossing the railroad
tracks.
Attentio mis- called to the fact that
precautions are more necessary at
the present time than perhaps any
other period of the year on account
of the increased use of automobiles
at grade crossings in unfamiliar and
outlying sections. -:

gan that holds good for the summer
as well as the rest of the year." said

Secretary Jackson said today that
it was not probable that the legisla-

Enlistment of the Junior Republic
would be introduced at the present
session on account of the congestion
of the closing days of congress, but
it woul,, be ready for consideration
