States and the board Of of
the society. That site on the public
reservation nea the Potomac river.
where the monument now stands, was
selected. The corner stone Of the mon
ument was laid on July 4. Of that year.
This stone was a block Of marble
weighing 24,5OO pounds, and was quar-
ried and presented to the society by
Thomas S%ymingtOn Of Baltimore. The
stone selected for the foundation was
the blue rock Of the Potomac valley,
in blocks weighing from six to eight
tons.
Design Changed.
When the actual work was begun
Mills plan of a circular cOlOnnaded
building at the base was abandoned
and only the Obelisk shaft, which was
changed as 70 proportions, was re-
tanned. On this plan the monument
was finally erected to a height Of $50
feet, by 1860. Then the Civil war
halted work on it. But at the end
Of the war further appeals were made
to the public for contributions, and to
congress for cooperation. Il was Ia
1876 that the resolution was offered
to that body for the completion Of the
monument. This act, as passed, car
ried with it an appropriation Of $780,
900. It provided for the transfer
to the government of all property Of
the Washington National Monument
society, and that the construction Of
the monument be placed under the
joint supervision Of the President Of
the United States, the supervising
architect of the Treasury depart
ment, the architect of the Capitol, the
chief engineers Of the army and the
first vice president Of the society.
The first work on the resumption of
the construction of the monument was
the strengthening and enlarging Of it's
foundation. This was because the
} original foundation was found to be
inadequate to bear the proposed shaft.
Stands on Original Site.
The completed monument, which
stands 555 feet high, was dedicated
in February, 1885, The total cost was
nearly S1,2OO,OOO. Thousands Of Dill
grims visit it every year, many o.
them travelling to its summit to view
the marvellous panorama Of their ma
tioRal capital.
Contrary to a rumOr at n time
the Washington monument has never
been moved. From the very begin
nings Of it's construction il has re
manned on the present site. How
ever, in one sense, the mOnumen
moves daily with the sun, turnini

Monument Is
Nations Tribute
to Greatest Son

The idea Of a monument to the
memory Of George Washington orig
mated In the house Of representatives.
It was the ultimate outcome Of a res
olutiOn introduced by John Marshall
in 1899 that a marble monument be
erected by the United States in the
capital, at the city Of Washington,
and that the family Of General Wash
ington be requested to permit his body
to be deposited under it; and that
the monument be so designed as to
commemorate the great events Of his
military and political life" Before
this however, the Continental con-
gresA In 1888, had adopted the resO-
tuition that an equestrian statue Of
General Washington be erected at the
place where the residence Of congress
shall be established"
In considering these two resolutions
congress amended the former so as to
provide that a ''mausOleum Of Amer
ican granite and marble, in pyra.
midal form, 100 feet at the base and
Of prOportionate height shall be erect
ed in the city Of Washington" Mean.

There has been an increase of 17.5
per cent in aluminium manufactures,
according to a census report for
1925. To the lay mind the use of
aluminium is concerned mainly with
the manufacture of cooking utensils,
but that use is only one of the vast
and constantly increasing number Of
in which this versatile modern metal
is employed. Aluminium finds a place
in feed wires for electrical trolley
systems in which copper alone was
formerly used. Aluminium is utilized
in long distance transmission lines,
and it finds it's way into the manu-
facture of paint now being extensive
ly used for metallic objects, such as
weighing machines, mail boxes, steam
and hot water radiators, and other
familiar objects. It is also used il
the manufacture Of steel, and Presi-

toned in the resolution Of the Con-
tinental congress eliminated in the
statue by Greenough, which was
placed in the rotunda Of the Capitol
In 1841. But it was later moved to
the east front Of the Capitol; and
more recently to the Smithsonian mu-
scum.
No definite steps were taken toward
the erection Of the monument until
1888. During that year the Washing
ton National Monument society was
organized, with the idea OF erecting
a monument by popular subscription.
In 1886 the society invited American
artists to submit designs for a monu-
ment. The only requirement was that
any plans submitted should "harmO-
niOusly blend durability, simplicity
and grandeur" The cost Of the pro-
posed structure was to be no less
than $1,O00,0O0.
Proposed Memorial.
Many designs were submitted The
one selected was that submitted by
Robert Mills, a prominent architect of
his time. This design, known as the
original design Of the Washington
National monument, is reproduced In

But funds for the monument accu

had been limited to n dollar a per

LOVERS MARRY
after 81 YEARS
Parted Half a Century Ago
When Man Went West to
Make His Fortune.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-When Victor
Handley, a rancher Of the Reliance
district of the Missouri river section
Of central South Dakota. returned the
other. day from Canada with a bride,
sweethearts of 80 years ago were
united. When they parted in Canada
more than half a century ago Hand
ley set out for the United States to
make a fortune for himself and the
sweetheart of his youth. He thought
1t would not be long until he could
send for the girl who had won his
heart.
He became a pioneer of the Ameri-
can West and found that he had
tackled a man-sized job, although he
was a mere youth at the time. No
one knows but himself how hard he
worked in the effort to accumulate
the comparatively small sun required
TO establish a home, so he could send
for his Canadian sweetheart.
Battle for Home Slow.
But things ran against him with the
passing Of the years and he became
rough and swarthy in the battle for a
home and bride. After years had
elapsed without his being able to &C.
Cumulate enough wealth to provide Il
home for his intended bride he came
to the conclusion that she had wearied
Of waiting for him. In the few let
tiers he wrote her during the early
years Of their separation he was
ashamed to tell her he had not yet
met with success.
Then came the years Of meager suc-
cess and mature reflection. He re-
Gently mustered up enough courage to
write to his old home in Canada, and
was informed that his sweetheart Of
81 years ago had waited eight long
years for him to send for her so they
could be married, and had then aban-
dOned all hope Of hearing from her
girlhOOd love and had married anOth-
er man.

writing direct to his old sweetheart
and the manc Of 81 years ago was
renewed. Recently they married and
the bride has taken up her home with
her husband on his South Dakota
ranch. They are said to be as happy
as though the marriage had taken
place when they were in the flower Of
their youth.
