A GREAT AUDITORIUM

One Of the pages In the illustrated
section Of the jubilee edition Of the
Chattanooga Times on the occasion
Of Adolph S. Ochs' 5Oth anniversary
as a publisher gave vivid descrip-
ton Of the Soldiers and Sailors
Memorial Auditorium in that city.
Chattanooga Is one OF the cities
which preferred to honor its heroes
with a great auditorium rather than
a monument, thus at the same time
causing the honor to the dead TO be
of practical use TO the living. The
auditorium cost $4,000 seats $500
and an additional 500 on the stage
and is equipped with = monster
pipe organ. Edwin H. Lemare, one
OF the worlds most noted organists
has been engaged as the municipal
organist. The auditorium building IL
equipped with numerous facilities
for public meetings Of any character.
there being among other things -
rooms for small meetings, = large
loom for exhibits, and four rooms
seating ESQ each for medium sized
meetings.
Some folks might wonder wheth-
er Chattanooga. which ID no more
than twice the size OF New Britain,
, can fill the auditorium for any pub.
lie gathering. 1t seems to be busy
place all winter. however, and the
plenitude of seats insures low prices
to the public. 80 far as the regular
organ recitals are concerned, they
are free.
The advantage Of such an institu.
ton In = city's life is self-evident.
Some day New Britain may be
similarly blessed. but from the pres
ent outlook it will take some time.

The theory that Captain Alfred
LoeWenstein fell from his airplane
lille crossing the English Channel
is at least logical. The theory that
he jumped from the plane is possible
but hardly logical. The theory that
he caused himself to disappear. in
tending to turn up later, Is entirely
illogical. Stories have been told since
his strange end to the effect that
his financial condition recently re-
ouired large loan in New York.
which vas not granted, but promised
TO him later. that he had lost 800
100000 through financial deals that
turned out poorly. Even SO the

1t does not require a marvellous
memory to remember the day when
stories appeared in the public prints
regarding the terrible state OF John
D. Rockefeller's Indigestion. The old
gentleman-he was then already
quite on III years-could eat scarcely
any food thicker than soup and
crackers Yet a weak tummy seems
not to have interfered with the oil
kings general health. He is now SO
years of age and looks destined for
the century mark or beyond. Had
the elder Rockefeller been able to
devour and digest anything his pal
ate craved he probably would have
missed his present good physical
state. Many man with an iron
stomach" able to eat almost any
thing" in almost unlimited quaint
ties. has died comparatively young.

Such states as maintain a board

ICED strength of the corps is to be
expected. Although the appropriated
for strength has necessitated the with
drawal of the various Marine detach-
ments, from vessels of the Navy for
temporary assignment to expeditionary
duties ashore, the only imperceptible
change that may be expected is that the
