Won Holleben the afternoon before
Prince Henry departed. This fete was
IN the embassy and the guests all shook
the royal hand most heartily.
Mrs Henry F. Dimock. who is the
sister of the late William c. Whitney
and has been for many years resident
of Washington, is best known through
her continued and untiring efforts to
erect memorial hall to the illustrious
patriot for whom the Capital City is
named It was in behalf of this project
that the former Secretary of State, Mr.
Charles E. Hughes, made his appeal to
something more than million listeners
over the radio on Washington's BIRTH
day. Mrs. Dimock secured from Con-
| gress site for the contemplated hall,
and it is the historic ground once oc-

Elihu Root. when Secretary of State,
that caused the Pennsylvania Railroad
to evacuate. for its officials were neither
owners nor lessees of this property, but
were, in the vulgar term. merely squat
tiers. Mr.. Root had acted in the in
tereStS OF Washington beautiful, and the
demolition of the unsightly station and
the tearing up of the railroad tracks
which disflgured the Mall was the first
| step in the gigantic operations now
progressing toward rebuilding Pennsyl-
yanla avenue according to the LEnfant

Mr.. Charles S. Dewey with Mrs.
Dewey and Miss Suzette, his daughter,
will leave Warsaw this coming week
and will sail for New York City in order
to make short visit to their home
in Chicago. Mr.. Dewey, who is the
financial expert now in charge of the
fiscal affairs of the Polish Republic.
has been continuously at his post for
more than year. One of the inter-
esting features of his soiourn in the
Polish capital was his appearance before
the Warsaw city board soon after
Christmas in which he urged the estab-
llshment of municipal tree such as
adorn municipal squares in every large
city of this country and recently the
entire rural districts. at appointed
places. Mr.. Dewey. who lives in a fine
Old palace in the heart of Warsaw, deco
rated the portals with two branching
evergreens brilliantly illuminated after
dark and filled with the conventional
ornaments. used for that purpose. The
innovation created a veritable sensa-
siastic in praise. Mr.. Dewey described
the prevalent method in his home city.
Lake Forest, ILL.,. when various sections
decided on a formal style of decora-
tons and placed two large trees at the
entrance and egress Of the street and
then have every lawn adorned with
smaller specimens. WarsaW's next
Yuletide will undoubtedly present bril-
liant appearance. Already clubs are
being formed for the purpose.
The late Dr. Sun Vat Sen. considered
the founder of the present Chinese Re-
public in the national sense, had pro-
crossed SO far as to have an anthem
already for the unified people when
that time came. It is called THE Song
OF the Kuomintang," and was chosen
by three competent judges after con-
sidering many hundred offerings, which
were the result of rendering a prize
OF $1,000. The words were chosen by
DR.. Sun personally after he had ex-
amined many manuscripts and he made
them public in famous patriotic
speech which he delivered at the
| Wnampoa Military Academy in Canton
in 1924. In a loose translation from
Chinese to English. always a most
difficult task, the hymn is a recital
OF the principles on which the new
unified China is founded and a NOV
ing appeal to the people to be one in
national aspirations and to forget the
,feuds and strifes of countless CEN
turtles. The hymn is now placed before
all school children and must be sung
twice a day during the sessions. II
also is part of the daily routine in all
barracks and military institutions and
pre1aces all amusements. At its be-
| ginning and end there will be three
bows before the portrait of DR.. sun,
which is found universally at all public
meeting places and in schools and
military posts.
