OF MEMORIAL PLAN
Senator Describes Movement
to Erect Building as Trib-
ute to Washington.

The proposed George Washington
Memorial Building to be erected on B
street between Sixth and Seventh
streets was described in radio address
by Senator Shortridge, Republican, of
California, over the Columbia Broad
casting Sytem last night.
After stressing the accomplishments
of George washington not only in fight
ing his country's battles in the Revolu-
ton but also as statesman in helping
to found the Republic, Senator Short
ridge said:
How shall we further express our
gratitude to Washington? Here in the
Capital Of the Nation we propose TO
erect building as memorial TO the
Father of the Republic. In archi-
tectural design it is to be noble ana
majestic, symbolic of the character OF
washington. It is to- stand on ground
dedicated by Congress. 1t Is to De
erected by means voluntarily contributed
by patriotic Americans.
"It is to be of such ample proportions
as to have room set apart Tor every
State of the Union. 1t Is to be shrine
to which age will come to renew It's
devotion, to which youth will come TO
dedicate itself to the cause OF liberty,
and where both will thank God, as we
do, for the life and character and leg
acy of Washington.
'Let us hope that the building to
be erected as a grateful memorial TO
him will stand as long as the republic
endures, and may the republic endure
forever"
He spoke on behalf of the George
Washington Memorial Association.

WRITER PREFERS VOYAGE
BY FREIGHTER TO LINER

II It can be said that the conven-
tional transatlantic tourist misses com.
pletely the color and romance Of the
Old World, it can be said even more
truthfully that he misses the flavor of
the sea, writes Frank Schoonmaker in
the North American Review. To lounge
on the decks Of the latest palatial liner
is indisputably q tempting luxllry--but
it is almost to forget the existence Of
the ocean.
There are alternative routes to Eu-
rope which, at least once In lifetime,
the most experienced traveller may SAM
pie with delight. Let him try the serv-
ice of the cargo boats, which alone
preserve, In this mechanical and luxu-
rious age, something Of the briny at
mosphere Of old.
The few passengers they carry do
not lack comfort. have seen freight
boat cabins that would grace the Aqui-
ts.nia. But, besides comfort, the freight
boat traveller, associating with the off,
GERS, living for 10 days or O fortnight
in close and friendly proximity to the
sea, becomes, in a sense, part OF 1t
ali. a temporary member of q mystic
rious brotherhood. The people who go
down to the sea are the, salt Of the
earth.
To cross the Atlantic by freight boat
is to enjoy an unspoiled introduction
to the Europe that Is not yet spoiled.
A leisurely fortnight in which one can
SAVIOR to the full the true taste Of the
sea-and then one lands, quietly and
without fanfare.
There are no tourist agents at the
pier. no boat train TO whisk one OF
rudely to Paris or London; the low
road to Europe Is an unpretentious
road, with adventures all its own, akin
to the explorers.
