UNDERH|LL STUDIES
STORAGE OF RELICS.
Considers Three Propositions
for Housing Lincoln
Collection.

Representative Underhill of Massa-
chusetts, who has vigorously opposed
legislation authorizing repairs on the
old Ford Theater Building, where Lin
coin was aSSaSsinated, as treasury for
the Oldroyd collection of Lincoln relics
recently purchased by the Government
and for other patriotic uses, is seriously
considering where the collection of Lin
coin relics should be placed.
He now has before him three PROPOSE
tons for study.
First. a suitable flreproof building,
two stories high and containing APP
proximately II 900 square feet of floor
space and with suitable rooms for houS-
ing the Lincoln collection and for the
meetings of veteran organizations. to be
erected on the site of the Ford Theater
at a cost approximately 100000.
Second, a modern .fireproof office
building, nine stories in height, which
would provide ample space on the first
and second floors for the Lincoln col
lection and the necessary meeting rooms
for veteran organizations, and which
would also provide approximately 54,-
600 square feet of floor area on the
other seven floors as Office space for
one or more of the smaller Govern
ment offices or bureaus He estimates
such a building could be erected on the
site of the Ford Theater at cost of
$550,000.
Third, suitable space may be pro-
vided in the basement of the Lincoln
Memorial for housing the Lincoln COL
lection by sllspending a gallery floor APP
proximately midway between the main
floor level and the ground level in the
basement of the memorial, and by suit
ably finishing and fitting up this room
at cost OF approximately 100000.

PROTECTION ASKED
House Bill introduced Affect
ing Congressional Gem
etery Section.

Provision for care and preservation
of certain land and monuments In the
old Washington parish burial ground,
now the Congressional Cemetery, in
which are buried some of the persons
who took a conspicuous part in the
early history of this Nation, is pro-
posed in bill favorably reported from
the House committee on military affairs
today by Representative Glynn of Con-
necticut.
The report points out that among
the many distinguished men buried
there are George Clinton, vice president
George Washington; Tobias Lear, the
faithful private secretary to George
Washington; Gen. James Jackson, a
distinguished Georgian; William PEN
dleton Barbour, associate Justice of the
United States; William Writ, Attorney
General of the United States, and Abel

The bodies of nearly 100 soldiers and
seamen of the Revolutionary period, the
war of 1912 and few Northern and
Southern soldiers Of the Civil War are
also inferred in this cemetery.
The particular part of the Washing
ton Parish burial ground was decided
to the Government as a burial place
for Government officials and 1t is within
a mile of the Capital on the Anacostia
River. 1t is an isolated part of the
cemetery and for SO years has been
allowed to go to decay.
The Washington Parish burial ground
itself is under the direction and care
of an Episcopal Parish, but this section
of the cemetery has been left uncared
for all these years, the report en-
phaSizeS.

Discoveries made by Prof. Robinson

the first city to possess a bathtub, a
continuance of wood lined with sheet
lead, which is said to have been con-
structed there some time before the
middle of the nineteenth century. For
among the ruins of Olynthus, Prof.
Robinson found that the Greeks, as far
back as 400 BIC, used form fitting bath
tubs, which, he claims, were the equal

will cause them to go into a stupor,
making them an easy prey to the mu-
nicipal startling catcher.
A second suggestion came to Commits
sioner Dougherty's Office via the tele-
phone from man who said he worked
for the National Museum. He suggested
that to flood the birds roosting places
with searchlights would cause them to
resent the invasion of their privacy and
depart. This scheme. however. has al
ready been tried. and failed. The birds,
instead of resenting the limelight
thrown upon them. rather enjoyed it.
