The glass contains certain chemical

Certain colors OF the spectrum are
taken from the light rays passing
through this glass. The colors
which r absorbed are chiefly
those which range IN tones from

Persons who are IN posts OF re-

troll Of the capital may be exemplified

NEW YORK, May -13.-Gut1on Borg
lum, sculptor, in q communication pub
lished in the New York Times today,
revealed changes he had made in the
text of the 500-word history of the
United States written by Calvin Cool
idge, to be inscribed on the granite of
Mount Rushmore, in South Dakota.
The Coolidge text which read, 1.-THE
Declaration of ndependence-the eter-
nal right to seek happiness through
self-government and the divine duty to
defend that right at any sacrifice" was
changed to read: "In the year Of Our
Lord, 1776, the people declared the eter-
nal right to seek happiness-self-gov-
ernment-and the divine duty to defend
that right at any sacrifice"
Identifies Historical Era.
Mr.. Borglum, who is in charge of the
memorial, said he made the change to
events recorded took place. He said he
wrote Gin the year Of Our Lord 1776,"
to mark the Christian era, and elm
mated the words Declaration Of In
dependence" to convert the text into
the style Of historical narrative.
"The Declaration states that the Gre
ator endowed man with certain inalien-
able rights" Mr.. Borglum said. "The
existence of these rights Is so obvious
that it needs only to be stated. The
pursuit of happiness is one Of these
eternal rights. and deriving from this
right to pursue happiness Is the equally
fundamental right to institute any form
of government for themselves that will
guarantee the people the security to
this right"
Two other changes were made in the
inscription submitted by Mr.. Coolidge.
His original text read:
1.-THE Constitution-charter Of per-
petual union Of free people of sovereign
States establishing government OF
limited powers under an independent
President, Congress and court, charged
to provide security for all citizens In
their enjoyment Of liberty, equality and
justice under the law"
Date Is Again Fixed.
Mr.. Borglum changed that paragraph
to read:
"In 1887 people of sovereign States,
establishing government of limited
powers-under an independent Presi-
dent, Congress and court, charged to
provide security for all citizens In their
enjoyment Of liberty, equality and JUS
tice."
The changes in inscription, Mr.. Borg
lum said, were to add the date to con-
tinue the historical narrative begun in
the first paragraph, substitute for the
words THE Constitution" the descrip-
ton Of the event itself, insert a dash
after the word powers for emphasis
and eliminate the phrase under the
law" because the law itself derives from
