MASONS' MEMORIAL
GETS CHIMES GIFT
Alexandria Citizens Surprised
by Music From Wash
ington Marker.

A set of Westminster chimes has
been installed in the George Washing
ton National Masonic Memorial under
construction at Alexandria. The chimes
are the gift of Louis A. Watres, presi-
dent of the George Washington Ma
tional Masonic Memorial Association, to
that body, and are understood to have
cost about $4,000.
The chimes were first put into oper-
alton late yesterday, and their clear,
hour were the first hint to residents
OF Alexandria of the gift to the Masonic
Memorial.
Masonic Hymns Played.
Music, consisting principally of Ma
sonic hymns, was first played on the
chimes this morning, when Miss Mar
garet j. Crawford, 21-year -old daughter
of Percy c. Crawford, who is head of
the company constructing the temple,
operated the stops for an hour between
9 and 10 o'clock
The installation Of the chimes has
been going on since last November.
Located on the seventh floor of the
partially completed structure, the in
stallation required eight tons of equip
ment and 5000 linear feet of cabled
wire. The cylindrical chimes are OPP
Grated entirely by electricity and are
played from a keyboard consisting OF
20 keys located back of the main audi
forum of the temple.
The chimes will be set to ring every
half hour during the day from o'clock
in the morning until 10 at night Yes
terday they sounded on the quarter
hour while being tried out
Col Watres expressed himself as not
entirely satisfied with the volume Of
the notes given of by the chimes yes
terday and today and stated that the
present installation was only temporary
and that he planned to build a sep
arate tower outside of the present floor
for the permanent placing of the in

donor, and cannot now be. heard in the

! Donor Is Musician.
The donor of the chimes is himself a
musician. He has set of l6 chimes
similar to those installed at the Temple
at his nome at Scranton, Pa, with sew
eral control boards, some located con-
siderable distance away.

The boy who shows an abnormal de-
velopmental age score, he pointed out,
naturally affords a serious problem to
teachers and parentS-almost as much
so as a boy showing an abnormal in
telligence score. Something is obviously
wrong with the 14-year-old boy who
continues to play with small boys and
girls and who has not even reached the
stage where he normally would avoid
girls of his own age.
Probably the most serious problem
which arises in the gang age" group, he
pointed out is that OF inferiority, es-
pecially as felt by the sissy" boy. A
whole life may be wrecked by failure to
understand and attend to this condition.
In the adolescent age, he said, the most
frequent problem is just the opposite
that Of too little inferiority and the
"smart-ASc" type Of behavior.

heard and approved a report from q
drainage and sewerage committee, rep
resentative of interested District, Vir-

details that need further elaboration in
the report as submitted but after the
authorities had appeared before it this

the commission directed attention to the
needs of half a century hence and sug-
gested that the authorities concerned
turn their attention toward coping with
the problem.
Explaining the report and the COM
missions position, Capt. e. N. Chisholm,
IT., the commissions engineer. said to-
day that the time will come when the
District OF Columbia will no longer be
able to dispose of its raw sewage by
throwing it into the Potomac River
When the time comes that the water
courses are being polluted, Capt. CHS
holm said, the United States Public
Health Service will require sewage dis
posal plants to be constructed in this
area as health measure.
Among those who appeared before the
commission in relation to the drainage
and sewerage reports were j. B. Gordon.
sanitary engineer for the District of
Columbia; Lieut.. Col. u. S. Grant, Sd,
the commissions executive officer and
vice chairman; Capt. Chisolm, Charles

neer OF the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission; G. L. Kinier, Airing
ton County, Va, engineer; Thomas De
Lashmutt, in charge of sewer activities
IN Arlington County, and M. Hall of
the Maryland State board of health,
The commission voted its thanks to
the drainage and sewerage committee
for its work and suggested that some
minor points in the report as submit
ted be restudied.
The commission, following the an
proval Of the report, turned its atten-
ton, shortly before noon, to a con-
Sideration Of proposed highway changes.
