 ing Bicentennial in 1882

Dr Alexander Wilbourne Weddell of Virginia House, Richmond, Va; F. Lamont Belin, and George B. McCleilen or Washington.
 In addition to. these authorities, Mrs Hoes has the sponsorship Of an honorary committee composed of the vice-president of the United States, Mrs Calvin Coolidge, Secretaries stimson, Mellon and Adams, the speaker of the house, the ambassa- : uOTS VI ,Atdtyp oOAAANeAAS Great Britain and Sweden. Others on the committee are the governor of Maryland. the governor of Virginia, Major General Douglas McArthur, chief of staff, United States army; Admiral William V. Pratt, chief of naval operations; Major General Commandant B. Fuller, United States Marine corps; Honorable c.

. The astonishing feat of collecting more than 100 original portraits of George Washington is being under taken by the United States George Washington Bicentennial commits sion.
 Through the generosity of the pa- triotic owners of these paintings which are being loaned to the com mission. this rare and valuable col lection will be placed in the United States National Museum in Washing ton as a public exhibition, and as one of the features of the George Washington Biennial celebration in 1892.
 Nothing like this exhibition has ever been attempted in the history of America, and such an assem- blaze of these pictures may never be possible again. In art interest, the exhibition will vie with it's historical i'm portance, and the thousands of persons who visit the national cap- ital during the Bicentennial celebra- tion will have an opportunity to see the mand remember sight which should be prized the rest of their lives. ~ @
 .. More than twenty artists paint ed George Washington from life and a number of these made numer- ous copies of their work. Thus Gil bert Stuart made about 70 copies of his famous Athenaeum portrait, per- haps the most familiar of all the Washington likenesses. Besides the portraits themselves the exhibition will include a large number of min- iatures of George and Martha Washington, together with silver, jewelry and other mementos.
 The idea of this collection and ex- hibit was first suggested some months ago by Honorable Sol Bloom, associate director of the United States George Washington Bicenten- nal commission. Mrs Rose Gouven- eur Hoes was asked to assume the task of organization. As many of the most valuable of the portraits were in the possesison of private owners, the difficulty of assembling this exhibition Is great. But Mrs Hoes reports willing response from all owners of these Washington paintings, both public and private.
 Members of the diplomatic corps have already volunteered the loan. of

VISITORS TO PARKS

Gain of ID Per Cent Noted,
but Travel to Monuments
Falls Off.

The business slump did not affect
travel last Summer in the Government
Fairgrounds.
AS a matter of fact, said Horace AL
bright, director Of national parks, in
a report to Secretary Wilbur, 3,152,845
persons went to the parks compared
to 2,774,561 last year, a gain Of IA per
cent.
Travel to national monuments fell on
about 80, 1000. The park director attrib-
uted this to the fact that most Of the
monuments are in the Southwest, where
an unusually hot Summer and result
ant bad roads made monuments less
inviting
Yosemite led the parks in visitors,
with 46l ,855 persons viewing and en-
joying its peaks and waterfalls. Plat

Albright said a great part of this travel
originated in the immediate locality.

Prime Minister Bennett. in lunch
con speech, Endorsed the thought ex-
pressed in a previous speech by Mr..
Young that the solution of the eco

wider education in the small colleges.
I'VE have built in the nineteenth CEN
tury a civilization of which we are
proud" said Mr.. Bennett That civ
ilization is challenged, and that chal-
lenge is real.
1.-THE responsibility for leadership,
the responsibility for giving this sick
and diseased world, after proper dag
nosis the remedies it needs, lies in the
graduates of the present day colleges"
Yourr Scores L. S. Ability.
Mr.. Young said the fundamental
strength of the dollar had made this
country responsible for the malnte-
nance of financial Worldwide eco
nomic strength and he voiced indict-
ment OF American education rs not pro-
ducing men with the training to carry
that responsibility.
1--WE have been training our men IN
the technique of production, in the
technique of distribution and finance,
he said But they have not been learn
ing that additional economic oversight
which is necessary to have this eco
nomic structure upheld.
Now We are creditor nation. Now
that the dollar has perhaps become the
strongest basis of international finance.

what We do. And We are inadequately
equipped, We are inadequately manned
to solve that problem"

NEW YORK, March 20.-Stocks
moved irregularly higher today i'll
rather dull and colorless trading.
A sharp opening bulge was followed
by active profit taking until near
the close, when prices flrmed up.
According to preliminary calcula-
ton the Dow, Jones & Co. indus
trial average advanced 1.22 points
to 1878 and the railroad average
.83 points to 100.89.
Sales totaled 100000 shares,
compared with 100000 shares
Thursday.
Trading during the greater part
of the session was marked by con-
f1icting price movements in a num-
Der of special shares, while leading
industrial and utility leaders moved
narrowly slightly above their pre-
viouS closing levels.
Acute weakness In United States
Industrial Alcohol and National
Cash Register was offset by power
full buying in other special shares.

mounted more than points and
gains of one to more than 2 points
we're scored by Westinghouse Elec-
trio, Radio, Gold Dust and Drug,
Inc.
United States Steel, which led
Thursdays upturn, was sluggish
until the final hour, but General
Motors was again taken in hand
and bid up nearly point to fur
ther new high for the year. Other
motors were firm.
Utilities as a group were again
under the influence of active profit
taking, attracted by their recent up
swing and made little Roadway, but
many Of the railroad shares showed
relief from the liquidation which has
appeared in these issues for the last
few weeks. Several of them were
able to score sharp recoveries.
Practically all stocks participated
in the closing upturn. although
United States Industrial Alcohol
made little recovery from its early
low.
The late improvement was slim
ulated by the weekend business and
trade reviews, which noted contin-
uation Of the steady improvement
which has characterized nearly every
week since the start of The new year.
