the people of the United States yester-
day as Representative Sol Bloom, asso-
clate director Of the George Washington
Bicentennial Commission, told from its

kindness that was witnessed here on
those Sunday mornings long ago.
He Bows in Prayer.
Again do see the mighty form of
Gen. Washington the Father of His
Country. kneeling in humble supplica-
tion to his Father on high. In sim
plicity. In child-like faith. the great
man bows in prayer. The soft music OF
forgotten hymns seem to come to me
as the echo of an angels song. and ]
feel that my humble presence here is
as 1t were, a ghost that intrudes upon
another era. another state of sociaI
order. another age. when our history as
a Nation was beginning
I'VE need a return not only to the
wisdom, the courage and the character
of George Washington, but we need a
return to his calm faith in the God
OF human destiny. We need a new
conservation to that morality which
guides and stimulates the acts of our
daily lives. We need a devotion that
surmounts difficulties, that overcomes
opposition, that triumphs in the rela-
tionship of man with man.
The Undertaking Course.
Those devoted people who builded
this church, who worshipped here in
these inspirational surroundings. who
set us an example of good living, fine
companionship and .steadfast honor,
would bring us back again into the
stream Of life as they know it.
I'VE need the calm, SOLDERING influence
Of practical religion by which We may
set our course, and we need to re-ex-
anime these landmarks of public apd
private decency which point out the
undertaking course of justice and kind
ness and love-"

Material City Developing.

George Washington's magnificent
material city. with its parks, avenues,
buildings and monuments, is developing
before our eyes. Undoubtedly the Ma
tion will in time correspondingly develop
on American and equitable lines the
political and judicial rights and powers
of the people who live in the material
city.
In honoring today the memory of
Washington, let us resolve that his
words concerning the Nations City
shall not be falsified. Let us honor the
man by bringing the honor, which he
predicted, to his namesake city. To
this end let US cooperate with others,

Unthinking Guest, Helpless Host

Famous Authority on Etiquette.

Roadsides': with no symptoms of hun
ger to remind them. Of supper, they
arrive Just as the Roadsides, who take
their meals early, are about to sit down
at table. II it so happens that their
table Is bountiful, 1t Is simple enough
to ask the Neighbors and the Towns
to stay for supper. But IN most houses,
q meal prepared for two cannot possibly
be made to serve for six. The Road
sides, therefore, feeling miserably in
hospitable as well as hungry, have no
visitors depart.
or, to make the story more distress
ing, let us say that before the Neigh
bors and Towns take leave, the Ontfe-
hills, having supped Cor dineO, arrive
and are, In turn, snpplafted by relays
Of other friends throughout the evening.
4 y
0F course, how the Roadsides meet
~ this situation depends upon many
thingsl II they are informal and not
self-conscious, and the Onthehils are
intimate friends, they tell them what
has happened and add, Come and SIT
with us while we eat our supper" On
the other hand, II the Onthehills are
rather formal and II, perhaps, they do
not for one reason or another care to
have the Onthehills watch them eat,
the better thing for the ,Roadsides to
do might be to bring bread and butter
with coffee or cocoa, or whatever the
house affords, into the living room as
though they were offering evening re-
freshments. and make this do for their
own missed supper"
Naturally, people arriving later in the
evening could have no way Of knowing
that the Roadsides had gone supperless,
unless they are told. But there Is
small excuse for the Neighbors, who
should have taken the trouble to think
about the probable supper hour Of the
Roadsides. All of which Is long way
around toward explaining exactly why
the rules of etiquette prescribe that
visiting hours be fixed between and S
in the afternoon or in communities
where evening visits are paid, at an
hour well past the time when the
neighborhood finishes its evening meal

Perfume and Emotion.

TNTERWOvEN, as perfume is. with
Il our emotions, we cannot overesti-
mate its worth. Correctly chosen and
correctly used, it is the final touch TO
beauty and charm It should leave a
pleasing memory like that OF a well
modulated voice. the graceful movement
of lovely hand, those apparently small
things that are among the reasons why
one woman fingers in the memories OF
all who meet her while another Is Tor
gotten.
Perfumes are purely emotional and
should not be. chosen merely because
they are fashionable, but because they
complement the personality and tenn
permanent of the wearer. Some per-
fumes suggest mystery, Others breathe
an atmosphere of conquest and sur
render. Then there is the modern sue
cessfs1l idea of perfumes for different
hours of the day and perfumes for
different costumes.

The figures were announced today
by 3. II, Heide, secretary-manager OF
the exposition. The unprecedenteo
entry list was due to three factors ne
said.
First. farmers had an abundance OF
feed this Summer which they could
dispose Of more profitably by giving
to their cattle than by selling. sec

Canadian province and even Australia
will be represented by exhibits at the
live stock show proper, Heide said, ana

The exposition's opening day will'.be
i featured by the international junior

pions of which will later be thrown
| into competition against those OF adult
breeders.
| Youth not only will exhibit, but will
have a voice in the awarding OF prizes

tie and meat judging contests will be
held on the first days.
l Fourth Club boys and girls-a thou

After parading the arena before the
Judges, many of the bltIebloods Of the
American live stock world win be auc-
toned off for conversion into meat.
