ST. THOMAS WINDOWS EXCEL
Holiday, Worlds Greatest Designer of Stained Glass; Gave
Washington Some of His Best-Idea of Central Plan
Cenered in Church of England History.

Hunt and John Ruskin-among his
friends. He knew Gladstone, the
statesman, intimately for years.
His painting of the Meeting of
Dante and Beatrice" has been repro
duced thousands Of times, and Is per-
haps better known than even Dante's
own story Of the event.
When he was only 23 years old he
succeeded the famous Burne-Jones in
the English firm of Powell & Sons, de-
signers Of stained glass. This was
the beginning of his long career.
Later, when Millais received an order
for q window, he turned it over to
Holiday, saying that the younger man
could do a better job. He began his
work in st. Thomas in 1906, at the
request of DR.. c. Ernest Smith, who,
on June 80, resigned as rector of st.
Thomas parish, after having held his
post for SO years.
While Holiday was at the height of
his success, DR.. Smith was receiving
his theological training at St. Angus
tines College, Canterbury, where he
won a first class In the Oxford and
Cambridge examinations for holy Or
ders. One of his examiners was the
famous Bishop of Durham. Six years
after the artist completed his Meet
ing Of Dante and Beatrice" the young
clergyman became rector Of st. Paul's
parish, In Prince Georges County, Md.
A few years later he received charge
in Baltimore, leaving that to come to
Washington.
st. Thomas was then q very new
church. It had not been mellowed
by years and tradition. There were no
marble angel-font, no quartered-oak
chancel stalls, no statue OF a lowering
Christ In the quatrefoil of the lantern
tower. The windows were made OF
ordinary glass.
TN SPITE of all this, DR.. Smith lost
no time in visualizing the church
of the future. Writing in the Parish
News of February, 1906, he said:
1--WE take it for granted that our
church windows, filled though they
are with excellent glass, are destined
some day to give place to that which
Is more worthy Of the church In its
completed condition.
1.-THE extraordinary improvement
possible here we do not suppose any
one can overstate. just think of all
the lower windows filled with beau
tful figures, one figure to q window,
all well done-they would indeed be
sermons in glass. sources Of inspira-
ton"
To his vestry the young rector sug-
gested that one plan-one theme-be
selected for all 16 Of those lower win
dows and that in memoriam gifts
be accepted IN accordance with it.
The idea Of o central theme, to be
developed In window after window,
was an innovation. The subject OF
a memorial window was generally
chosen by the person who gave the
gift. Similarly, each donor selected
the artist whom he preferred. In too
many cases such q scheme-or lack
Of one-had resulted in q hodge
podge Of unrelated design and uneven
workmanship.
When he was asked what plan he
proposed. Df. Smith replied, The

g ENTL e M E N, you have
taken me completely un-
7 awares, even as accidental
~ fires are apt to do. Never
theless, will proceed to convince you
informed as to the status here. Let
us have a demonstration at once and
see what will happen. If someone
has q stop-watch, please note the
elapsed time from my sounding Of the
alarm to the arrival Of men and
equipment"
The group thus addressed, number
of years ago by Col. Harrison H.
Dodge, veteran custodian of Mount
Vernon, was composed Of fire chiefs
representing the Nations Capital and
six of the country's largest cities.
These men had been delegated by the
International Convention of Fire
Chiefs, held that year in New Orleans,
"to inspect all fire hazards at Mount
Vernon and prescribe remedies for the
apparent neglect to provide means to
combat a fire"
The existence of such q committee,
it seems, was brought about by the
report of q fire chief from the West
Coast, who, upon visiting Mount Yer
non en- route to the convention in New
Orleans, personally made an inspec-
ton Of the premises to find what pro-
vision had been made in case fire
should break out in the former homie
Of George Washington. Finding
nothing but few leather water
buckets, originals from washington's
day, . report was made at the con-
vention, stating that Mount Vernon
was absolutely without fire protection
and that there was no evidence Of
any precautions having been taken to
guard against fire.
IT was on the heels Of this investiga-
ton, therefore, that the committee
descended quite unexpectedly at
Mount Vernon, near the noon hour,
when most Of the guards had left
for luncheon and would have to come
from considerable distances to answer
fire alarm.
However, within 81 seconds from
the sounding Of the alarm by Col.
Dodge on this occasion, the chemical
IRE apparatus reached Sthe mansion

and ladders and hose were ready for
action. In less than two minutes,
four lines of water hose were laid and
pressure was on.
This practical demonstration met
with the greatest aStonishment on the
part Of the Commission of Investiga-
ton and Remedy, and the chiefs,
looking at one another. laughingly
exclaimed, Lets 60 home!"
Feeling that an explanation was in
order, the colonel hastened to inform
the committee that during his years
as custodian of Mount Vernon his
chief responsibility had been the safe
keeping of Washington's home. This
naturally entailed the necessity for
the most careful protection against
fire that modern methods could af-
ford. However, Of paramount impor-
tance was the desire to keep Mount
Vernon, in outward appearance, at
least, as 1t was in Washington's time.
1t was, therefore, necessary to conceal
every modern appliance used to safe
guard this shrine.
WHEN, in 1860, formal possession
of Mount Vernon was granted
the Mount Vernon Ladies' Associa-
ton. the only fire protection afforded
was by barrels placed so as to catch
water falling from the roofs, q num-
Der of small buckets being available
for carrying the water. In addition,
buckets Of salt were stored on the at
tic floor, In the event Of o chimney
fire, when the contents Of these
buckets could be used to smother the
blaze. The small ladder steps against
the two big chimneys may still be
seen as they were at that time.
Later three large cisterns were built
with . capacity Of $4,000 gallons,
wholly dependent upon rainfall. A
small, portable suction pump, oper-
ated by man power, was ready for
emergency, but, as the hose nozzle
accommodated Q stream Of but "
inch, it was not considered adequate
protection.
These more primitive devices were
gradually replaced by more modern
methods, graduating from man-power
to steam and finally to oil power and
electricity.

When Great Britain and the United

gle-the War of 1812-the Constitu-
ton really distinguished herself. At
the declaration Of war, the Constitu-
ton was in Washington Navy Yard.

Of Commodore John Rodgers at New

British ships and made one of the
greatest dashes ever recorded in naval
history, out-maneuvering the British
by good seamanship.
A GRAND blockade runner, the
- Constitution in this war was given
the nickname, "Old Ironsides." As
her seamen said, British shots bounced
of her sizes as though they were
made of iron.
Aside from her wartime record, the
Constitution was kept mighty busy In

number, share the belief of the
Missouri Representative, although the
first report on his bill made by the
House Committee on Naval Affairs
has this cryptic statement:
"The preservation of historic treas
ures has received little attention at the
hands of the American people. The
historic relics which are preserved in
the large cities of Europe are what
make these cities so interesting to
American visitors"
Near the docks of London is an
chored the oldest ship in the British
Navy Formerly used as a training
ship it is now preserved as a relic
and the good British people from all
parts of the kingdom come to see
what manner of ship sailormen of old
manned.
Until recent years, America has done
precious little to preserve its antiques
whether of land or sea. So Repre-
sentative Cochran believes the time
has come to go into action. He cites,
for instance, the record of the Con-
stitution.
After the close of the Revolutionary
War the United States was virtually
without q Navy. ALI ships had been
disposed Of by 1785.
Consequently, the Barbary pirates
preyed on American commerce. No
ship flying the American flag was safe
In Mediterranean waters.
To meet this state of affairs, Con-
gress in 1894 ordered the construction
of six frigateS. One Of these frigates
was the Constitution.
The Constitution at present is 139
years old. She was constructed at
Boston, her keel laid In 1894 and the

today from severe burns about the
arms, face, head and body.
A gasoline explosion made an In

the infant Robert was upstairs.
The officer ran through the burning
kitchen, up the stairs and brought
Robert to safety. The child, un-
harmed, was taken to Sibley, along
with his mother.
Adams, who directs traffic at Four

He winked at "the kids" in the court

Rieser demanded his conviction. Dur

place him on the stand to tell his
