JeweIed Eggs at Easter

According to Herbert P. Whitlock,
curator of gems Of the American
Museum of Natural History, the
custom of exchanging eggs at
Easter was a very old one in i'm
perial Russia. According to an an
cient legend, Mary Magdalene gave
the Roman emperor, Tiberius,
hens egg dyed red as a symbol Of
the risen Christ. Up to the close
Of the World war, the great mass Of
the Russian people yearly gave one
another hens eggs dyed red.
Among the weather. class, eggs
carved from the variously colored
Russian decorative stones were
used. The emperor, Alexander III,
inaugurated the custom Of present
ing to the empress at every Easter
tide a specially elaborate and costly
egg designed by the court jeweler.

CALEB: LIFETIME DEVOTION
Evening star., 1938-05-08

SHOULD OLD INSPIRE NEW?
Patriots While Modern Capital Suffers From Spirited
Controversy Over Form of His Memorial
and Selection of Site.

only two miles from Monticello, at
Shadewell. Jefferson was born.
The foundation has placed an appro-
pirate monument at the site of the
house.
The foundation was in the forefront
Of the movement to erect a memorial
mere to Jefferson. Congress created
the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Com
mission in June. 1884. Representative
John ]. Boylan, Democrat, of New
York, member of the Board of Gov
ernors of the foundation, is the COM
missions chairman.
The foundation is looking forward
to securing the first two new nickels
to be placed in circulation in the fall,
for it wants these to be framed and
hung at Monticello. The new nickel
will bear Jefferson's likeness and on
the reverse will be a representation of
Monticello.
When the foundation was organized.
IN 1923, a contract was entered into
with Jefferson M. Levy, owner Of
Monticello, to purchase the historic
residence, the Jefferson relics and 658
acres for $500,000 The cash payment
was 100000. Mr.. Gibboney says
that 100000 of second mortgage
bonds were duly paid and the first
mortgage has been reduced to $50, 900.
Payments totaling $25,00O were paid
on this last year.
Postmaster General James A. Far
ley is to issue shortly a new 3-cent
postage stamp bearing the likeness of
Thomas Jefferson. thus bringing the
author of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence again into the popular eye
And thus, while the problem of a
fitting memorial to Thomas Jefferson
here has been stalled for some time,
the visitors continue to climb the
mountain to Monticello: the Director
of the Mint is making preparations to
issue the Jefferson nickel in the fall,
and the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing is getting ready to turn the
presses to produce another philatelic
gem to honor Jefferson.
Although Washington yet lacks a
Thomas Jefferson memorial, 1l2 years
after he was buried at Monticello,
latter-day men are turning their at
tention, as never before, to his memory

presented as a gift to the Nation by
the association.
John Russell Pope and his friends,
twice thwarted in his attempts to To-
cate monumental memorial, designed
by his hands. in Potomac Park, saw in
the Thomas Jefferson memorial q
grand opportunity to realize his am
bition. Consequently, he designed the
memorial which has since been the
subject Of so much dispute. To the
criticism that his design Of the
Thomas jefferson memorial was too
similar to the central feature of the
Mellon National Gallery of Art, Mr..
Pope said that while two gentlemen,
walking down the street. might look
alike, they have entirely different
personalities

Potomac Park He won the award in
an architectural competition in 1925,
and his plan provided for "a shaft Of
water rising from the center of a
basin 600 feet in diameter. flanked by
two curving colonnades." The asso-
citation rejected an earlier Fine Arts
Commission suggestion that a memo
rial be placed on "a commanding site
on Sixteenth street extended, between
Alaska avenue and Rock Creek Park" +"
The Theodore Roosevelt Memorial
Association shelved Pope's plan and
created the living memorial to 'T. r."
in Analostan Island, believing that this
better expressed the former Presidents
love of nature and his renown as an
explorer and hunter. The name of the
island was charged by law to Theo-
dore Roosevelt Island, and this was

and the things he achieved for
America.
RUT there is far deeper human
interest story in Pope's designing
of the Thomas Jefferson memorial, in
the opinion of keen students of WASH
ington's latter-day history.
For Pope designed a Lincoln memor.
ial for the Potomac Park site, only to
have the award made to Henry Bacon.
Pope also drew designs for a Lincoln
memorial, to be placed in Meridian
Hill Park and on the grounds of the
Soldiers Home. None of these was
accepted finally.
But Pope also drew designs for a
memorial to President Theodore
Roosevelt. and this was to have been
placed in the Tidal Basin area. in West

was partly to blame for any shortcom-
ings in the societies by not offering
their help to them. He gave an ac-
count of his own experience in the
fraternity for which he acted as
faculty member, recounting the re-
forms he had induced the boys to
adopt.
One Citizens Association went on
record as opposed to fraternity oppo-
sition, calling it too much paternal-
ISM" A member of that organization
stated, ANY persons-whether boys,
girls, men or women, have a right to
organize themselves as they see fit"
Meanwhile other associations and
clubs were giving active support to
leaders on either side. Then, a week
from the first hearing, they came en-
masse to the Franklin School to tes-
tify in the trial of secret high school
organizations. The crowd was so
large that it had to be transferred to
the Thomson School auditorium.
The "con" forces were superior in
organization and preparation this
time; it was definitely day for the
frats. Speakers presented the good
points of secret clubs, ending by asking
the board for supervision from the
faculty, something which they said
they had wanted for many years. An
alumna member of a sorority at Gen.
tral spoke thusly: Secrecy seems to
be one Of the bugaboos. This is the
least thing in our societies. We have
three secrets, our hand clasp, our rit-
ual and the password into our meet
ings."
The third and final meeting open
to the public was a reversal of the
second. It seemed that the societies
would be abolished. While the frat
people presented good defense, it
was undeniable that in secret societies
were found evils detrimental to the
schools, And the majority sof people
who wanted them modified demanded
nothing less than the expulsion Of the
fraternities and sororities.
Subsequently it was announced to
the high school students who were
fraternity and sorority members on
December 81, 1916, that their organi-
nations would cease to exist.
But one thing was forgotten In the
Evening star., 1938-05-08

The matter was brought to public
attention in November when special
fraternity committee from the Board
of Education met with the high school
principals when, they announced. 'the
question would be completely thrashed
out" The principle difference of opin-
ion at this meeting was whether
greater good would be accomplished by
an effort to legislate the high school
frats out of existence or to let them
continue under certain regulations
and restrictions. During the six
weeks of debate. however, the num-
ber Of adherents to the latter plan
dwnindled.
Public hearings were held by the
board at Franklin School. Officers,
teachers, fraternity and sorority men,
bers, anti-frat students, parents and
interested citizens all came to put in
their words pro and con.
Objections to the frats were numer-
Gus, but most of them could be classed
under the six charges made by the
Parent Teacher Association. They
were, in brief, as follows: 1. That
they are undemocratic and for the
privileged few; 2, that racial and
religious factors are considered in
electing members: 3, that faculty ad-
visers to frats as well as the members
Of the organizations are compelled to
take an oath to forward the interests
Of the particular organization; 4, that
fraternity politics are brought into
class elections, athletic and other
school activities, involving the keeping
Of many good athletes OF the field
because they are non-frat men; 5,
that several secret societies are sup
porting frat houses; 6, that friction
between frat and non-frat pupils Is
constantly developing.
The first hearing. though open, was
dominated mainly by the testimony Of
teachers. The objection most Of the
teachers made was that Of fraternity
politics. Mr.. L. U. IAmpson, faculty
adviser in athletics at Central, told
Of how the privilege of electing officers
Of teams had to be taken away from
the students because the fraternities
and sororities controlled the elections.
On the other hand, Mr.. A. b. Many

SIX HUSBANDS WON BY MAIL

POCAHONTAS, Ark, July H. A strange story of multiple mar riages was revealed here with the arrest of Mrs. Cora T. Hebner on a murder charge.
 Mrs. Hebner, authorities said, has married six mail-order husbands without going to the trouble of di- vorcing any of them.
 She is accused now of having murdered the first one, Will Heb- ner, whom she married thirty-five years ago in St. Louis.
 She claims that after their mar- riage Hebner brought another wom- an to their home and introduced the newcomer as his nineteenth wife.
 The murder charge arose against her after the bones of man were found on her farm here. The fifty year-old woman said she could not say definitely whether the skeleton was that of any of her husbands.
 Mrs. Hebners husbands, author ities say, were Guy w. Butts, Ed ward Treuba, Otto Behn, Joe Hei- ker and a man from Montana, whose name she can not remember.

GIN MARRIAGE
 LAW KNOCKING
 WEDDING TRADE

NEW YORK, July IT. = New Yorks drive against cocktail mar riages has caused 10 per cent drop in weddings here during the eight months the three-day we'd ding license law has been in effect.
 A further diminution of mar riages is expected when the new astrological blood test law is en- forced here beginning July l. This law is intended to prevent the wed- ding of persons suffering from syphilis.
 These facts were disclosed in a survey made.
 Another of the important changes is that more persons are now be- ing married by ministers. Mar riages in the municipal chapel have fallen off at least 30 per cent, First Deputy City Clerk Philip A. Hines of the New York bureau, explained recently:
 These changes are largely due to the fact that people don't come in from other states to be married as they used to. If they have to wait three days here-they might just as well wait at home!"
 And the Westchester Gret n a Greens? What falling off was there at Armonk and Harrison, the scene of numerous 3-o'clock- in-the morn ing booze weddings?
 The drop there is nothing short of spectacular! Marriages have dropped 75 per cent at Armonk and 50 per cent at Harrison!
 But has the three day law stop ped the near-dawn marriages? Ii has not. Police Judge Leo Mintzei of Harrison said today:
 T was awakened for weddings foul times last Saturday night! But think the laws good idea, the type of people who come to be married has changed. Not so many couples from night clubs"
