Germ over the possibility of obtain
ing housing accommodations for

ployes due here within the next
two months unless residents open
UP" their homes to them.
Since the majority of the new
workers are young girls. many of
whom have finished high school
this month and have never been
away from home, officials appealed
to homeowners not only to list va
cant rooms with the housing centers
but also to help the girls become
accustomed to life in wartime

Mystery of Underground Monument
Solved-Ifs Geodetic Elevation Guide
Reporter, Comeromua
Confirm Existence of
Miniature of Shaft

I'VE lifted the manhole cover
and there it. was-the Original
Washington Monument"
The friends of Mrs. Sherman
Burt, 4l01 Davis place NV. were
a bit skeptical when Mrs. Burt re-
alted how she and some relatives
had seen an underground version
of the Monument, not more than
SO feet from the famous structure.
1t seems that just as they were
leaving the Monument one day last
week an elderly man approached
the group and blandly inquired If
they would like to see "the original
monument"
They followed the stranger to q
point about so feet south of the
Monument. He pointed to q man.
hole cover.
Lift 1t and see for yourself" he
said.
Mrs. Burt said they lifted the cover
and were amazed to see what ap-
peared to be a smaller version Of
the monument. The mysterious
stranger sauntered away after ex-
planning that the structure had been
the original monument but had sunk
into the marshy grounds.
One Of Mrs. Burt's friends tele-
phoned The Star and suggested the
mystery of the underground struc-
ture be investigated. A reporter
and photographer were dispatched
to meet Mrs. Burt.
Removal OF the manhole cover
revealed an obelisk like the monu-
ment on a miniature scale. Because
of the narrowness of the concrete
well surrounding the granite struc-
ture, 1t was difficult to estimate its
depth.
In an effort to clear up what
now looked like first-rate mystery, j
several old-time Washington resi-
dents were called. But it. seemed
none Of them had ever heard of
the miniature monument.
A number of Government agen-
cies were called, all to no avail.
Then, some one had the idea OF
calling the Office Of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey and within few
minutes the Mystery Of the Un-
derground Monument" was solved.
It seems the obelisk is q bench
mark" used rs control point from
which the department can set up
their instruments to check any un-
due settlement Of the monuments
structure. It also Is used as an
elevation guide.
The structure Is is feet high, 8
feet broad ut the base and IA feet
