BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer
WASHINGTON, July 19. —Your,
my and every American’s Capital
City is right in the height of its en
tertaining season.
And, to the casual observer,
who has lived in Washington for
a term of years, this season is the
banner one for auto tourist
parties.
On every road entering the
capital, and from every nook and
corner of the country, they come.
“Washington or bust!” some of
the touring parties’ banners read.
They reach Washington, they see
the sights, and they return homo
—busted.
But, in fairness to Washington,
I might add that this all depends
on the tourist himself. The city
doesn’t cost any more to see than
any r other city.
* * *
One of the most popular places
of interest is the Washington monu
ment. W’hen you’re in Washington
you can ride to the top of it for
25 cents. And you can get the
best birdseye view of the city that
it is possible to get.
If you’re not in Washington,
here> are some facts that you can
have for nothing:
The monument, erected as a na
tional memorial to the “Father of
His Country,” is 655 feet high. The
base is 55 feet square, with walls
15 feet thick and the total weight
of the structure is 90,854 tons.
A stairway, as well as an elevator,
runs to the top. At every landing
on the stirway there ai e granite*
and marble blocks, presented by
the various states, and by various
organizations.
The monument was dedicated on
Feb. 22, 1885. It cost .$1,200,000.
* ♦ ♦
Mount Vernon, another popular
spot to tourists, is the home and
burial place of George Washingon,
located in Fairfax county, Virginia,
15 miles below Washington.
In 1856 the estate was purchased
from the descendants of Washing
ton for $200,000. This amount
was raised by subscription, under
the auspices of the “Ladies’ Mount,
Vernon Association,” and it now
belongs to the nation.
There is a 25 cent admission fee
. which is used , pay Yqf, the . jm
keep of the property.’ 5 ' ’
Arlington Cemetery is seldom
overlooked by the visitor. It is lo
cated across the Potomac from
Washington and was formerly the
home of Robert E. Lee. It was
seized by the government during the
Civil War and made the National
Cemetary.
There are close to 19,000 graves
on the grounds.
Banking very high in visitor in
terest is the Lincoln Memorial
which was dedicated May 30, 1922.
It rost $2,939,720.
• Thtf columns' of' tlrcf icelohiiadep
36 in number, are made of Colc
jrado-Yule marble and are 44 feet
high and 7 feet 4 inches in diame
ter at the base. The building is
122 feet high. The statue, without
pedestal, is 21 feet high and weighs
150 tons.
The figure of Lincoln is 19 feet
from the top of the head to the
sole of the foot. The head mea-
sures 3 feet in height,‘The statue
is of Georgia marble and the ped
estal and base oi Tennessee mar
ble. It took 'the sculptor four
years to produce the statu 0 .

There are numerous other
places and monuments of interest
in the Capital City, but the four
mentioned above rank top notch.
The visitor who misses any one of
them, hasn’t seen Washington,

Clinch, to amend the code with re
gard to control of school systems in
incorporated towns of less than 4 ; -
000 population. Th e effect of the
bill would be that when towns hav
ing local school systems are taken
into an independent school district,
authority to control the schools
would be left with the city authori
ties, .regardless of the town’s popu
lation. The law now provides for
this condition only in towns of 4,-
000 or more inhabitants.
Chief interest among new bills in
troduced centered on a bill by
Holden, of Clarke, and others,
which would impose a luxury tax
on amusements and soft drinks, the
proceeds to be equally divided be
tween the common schools and the
University of Georgia and its
branches.
Representative Holden, speaking
of his bill, said he did not think
it would work any hardship on any
individuals or business interests,
and that it would furnish revenue
to relieve a desperate situation in
the education institutions of the
state.
Mr. Holden pointed out that the
proposed luxury tax is merely the
sable tax that the federal govern
ment placed on hie same classes
prior to several weeks ago. The
tax on soft drinks is to be paid
by the manufacturer or wholesaler,
just as it was paid to the federal
government, and Mr. Holden be
lieves that the fact that there has
been reduction in the prices of
soft drinks or fruit juicies to the
consumer * or the bottler since the
V'‘ ( 'f ? lIW l 1 W tax > . was removed;- proves
that the state tax likewise!* will fail
on the manufacturer alonf.
I would not be in favor of any
ax that would have to be paid by
the bottlers,” said Mr. Holden, ‘for
we know that they are already cir
lying all thev possible can in taxes.”

RESERVE SYSTEM

Ninety-Three Member Banks
Severed Connections During
Three Months This Year
WASHINGTON, July 19.—Offi
cial figures just given out in Wash
ington show that the Federal Re
serve Banking system sustained a
loss of 93 member banks during the
first three months of this year’s op
eration, and there is considerable
speculation as to the cause of it .
In his attack in the senate on
the Federal Reserve Banking sys
tem during the past session, Sena
tor Heflin took the position that
he was not opposed to the system,
but that he was opposed to certain
features of its administration Which
he bitterly criticized.
Among other things, Senator
Heflin held that there was too much
politics among certain officers and
attorneys of the system, and de
claring that politics and business did
not mix, be said that if the attor
neys of the Federal Reserve sys
tem were going inoo politics, the
system ought to go out of business.

W. Calvin Chestnut Tells of Bit
terness and Animosities of
Famous Gatherings
BALTIMORE, July 19.—The fa
mous Democratic Convention of
1860 at the old Front Street Thea
ter, Baltimore, was outdone in “bit
terness and personal animosity” by
the assembly at Madison Square
Garden, New York, according to
Calvin Chestnut, father of W. Cal
vin Chestnut, a Baltimore lawyer
Mr. Chestnut, who is 78 years old
asd lives at 1214 Madison avenue,
was a page at the 1860 convention
when it came to the Front Street
Theater, after 57 ballots had failed
at Charleston, S'. C. He ‘attended’’
the late convention through radio
loud speakers.
“The fight in 1860, when Doug
las was nominated on the fifty
ninth ballot, remains clear in my
memory,” Mr. Chestnut said. It
was a bitter fight and full of per
sonalities. The dispute over Doug
las and Breckenridge was so bitter
that I remember many people fear
ed bloodshed would occur before a
candidate was picked.
.1, !*Thc . impression ‘ galped by a
long-distatfcb .toteerVef through ra
dio .and press is that the 1924 con
vention was even mor e bitter tjhan
that of 1860,” Mr. Chestnut added;
“The fight seemed ' sustained by
personal animus and for petty rea
sons. There seemed no need to ex
tend the voting to 103 ballots.
‘The delay seemed disgraceful.
But a good selection was finally
made and the party split that seem
ed certain was averted. Davis’ rec
ord is extraordinary. Both he and
Coolidge are good men.
“It is sai'd,’ he went bn reihipfec
