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, pfflpiwr TH W LUMPS Continued from page one 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.” SEPTIC SPOISONING IS FATAL TO JUHAN MACON, July 19.—W. J. Juhan. 65 president of the Unibn Dry Goods company, of Macon, and one of the city’s best known business died Inis afternoon following an attack of septic poisoning. Mr. Juhan was widely known in middle Georgia and the eastern markets, to which he had been making regular trips for many years. He had been in failing health for about a* year, and was operated on a few. months ago in New York, but apparently recovered. His last ill ness developed a month ago.

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. • Just what he had in mind he did -proportion of nourishment and care.

RECENT CUHIM BIIMUlffl 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 ently, “that-only tWo 'ballots bf the 1860 dbnventloh Were cast in Balti more after the adjournment from Charleston, S. C.

The other faction wanted Breckenridge, according to my mem ory.” , Besides attending thb 1860 con vention and hearing this year’s con ference at Sun Square, Mr. Chest nut attended several sessions of the 1912 convention here.
