To be sure Its walls are rising in Alexandria, Just over the Virginia line from the District of Columbia, but they will be plainly visible from Washington. Moreover, Alexandria, like Mount JVernon, is So closely associated with George Washington that the several memorials of %tlie Potomac Valley parts of a harmonious whole. In the near future there will be six of these memorials--Washington City Itself; the Washing, ton Monument; Mount Vernon, with its sacred tomb; the National Cathedral on iifount St. Alban, which George Washington specifically provided for in his directions to Major L'Knfant when he and the young French engineer laid out Washington in 1790; the George Washington National Auditorium, of which the foundations are completed, and the George Washington National Masonic Memorial. Nowhere in the. world is such a collection of truly magnificent memorials to the memory of a human being. And this $4,000,000 Masonic Memorial Is by no means the least of these. Here is Its aurpose; TK<J deorge Washington Masonic National memorial is primarily a memorial to Oeorge Washington, the man and the Mason. Ita form ia Inspired by the great towers built In the ancient . days of Greece and Home to mark the entrances to their harbors and from whose suriimitn permanent burning Sares that could be seen for iniles at sea guided the mariner on htB way. The great tower of the memorial represents to the world at large the guiding spirit of Washington in statesmanship and his revered prec«pts which for all time will set an example by whion the ship of state may direct Its course. tt will be indeed a landmark and the good American may catch afar Its pharos glow. For It will rise 200 feet high from Shooters' Hill on the Arlington Rklge. From a distance It will appear as a massive and lofty tower rising from a terraced, verdure-dad base. From Its topmost colonnade the visitor may view the Potomac Valley from Washington to Mount Vernon, W which Washington passed most of his life. Indeed, the thirty-two acres of its grounds wece once owned by Washington himself. The corner stone of this Masonic Memorial and shrine for American Freemasonry was laid last fall. President Coolidge, though not a Mason, spread the first mortar with the trowel used by George Washington September 18, 1793, In laying the corner stone of the capitol building at Washington. Members of the cabinet, official personages, , Masonic dignitaries and an army of representatives of Masonic organizations throughout the country participated In elaborate ceremonies. Rt. Rev. James Edward Freeman, Episcopal bishop of AVashington, delivered an eulogy to the nation's first president. George Washington became a charter member of Alexandria Lodge In 1778, shortly after the apr plication for a charter had been made to the grand lodge In Virginia. Upon the walls of the lodge still hangs the document containing his name, signed by Edmund Randolph, governor of Virginia. He served as master for twenty months, being reelected to succeed himself. But for years prior to that time he had been associated with the lodge and had been elected as honorary member shortly .after his return from the Revolution, when Ihe lodge was within the Jurisdiction of the provincial_ "grand lodge of Pennsylvania. ' After Washington's death numerous relics, many of which have been associated with his Masonic Ufer passed into possesion of the lodge. It has been the greats pride of the Alexandria- Washington Lodge to have assembled so many mementoes of the public and private life of the first president, and by Inheritance, tradition and affiliation It Is peculiarly equipped to have inaugurated -the movement for the memorial. A disastrous fire, however, occurred In May,, 1871, In which were lost many valuable relics as-" sociuted with the general's public career, with his contacts with notable men of the day and with his family life. Although Alexandria cam^into ptysesslon of the Confederate forces during the Civil war, no article was touched. For forty years thereafter the collection was closed to the public. But in 1907 the display was placed under the custody of a member of the lodge and thrown open to the public. In- 1919 the city council of Alexandria set apart the entire third story of the west wing of the city hall • for the Alexandria-Washington Lodge Museum. Doubling Up * teacher of music in a public school was trying to Impress upon her pupils the meaning of f and If in a song that they were about to learn. After explaining the first sign, she said: "Now, children, what do you say; if f means forte, what does ff means?" "Eighty 1" shouted one enthusiastic pupil. PasMion Fruit Passion fruit has long been papal# In Australia for flaeoring Ice creaii and cold drinks, being refreshingly delicious. Here in California the vines have been used in screen building^ and some few for commercial purposes, but it is Just recently that th« cultivation of the passion vine has been begun on an extensive scale. lfore than" fourteen yfcarg ago the sentiment surronndlng the preservation of these memorabilia Was crystallized in the desire for a permanent memorial. The movement was started by Alexandria- Washington Lodge. It was taken up by the Miisonlc fraternity of the country and a national association, known as the George Wasldngton Masonic National Memorial Association, came into being. Its first president was Thomas Shyrock, .who had been grand master of Maryland for thirtytwo years. He remained president of the memorial association until his death. The present president is Louis A. Watres of Pennsylvania, and J. Claude Kelper, Washington, D. C., is secretary and treasurer. For this great memorial $4,000,000 Is being subscribed. This will Include an endowment, the Interest on which Is to provide for upkeep for. the centuries to come. There are now about 3,000,000 Freemasons in the United States, belonging to 17,000 blue lodges. The edifice will be sui rounded by a series of artistically planted landscapes. It will be reached bj broad walks and stone steps ascending through Mven successive terraces. The edifice will be 180 feet in width by 200 feet in depth and of granite. < The very heart and center of the memorial will be a great atrium, 70 feet wide and 100 feet deep, tn the arched recess of which will be set the memorial itself, an imposing statue of George Washington. This spacious hall will rise to a height of 64 feet, ascending by a clerestory above the surrounding portion of the building. It will be flanked toy great Ionic columns 40 feet high and surrounded \ v a number of rooms devoted to Masonic Interests. On the walls, mural paintings, executed by •ome of the most famous artists of the present day, will be representative of the life of Washington. The entrance of the building will be a stately slX-column portico of pure Doric design, contrasting Interestingly with the plain, unbroken side walls of the Masonic rooms. The memorial hall ^iii be reached through the portico by gradual •teps. Rising above the memorial hall and forming, a . second story of the tower will "be the George Washington Masonic Memorial Museum, 50 by 75 .feet, with lofty ceiling and fine light. It will be reached by both stairs and elevators. The third level, which is above the museum, will be devoted to a great Masonic library. Above this will be a covered" observation platform. The three levels ! will be screened by stately colonnades, and rising •hove the main hall each will he smaller than |he, level beneath It. *- . - -There will be incorporated In the building an «x- • act replica of the original room In which George Washington occupied the chair as master. It will be located In the southeast corner of the new memorial building on the ground floor. Even the wall paper used in the old lodge room where George Washington sat as worshipful master, being re-elected to the office on St. John's day, December 27, 1788, will be faithfully reproduced. • There will be a states' memorial room, where every state In the Union, through Its lodge, may bave an exhibit, a tablet or some display characteristic of the Masonry of the state and also Of •.Washington. The building will contain many memorabilia tlmately associated with Washington. One of tne * priceless relics, a letter in his own hand, under date of December 28, 1788, from Mt.

Itf hands still point to the minute and hour, 10:20 p. m, Possibly the most-prized of the relics is the Ma* sonic apron worn by Washington, then president, when he laid the corner stohe of the capitol. It If said to be of cream-colored satin, with the Amerl« - can and French flags intertwined, heavily fringed and embroidered with gold. A beehive and fairies adorn the center. This apron was presented to the Lodge in 1812 by Lawrence Lewis, nephew of Oeorge Washington and husband of his adopted daughter Nellie Custls. Lafayette was allowed to wear it In 1825. Doubtless Alexandria Lodge knows how this apron came Into the possession of Washington. None the less, this writer, who Is not a Mason, Is mightily Interested In a passage he has run across in the "Memoirs of Klkanah Watson" (1856). Wat-« son was a New Englander who traveled abroad during the Kevolution in connection with the prellmlnary negotiations for peace. Here is the passage : Tha following winter (1T81-I), wishing to paj some mark of respect to our beloved Washington, I employed. In conjunction With my friend, M. Cossoul, nuns in one of the convents at Nantes to prepare some elegant Masonic ornaments and gav« them a plan for combining the American ana French flags on the apron designed for his use. They were executed In a superior and expensive style. We transmitted them to America, accom# panled by an address and received from him a beautiful and appropriate acknowledgment. Th$ following are copies of our letter and the reply. Is this the apron so highly prized by Alexandria" Lodge? Evidently it was "expensive" and certain^ ly it bore the flags of America and France. In any event, the letters are Interesting. The first it addressed, "Most Illustrious and Respected Broth* er," and reads, in part: Your glorious career will not bo oohllned to tlHj1 protection of American liberty, but its ultimate effect will extend to the whole human family, sine* Providence has evidently selected you as an .nstrtl«~ ment In His hands to fulfill Hin eternal decrees. It Is to you, therefore, the glorious orb of America, we presume to offer Masonic ornaments, as aft emblem of your virtues. May the grand Archlteot of the universe be the Guardian of your precious days, for the glory of the Western Hemisphere and the entire universe. Such are the vows of_ thosewho have the favor to be by all the know# numbers. Your affectionate brothers, WATSON A COSSOUU General Washington's reply Is dated, "State of New-York, August 10, 1782," and says, In part£ after stating the ornaments to be "Elegant": - If my endeavors to avert the evil with which the country was threatened, by a deliberate plan of tyranny, should be crowned with the successr that Is wished, the praise Is due' to the Orand Architect of the universe, who did not see fit t« suffer his suDerstructurfe of justice to be subjected, to the ambition of the Prinees of this world, or to the rod of oppression in the hands of any power upon earth. For your affectionate vows permit me to be grateful, and offer mine for true brothers In all parts of the world, and to assure you of the alo* cerlty with which 1 am, Yours GEO. WASHINGTON. ~ Alexandria is especially fitting as the site for this- memorial. Washington surveyed some of Its' present streets. It was from Gadsby's tavern Iti 1754 that he recruited his first command" and marched from there to the Battle of Great' Meadows. A year later he received his commls* sion as major under the ill-starred Braddock III the same place. On leaving for his first lnaugura» tlon In New York he delivered a farewell address to his friends and neighbors from the tavern steps. He founded and. endowed its first free school* the Alexandria academy. Soon after Christ cburcli was completed, in 1773, Washington boughtf a pew there and became a regular attendant.
