The ceremony is to be- gin at 2. Former Governor A. O. Eberhart of Minnesota will be the principal speaker. Masters of Masonic lodges in Evanston and neighboring communities have been invited to make short talks. Hundreds of Masons are ex- pected to attend the dedication, and the general public is in- vited. The cemetery is on the Green Bay road just west of North Chicago. The monument is considered one of the most beautiful and imposing in America. It was designed by a 32nd degree Mason and carries out the symbolism of the Masonic order. It stands on a slope which faces the east. It is composed of three steps sur- mounted by three columns of pure Doric design. Masonic emblems are carved in the steps and in the architrave on the east side. The architrave on the west front bears the inscription, "To the 'Glory of Almighty God and in Memory of Those Who Have Passed the Unseen Portals." . Six carloads of granite went into the making of the monu- ment, at a cost of $20,000. The bottom step is a single slab of stone, 20 feet long, 6 feet wide and a foot thick. The next two steps are carved of one piece. The fluted columns also are monoliths, 3 feet in diameter at the base and 20 feet high. The largest single piece of stone in the monument is the cap stone which weighs 29,000 pounds. It took a crew of stone fitters with a derrick four days to put it in place. The Masonic section of the cemetery, like every other section, is laid out on the lines of a beautifully landscaped park with no resemblance to the traditional cemetery. Masses of flowering shrubbery and contrasting and blending foliage in every direction catch and at the same time rest the eye. At this season the place is thickly festooned with the white blooms of spirea. Seven varieties of spirea are planted and their blossom- ing times follow each other in succes- sion. Other shrubs likewise come into flower at different times so that through the spring, summer and autumn there is always a wealth of color. Contrasts in the masses of foliage are accomplished by the use of golden elders, red maples, purple leaved plums and elms, and many shades of ever- greens. In all, more than seventy va- rieties of trees flourish in the cemetery. In certain sections no stock grave markers are allowed. Tablets set flush with the level of the lawn are used so that the vistas of garden and park are not broken. In the sections given to the largest lots, flowering shrubs and trees are used to set off the individual plots, giving each a seclusion and beauty all its own. The North Shore cemetery was founded in 1917 by John Western, a former Evanston resident. Citizenship Course Is Boosted at C. M. T. Camp Maj. Gen. William S. Graves, the commanding general of the Sixth Corps Area, with headquarters at 1819 West Pershing road, Chicago, in speak- ing of the Citizens' Military Training camps to be held in the Sixth Corps Area, emphasized the very great bene- fits to young men who attend these camps in the training they receive in the citizenship course at the camps. Special attention is given to citizenship training in all of the Citizens' Military Traning camps, but particularly to the candidates in the basic or first year's course. There are still vacancies for young men in the C. M. T. camps in the Sixth Corps Area, it is explained, and those who are interested in securing an as- signment for the earlier camps that open at Camp Custer, Mich., Jefferson Barracks, Mo., and Camp Sparta,Wis., on July 8 should make application at once, as the time when applicants can be accepted for the camps is limited. Application blanks and further infor- mation can be secured by addressing the Commanding General, Sixth Corps Area, at 1819 West Pershing road, Chi- cago.
