This material will very likely be placed before the 30,000,000 school children in the -United States in the form of programs, pageants and plays to be given on dates of great historical interest. In this way the children will be impressed with the significance of Washington's winter quarters at Valley Forge, the battles of Trenton and Yorktown and many other places in which Washington showed his heroism and loyalty to the cause of America. His boyhood days, when he learned the lessons which were later to prove so valuable to him; the respect he always had for his mother and her teachings; in fact, the example of obedience to authority which characterized his entire life--all these things will be pointed out and stressed. Each schoolhouse in tfle country will be presented with a portrait of washington, and it is expected that the American Flag will fly from these buildings during the entire span of the celebration in 1932.

Various means are now being devised to utilize the participation of all commercial and civic bodies. Calendars, posters and window displays depicting some of the outstanding events in the life of Washington will be in evidence everywhere during the entire year. In order to guarantee the historical accuracy of all publications sponsored by the commission, Professor Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard, a member of the commission, has been designated as its historian. Professor f!art will be depended upon to check the historical correctness of all printed material. Besides this function, the historical department of the commission is preparing a series of pamphlets on the various phases of the life of George Washington. There will be some sixteen of these pamphlets. Each is being prepared by a historical expert under the editorship of Professor Hart. Two of these pamphlets will be written by the associate directors of tbe commission. Colonel Grant, an army engineer, will write on "Washington, the Engineer and City Builder;" and Congressman Bloom will prepare the paper on "Race Elements of Washington's The corn and the sugar beet are Time."

Under the direction of Mrs. John Dickinson Sherman, special attention is being given to activities particularly appropriate for the participation of the various women's organizations throughout the country. The life of Washington's mother and the importance of the influence she exerted in molding the life of her famous son are to be presented in a collection of interesting and authentic material. Complete programs, depicting the life, character and achievements of George Washington, have been prepared under Mrs. Sherman's supervision for use by women's organizations during the year 1932.

"We Dress the Best Dressed Men in Town" MIDVALE By G. M. KILBOURN The Highest Houae in the United States few Americans, probably, V ERY have ever heard that the roo:!' of the United States Is really a root; that 1t is, in fact, the roof of a house. Every schoolboy has heard that the highest point in the United States proper is Mount Whitney, Cali:!'., which reaches an elevation of 14,501 teet. But only a few scientists, mules, and mountain climbers have taken the trouble to see if there is anything on top o! the mountain ; those few have been rewarded, however, with the Information that on top of the mountain Is a three-room stone house, and on top o! the house a steel roof, with a bit of galvanized iron stovepipe protruding which, technically, Is the top of the United States. The scientists Inspired and dedicated the house, the mules lifted the ten tons ot material and apparatus used in its construction nearly three mil es Into the sky, and such mountain climbers as have been able to walk, grin, or Looking Up Lone Pine Valley Mount Whitney. to moan after surmounting the last ledge have been doing their summit grinning and grunting in or near the cabin In the twenty-one years past. The idea o! building an observation and shelter house on Mount Whitney was advanced by Director W. W. Campbell o! the Lick observatory, who wished to observe the spectrum of Mars !rom a point where interference by the water vapor in the air would be least. Hoping to make the observation In September, 1909, when Mars would be near the earth and high above the horizon, Director Campbell climbed the peak in August, 1008, to determine what size instruments could be carr-led up on pack animals. With him went Director C. G. Abbot o! the Smithsonian institution observatory, who was interested In high-altitude studies of solar radiation. They agreed that the propo11ed study of Mars In 1909 would be fruit"less unless protection from storms on the peak were provided, as the party would want to stay a week or more. The house was built during the month o! August, 1909, under auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, by G. F, Marsh o! Lone Pine, Call{., and four workmen. The old trail up the east side o! the mountain, from Lone Pine to Whitney pass, is in places only a temporary zigzag on a precipitous rocksllde, and Mr. Marsh and his friends had to give a benefit ball In Lone Pine to get the trail repaired before his mules could begin the 11,000,foot climb. Once the workmen were panic-stricken In an electrical storm on the peak; once the packers went on strike; once Marsh and others were snow-blinded. "Marsh worked at all kinds o! jobs him self,'' related DIrector Abbot's official report later, "cooking, breaking stone, carrying stone, carrying snow for water. rivetIng and cementing, as well as general bossing. He will never get paid In this world !or the work he did on that house." Director Campbell and five other scientists arrived at the ghelter house on Saturday, August 28, In a sleet storm which did not clear awa.v until the following Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday, however, beautiful weather continued, and Doctor Campbell and his friends obtained evidence that there Is very little, I:!' any, water npor on Mars. Mount Whitney Is now a part of Sequoia National park, and the park service Is constructing a trail up the west side of the peak. Already completed to within 2,000 yards of the summit, It will enable horse parties as well as hikers to reach the top. ((<;}. 1930.
