The shrine (s placed directly above the entrance to the library. SHRINE WORTHY HISTORIC OF DOCUMENT Declaration Independence Given New Place of Honor. After nearly a century and a half the Declaration of Independence rests for the first time In a permanent shrine under the golden dome of the Library of Congress at Washington. Tellowed with age, nnd with the signatures slowly fading, the parchment on which the Declaration Is written has been kept for the last 80 years locked away In the Department of State. Very few people had ever seen It or knew what had become of It. But It was Impossible that this, the most precious document in American history, should be allowed to fade Into oblivion, and ot last steps were taken to gratify the wish of patriotic Americans to see the original fundamental document on which their independence rests. A handsome marble shrine was prepared for It In the Library of close to the national capltol, where, guarded In every possible way from further deterioration, It can be scon by future generations for centuries to come. Altar of Freedom. The shrine Is built like an altar piece, with the Declaration tn a marble case with heavy bronze doors, flanked on each side by an American eagle. Below It in a much larger case Two layers of Is the Constitution. heavy plate glass, with a film of specially prepared gelatin" between them, cover the two documents, and neutralize the harmful effects of the lights, so that they will not fade further. The small piece of parchment on which the Declaration Is written has had a most thrilling history, for the fate of the charter of liberty was closely connected with the vicissitudes of the early days of the young republic. Within a few months of Its signing In Philadelphia Its travels besan, for by December news Came that Washington had been forced back over the Delaware, and congress lost no time In moving to Baltimore, taking the parchment with It. When the tide of war swept the British back, congress returned to Philadelphia, only to leave again six niopths later, when General Howe advanced on that city. The Declaration was then housed for a time In Lancaster, Pn., and later In the courthouse at York, where it stayed till It was brought back to Philadelphia. Two days later, with the British defeated and liberty assured, there took place the first celebration of In day. with wild scenes of Jubilation and loud cheers for the "Perpetual and Undisturbed Independence of the United States of America." Again Forced to Move. For a time the document stayed In Philadelphia, but In ITS.'! It was taken on another Journey, this time to Princeton. N. J., and for a strange reason. Owing to the looseness of the Confederation, congress was unable to collect faxes, and could not raise money to pay tho army, which finally took matters Into l!i own hands. A sninll body of soldiers marched to Philadel phia and demanded their arrears of pry at the point of the bayonet, and congress, which hail successfully defied he powerful Hrlttsh empire, now d. I hat discretion was the better pert of valor, find beat u hasty relreat. They moved later to Annapolis, then b.H-to Treniou. N. J., and finally d the Kent of government to Nov York el!y. When (,", orj.'e Washington became Prcsid'-ntthe sstale documents were Con-cres- lr:m.-fi'To- , handed over to him, and later were taken back to Philadelphia. Then, when It was decided to build the national capital at Washington, the Declaration was taken to the city and kept there In various places while the state buildings were constructed. In 3814, It barely escaped destruction by the British, who after the battle of Bladensburg advanced on Washington and burned the capltol, the White House, and other government buildings. But fortunately Secretary of State Monroe realized In time that the British would take the city, and gave orders that the most Important documents In his charge should be removed as quickly as possible. The Declaration was packed In a wagon and taken with other documents up to Leesburg, Va., where it was hidden In a barn till the British had gyne and the danger was past Faded, but Legible. Back again came the Declaration to Washington, where It stayed till It was taken to Philadelphia for a time for the Centennial exposition. In the meantime, as might be expected, the fragile parchment had suffered quite a little damage from frequent handling, and its many, generally hurried, moves from one place to another. So bad did Its condition finally become that It was feared It would fall to pieces altogether, and It was withdrawn from the public view and locked up In a steel safe In the State department. Now once more, faded, but still legible, It has been brought out, nnd there In Its permanent resting place this small piece of parchment will stand as an enduring monument to remind the thousands who pass before It of the great principles of American liberty for which their fathers fought and died. iiiiiritfliiiiiMiii?iiiiiiiiiii)iriTrh'-n,T",nn"'"",- """" f' Fr m None of the Atlanta Crackers lay any claims to mathematical ability and for that reason none of them has attempted to explain one of the season's first escapes from Pandora's box of baseball freaks. It happened thuswise. Bill Calkins, the outfielder, was at bat with Alvarez, the Cuban twirlr, facing him. Waller Gilbert was at third, where he is supposed to be. Calkins lambasted a liner through the box with considerable gusto. Alvarez apparently elected to let It hit hlrn, which was what happened. The spheroid smacked the Cubanola pitcher right soundly on the knee, shied off toward Gilbert who pranced In a couple of steps and picked it out of the air. Calkins was pounding toward first, nnd so Walter hurled it to Itod at first, but that wasn't necessary at all, for Calkins was out when Gilbert bank off Acaught the lvarez' knee.

John L. Griffith, commissioner of athletics from the Western conference, said In an address before the American Physical Education association at Ees Moines. Major Griffith reviewed the development of baseball, which in Its "early days was played In towns, cities and cross roads throughout America." lie told of the period during which nearly every city or town "maintained or Attempted to maintain a professional bail club." "Tlits period Is passing," he declared. "The idea that the home boys would be stimulated by the deeds and accomplishments of the experts has proven false, because It has been found that the sports, primarily amateur, such as golf, tennis, football, basket ball and track, have been growing more rapidly without the stimulus if paid demonstrators," PI fiitt l The alJJ days, I have cars found that my instantly and pJ Py perfectly with UJ rioa Spark they're dependab12. tMrfc plug lwc dcmbU-Tibbe- d of US ilin cm -- it wiW' catMTualnn ana n tu tf tUctndt. dal a.W Chamrttm X" tot Ford Cr othf r than Fords The 1927. .Upton trophv races will be held In St. Peteisburg.
