Washington Latter *
Settles Dispute
e 7
New York, July 6.?A controversy
n as to the religious convictions -of
George Washington?or lack of them
?has lately been waged in various
parts of the country. It is not a new
discussion. A letter written by" Washington,
however, has lately been discovered
which is timely on the 146th
anniversary of the nation's biclh and
gives unmistakable evidence that,
whatever his denominational affiliations,
the Father of His Country had
a Arm faith in the Christian doctrine.
In 1789, Washington having just
been elected president, the general
convention of the Episcopal church,
then in session, adopted resolutions
warded, to Washington at Ind^pendwarded
to Washington at Independence
hall, Philadelphia, from Old
Christ church, where the church convention
was sitting. Washington replied
under dat? of August 19, 1789,
in a communication in which the religious
note is clear. This letter, which
has just been found in the records <?f
the Episcopal church, is as follows:
"To the Bishops, Clergy and Laity of
the Protestant Episcopal Church in
the States of New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia and South Carolina,
in General Convention Assembled;
"Gentlemen: I sincerely thank you
for your affectionate congratulations
on my election to the chief magistracy
of the United States.
"After having received from my
fellow citizens in general the most lib^
eral treatment?after having found
|. them disposed to contemplate in the
moot ?
...... ..a.ku.ii.5 (luiui. ui view mi) performance
of my military services and
the manner of' my retirement at the
close of the war?I feel that I have a
right to console myself, in my present
arduous undertaking, with the hope
that they will still he inclined to put
the most favorable construction on
the motives which may influence me
in the future public transactions.
"The satisfaction arising from the
indulgent opinion entertained by the
American people of my conduct, will,
I trust, be some security for preventing
me from doing anything which
might justly incur the forfeiture of
that opinion. And the consideration
that human happiness and moral duty
are inseparably connected will always
continue to prompt me to promote the
progress of the former by inculcating
the purities.
'On this occasion it would ill become
me to conceal the joy I have felt
in perceiving the fraternal affection
which appears to increase every day
among the friends of genuine relibion.
It affords edifying prospects, indeed,
to see Christians of different denominations
dwell together in more charity
and conduct themselves, in respect
to each other wtih a more Christianlike
spirit than ever they have
done in any former age or in any nation.
"I receive, with the greatest satisfaction,
your congratulations on the
establishtment of the new pnnatihiHnii
of government; because I believe its
mild, yet efficient, operations will tend
to remove every remaining apprehension
of those with whose opinions I
may .not entirely coincide, as well as
to confirm the hopes of its numerous
friends; and^because the moderation,
patriotism and wisdom of the present
federal legislature seem to promise
the restoration of order and our an.cient
virtues?the extension of genuine
religion?and the consequent advancement
of our respectability
abroad and of our substantial happiness
at home.
"I request, most reverend and respectable
gentlemen, that you will accept
my cordial hanks for your de
out supinations to the Supreme
Ruler of the universe in'behalf of me.
May you, and the people whom you
represent, be happy subjects of divine
1 benediction both here and hereafter.
( Signed) "G. Washington."
American Legion to
Meet in New Orleans
New Orleans, July 8.?When the
tumult and shouting died away and
the American Legion hosts prepared
to leave Kansas City, following the
national convention there last fall, the
general feeling was that there would
never be another convention of similar
magnitude and general good
times.
Faced by the necessity of living up
to the high mark established by Kansas
City, the 1922 convention committee
started work immediately following
the 1921 gathering. The result
of this activity is the formation of a
program for entertainment of the
150,000 visitors expected, which will
wjipne m originality nna spontaneity
^ all previous conventions.
The plan of action for New Orleans
convention authorities has been to
provide certain types of amusement to
satisfy the various tastes of visitors.
Each man will be able to take advantage
of the kind of entertainment
he desires.
'Way back in tho minds of most
vstsrans is the desire to revisit the
scenes of their best times during the
world -war. To the man who went to
France there is perhaps the memory
of a leave in Paris, a sojourn behind
the lines in a -picturesque village
where the corpulent madam who ran
Al + ? * '
me caie 1 was Kind and whpre the
mademoiselles were not hard to look
upon. The soldier end sailor who
did not go to France has heard his
comrades hold forth, at Legion- posts
nutetiage upon th* joys of days spent
behind -the -lines, anrl fcrno less eager
than- his buddy who went overseas to
1 Wast gain the old, care-free-life.
For -fleevdays, starting October 16,
Mow -Osteon* will east aeide its modIk
r ' - I
Iftuiitaitiiili
ern American ways and will revert to
the days of French and Spanish domination.
The famous carnival atmosphere
of the Mardi Gras will prevail,
bringing to every visitor that
spontaneity "-which dominated the
streets of Kansas City.
Arriving in New Orleans, the
doughboy visitor will be transported
to a cosmopolitan atmosphere. He
will meet Creole and French girls, attired
in the headdress and garb of
Brittany, Normandy and other picturesque
French provinces. At the
street corner, he will see on sale a
special La Vie Parisienne edition of a
local newspaper. If the train arrives
at night his journey to the hotel will
be down a great White Way. Thirteen
thousand electric lights will
make the downtown streets a memorable
display.
There are no deaoendants of Jesse
James among the hotel proprietors of
New Orleans. Co-operating with the
convention committee to the fullest
extent, all principal hostelries have
agreed to give the visitor a bunk for
$1.50 a day, minus bath, and for $2.50
a day with the porcelain tub. Every
man gets a-bed, too. The hotels and
housing committee is prepared to take
care of all visitors. Those who prefer
to live in the residential district far
removed from the sounds of merriment
will bo entertained in the best
homes of the city.
As a special act of courtesy to the
Legion hosts a celebrated French carnival
parade will be held by a number
of French societies who have made
the Mardi Gras a national event. The
festivities will be held in the evening.
During the world war the rolls of
the army, navy and marine corps carried
the names of many famous athletes.
To a Legionnaire sports have
always proved to bo of exceptional interest.
During the New Orleans convention,
the greatest world war athletes
of the United States will compete
in track and field, markmanship, 1
wrestling and boxing contests. They 1
will endeavor to bring the champion- *
ships in their chosen sports to their '
Legion departments. r
Dreadnoughts, cruisers, submarines 1
and sub-chasers will frolic in the port 1
of New Orleans for tho amusement of *
the doughboy. The convention's water *
carnival is expected to be one of the
most unique features on the program. ?
All the great naval powers of the i
world have been invited to send ships s
to participate in the carnival. There 1
" will be British, French, Italian, Mex- <
ican and Brazilian craft, while our 1
Cuban allies, who hold forth at a 1
comparative stone's throw from New
Orleans, will send a number of ves- ]
sels. t
Swarming ahout the sides of the ,
great ocean vessels will be hundreds ,
of yachts and small pleasure craft,
decorated in festivn colors. There will i
? - ? . J
be an opportunity for all visitors to ?
take a trip about the harbor and to .
sail on Lake Pontchartrain, one of the t
most beautiful bodies of water in the ^
United States. ,
Excitement will reign and recollec- j
tions of past perils will come to the t
convention visitor on one of the con- \
vention nights. A spectacular air j
raid will be staged over the "center of .
the business district. Squadrons of j
bombing planes will drop flares and f
illuminating bombs, 'while powerful
searchlights from the vessels in tho (
harbor will play upon the air craft
and reveal to the thousands of spec- ]
tat ors the spiral dives, loops and daring
movements executed by the pilots.
Women visitors who attend the
American Legion Auxiliary convention,
to be held in conjunction with the
Legion gathering, will face a barrage
of French fetes, yacht reviews, teas
luncheons and automobile tours? They
will join their Legion comrades in

streets. Music will be provided by r
numerous jazz orchestras composed of 1
New Orleans negroes who claim responsibility
for the introduction of the
syncopateed tunes to the American
ballroom. The Pickwick, Boston, Louisiana
clubs and other historic and exclusive
organizations are to open the
doors to the Legion and Auxiliary
guests. Amusement parks, theatres
and all permanent entertainment enterprises
of New Orleans have ar
ranged special programs for convention
week.
Volumes could be written of New
Orleans and the many attractions the
stranger finds within its gates. The
architectural uniqueness of the buildings;
its inviting parks and driveways,
and its unusual historical associations,
are features that appeal to
?\11 classes of travelers.

Orlens is preparing to demonstrate
her hospitality to the Legion visitors
and to send them back to their homes

Wireless May Enabla
Deaf to Hear
London, July 0.?Wireless, with all ,,
the manifold benefits already to its ,
credit may enable the deaf to hear, .
thinks a writer in the current number ,
of- the Medical Press. If recent ex- ^
peri men ts with wireless telephony .
come up to expectation, he declares,
then there is little need for the deaf ^
to, give up hope, for by means of
"thermionic" valves the very jdeaf j
have been enabled to hear.
The author records the case of a
man of 50 who had been deaf for i
many years, so deaf that he could i
only hear the shouted voice. Never- I
theless he experimented with wireless i
telephony. It occurred to him that
by increasing the number of ther- J

Questioned on this subject Godfrey
isaacs. head of t.Vm Mnrrnnl Wirolp??
system, said he did not think Esperanto
would do. "But, at the same
ime," he added, "we are keeping in
dew in connection with the scheme
low under consideration for the es.ablishment
of wireless broadcasting
stations, the possibility of teaching
anguages by wireless telephony. I

More than a million of the pamphlets
will be distributed nationally.
The association asserts that more
women between the ages of 15 and
45 die from causes incident to maternity
than from ^ny other cause
except tuberculosis. Dr. Haven Emerson,
of the association's advisory
board estimates that only one woman
out of 17 in the United States receives
the benefit of modern medical
and nursing science at childbirth.
The result, it ia said, is that more
than 20,000 women lose their Uvea
during childbirth each year more than
100,000 haWef are born dead and
more than 100,000 die under the age
of one month.
The association hopes to convince
expectant mothers that prenatal care
is needed, and lead them to present
their cases to local nursing and public
health organizations and receive
personal advice and direction.
Flower Bedecked House
Boats are .Disappearing
London, July IK?'The flower bedecked
houseboats which American
visitors to Hampton Court, Henley
and other places on the Thames were
wont to admire are fast disappearing
from tho river.
The motor launch with a cabin
capable of sleeping from two to four
persons is taking its place. In a restless
age the houseboat has been found
too restful. It is going the way of
other Victorian ideas.
Twenty years % ago one Ghertsey
firm used to build 14 new houseboats
every year. Last year they built one.
Tho demand now is for something
that will move. Over 1,000 motor
launches ara now running in the
Thames Conservancy area alone.
The finest collection of postage
stamps is that in the Berlin postal
museum.
