CATHEDRAL IS REARED WITH STATESTONE Grreat Beauty of Structure Is Tribute to Indiana Building Material. The exterior beauty of the new Scottish Rite cathedral forms a glowing tribute to Indiana’s natural resources in the high character of the oolitic limestone provided for its construction through the Matthews brothers Company, Bloomington, Ind., the stone contractors. 'All the stone was selected specially. numberless trips to the quarries and the mills being made by the architect and members of the plans committee. Care was taken to vary the color of the store for the walls and other special cutting of the surface done. In order to* give the, appearance of age in keeping with the Gothic spirit. Carving Is Marvelous Another prominent feature, and one highly praised by the architect Bnd members of the plans committee, was the skilled carving of stone busts representing King Solomon. King Hiram of Tyre and liuam Abiff, the master builder; the elaborate Masonic symbols and emblems following the designs of the architect, and other stone work ornamentation. Samuel A. Clark, superintendent of construction for the HunkinConkey Company, said he had never worked with finer or better fabricated stone. Fred Matthews, an honorary' member of the Scottish Rite supreme council, thirty-third degree, is president of the present stone firm and the only surviving member of John Matthews & Sons, pioneer quarry men in Indiana, whose operations date back to about 1860. Start on Small Scale From this beginning has come the present plant with a steel and concrete mill 495 feet long and 110 feet wide, equipped with modern types of saws, planers, diamond saws, cranes, special milling machines and lathes, together with a large force of skilled workmen. Other officers of the present firm are G. H. Barrett, vice-president and general manager; Albert E. Matthews, secretary, and Irvins S. Matthews, treasurer. The highest jumper in the animal world is the black jaguar of South America. It has been seen to leap from the ground to a branch fifteen feet overhead.

Designer of Cathedral

;'V;^

George F, Schreiber, architect of the new Scottish Rite cathedral, spent four years of arduous study and labor in building the edifice. It is his creation throughout, for in addition to exterior structure he also designed the interior treatment, including lighting fixtures, furniture, draperies, rugs, decorations and the like so the whole might be harmonious. No detail was too small for his close attention. Schreiber received his art and architectural training in royal universities of Europe, where Gothic cathedrals abound, later establishing himself in Chicago and Indianapolis. His design for a Gothic type home for the members of Scottish Rite w’as accepted in a wide field of competition

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S LOST SWORD IS FOUND P Paris/ Aug. 12.—The lost sword of Benjamin Franklin which he wore at the courts of England and France prior to the war of Idependence has just been found. The discovery is due to M. Jean Girodie, curator of the Blerancourt museum. This sword, considered one of the rarest of Frankliniana. is being exhibited for a time at the Galerie Jean Charpentier where there is gathered a large collection of Revolutionary and pre-Revolutionary relics of Franco-American interest. The find was made in the home of M. Honore Hecquet d'Orval. a descendant of P. J. G. Cabanis, a close friend of “Poor Richard.” The sw'ord originall had been given to Cabanis, and after being handed down through several generations had become practically forgotten in its dust covered resting place.

With the completion of the new Scottish Rite Cathedral a noteworthy contribution to the greater and more beautiful In* dianapolis of the future has been made. We derive a keen sense of satisfaction from the privilege of participation in the financing of this magnificent structure. The Meyer-Kiser Bank 128 East Washngton Street
