Hyatt Brothers Opposite Masonic Building Phone 165 Monuments Have Their Troubles Like Mortals, Too WASHINGTON Helax, citizens. No one has (Al chipped Hie point off Hie Washington Monument, tB) smeared Lincoln with lipstick, or Ci painted a beard on Jeffer son. There was considerable worry hereabouts when the news sifted in from the Chicago convention of the Monument Builders of America, Inc. The Monument Builders said the Statue of Liberty was "littered and defaced with refuse and lipstick drawings." In fact, they said, the old girl is a "national disgrace." Since this town has more statues than a Senator has objectives your reporter hunted up Irving C. Hoot to see how the local statuary is making out. As superintendent of the Na tional Capital Parks, Root looks after 75 statues, worth millions of dollars, for us taxpayers. His verdict: Elements, not peo ple, do the most damage. It seems Washington is in a climate where there's a lot of freez ing and thawing. This is as hard on statues as it is on the inhabit ants. "But people are a problem, too,'; he said "They keep stealing Join of Are's sword and the bronze har ness off Grant's horse." The worst offenders are the art lovers who go around busting fing ers off statues for souvenirs. "It runs into big money," Root said, "trying to get a finger to match. Sometimes we have to put on a whole new hand." But the Washington, Lincoln and Jelferson monuments are safe. Thai's because guards keep an eye on embryo vandals. "One other thing," Hoot suid. "I'm a bird lover myself, but they certainly can be a nuisance around a monument." And then he added: "1 don't know why, but they seem partial to generals."
