Citizens Of Polish birth or descent are
interested in the proposition to erect an
equestrian statue in Washington to Gen.
Count Casimr Pulaski, who lost his life
ut Savannah in 1919. Zone hundred
years ago. said Representative Mann
Of Chicago, who has introduced a bill for
that purpose, carrying an appropriation
Of $4,000. Congress voted an eques-
trian statue to Pulaski, but the treasury
seems to have been short of funds, and
for that or some other reason the statue
was never erected. There are many
Poles in Chicago, some of them very
highly educated. They have been agitat-
ing the matter and think Congress should
now appropriate money to carry out the
plan authorized q century ago."

one Of the largest pieces of bronze cast
ing in this country. 1t is the figure Of an
angel. modelled in very high relief, in
tended for the exterior Of granite tower
erected on private grounds at Methuen,
Ia. There is only one chamber in the
tower and this chamber contains a
bronze group Of Christ and child. The
owner of this strange structure asked
Mr.. Copper to design a figure for the
exterior which should be in keeping with
and bear out the idea conveyed by the
group inside. The figure of the angel
is IA feet long from the foot to the top
of the wing. Two and one-half tons of
material were used up in the modelling.
The work is to be cast in Philadelphia.

Olives Have Food Vaiue.

The uses of olive oil and olives as arti-
cles of diet are familiar. The former is
used chiefly for dressing salads and for
frying, the latter as relish, for season

Gus foods. The oil, like all fats. has q
high fuel value, and on this its value al
food depends. The California govern
