PULASKI MONUMENT
Equestrian Statue of the Polish
Hero.
REVISED MODEL NOW HERE
On Exhibition in Corcoran Art
Gallery.
APPROVED BY COMMISSION
But Not Yet by Jury of Artists-A
Description Of the Sculptor's

A beautiful equestrian statue OF Count
Pulaski. one of the Polish heroes in the
revolutionary war, is to be erected In the
triangular reservation in front of the Ma
tional Theater. bounded by Pennsylvania
avenue, and f and 18th streets. Congress
has appropriated $4,000 for the statue and
provided that it should be expended under
the direction of commission consisting of
Secretary Taft. Senator Wetmore of Rhode
Island, Representative McCleary of Mime
sofa and the president of the central COM
mittee of the Pulaski Monument Associa-
ton.
1t was originally intended to erect the
statue of Pulaski on one of the northern
corners of Lafayette Square, but that plan
was abandoned in favor of the site in the
Pennsylvania avenue reservation for the
reason that the Polish societies interested
in the project desired an equestrian statue
and a statue of that character would not
be in harmony with the three other statues
in Lafayette Park, which are standing fig
ures. According to the present plan the
statues of Lafayette and Rochambeau, on
the avenue front of the square, will be sup
plemented by statues of Won Steuben and
kosciuszko on the H street front.
Revised Model Accepted.
On the recommendation of various Polish
American societies the statue commission
charged Mr.. Cassimir ChodZnski, Polish
American sculptor located in Chicago, with
the work of designing appropriate statue
of the revolutionary hero. He submitted a
model of the proposed statue several months
ago. but it was not satisfactory to the COM
mission and he was requested to revise the
model to meet certain artistic criticisms

FOREIGNERS FIND
BIKES PAY WELL

I'VE are rather slow" says an Ameri-
can manufacturer who mas just returned
from Europe, '.in appreciating the com
nercial value OF bicycles.
1--WE have not yet learned that the
handy wheel has a real earning power,
In caring for the business Of small mer-
chants. England and all Europe, for
that matter, saw a great Hight IN this
respect some years ago. Every small
store has two or three wheels. equipped
with some effective form OF carrier, and
even the big merchants. who keep many
teams and a few automobiles, use the
bicycles also for quick trips and emer-
geacy work These wheels are kept IN
first rate condition. and are not mere
makeshifts. but essential parts OF the
outfit. The economy to be effected in
the use OF the wheel does not allow Of
nuch argument. and American shop
keepers should see II.
Take the druggists, the grocers, and
the candy men. for instance. Those
that use teams for deliveries are
Obliged TO route their trips, and make
a stated number of deliveries each day.
But almost at every hour there IS a
hurry I'D order, that. Il cared for out
OF it's turn with a horse and wagon,
actually makes moro expense for the
house than profits. The bicycle solves
that sort OF problem, cuts down ex-
penses and keeps customers IN a good
humor.
sJust think the matter over, and you
viii see that there is hardly any bus1-
ness. which handles small articles. which
could not use one or more wheels TO
. mighty good advantage"

ALCOHOL NOT CHEAP,
SAY EXPERIMENTERS

Engineers OF the II. II. Franklin
Manufacturirg Company are busy with
experiments on the use Of alcohol as
a substitute fuel for gasoleue.
The tests so far made show that under
the normal working conditions Of a
rasolene engine. alcohol is not nearly
so economical as gasolene. It has been
shown with the use Of alcohol that with
a compression of eighty pounds an
efficiency Of 17.9 per cent has been Sc
cured. whereas, with only sixty pounds
compression. 19 per cent efficiency is at
tanned in the case of gasolene. Alcohol
is a slow burning fuel and the heat re-
uuired to vaporize 1t properly Is equiva-
lent TO about 10 per cent OF the total
fuel. while gasolene vapOrizes without
external aid. It is true, however, that
the heat required to vaporize alcohol is
not wasted in the case OF the Frank
lin. as the auxiliary exhaust is used to
heat the passages TO the carburetor.
Thus far. the experiments have in
dicated that. while the temperature
must be higher for vaporizing alcohol.
| II gives better heat efficiency when
vaporized, 4 the compression can be
raised to a sufficient degree. Gasolene
has heat value of 1900 B. T. u, while
the heat vaIue-of alcohol IS 1900 B. T.
L. But gasolene weighs only SIS
pounds TO the gallon and alcohol about
/ 6.66 pounds.
The heat value per gallon Of gasolene
is thus shown to be s. per cent greater
than that Of alcohol under normal en-
| gine conditions. 1t is, therefore, neces-
] q Of F,ef-
| equal, TO increase prOportiOnalIy TIE
| efficiency OF the alcohol engine.
