days are now. happily, thing OF the
past Government officials. spurred
by the chagrin of unsuccessful unveil-
ings, have perfected system which
enables the present-day unwilling to
proceed like clockwork. There has
finally been evolved definite fixed
routine Just as there is set Of hard
and fast rules for inaugurating pres
ident or conducting military or naval
funeral and the federal experts who
make business Of these public shows
could almost conduct one with their
eyes shut, so to speak.
Much of the credit for the system
and routine that has been introduced
in statue unwilling belongs to Col.
Frederick D. Owen. On the federal
payroll Col Owen appears as one OF

A German scientist has discovered
at Darmstadt nothing less than plas-
ter mask of Shakespeare-a death
mask. in fact. OF its authenticity the
discoverer has no doubt. but to make
assurances doubly sure he was at the
pains to journey to stratford and com.
mare it with the bust on the poets

b1ance of the bust to the death mask
proved to be of the most striking char
acter, and the scientist is clarifying In

Evidence was given that the fellow ser
