MISS LIBERTY IS
BADLY IN NEED OF
A LADIES' TAILOR
Her Bronze Gown Shows
Wear, and Patches Soon
Will Be Imperative.

NEW YORK, July A.-Mother Lib
erty's gown is beginning to show wear.
Tiny holes are visible in 1t. But there
Is nothing strange about that, say army
ofncers who are her guardians, for all
gowns, even II made of bronze, will
wear out in time. And Mother Liberty
mas worn hers for twenty-five years.
NO wonder she needs a dressmaker!
Perhaps there are a hundreds holes
mere and there in the bronze fabric Of
the Bartholdi statue on Liberty Island,
IN the harbor, and more and more are
surely appearing.
When Capt. c. 8. Wallace, of the Sig
nal Corps, took command about a year
ago Of Fort Wood, the post on Liberty
Island. he inquired about the condition
OF the nations real first lady" Lieu
tenant Jones, the post Quartermaster,
reported on her condition a few weeks
ago to the chief quartermaster Of the
Department of the East. That officer
sent an engineer to examine the statue.
The engineer reported that dlsintegra-
tton OF the bronze had begun. He said
ne did not know of any method of pre-
vention. The report was forwarded to
AdJutant General Andrews, of the De-
partment of the East, on Governors
Island. He has sent II through the
proper channels to the War Department.
Mother Liberty's gown is made Of
hammered sheets of bronze. supported
by en iron frame. In certain places the
plates are thinner than in others. 1t
is in these thin spots that perforaions
are appearing.
Captain Wallace said yesterday he did
not believe the perforations were due
to salt air. He said salt from the sea
did not get up into the air. or there
would be salt rain. Salt water would
cause corrosion, but Liberty is never
splashed by waves.
Anything will wear out" said Captain
Wallace. It's nature. But the statue
Is good for a hundred years, 1 believe.
Besides, it seems to me the plates could
be removed, one at a time, whenever
necessary, and used as patterns for new
ones Similar removing and replacing
could be done with sections Of the
As the lady's gown is made Of about
300 separate pieces and she is 155 feet
tall, the metal tailors would have some
big jobs OF patching under Wallace's
plan.
