FOR BELGIAN CHILDREN.

1,4OO Pairs of Shoes.

Wanted-1 400 pairs of shoes for
needy Belgian children; this is the plea
of the District of Columbia Belgian
relief committee. of which Mrs. John A.
Logan is chairman. The committee
hopes to fill this order before June,
and will send the shoes over in case
lots as fast as worthwhile contribu-
tons are secured. The donations last
week amounted to SIP.
The sewing circle conducted by the
committee met Friday and finished a
number of garments. mostly wooden
night robes. The committee has sent
in all. 1876 large cases of clothing to
the Belgian sufferers. Mrs William
II. Hill. who helped to organize the
committee and sewing circle is now
its representative in Paris working
in cooperation with the Franco Ameri-
can committee.
The sewing circle invited women to
join it Friday afternoon in the work
rooms in the Woodward building, 18th

EXHIBITS WASHED COINS.
Director Won Engleken Interested II
the Sanitation of Metal Money.

Exhibits a and B. in the possession OF
Director Won Engleken OF the United
States mint. consist of washed coins in
contrast With unwashed coins. Director
Won Enkleken is interested in promoting
the sanitation OF metal money. so that ii
will be acceptable in circulation and not
a health peril.
The matter is now before the secret
service. When q washing machine for
coin was first invented-apparently able
to do the work and probably the same
device that would be applied If the scheme
goes into effect-the secret service was
somewhat doubtful of the wisdom Of the
process. Ii entertained the possibility
that the public would suspect the genu-
ineness of coin, apparently clean, but
worn or scratched through usage.
A modification of the washing machine
will make a change in the appearance OF
the washed coins that will not make them
appear too bright and polished, like new
coin, nor will 1t scratch the face. This.
il is anticipated. will make them accepta-
BILE to the secret service.

The so-called dead languages" are

that students will not utterly ignore
these subjects, but will be attracted to

Outline of Proposal
The proposal for having this statue

thus outlined by Mr.. Steele, as follows
IF this statue could be acquired by
the city it would add greatly to our or
namental features and would, no doubt,
meet with the approval of the fine arts
commission. In recent issue of The
Star this statue was highly commended
by Miss Leila Mechlin as being quite
worthy of a site in this city. An ideal
place to locate this statue, If we are
fortunate enough to secure it, would be
in the grounds of the Smithsonian In
stitute. where 1t could stand out boldly
between the institute and the New Ma
uonal Museum, standing, as it does, ten
feet high. Evidently this statue of the
Indian scout represents an aborigine of
early days.

cessful in depicting the Sioux Indian
with all his characteristics. The ar
rangement of the hair of the Indian is
to be noted. 1t was the custom for the
Sioux brave or warrior to wear the
hair parted in the middle and braided
on either side of the head, with a single
eagle feather standing erect at the
back Of the head. attached to the scalp

wampum and bear claws worn about
the neck. the moccasin after the pat
tern of the Sioux Indian. Truly, this
is grand example of the savage of
bygone days. The horse is of the type
usually associated with the man of the
plains. Note the plated rawhide thong
attached to the lower jaw of the ami

The Indian in Washington.

In describing the paintings and
sculpture in the Capitol representing
tho North American Indian Mr.. Steele
calls attention to them as follows:
There is a bas-relief in the panel
over the western entrance to the ro-
tunda; this shows Pocahontas inter-
ceding for the life of Capt. John Smith.
The same subject is again repeated in
the historical frieze of the rotunda by
Constantine Brumidi as yet incom-
piete. Again Pocahontas is represent
ed as woman of mature age, while
history tells US that Pocahontas at the
time was child of but thirteen years
OF age. This almost amounts to ana
chronism on the part of the sculptor
and artist.
"All are familiar with the profile of
the Sioux chief Hollow Eorn Bear on
the flve-cent nickel; the five dollar
silver certificate bears the vignette of
the old chief One-Pa-Pa. Chief Thun-
dercloud was in great demand as a
model for many of our artists. Victor
Greener used him in his design for the
gold piece. and he has many times
posed for the late F. d. Millet. While
Chief Thundercloud had the appear
ance of a thoroughbred. he was not a
full-blooded Indian, being half
breed, and, like Osceola, his father was
a Frenchman.

Fish Hatchery Closed.

Secretary Redfield has closed the fish
hatchery at Havre de Grace because
the Maryland state authorities, he de-
clares, will not prohibit methods OF
fishing which have steadily extermi'
mated the supply of shad eggs. The
fishermen, he states. use anchored gill
nets and the eels eat the eggs and also
the fish. They also have used the gov.
eminent station as convenient harbor
and base of operations and are unable
reclprocate by furnishing eggs.
THAT sysaem of fishing" says Sec
rotary Redfeld. has become nuisance
defeating the very object of the bureau
and it appears inconsistent to permit
the operators of the nets to shelter at
the station. 1t is inconsistent that the
station should buy eggs from nets that
are actually wasting much more than
the station can keep pace with"
The Importance of the Havre de
Grace station in the earlier days may
be realized from the fact that in 1895
and for several years it secured 200, 600
900 shad eggs annually at cost of about
500 million and these shad are re.
garded as the best known to the At.
lantic Coast.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is an
infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.

apply to the next Democratic
Gubernatorial nominee. 1t is
plain that neither a Smith or a
Lee exponent can win. The man
who can bridge the present dan
gerous chasm in the Dpmocratic
party in Maryland today must
be one who is big enough to ap-
peal to the better judgment OF
both factions. and who wears
the uniform of neither. He
must answer the description of
being fair to the counties as we'll
as to Baltimore city.
Speaking of "early birds, y
Brother Brewington, what about
Robert Grain for Governor?
Such a man is Robert Grain,
hailing from section of the
State which has not been honored
in the selection Of a Governor
since the days of Gov. Oden
Bowie in 1867; who has accom-
plished as much for Baltimore
city as any man who ever adopt
ed it as his home; who is today
one of the largest landowners
and farmers in the State; an
active member of the State Agri-
cultural Board and deeply inter
ested in the better road and
school movement of Maryland.
In short, free lance that is al
ways pointed toward progress.
