WILL MODEL ALLIED LEADERS
American Sculptor in France Has
Been Given the Task of Putting
History Into Clay.

Joe Davidson, the American sculp-
tor, now in France, is engaged on a
most interesting commission, accord
ing to the Manchester Guardian. He
is modelling a series of bronze busts
Of the chief allied military and politi-
cal leaders. Many have already sat
for him, and many, including Haig
and Lloyd George, have yet to give
sittings. One of the sculptor's recent
successes was bust of Marshal Foch,
done in clay, from which the bronze
work will be completed. Only two
periods of time, totaling five hours,
were available for Davidson.
But that proved sufficient. Half
way through, the marshal inspected
what had been done and smilingly re-
marked: Sculpture is not so difficult.
after ALL" He also recalled with some
pride that Gustave Dore's illustrations
to POe's works were made in his
(FOch's) house. He was only cap
tain then. The sculptor's description
OF his sitter is interesting: Foch's
broad, high forehead indicates a man
of philosophic rather than purely mill
tary type, but the deep set, piercing
eyes and strong though nowise brutal
mouth, nose and chin show that the
thinker is equally a man of action
and decision. From the point of view
of physiognomy, subject Of absorb
ing interest.

Famous Old Tavern Closed.

The rising tide Of prohibition has
swept away another ancient hostelry,
the Blue Anchor, at Front and Dock
streets, Philadelphia, claimed to be the
Oldest tavern in Pennsylvania, and
one of the two or three oldest In Amer
lea.
The Blue Anchor is one of the land
marks of the city. It's walls bear the
inscription that the inn was founded
in 1852, shortly after the landing of
William Penn, when Dock street was
Dock creek. AS a tavern and bar
the building on this site has, been op-
Grated continuously for 237 years.
Chroniclers of Dock street say that
the original building was burned in
the later years of the eighteenth CEN
tury. and that the present building
dates from about 1889. The inn was
long known for it's fish dinners.

UNITED STATES GOT BARGAIN
Purchase of Florida From Spain for
$6,0o0,ooo Was Decidedly Good
Stroke of Business.

More than $6,OOOO0O was paid by
che United States to Spain one hun
dred years ago for Florida.
In 1919, on the anniversary Of the
birth of the nations first president,
there was concluded between John
Quincy Adams, then secretary of state,
and Luis De Onis, minister plenipOten-
tiary Of the king of Spain, an agree
ment and treaty whereby the United
States became owner of what were
then known as the provinces of East
and West Florida.
This territory included not only all
of the present state of Florida, but
part of what is now Georgia and AL
ALBANIA, and it was bought for $5,000,-
900 and the settlement of some claims
which amounted to $1,024, ,741.44, a
total of $6,O24,741.44.
The language of the remarkable
document between the two nations is
clear and precise and differs from
other treaties to marked extent. The
two men who drew it up were past
masters in craftsmanship, politics and
diplomacy; also, each was the most
advanced thinker of the country he
represented.
Spain wanted to get rid Of her
American possessions before they were
taken away from her. She was proud,
but recognized the fact that she was in
no position to wage a long and pos
sibly unsuccessful warfare to hold her
colonies.
America wanted the land in this
continent held by Spain, but was will
ing to acquire it by purchase rather
than conquest, and with both sides
ably represented by the best talent, 1t
was not long before satisfactory con-
cluSiOn was reached.

NAMES OF CITY
NURSES SOUGHT
Rock Island Red Cross Chaptsr>is-
sues Appeal TO Aid in Making
of National Survey.

The Rock Island chapter, Amerl-
can Red Cross. is issuing an urgent
appeal TO every practical student
and graduate nurse in the city TO
call at or phone 10 Red Cross head
quarters tomorrow or Saturday
morning for the purpose OF record
ing her name in the nation wide
nursing survey. provided that by
that time she has not already been
visited and been properly enrolled.
The local chapter has made an
effort to call upon every nurse in
the city, but it is altogether prob
able that there are q number of
practical nurses and even graduate
nurses or nurses with some under
graduate training who are not prac-
ticing at the present time. and who
have therefore been overlooked. II
is these women with whom the Red
Cross now desires TO communI-
cate.
The purpose of recording the
names of all those with nursfS
experience or training is to furnish
the government with a complete
survey of the nursing resources OF
the country and does not in any
way involve a pledge for any fu-
ture service of any kind The Red
Cross has undertaken the making
Of the survey throughout the entire
country and Will turn the results
over TO the government within the
next few weeks.

Of the evening, in order that our
sons grow up strong and healthy

Father and son should establish

IDLE SOLDIERS
MAY Get WORK
Supply and Demand In Labor Mar.
ket Here About Balances, Says
Employment Officer.

IF the public only come to US
with their demands for labor not a
man in uniform will be turned away
from our Office without proffer of
employment" said F. W Rinck, su-
perintendent of the Illinois Free
Employment bureau, today.
According to Mr.. Rinck. supply
and demand with reference to labor
is about equally balanced at the
present time. The tradesmen whose
occupations are out of season, how
ever, are idle. The demand for I'M
skilled workmen remains far in ad-
vance of that for skilled laborers,
due, it is thought, to an increase in
construction work in the Illinois
quad-cities.
