A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM e. BARTON
EXCUSE HER BACK.


When you visited Washington and
looked up at the big bronze girl upon
the top of the capitol, did you discover
that she was not looking at you at all,
but in the opposite direction?
II so, please excuse her. When she
accepted her lofty situation and took a
position in which it would be extremely
inconvenient for her to face about, she
had the impression that the city of
Washington was going to grow in the
other direction, and she wanted to look
where there was most to see
Ever since Dec. 2, 1863, she has re-
GREETED that so many interesting things
were going on behind her back which
she had to learn about at secondhand.
Cities do not always grow in the dlrec-
ton which their founders expect.
While we are considering this explana-
ton and apology, we may as well re-
mind ourselves who this big girl is and
how she came to this experience in
high life.
She has all kinds of names, 1.-THE
Goddess OF Freedom" 1.-THE Indian Cod
dess," and so on. Most people simply
guess that she is the Goddess of Liberty.
Thomas Crawford. who created her,
called her Liberty Armed
1t is curious fact that we owe to
jeff Davis her present mongrel charac-
ter. AS originally designed, she wore
the liberty cap--she was the Goddess of
Liberty. In October, 1855, Mr.. Crawford
wrote that to meet the objections of Mr..
jefferson Davis. then a prominent men,
Der Of congress, who objected to the
liberty cap and fasces, these had been
omitted. A helmet was substituted. with
eagle head, and with embellishments of
feathers suggested by the headdress of
the American Indian.

AMERICAN SOMOA
HAS new CODE LAWS
(ey The Associated Press)

PAGO RAGO, American Samoa,
April "A new code of laws based
on American statutes has developed
in American Samoa from the disturb
ances of last year which eliminated
in the suicide of the governor, Com
mander Warren J. Terhune.
The revised laws, drawn by Captain
Waldo Evans, the new governor, and
Judge A. M Noble, and submitted
to the native chiefs, mark an inter
esting change from The early laws
provided for the Samoans.
When in 1900 the first secretary of
native affairs, Judge Gurr, asked the
native rulers of the Samoan villages
to submit laws to him for recommen-
dation to the first governor, he re-
ceived from various villages a copy Of
the ten commandments of the Bible.
This accompanied with the suggestion
that penalties for their violation should
consist of n fine in the shape of a hog
and a barrel of beef.
These recommendations were not
adopted in whole, for such penalties
would have resulted in every offense
paving the way for feast in the viii
lage. This Officials decided would prove
too much of a temptation for the ma
tives.
1t is the custom of the Samoans, and
was then, that when any offense is
complained of and the offender not
known, for the native to declare his or
her innocence by oath on the Bible.
On the occasion some church money
was stolen from the box of a Samoan
pastor, where it had been placed for
safe-keeping. The native pastor i'm
mediately went from house to house
with a Bible, swearing in every in
mate, but everyone declared innocence.
He, however, forgot to take the oath
himself, and the theft remained a mys-
terry.
Some years afterward, the pastor
became seriously i'll and his relatives
were called together. Having made

off.
Next they tried the great red and white
ball. Lumpy got on first and almost
fell on his nose. He hadn't learned the
trick Of keeping his four paddy-feet from
slipping off the top.
Climbing the ladder and down again
was a lot OF fun, too, when you
knew how: and jumping through hoop!
Why, there was nothing to IL, really.
1t was more fun still when white paper
was pasted over and you went through
with a beautiful tearing sound.
Mrs. Lion was so proud of her chill
dren that she almost got neuralgia from
smiling, "oh, If there was only a crowd
to applaud" she kept saying over and
over. II wish the whole world could see

DOLLS DRESSED TO
REPRESENT FASHIONS
(sy Tho Associated Press).

P1TTSPIELD, Mass, April H.
Fashions in woman's wear for the last
1000 years, from the abundant robes
of the Roman patrician TO the abbrevi-
ated skirts of today, are represented
on 1S5 dolls dressed by Mrs. Charles
S. Wright of this city. Work was be-
gun on the unique collection of man
nequins more than six years ago, aft
er months of study of authenticated
prints portraying styles of different
periods. 1t is said to be one Of the
best of it's kind in the world.
In a specially furnished room mad
ames of the dark ages, contemplate
bellies Of the Renaissance and spright-
ly debutantes of our ante bellum and
modern days. Eve also has a place
in the fashion review, but merely as
an example of how clothes make the
woman.
One of the most interesting costumes
is that of a fisherwoman from the
birth of forth. Tailored suits and peek
a-boo waists have had no effect on
the lusty Scots who live on that arm
of the sea, for their dress standard
has remained unchanged for 500 years.
Shifts in American styles are il
Illustrated by eight waxen faced beau
ties starting with the street gown of
1850 In this display are an afternoon
frock of 1857, a calling costume Of
1869, ball gowns OF 1860 and spring
wear of 1869. The operagoer of 1910
stands haughtily erect in the extreme
ly tight skirt of that year.
Leaders in dazzling costumes are the
Japanese from the time of their in
PRODUCTION to the western world. Slant
eyed, brown faced dolls present a COM
armor of conquest in rich silks and
satins. A large group Of Chinese man
nequins, arrayed in heavy silk fabric
peep from beneath coquetish Oriental
sunshades.
Hats have received particular at
tention in the collection. There are
horned headgear popular in the year
1900, the monster mitre hats and the
sugarloaf hoods with clusters of hair
dressed high against the supporting
heartshaped device.
In analysing the various styles, Mrs.
Wright, whois an author and the wife
OF the district attorney of Berkshire
and Hampden counties, says women of
all ages apparently cared less for the
material and more for the cut the
world over.

 FUNDS MET
 BY TRANSFERS

Most of the funds asked for bN, various city departments from the Board of Apportionment were .met yesterday afternoon by transfers with in departments. Probably the most serious question that came up was the deficit to be faced by the Muni- cipa1 Garage. plant unless there is an increase in the prices obtained from bi-products of the plant. Two thousand dollars was found for the office of the registrar of voters to pay for extra employees necessary to com pile list of the women of the city who have to pay a personal tax or Sz, just as the men do, for the first time this year.
 From the ash collection account bage disposal deficit, the $50,000 ap- propriation granted to the Health Department last February for this purpose being practically exhausted The cost of operating the plant until next April. when a new appropria- tion will be made, is estimated at s54.Oo0. It is said that it would be inadvisa ble to sell the bi-products at the present time under the very low prices offered.
 All the other transfers were within departments Among these was one in the office of the tax commissioner who asked that $500 be taken from the regular salaries account to that the increases paid by the tax com missioner for overtime and extra clerk hire during the period or rusn instead of paying the salary of an extra clerk to which the ofhce IS en- titled

ATLANTIC AIR
 FORCE INTACT
Not Weakened to Strength en Pacific Fleet, Says
 Denby.

Washington. Oct. 4-When his at tention was called to report that the navy's aviation personnel is being mo- bilized in the Pacific, Secretary Den by said:
 .'In the usual routine of transfers undoubtedly there have been many changes and considerable numbers of flying officers have been sent to St he Pacific Coast, but this is not due to any decision to build up the air force with the Pacific Fleet at the expense of the Atlantic Fleet. No change whateve in policy in this regard has been made by the Navy Depart ment.''
 He added that the facilities for talk ing care of aircraft on the west coast are not adequate to make such a transfer practicable, even if the de- partment desired to do so.
 The division of the fleet necessarily included a considerable proportion or the flying personnel and equipme ent: Admiral Eber1e, Commander in Chlet of the Pacific Fleet, now has under his command seven air squadrons and the personnel numbers about 1oV or ficers and enlisted men. Capt. Henry B. Butler is now air force command CT on the Pacific Fleet, succeeding Capt. Henry Muslin.

$1O,oo0,O00 IN GOLD
 IS HELD BY OCEAN
Only Half of Gold Lost in Shipwreck Off Irish Coast Is Salvaged by Divers.
By EARL o. REEVES,


 London. Oct. 15-After her fourth year of effort to salvage the $20.o00,- 900 of gold lost in the liner Laurentic. the Racer has been laid up until next April, when she will resume opera tions.
 It was in Jan. 2s, 1917, that the Laurentic. a magnificent auxiliary cruiser, struck a mine and sank in Lough Swil1y. off one of the widest parts of the west coast of Ireland, in over 20 fathoms of water.
 Ship Covered by Sand.
 The same summer salvage opera tions were started on her. But there was a gerat initial difficulty on ac- count of the swift sitting up of the sand. Only by luck was the wreck found at all-two divers came across a mound of sand, and by chance they saw a piece of metal protruding. The mound-not much more than ten feet high, but covering some hundreds or square feet-was the Laurenttc.
 It became necessary to place rings of explosives on the exposed plates and cut out a section, exposing gird- CTS and more plates below, and these in turn had to be cut through by dynamite until the layer containing the gold was reached. So great had the pressure of the sand been, how ever, that the strong room, previously about 12 feet high, had been pressed out to the height of a few inches and the 1ngots in consequence, scattered over a very wide area.
 Half Is Recovered.
 However, by the fall of 1920 over S5,000,0 ,000 in gold had been recover ed and nearly as much again during the present summer has been trans ferred from the depths of the Allan tic to the vaults of the Bank of Eng 1and.S
 Whether it will be possible to re- cover any of the balance next summer Is matter for doubt. Four years al the mercy of the Atlantic rollers have reduced her to scrap iron, and 1t is difficult to tell the stern from the bow. The accumulation of sand has also become an increasingly difficult proposition. Only by the installation of three powerful pumps, each capa. ble of sucking up sand at the rate o1 one ton per second, has it been possf- ble to proceed with the work at all. But If the total sum can be regain ed from this twisted heap of iron ii will constitute the greaest piece o1 salvage work ever known.
