Washington, Oct. 15-Catastrophies of carelessness they may be-the spe- cimens of freak anatomy in the art works of the Capitol in Washington, but Chief Guide Benjamin J. Cady, on the job for 43 years, can't see the ar tistic errors in that light.
 People who see the mistakes Just look at the pictures from a different viewpoint from that chosen by the ar tist.'' is his explanation.
 Cady is reluctant to point out the much advertised defects in certain pictures decorating the rotunda of the building on the Hill. He insists peo- details of national history portrayed than to the slips made by the artists.
 Cady is cagey. When he is asked to point out in Brumilfs freize the galloping horse with both of its nigh side feet on the ground he will re- mark that he has been around the Capitol for all these many years and never head of a galloping art horse doing that. He will omit a report on the fact that the horse is walking rather than galloping.
 This strange feat of horse-ology, Cady argues. follows the individual critics failure to look at the subject in the same fashion in which the ar to the lowly locker to decide whether the artist Sforgot, was too close to his canvas, or-perhaps didn't know the difference.
 The fact that an Indian playing the difficult role of lone of the crowd'' at the baptismal ceremony of Pocahon- tas, one of the Capitol paintings, has six toes on one foot does not balk Cady. The other imperfections IT. ay be merely matter of the way the critic squints his eyes, but there is nc lodging the six toes. The extra ap- | bondage can't even get by as a bunion

Current Events
 Lecture On Tuesday

Although probably few people are aware of the fact the College club of Bridgeport has a fund from which girls who have been graduated from Bridgeport High school and who wish to go to college but have not sufficient funds, may secure loans which they may repay at their leisure. This year an extra ordinary demand has been made upon the amount and so at the first fall meeting of the Col lege club, held about two weeks ago, it was decided to secure Miss Eunice H. Avery, the well-known speaker of Springfield, to deliver a series of ten lectures on Current Events, and to repIenish the loan fund, with the pro- ceeds from these meetings.
 Mrs. A. H. Bullard was named chairman of the civics committee and has planned for the first lecture on next Tuesday evening, Oct. IS, in the sun parlor of the Stratfeld hotel The remaining talks will be given on the first and third Tuesdays of every
