SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS
PAINTED WASHINGTON

The New York World prints story
that a portrait of George Washing
ton painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds
has teen bought by William Tudor
Wilkinson, of St Louis, who has an
old house in Paris, once occupied by
Nine. de Maintenon. Mr.. Wilkinson
picked up the picture for $45 in an
old bric-a-brac shop in Montmartre,
He says he has been offered $4,000
for the portrait.
1t is signed, and on the hack is an
inscription in Sir Joshua's own hand
writing: president u. S. A. Wash
ington. ]. Reynolds. 1871" wash
ington died in 1899 The portrait
which was painted from imagination
and descriptions of Washington, is
unlike familiar pictures of the First
President, whom Sir Joshua never
saw. The features are rather those OF
a man OF the world, and the general
expression of the face gives an i'm
preston of weakness.
Paris art experts confirm the au-
thenticity OF the painting, which Mr..
Wilkinson intends to have placed in
London to be restored.

NATIONAL HOSPITAL
DAY TO Be OBSERVED
Anniversary Of Florence Night
ingale's Birth Will Be Date
Of Public Inspection
IMPORTANCE OF WOR K

The U. S. Public Health Service
found the celebration of National
Hospital Day so popular and so gen
orally satisfactory last year that 1t
heartily approves its repetition this
year on Friday, May Il. the anniver-
sary of the birth of Florence Night
ingale, founder of modern nursing.
On that day the public will be again
invited to visit the hospitals in their
vicinity as guests and 10 familiarize
themselves with their atmosphere,
methods, and aims.
Last year Surgeon-General Cum
ming, of the Public Health Service, in
accepting for the Service hospitals
the invitation to join in the observ-
ance of the day. took as a text the
existing scarcity OF hospitals and the
great difficulty everywhere met OF
| finding hospitals or even buildings
! that were capable OF being converted
into hospitals. During the year much
progress has been made in solving the
hospital question. and the Surgeon
General bases his acceptance on the
great work which the hospitals are
doing in the war against disease
In writing to NJ. o. Foley. of Chic
ago, secretary of the National Hos
pital Day committee, he says:
Familiarity with hosp al work is
rapidly becoming OF more importance
than was foreseen wear ago. The
! World War has for time at least
ended wars of destruction; and it is
apparent that the great war to be
waged during the next half-century is
to be one to eradicate disease, to con
serve health, and to lengthen life.
This war has indeed already been
begun and has not a few triumphs tC

VISITING QUARTET At
BAPTIST CHI. SERVICE

Song service at the College Avenue
Baptist Church was reinforced last
night by the Calvary quartet, of
Baltimore. The congregation stated
unanimously that last nights was the
best of the evangelistic srevices held
so far
This was another proof that no
thing so attracts the people as the
singing OF the Gospel hymns by well
trained choirs. The service of song
lasted 80 minutes. and the Calvary
quartet sang twice for the congrega-
ton. They. have consented to come
down Sunday morning, and will ar
rive in time for the Sunday School
hour. remaining all day.
Choir Leader Norris was much
pleased with the work done last night
and the hearty singing of the congre-
cation. He promises the best music
thus far at tonight's service. and he
has made good every time.
The response of the other congre-
cations of the city is one Of the graf
| flying features of the revival.
