CONCERN WAS FOR MOTHER
OF Course Little Frank Was Not tina
Least Bit Afraid of the
Darkness.

The family has moved from gas
lighted house to one where there Is
electricity, and baby Frank. standing
on tip toe, can just reach the two push
buttons inside the rooms. They are
source of great amusement and he
never fails to press them whenever
he passes.
A few nights ago his mother came
from the upper rooms and announced
bedtime. Little Florence ran upstairs
Immediately Frank, up 10 his usual
tricks, pushed the button, and Off went
the light. The overwhelming darkness
frightened the little fellow After
minute he asked: Mother, are you
there?" 'Yes, dear" said his amused
mother. Another pause. Mother, are
you 'frald?"
"No, dear, are your"
mo. amt 'fraid. but you better
put the light on. I'm 'fraid you will
be frald."

UNUSED TO EVENING DINNER
Grownup Recalls Embarrassing In

Childhood Days.

AS child in our family | was ac-
customed to having dinner at noon
and light supper in the evening, be-
cause there were several of us, and
my mother considered 1t too harm
full to have heavy meal at night.
We had as friend a woman who
lived several blocks away One day
she called to me as | was returning
from school and asked my two broth
ers and me to come to dinner the next
day.
The following day the three of us
went to her house at noon. She looked
a little surprised as we came, but said
nothing. After about a half an hour
we wondered when we were to have
dinner. She asked me why we were
back from school so early that noon
"We came TO dinner" l said.
She smiled and said, "My dear. we
have dinner this evening"

his lifetime. Now it seems as If every
Eaethod of portraiture-except of
course photography-ha been used.
There are drawings, sketches, studies,
eli paintings, water colors, medals,
coins, postage stamps, silhouettes and
statues and busts in marble, bronze
and wood.
OF course these lillenesses do not
nil look alike, and topic of perennial
Interest is: What did George Wash
ington really look like? There are
three representations of Washington
that have been general favorites and
hold their popularity. The favorite pro-
file has been Houdon's, with Stuarts
canvaSses for the full face and Trum-
bulls for the figure. Houdon's statue
at Richmond, Va, gives us the "mili-
tary profile" Stuart's full-face por-
trait is called the presidential head"
Trumbull certainly should have known
him well enough to give rs his bodily
appearance. Stuart is said to have adj
mitted that the Houdon marble is SUI
perior to his canvas as a likeness, add
ing that it was the only one that was
better; he held that the defects in his
own work were due to the poorly fitted
false teeth which Washington wore.
1t is agreed by WashingtOns con-
temporaries that his figure had certain
marked pecusiarities. He was shallow
through the chest, did not grow small
at the waist, had long legs and very

little over six feet and weighed be-
tween 210 and DO pounds--an ex-
ceedingly able-bodied citizen.
These bodily peculiarities are all
faithfully brought out in Houdons
statue. The famous French sculptor
his subject and a mould of his face.
From this mould he took a plaster
mask, which he took back with him
to France; a copy of it is preserved
IN the mint at Philadelphia Houdon
was perfectly trained and competent
technician. He produced easily and
bbundantly in marble and bronze to
the satisfaction of his contemporaries.

mat his statue of George Washington
which has many times been repro
auced-is an admirable reproduction
IN marble of the Father of His
Country.
yet the controversy over the best
LIKENESS of Washington never dies.
Ior example, Paul Bartlett, the

lature of Virginia. Houdon's reputation
was then paramount and secure lt
has lasted TO this day. More than 200
portrait busts and statues of the great
do him credit. Diana, the Huntress"
is probably the best of his nude
female figures. His portrait statue of
Voitaire is considered one of the finest
in modern art.
SO much for the Houdon statue of
George Washington.
And now for another statue Of
George Washington - this one a
mystery.
1t is a colossal wooden figure. 9h
| feet high and weighing 500 pounds.
/ lust now it stands in the basement of
the city hall of Wilmington, bel.
among the belongings of the Historical
Society of Delaware. George Washing
ton is carved in Continental uniform
blue coat, faced with buff; buff
trousers and high Hessian boots. Yes;
the statues in colors, and they are
still quite distinct. And It's a statue
of George Washington. What's more.
/ it's a good one-an excellent likeness
and an inspiring figure Pinned upon
the statue is a printed card stating
that it formerly stood in Bowling
Green, New York.
j Did it ever stand i'm Bowling Green?
The City History club of New York
city cannot find any trace of such a
statue. The art commission In the
city hall of New Yor' has no official
knowledge of it. Yet tradition is that
the statue was placed in Bowling
Green in 1892. replacing the leaden
statue of George III of England and
stood there until 1885 or even later.
Here is the chronology of the stat
ne. 50 far as it is known at present:
1S45-Sold at New York municipal
auction sale for $3.50 to Mr..
Jacques, South Norwalk, Conn.
1S60-At the death of Mr.. Jacques
in 1860 Mr.. Sch'ff became it's owner.
Next owner, Antonio Decorate: next
owner Frank Theobald, tobacco dealer,
New York.
! 1890 - Surmounted arch across
| Fifth avenue in New York's
celebration of the centenary Of Wash
ington's Inauguration. illustrations in
Harper's Weekly and Frank Leslie's
show the arch with the statue in place.
| 1907-Joseph Lehman. tobacconlst,
tried to sell it TO the New York His
toricai society for $1,000. Incidentally
/ Lehman used the statue as an id
/ yertisepent.
1913-Stood in front Of harber
shop at ST. Nicholas avenue and One
Hundred and Eighty-Second street.,
New York
1919-Found in a junk shop and
bought by General Coleman pa Pont
| for $500 to give to the Historical
Society of Delaware.
There are maay printed illusions
to the statue and all say. sad to
have stood in Bowling Green"
If it didn't stand there. whore die
it stand?
Some day the Delaware Historical
society will have a home Of fl, own.
And then this mystery statue Of
George Washington will have q per-
marent resting place.

two years despite the "overcrowd-

The Brazilian government pays

labor contractors have found it i'm
possible to fulfill their co ltlacts

Last year the number of Japan

perhaps not easily obtainable for
adj homes. However, it is possible
for each home to have fire de-

lies in the removal of possibilities
for the development of fire. This

young child capable Of directing
its mind to the control OF its body.
Each and every one of them can

do so. They should be instructed
to exercise personal sense of res
