Everyday Adventures

When your husbands been talk
ing about buying a car for the last
year or so and you'd been hoping
that this spring would be the time
for him to break the good news to
you that he really was going to
buy it now
But he hasn't brought up the sub
ject at ali and when you touch on
it in the course of general CONVEX
sation. he's inclined to shy away
and talk about high prices and wait
ing while before he does any
thing
And you've put the car idea with
all the pleasant rides and every
thing that goes with it, down as
total loss, and turned your mind to
other things-until you happen to
see the little ads under "Automo-
biles for Sale" in the Palladium's
Classified Section
And That Changes Everything!
Because you hand the paper over
to your husband and in about one
minute he's ell interest and saws
he didn't know such good cars were
for sale at prices like that
And few evenings later he
comes home with a broad grin on
his face and tells you not to have
anything to do tomorrow afternoon
because he's going to take you out
for a ride in his new car!

OF Civil war days. His pose is that
OF a reviewing officer and is said to be
fine conception of that quiet keen
ness and resolution that marked. the
man.
The giant bronze horse partakes
something of the life ana action that
RACES in the artillery and cavalry
groups and seems to emphasize the
calmness of the rider. That impress
sion is heightened by the bas-reliefs of
infantry designed for the sides of the
pedestal on which ne stands. One of
these shows the foot troops in heavy
marching order, trudging along dog
gedly on one of the forced marches
that were part of their daily lives in
the Sixties and the other bas-relief
shows the infantry in battle
AT the four corners, near the base of
the pedestal are large bronze lions,
couchant, emblematic Of courage and
strength Each is protecting the Amer
lean standard held in an outstretched
paw. Around the superstructure are
eight ornamental candelabra.
Erected for Months
have been in position for several
months and have been the objects of
considerable interest to artists, tour
lists and the public generally. An
idea of their size is conveyed by the
statement that the cavalry group alone
weighs Is tons. Special artillery and
cavalry drills were given at West
Point Military academy and other
posts to aid the sculptor in the de-
velopment of his designs for those
arms. The finished products are re-
garded as highly realistic and COM
plete in detail
Before the final memorial was com
pleted or contracted for, 81 designs
were submitted and the award finally
was given to Henry W. Shrady, who
died few weeks ago, and Edward
Pierce Casey, architect, of New York.
The erection of the statue was author
lied by congress u years ago, but
various causes contributed 10 the de-
lay in the completion of the memorial.
Chief of these was the strong opposi-
ton to the erection in the Botanic
Gardens on the ground that the site
was on the axis between the capitol.

the Washington monument and the
Lincoln memorial.
In October. 1907. contractors began
making excavations for the founda-
lions of the memorial, but hardly had
they started when an order from the
supreme court of the District of Co
lumbia stopped the work, requiring
the contractors to show cause why
they should not be enjoined from cut.
ting down certain historic trees in
clearing for the site 1t was not until
May, 1908, that the contractors were
able to resume work The original
contract called for the completion Of
the memorial within a period of five
years, but it became necessary to ex-
tend that limit several times. The
cost of the memorial is estimated at
about 100000.

Mrs. Clare Louise Burton.

today's dedicatory ceremonies takes its
place in the national capital with the
soon-to-be dedicated Lincoln memorial

artists.
The marble superstructure on which
the various groups stand is 262 feet
long, SO feet deep and five feet above
the ground. An equestrian statue of
Grant stands on high central pedestal
at the west side facing the Washington
monument and Lincoln memorial at
the other end of the Mall. Lower

support massive groups of cavalry and
artillery, respectively. The infantry
arm is to be presented by bronze bas-
reliefs to be placed on the sides of
the main pedestal-this being the only
part not completed
Action and Repose
The finished work presents an in
termingling of action and repose. At
each end, upon the fanked exedras,
are colossal groups of struggling men
and horses in all the paraphernalia and
trappings of war. The group at the
north end represents cavalry and the
group at the south artillery They face

st. Valentines Day

Dear Uncle Jed: Many many years
ago in the ancient city of Rome there
lived a. good old man named Valentine
Every one loved him because he was so
kind hearted. They shared with him all
their joys and sorrows.
When Valetine died, his people were
nearly heart broken, and incurred for
him deeply. They soon began to celebrate
the anniversary of his death, the four
teenth Of February in a strange way.
On that day all the young girls In the
city of Rome had their name written on
sibas of paper and put In a box in the
public square. When the young men of
the city would come to this box and each
draw out slip. The girl whose name
was written on the slip, became the pro-
spective bride Of the young man who had
drawn It.
Later the custom of observing Saint
Valentines day reached England Here
also it became day of joyous celebra-
ton. AS in Rome, young men and wemen
chose each other by drawing slips but
very seldom did this drawing result in
marriage. So, though the day has been
lost, 1t has come down to us in America.
We have our way of celebrating II. just
as the Romans had theirs.
We want our friends to know that We
have not forgotten them, and we like to
feel that they are thinking kindly of US
So on the fourteenth of February when
love is supposed to reign, We send our
little love tokens In the form of post
card. rare book a box of delicious
candy or an offering of delicate flowers
to those who have a warm place in our
| heart.

During Christmas Vacation.

Dear Uncle Jed: During my Christmas
vacation I had some fun with my
brothers and cousins. The next day aft
er school closed helped my mother with
the homework. While was helping her
1 was thinking what I could give her,
until at last I thought of one thing that
pleased me. SO I went to the store and
bought it for her. That night We had
such good time with my mother and my
aunt. We all went to bed about half
past one. The next day was Christ
mas eve. Every one got up as early
as possible and we began to do our
housework and my father, brothers and
cousin went to do the farm work. Dur
ing the noon hour they began discussing
about something. I tried to listen but
all l could hear was about two or three
words. At last night came, all went
to bed except my big brother Michael
my aunt, my mother and sister. They
didn't go to bed until midnight. When
Christmas day came we went to church.
After we got out of church we went to
the store and it was full Of people. We
bought the things that we wanted and
then we started to go home. On our
way home we saw some children so rner.
ry and gay that they couldn't stop sing
ing and talking.
that another of my aunts had come to
spend Christmas with US. On Christ
mas night my aunt began to tell stories
One of them was a Christmas story
After they finished telling stories we
began to play Lotto. In every game that
| we played I was always the winner, and
| my brother James said Il won't play
anymore If she wins every time"

Dear Uncle Jed: The birds living in
the north should be fed in winter, es-
peeially when there are big snowstorms
The names of the birds that stay in the
north which we should feed are the
starlings, juncos, sparrows, downy wood
peckers. nuthatches and bluejays. Every
boy and girl ought to care for the birds
a. they kill many insects which destroy
crops. A starting will often alight at the
door and wait for something to eat and
we can feed them crumbs, oatmeal or
meat The bluejays and meadowlarks
haunt the haystaeks in search of grain.
Some birds might flock to elm trees sc
we can hang pieces of suet on the trees
for them. When children bring home
their crumbs from school thsy can feed
the crumbs to the birds. Last winter
some birds came to my door and threw
some oatmeal and crumbs to them One
day found one nearly frozen. brought
it in the house, wrapped It in a blan-
ket and put 1t by the fire. After It be-
came warm, I fed it and put 1t out doors
again. I like to feed birds in the win
ter and I hope all other boys and girls
do.

Peeahontas Had Her way.

Dear Uncle Jed: Yesterday we read
about an Indian council. 1t was so in
terestlng that decided to write about 1t.
AS Smith entered the village where
lived Pewiiatan he saw a wonderful
sight. The old chief had prepared real
surprise fer Smith. Powhatan, tall,
gaunt and grim, was wrapped in a robe
of raccoon skins. He sat on bench be-
fore a wigwam fire. His wives sat at
his side. Along the wall was a row Of
women with faces and shoulders painted
bright red, and chains of white shells
around their necks. Before them stood
some of Pewhatan's bravest warriors.
This council was held to decide Smith s
fate. Two large stones were rolled in
before the chief A few Of Powhatan's
warriors sprang upon Smith and dragged
him to one of the stones and placed his
head upon It. Two warriors with clubs
in hand stood ready to slay Smith. but
Pocahontas rushed forward and threw
her arms around his neck and begged 70,
Smiths life. Pocahontas had her way
and Smiths life was saved.
