POTATO DUMPING IS
LATEST ACCUSATION
MADE AGAINST HUNS

London, Sept 16.-Potato dump
ing is the latest accusation made
against Germany by tariff reform
ers who for some time have been
clamoring for the imposition of
higher duties against imports from
Germany. Not long ago British
farmers were getting from 10 to IS
pounds n ton for their potatoes.
Now they find them a drug in the
market at prices as low as 2
pounds.
"The explanation OF this fall"
says one authority lis wholesale
dumping by German and Dutch
growers. The German govern
ment, before and during the war,
stimulated the growth of potatoes
in order to provide a reserve of
food and also for the distillation
of alcohol. This overplus has been
thrown on the British market, the
only one which will admit it with
out heavy duties, and it has been
sold for what it will fetch. AS a
result the unfortunate British
farmer is being reduced to some
thing very near despair, and in
some cases is refusing to market
his crop"

10 NOT pIdc-
tice thrift is not that they do not
appreciate its advantages, but
they never can bring themselves
to the point of making the start.
1t is so much easier to procrasti-
month or next year" But the
best time to begin thrift is the
present moment. Tomorrow will
bring its difficulties, its problems
and its temptations. Nothing
whatever can be gained by put
ting off the day of beginning in
thrift.
1t should be borne in mind also
the amount Of money one saves at
the beginning is not Of Importance.
The chief factor in the process il
making the actual start. After
this has been accomplished, ones
own enthusiasm will assure the
saving of the largest possible
sums. 1t is well to make the mat
ter Of saving money a part Of
ones regular routine. Save sys-
tematically.
1t also is we'll TO keep a record
Of ones expenditures. In brief,
try to run your personal affairs
with much the same accuracy and
careful accountancy methods that
are practiced by wisely admins
tered business corporations.
Make the start in thrift today.
Do not be even discouraged if the
first sum you save is only a few
pennies.
The important question is not
how much, but when.

STORAGE COSTS KEEP TIE
PRICE OF OIL UP" SAYS
MAGNATE DOHENY.

speaking of the oil situation"
says Edward l.. Doheny, oil mag
nate, sit is well within my knowl-
edge that in the present day we
are confronted with an unusual and
interesting problem that obtains in
general throughout the United
States, but particularly in southern
California. Today, it is a matter IF
record that the oil production is
far greater than the capacity of re
fineries. This nocessitates storage
which, according to authentic fig
ures, amounts to So or 40 cents per
barrel. Naturally. this is keeping
the price OF oil higher than it
would be. 1t also mitigates against
the full use of the by-pr ducts OBJ
tanned. The condition, am sure,
will right itself in time. but at
present it is an amazing problem,

DETECTLETS
BY DAVID DART
Being Episodes in the Life OF Keene, Detector.

, Keene leaned over, his hand press
ed to the mans heart. He stood
up, smiling. The expression de-
noted wonderful calm. He noted
his position. He looked about him.
Then he bent over the PROSTATE
form once more. He spoke as he
worked.
"You failed to notice" he said to
the beautiful girl as she stood
wringing her hands, that you were
sitting only few yards from the
golf course. There is a spot on
Percy's temple. The flesh is CORFU
gated. Somebody pulled a drive
and the golf ball hit Percy's deli
cate temple. He'll come to pres-
emily"
"Ah," cried the beautiful girl,
II knew you would save me-"
Percy opened his eyes. Gosh, I
he cursed, violently.

might occur to you, that your two

1855 he visited America In company
with Benjamin Franklin to make the
Washington statue ordered by the legis-
Iature Of Virginia. Houdon's reputation
was then paramount and secure. 1t
has lasted to this day. More than 200
portrait busts and statues of the great
do him credit. "Diana, the H~untress''
is probably the best of his nude
female figures. His portrait statue of
Voltaire 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 n a
mystery.
1t is a colossal wooden figure, 9h
feet high and weighing 500 pounds.
Just now 1t stands In the basement of
the city hall of Wilmington. DEL,
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 1t formerly stood In Bowling
Green, New York.
Did it ever stand In Bowling Green?
The City History club of New York
city nno find any trace of such a
statue. The art commission In the
city hall of New York 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 1895 or ever later.
Here is the chronology of the stat
ne. SO far rs 1t is known at present:
1S45-Sold at a New York municipal
auction sale for $3.50 to a Mr..
Jacques, South Norwalk, Conn.
1860-At the death of Mr.. Jacques
in 1860 a Mr.. Sch'ff became its owner.
Next owner. Antonio Decorate; next
owner Frank Theobald, tobacco dealer,
New York.

Fifth avenue in New York's
celebration Of the centenary of Wash
ington's Inauguration. Illustrations in

show the arch with the statue in place.
~1907-Joseph Lehman, t~obacconist,
tried to sell 1t to the New York His
torical society for $1,000. incidentally
Lehman used the statue as an adj
vertisement.
l913-Stood in front of a barber
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 Du Pont
for $500 to give to the Historical
Society Of Delaware.
There are many printed illusions
to the statue and all say. ''saId to
have stood In Bowling Green"
If 1t didn't stand there, where did
1t stand?
Some day the Delaware Historical
society will have a home of Its own.
And then this mystery statue of
George Washington will have a per-
manen resting place.

his lifetime. Now 1t seems as II every
method of portralture-except Of
course photography-had been used.
There r drawings, sketches. studies,
oil paintings. water colors. medals.
coins. postage stamps, silhouettes and
statues and busts in marble. bronze
and wood.
OF course these Iikenesses do not
all look alike. and a topic Of perennial
Interest is: What did George Wash
Ington really look Iikef There are
three representations Of Washington
that have been general ~favorites and
hold their popularity The favorite pro
iie has been Houdon's. with Stuart's
canvasses for the full face and Trum-
bulls for the figure. Houdon's statue
at Richmond. Va, gives US the mill
tary profile" Stuart's full-face por-
trait Is called the presidential head"
TrumbuIl certainly should have known
him well enough to give rs his bodily
appearance. Stuart is said to have adj
mitfed that the Houdon marble is 81
perior to his canvas as a likeness. add
ing that 1t was the only n 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 Washington's con-
te~mporaries that his figure had certain
marked peculiarities. He was shallow
through the chest, did not grow small
at the waist, had long legs and very
large hands. For the rest. he stood a
little over six feet and weighed be-
tween 21O and 300 pounds-an ex-
ceedingiy a~ble-bodied citizen.
These bodily peculinrities are all
faithfully brought out In Houdon's
statue. The famous French sculptor
took careful body measurements OF
his subject and n mould of his face.
From this mould he took a plaster
mask. which ne took back with him
to France; a copy Of II is preserved
In the mint at Philadelphia. Houdon
was a perfectly trained and competent
technician. He produced easily and
abundantly In marble and bronze to
the satisfaction Of his contemporaries.
So there seems no reason to doubt
that his statue of George Washington
which has many times been repro
duced-Is an admirable reproduction
In marble of the Father OF His
Country.
Yet the controversy over the "best
likeness" of Washington lever dies.
For example. Paul Bartlett, the
sculptor, said of the Houdon statue I:
~ had always thought that Houdon
was selected to make the portrait
statue of Washington on cou of
the general desire that this important
statue should be by the best sculptor
Of the time, and that Houdon was CON
sIdered as such. 1t has been a dis
agreeable surprise to learn that
Canova was strongly preferred and
TINT Houdon was chosen only as second

best and because Canova could not be
induced TO leave Rome"
This opens up some interesting o r
respondence at b time the state Of
Virginia ordered the statue. Under
date of December 10, 1884, Jefferson
writes to General Washington himself:

mitted to DIR. Franklin and myself. he
