PIERCE COUNTY ONCE
HAD COLLINS" TRAGEDY

A correspondent in the Pierce
County Herald, reminded by the re-
cent Floyd Collins tragedy, relates
a somewhat similar affair which hap
pened near Beldenville fifty-four
years ago as follows:
Fifty -four years ago Mr.. Depew
was digging an open well on the
land where Andrew Bjork lives near
the Beldenville railway trestle. When
down about 25 feet the fimsy curbing
that he had used gave way an he was
buried under tons of earth.
THAT was in the days before tele-
phones, but in almost no time at all
more than a hundred men gathered
there. All set to work to dig him out.
although they knew that the chances
were more than a million to one that
he was killed almost instantly.
"For twenty-four hours they dug
almost necessarily before they re-
covered his lifeless body. There were
many cave-ins during the work Of
rescue, and Horace Greedy was nearly
another victim.
"There are still quite a number Of
people near here who remember this
accident"

FARMERS CAN SHIP
CALVES CHEAPER NOW

That Wisconsin farmers may ship
calves on a more equitable basis to
market, new rule effective Jan. Is,
1925, has been passed by the state
railroad commission, placing mini
mum weight on straight carloads of
calves.
Formerly calves shipped between
points within the state were subject
to attic minimum weights and cattle
rates, according to Marvin A Schaars.
of the marketing department, Wis
consin College of Agriculture. Hence
14,400 pound load of calves would
be charged on the basis of $4,000
pounds at the cattle rate.
Today separate minimum-16,GG0
pounds for standard 36-foot car
is placed on calves which are under
six months of age and average
weight not exceeding 300 pounds. The
sheep rate, however, applies, provid-
ing that the charges do not exceed
those based on cattle rate and cattle
minimum weight in straight carloads.
A carload of 10000 pounds of
calves shipped from Madison to Mil
waukee at the sheep rate would have
q transportation cost of $3.50 for a
standard 36-foot car. Formerly such
car based on cattle minimum
weight and cattle rate would cost
$34.10. However, a $1,000 pound
load of calves would be shipped at
the cattle minimum weight and rate
since that total charge would no. be
less than $1,000 pounds at sheep rate.
In no case will the charge exceed that
based on cattle minimum weight and
cattle rate.
'This is decided improvement for

MAILING TIPS FROM
THE POST OFFICE

Just word regarding the tele-
phone in the Post Office, and We will
devote the rest of today's space to a
poem by Postmaster O'Callaghan of
Nashville, Tenn.
The Post Office phone is for use
of rural carriers in notifying country
patrons to meet them to collect in
sured, registered on special delivery
parcels, and for use of other post Of
fee employees in conducting the busi-
ness of the office.
1t is not to be used for the purpose
of answering inquiries of patrons re-
garding their personal mail, and at
tention is called to the fact that it is
against the rules to answer such
phone inquiries unless the post Of
fee employee is absolutely certain of
the identity of the one making the in
inquiry.
Postmaster O'Callaghan's poem,
published recently in column which
he conducts in a Nashville Sunday
edition, is as follows:
Postal Clerks Troubles
"P. S.-When you mail letters
loose, it's foul ball-it delays the
game"
Forward, the Mail Brigade!
Was there man dismayed!
MOTTO the workers knew
Some few had Numbered.
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to strain the eye,
Theirs but to work and sigh
With mail piled mountain high
Minus street and number
Letters to right of them;
Circs to the left Of them,
Parcels in front of them
Tattered and sundred.
Stormed at with catalogs,
And post cards-unhappy dogs:--
Some folks just can't spell;
Some write just like 81"
While postal clerks wondered.
Give us plain address
Then therell be no guess
Making the Devils mess
And dead letters plundered.
Why not cooperate?
Why not be up to date?
Why let your mail be late
Why be darned old skate?

Farmers felt for years that it was

calves when it was impossible to get
that weight in the car. And what
tanned the denunciation still more
was that the calves could be shipped

A REMARKABLE symbolical paint
: \ ing by George Inness. jr. \, A.,
entitled The Only Hope was ex-
hibited privately to the President and
a few others in the boardroom of
the Corcoran Gallery of Art this week
This painting, which is over nine feet
high and six feet wide. was painted
by Mr.. Inness last Summer at Crags-
moor and has been shown during the
past Winter in Mr.. Inness' studio at
Tarpon Springs, Fla. Its purpose is
primarily to bring peace on earth and
1t points to the only way that this
end can be accomplished 1t was. not
produced, as are most pictures, to set
forth objective form and color, but

rather to visualize an idea. 1t is
therefore essentially subtle.
In an explanatory statement which
accompanies the picture the artist
says:
'I dreamed, and as l dreamed the
Interpreter came, and by the hand
He led me to a mighty city that wae
good TO look upon" This city had
attained IA culture never before
known. In wealth, in science. Iitera-
ture and art il stood alone through
out the world" But it was a place
of unrest; the vision of love" had
been swallowed up in the desire for
wealth and selfish ends" Where is
rest and peace to be found? In the
painting Mr.. innesS shows the sym
bolic city destroyed: no human life
remains. The only thing that stirs
is the miasmic mist that rises from
the river" The world, while suggest
ing past power. is veiled i'm mist But
as the gazer looks he sees the sun
rising in the east. and it seems tc
grow in intensity, TO envelop the ruins
in its beauty, TO proclaim the break
ing of another dawn. The sky is ra-
diant: little white dove is seen de-
scending, and in the center of the
great sun gradually one discerns the
Christ himself-the Light of the
World-the embodiment of love--tbe
only hope.
So striking is this INSTALLATION of
great idea, that two practical bust
ness men, Irving r Bush of New
York and Edward w. Box of PhiIa =
delphia, have arranged to have this
picture shown in the great educa-
tional institutions throughout the
country 1T is shortly to start on a

portraits and figure studies. but land
scapes and genre: There are AZ pic

majority of which are oils, a few

American and Swedish collectors,
among whom mention may be made
of Charles Deering, Thorsten Laurin,
Herman Lamm, Axel Jacobsen and
others.
Zorn was undoubtedly a master
painter, and though all of these pic
lures may not show him at his best,
il is representative collection, and a
number of the canvases set forth may
be reckoned among the masterpieces
of our day. For instance. The

self-portrait, which occupies the

THE third special exhibition set
forth at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art at this time, one which Will un-
doubtedly engage much attention and
call forth genuine admiration, con-
sists of portraits and scenes in sil-
houettes cut by Baroness Maydell,
refugee from the Soviet regime, who
has taken up her residence in New
York. She is said to have originated
the group portrait in silhouette, and
certainly she displays great skill and
cleverness in her rather complicated
renditions. Among the works which
are on exhibition is portrait in
silhouette of an American family
composing an orchestra, each playing
some instrument. Among those whose
portraits appear in this unique ex-
hibit are Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, Nine.
Eleonore Duse and the Grand Ouch
ess of luxembourg. There is large
group of the du Pont family and
smaller ones of the children of Mr..
and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, jr., as
well as an excellent little portrait
of Miss Katherine Dumbell ~and a
group portrait of Mr.. and'Mrs. Bush
Brown and their maid of all work.
All are excellent characterizations.

BY LEILA MECHLIN.

VHERE is so much of interest
this week in the way of ex-
hibitions that 1t is difficult to
know where to begin or how
to restrict comment within
reasonable bounds. At the Corcoran
Gallery of Art there opened on last
Thursday two notable special exhibi-
tions, either of which is by itself an
event of note. These are an eXhibi-
ton of paintings by Anders Zorn, the
great modern master of Sweden, and
collection of paintings made in
Spain of Spanish subjects by Maurice
Fromkes, a cotemporary American
artist. Both of these collections are
making a tour of the principal mu-
seums. 1t merely happens that they
arrived in Washington simultane-
ously. That they should do so, how
ever, is interesting. for Sweden and
Spain are the two countries where
art has found in recent years the
most individual expression.
Fromkes, of course, is not Span
lard, but he spent four years in Spain
and thoroughly acquired the Spanish
manner; in short, he painted Spain
and Spanish people as Spaniard
might have done, seeing them not
from an alien viewpoint, but as might
a native. The same power of SYM
pathetic understanding is manifest
ed by the Swede, AnderS Zorn, for
when he painted portraits of Ameri
cans it may be noted in this exhibit
tion that he did not make them 9TH
er than they were: he did not give
them swedish character. This is un-
usual. Zuloaga, for example, when
he paints American women paints
hem a. Spaniards.
Zorn was undoubtedly considered
