SEA DISASTERS
ARE LAID To
CURSE
lceIandic Fishermen Hold Re-
cent Troubles Due to
Sailors Bane
BY international News Service.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, June 49,
More than the usual number of
Icelandic fishing boats have been
lost at sea this winter and now
the superstitious fisher folk fear
they have brought disaster upon
themselves by testifying against
Thomas Worthington, captain of
the trawler earl Kitchener" when
he was twice convicted of fishing
unlawfufly in Icelandic waters.
The fishermen disliked Worthing-
toms methods. Often. they say, he
sneaked near the island at night
and trawled all over the fishing
ground, leaving the nets Of the
poor fishermen hopelessly en-
tangled or torn to pieces.
But many were the times when
Worthington extended them a help
ing hand When terrific gales
came up unexpectedly and caught
the little fishing boats far out from
shore, Worthington stood by with
his trawler and took the poor fish
ermen safely to port.
Having been caught twice and
fined. the second time $4,000 gold
kroner, Worthington's traWler no
longer inhabits Ice'andic waters.
Thus the fishermen have lost their
protector and that's the reason,
they say, that so many fishing yes.
sells have foundered recently and
so many scores Of men have been
drowned.

STILL WATTS
ON MADDEN
Officials, Meantime, Start on
Plans for Two Bathing
Places Next Year

With plans for reopening OF the
Tidal Basin bathing beach at a
complete standstill today, owing to
the failure of Congressman Martin
B. Madden of Illinois to respond to
kilograms requesting his approval,
park officials today have turned
their attention to elaborate ar
rangements for next year.
Plans for opening of extensive
modern bathing beaches at Key
Bridge and Jones Point will be laid
before Congress Immediately after
the opening Of the coming session
in December.
Four months will be required to
properly prepare these beaches
it was estimated today, and efforts
will be made to secure from Con-
gress a 100000 emergency appro-
priation not later than February l.,
to be Immediately available.
If these funds are obtained work
probably will begin before the mid
die of February on preparation of
the Georgetown beach by dredging,
spreading of sand, construction Of
seawalls and erection of bath
houses. Similar work probably will
begin about the same time at Jones
Point.
Congressman Madden Is not at
his home and the kilograms sent
him have not yet been placed in
his hands. it was stated today.
Hope for the reopening of the
beach has been increased by the
approval of the plan voiced late
yesterday afternoon by President
Coolidge.
Madd ms approval, however, is
regarded as vital, despite the Prasi.
dents approval, and the beach prob
ably will not be opened without his
consent.

Collectors, always keen on the
scent for something new that -
ANTIQUE are buying these portraits
wherever they can find them.
1t should not be imagined, how
ever, that the art Of making silhOu-
cites is among the lost arts, there
are certain firms who make an
tiuue silhouettes" to order and
supply the art and antique shops.
The great vogue Of the shadow
portrait occurred in the late eight
zenith ana early nineteenth cen.
The origin Of the term .silhou-
cite" developed during the reign Of
Louis XIV, the reign which preceded
the Revolution.
The Kings minister OF finance,
Etienne de Silhouette. foreseeing the
coming calamities. urged economy
upon an unwilling court. He was
laughed out Of office, mad there
upon everything chap was called
q la silhouette.
England, however. had to wait
until the great Edouart, crossing
the Channel, and iracticing his
marvellous black art, bestowed the
name upon profile cutting. Even
in France the word Silhouette was
not finally accepted by the Acad-
envy before 1885.
The greatest of scissor-artists
were Auguste Edouart, the French
enigre, whose splendid work was
the equally iIIustrious William
Henry Brown. Of this country. And
MIRA Beetham. an English profilist
of the highest standing, did not
hesitate. In her earlier examples, to
cut black paper, although she in.
variably softened the effect with
delicate. additional lines.
Few people, excepting, OF course,
the ardent amateur, comprehend
the infinite variety OF the siIhou-
of black and mounted on white
paper. Occasionally one finds q
variant Of this process achieved by
cutting the silhouette from white,
mounting it on black.
They were hollow-cut, and then
backed with paper, or silk, and
sometimes with velvet, thus giving
an incredibly softened effect.
Desmond Coke declares, however,
that the best siIhouettists never
touched scissors. ''Profiles were
painted on cardboard, on chalk. or
composition. on ivory, on glass, on
china. Those shadow heads adorned
lockets and rings and snuff boxes.
and famous collections boast valu-
able examples of royal portraits on
Worcester vases.
ISilhouettes were used in duplicate
Just as today we have photographs
made; they served as valentines
and funeral cards.
Not people Of the middle-cla
only were interested in them. The

is reported to have admired them

were called "profiles a Ia POM

them alive. BY the same reasoning,
any gardener can raise roses, but few
can raise ladies' slippers.
With only a few native wild flowers
has DR.. Bartsch been able to produce
better results under cultivation than
they show in the wild state. He con-
Ssders 1t considerable Of a triumph
that he has been able to make some
of the native orchids do as well in
captivity as they do in the woods.
Cultivates Many Varieties.
Among the Washington wild flowers
which he is cutivating successfully
are: Pink. yellow and large white and
pink ladies' slippers, ladies' tresses,
snowy orchid, rattlesnake orchid.
orange fringed orchid, ragged fringed
orchid, purple orchid. snake-mouthed
orchid, nodding orchid. grass pinks,
putty root. coral root and adder's
month. These all have been fairly
common in local woods in past years.
In addition he has 32 species of native
ferns and SO species obtained from
other sections.
Near the center of the garden is a
pool where he is cultivating success
fully both the broad and narrow-leaved
cat-tails. arrow leaves, peltandra,
pickerel weed, duck weed and yellow
sunfish and top minnows. From the
center of the pool rises column bear
ing lotus leaf cast in cement From
the center of this rises a slender pipe
bearing the fruit capsule of the lotus
cast in bronze which is converted into
miniature nozzle sending out a spray
for the birds all the season.
Safe Bath for Birds.
The whole is a device perfected by
DIR. Bartsch to enable birds to bathe in
safety from cats. With the water
underneath the cats cannot get foot
hold to jump at the feathered visitors.
Consequently DR.. Bartsch's garden has
become one of the favored spots in
Washington for birds. He counted IT
species at the bath in Is minutes dur
ing the migratory period this Spring.
Besides the ferns and orchids. DIR.
Bartsch has a large bed of local eri-

with ordinary and not particularly
promising American wild flowers.
The making of a wild flower garden
is considerably more of a problem than
to cultivate plants which have been
accustomed to the attention of man
for generations. The wild flowers of
the District have chosen their own
habitats in the swamps and woods.
Their homes are exactly suited to their
needs. They have selected exactly the
right conditions of soil, shade and
moisture in which they can thrive and
resent any removal.
AS result the only persons likely
to succeed with a wild flower garden
are those who have made an intense
scientific study. Any farmer can raise
cows, but very few keep lions in cap
tivity with much chance of keeping

cacious plants such as the rhododend'
rons, azalias and laurels which are
thriving under cultivation.
On one clump of the native golden
star, which grows about foot high
and bears yellow blossoms about an
inch across early in Spring. he counted
96 flowers one day this Spring. This is
much better record than the flower
ordinarily makes when Wild vino
flowers, pink shooting stars and spider
wurt also have shown a tendency &c
improve under cultivation.
Need Careful Watching.

Dr. Bartsch, "one must keep constant
