jackhammers. splitting the high 81

proclaim through the echoing wales
OF the Black Hills the inauguration
Of the greatest sculpture ever con-
ceived by man.
Gutzon Borglum. sculptor. and
his crew Of laborers have started
the Transformation Of granite
Mount Rushmore into figures OF
Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and
Roosevelt, created on scale
which dwarfs all other heroic
sculpture Of the ancient or modern
world.
The work has begun at the top
of the mountain with the head OF
Washington. Jackhammers. run by
compressed air. drill lines of holes
into which wedges are driven,
chipping away the granite.
Each figure is to measure 265
feet from the top of its 60-foot
head to the point where 1t merges
at the waist into the mountain.
The finished group will stand ass
feet above the surrounding terrain
and the figures are being carved in
the proportion of men that tall.
The Statue Of Liberty is 305 feet
high from base to torch, the actual
figure Is ISL feet tall. and the head
measures II feet-less than third
as large as those in the Rushmore
group. Lees head in Borglum's
Stone Mountain enterprise is 81
feet high. The Colossus of Rhodes,
marvel of antiquity, is 96 feet high
and the Sphinx stands 100 feet
above the desert.
Borglum hopes to complete the
Washington figure this summer,
and one year thereafter. No
where else. he says. is there a rock
amenable to such sculpture. for
Mount Rushmore is of fine-grained.
unstratified granite possibly a
million years old, but live and
young.
The work is to cost s4S5. 900 and
is to be finished within five years
with an entablature on the noun
tainside below the statues. so feet
high and 100 feet long. containing
an account of the territorial eX-
pansion of the United States. The
part of the mountain behind the
statues will be cut away. The
money is coming from private SUBJ
scription.
The site of the Rushmore sculp-
ture is in the Harvey federal forest
preserve three miles from Key
)stone. feldspar mining town. The
mountain was named in 1886 by
Charles E. Rushmore, now New
York lawyer. It is visible from
many points in and about the
Black Hills.

mingle with students at the Sor-

listening in on cultural subjects be-
came general. Most Of the listen

as few French women Of scholarly
tendency have sufficient times since
the war to attend the lectures.
Art, literature, history and Ian

chosen by the auditors. Oriental
history and religion also interest
them. Attending these lecture
courses is becoming more popular
because examinations are optional.

whom you vaguely fear. And a
hundred anxious questions twisted
through Sally's brain. Why had
he looked at her like that? And
why was he so unmoved at the
fact that she was not going to
marry Tubby Wells? She wouldn't
allow herself to think of all the
money she owed Dan Shevlin now
she did not even dare glance at
the flowing lines OF the frock she
was wearing and that he had paid
for. Only something, as deep as
instinct, warned her that he was q
man who had never given any
thing for nothing, and that not so
far ahead she might find herself in
real trouble through him.
To drive away theses restless
thoughts, her mind scared suddenly
to Jerry Evesham, on his dingy old
boat in the harbor. Tomorrow
tomorrow she would see him again!
