southeast corner of the Capitol grounds where
it remained many months before it was finally
placed upon the lofty tholus Of the building.
The figure was then oxidated by an acid
solution, which gave the bronze rich, uniform
tint that has remained unchanged to the
keen disappointment to the s:atues admirers,
who advocated nothing less than gilt for their
favorite.
Clark Mills, the founder of this famous statue
was an American sculptor of considerable prom
inence during the middle of the last century.
His statue Of jackson in Lafayette Park In
Washington was the first equestrian statue
erected in this country. He also executed the
equestrian statue of Washington at Twenty
third street and Pennsylvania avenue. Mills
was born in the State of New York in 1916 of
poor parents. While working a plasterer in
Charleston, s. c., he began modelling without
instruction. His first marble statue was q bust
of Calhoun, for which he was awarded Q gold
medal. -
The great Statue of Freedom might have been
a work Of art to the public, but to the wOrkmen
employed on the Capitol it was just $4,000
pounds of bronze to hoist up the 2S7 feet Of the
great cast-iron dome of the building The
eleVating process presented great difficulties and
care in handling. Sometimes the statuary pro-
crossed upward only few feet day. However.
after almost two weeks Miss Freedom was
finally placed upon her dome pedestal, where
she has stood for more than half century, her

to execute the design and in a short time he
sent two photographs of proposed models to
the Secretary OF War, Jefferson Davis, for his
approval. The Secretary was profoundly i'm
pressed by the grace and power Of one of the
models, but he did not like the liberty cap,
which was emblematic of emancipated slaves
Americans are free-born. He also objected to
the bundle of rods which the artist had en-
ployed to suggest the functions Of the Roman
hctor. Secretary Davis feared the symbolism
might be lost on future generations.
The artist then abandoned the rods and
changed the headdreSs to helmet crested with
an eagles head and sheaf of feathers sug-
gested by the costume of the American Indians.
When the head was remodeled only nine stars
remained in the coronet. The first design had

Freedom which crowns the dome of
the United States Capitol was
yelled December z 1863-67 years ago.
The goddess did not, however, settle
down to life on her lofty shrine until she had
experienced many precarious adventures. Like
most women, her frst-and laSt-troubles arose
over what she should wear, and somewhere in
the controversy over the original model Miss
Freedom lost her classic liberty cap and part
of the stars in her crown-four to be exact.
The sculptor died before the statue was hIla1Iy
plaster model from Italy was shipwrecked and
abandoned. After many months the sections
of the model arrived one by one in Washington
But the perilous voyage did not end the statues
difficulties. clever Italian artist in Washing
ton, who put the sections of the model together
for exhibition, completely hid all the joints and
screws with plaster. When the founder was
ready to cast the statue the workman stead
tasty refused to take it apart except upon his
own terms.
The merry Congressman said to have
snapped jibeS about the "monstrous goddess"
and some of the more austere lawmakers even
deemed gOddeSSes inferior and advocated nothing
less than god for the crowning glory of the
dome Of the United States Capitol. After the
statue was cast in bronze she stood, like q
dereliet, in the corner of the Capitol grounds
for many long months before she was finally
elevated to her predestined pinnacle; even after
that there was q movement in Congress to have
the terrible plumage" shorn from her helmet

AVA VA4V ~SOAnS
Each member of that trio now
is playing in the American league.
Averill with Cleveland, johnson
with Detroit and Jolley with Chi
cago. Averill and johnson came
up in 1929 and both were ranked
as definite stars at the conclusion
of the campaign. after they had
fielded brilliantly and batted we'll
over 300. Jolley will be in the
outfield when Chicago plays the
Griffmen today at the local park.
Jolley the third member of the
combination has just arrived in
the American League, as a mem
ber of the White Sox, although
he always was rated on the Coast
as a better hitter than either
Averill or johnson.
The giant ArkanSan was
the first man DOnie Bush
asked for when he signed his
contract to manage the White
SOx. Charles COmiSky wasted
no time in purchasing JOlIey
and at a big cost.
Bush. who saw Jolley in spring
games for several seasons believes
he will be one of the batting SenSa-
tionS of the year and will field &C
ceptably for the Sox.
Jolley is three and one-half
inches over the standard six feet
in height and weighs 218. But he
is graceful in his work and any
thing out slow in getting over
ground. His batting style is all
his own but there is an easy flow
of rhythm in his swing that re-
minds one of Skillful golfer and
tremendous power in his drive.
Some claim Jolley is not a good
fielder but the same thing was
said about Averill when he joined |
Cleveland. Roger Peckinpaugh
made Averill one of the best |
fielders in baseball by spending
hours chasing Earl around the
outfield in pursuit Of fly balls.
