praise. Henry X. Bush-Brown, first

After viewing the exhibit one
seems nearer to the Great White
Spirit and understands the Indians
outlook on life. In color and de-
sign the pictures are akin to the
masterpieces of the music world.
In hearing symphonies one is led
through a maze of movements to a
magnificent climax and is thrilled |
at the realization of the wonder
full dream presented. In Standings
pictures one sees the climax, is
filled with a sense of amazement,
establishment and wonder at such
exquisite gems of painting. They
are not unlike these great climax
es of symphonies.

a WELCOME CONTRAST

Unfortunate Is the incidents are in themselves, it is pleasant to
have people like Knute Rockne and Bryan Untiedt filling space in
the big news, because their names and their deeds call forth no
enmity or bitter criticism. Their claim to fame and public atten-
ton does not spring from crime, politics, shady morals or rewarded
greed. A generousminded and wordweary public is glad tic do them
honor for the qualities that circumstances brought out Genius and
heroism is not scarce IN the many walks of life today, but they are
seldom placed o. q pedestal by the sensational. Our modern public
loves to be thrilled by virtue or wisdom or courage, but it is only
at rare intervals that u Ltndbergh nes al Atlantic.

THE NEWSPAPERS KNOW

Commenting on that part of the grand jury's report that
dealt with the illegal claims of The Wolf Point Herald, the
Poplar Standard has the kindness and sense of justice to say:
Officials and the newspaper fraternity will understand that
The Herald is blameess on these charges. AS official county
newspaper it had to made publications when and as ordered, and
simply claimed and was paid for work done s per Instructions

With Sun Meadow and Sis

for the $4,000 Preakness at
Pimlico Saturday narrowed today
to a dozen likely starters, with not
a Ally nor a western representa-
tive in the lot.
Mrs. Katherine Hits Sun Meadow
pulled UP with cough yesterday and
was declared out of the running, and
Dick Carman said that the Nevada
Stock Farms Siskin would be unable TO
start because of lame shoulder.
The fate of a highly regarded dark
horse, Walter J. Salmon'S Ladder, was
in the balance today as he was entered
for the first time at a distance OF a
mile and a sixteenth. He has won Tour
eprints OF 6 furlongs in row.

TOR the first time in the history
- Of the Washington City Duckpin
Associations annual tournaments
the current one at the Lucky
Strike is the twenty flrst-mixed dou-
bles will be a part OF the program and
tonight the newest feature will start,
Secretary Arville Ebersole announced
last night that over 20 doubles teams,
including virtually all Of the city's best
man and girl bowlers, will compete.
Ebersole also announced that through
out this week post entries will be ac-
cepted.
Two changes were recorded among
the leaders in the city association
CHAMPIONSHIPS as a result of last night S
bowling. The Meyer Davis quint went
to the front In class A with count
of 1873, while another Bill Wood COM
bination, the Lucky Strikes, are now
reposing in second place as result OF
1,771 set.
Hugh Waldrop's Dixie Pigs pinned
1,758 and are now third.
The other change Of the evening
came when Mike German, veteran
tenpinner and duckpinner from the
Agriculture Department, pulled up with
1893 in the class B singles and Is now
topping that division. In class D singles
w. RoSsiter went into tie for second
place with total ptnfau OF 353.
While nothing sensational was un-
covered during the evenings play the
scoring as q whole was the best that
has been shown during the current
event. N. Graft, shooting with the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co.
five, had high set for the night-402.
Parkway Filling Station pinmen,
champions Of the National Capita
League, were in position to make
trouble for the leaders at the end OF
the second game, but finished with
1,725. In their second game they had
10 strikes and 8 spares, 6 of the strikes
being double headers. Mag WOOD
made two and Jack Whalen the other.
Three Of their strikes came IN the last
box.
Henry Htser, high-average man of
the District League, shot with two
teams. He anchored for the American
Legion i've and then led of for the
Johnnies. both teams rolling on ad-
iacent alleys. Before the start /of play
Hiser was queried by Secretary Eber--
sole as to which team score he wanted
to count his all-events total. Leave
that to YOU" replied Hiser. "All right"
said Edible, suppose we make it the
Johnnies." Henry got 337 with the
Legion and 375 with the Johnnies. Not
a bad break.
Semi-finals of the elimination bowl
ing tournament at the Arcade Alleys,
Hyattsville, Md, will be held tomor-
row and Thursday nights.

n ONTREAL, May R.-
M Henri Deglane was recog-
nized as the wrestling
champion of the world
today by the Montreal Athletic
Commission as the result of bout
last night with Stranger Lewis, in
which Lewis was disqualified for
biting.
Deglane won the first fall with
q flying mare in 80 minutes OF
wrestling after Lewis had him
groggy with a series Of headlocks.
Billy Sandow, Lewis manager,
protested the fall, claiming that
Deglane had failed to hold Lewis
shoulders to the mat for three sec
onds. Sandow was escorted from
the ring by a squad OF policemen
at the order Of DR.. Castor Demers,
chairman Of the athletic commits
sion.
During the intermission the ath-
letic commission considered San
dow's protest and dismissed 1t.
When the bout was resumed, the
men struggled for nine minutes.
Then Lewis grabbed the ropes to
escape a hold by Deglane, who was
attempting deadlock. The next
moment Lewis had his opponent
pinned to the mat. Referee Trem-
blay awarded the fall.
Deglane arose holding his right
arm. The referee examined the
wrist and after a conference with
two members Of the athletic COM
mission announced that Lewis had
bitten Deglane's wrist Lewis was
disqualified and the bout awarded
to Deglane.
Lewis filed a protest, denying
that he had bitten Deglane.

HERRING Plentiful
IN UPPER POTOMAC

The herring, second of the run OF
denizens of the deep to visit the swift
waters of the Potomac River each
Spring, the white perch being the first,
made their appearance yesterday. COM
ing up with the high tide between 3
and o'clock.
Last year, for some mysterious reason,
these fish did not advance on the Po-
tomac in their usual large numbers.
This year, however, Joe Fletcher says
they are up in the swift waters around
Chain Bridge by the thousands, jump
ing all around.
These fish are Snagged with a three
pronged hook. They do not take bait,
and, like the shad, live on a microscopic
diet. getting their nourishment mainly
from the minute particles of marine
life in the water. Some Shad have also
been caught in the waters above men
toned.
The run Of herring will last about two
or three weeks
