WASHINCT0N'S
 BUST IS GIVEN TO TERI RITORY
Ceremonies Take Place in Office of Governor
 in Capitol

Ceremonies m connection with a presentation of a bust of George Washington to Alaska were held today in the office of Gov. George A. Parks in the Federal and Ter ritorial Building.
 The bust is a replica of the fa- nous bust of the first President brough to the United States by Representative in Congress Sol Bloom. The presentation was made by Mrs. Edith Irwin Hobart, Presi- q mt General of the Daughters of the American Revolution Accept ance on behalf of the Territory was made by Gov. George A. Parks.
 Came from England
 The original bust from which the replica was made, found its way into the United States from an unknown existence of 130 years in England.
 When Representative Bloom, who is Associate Director of the United States George Washington Bicen- tennial Commission, returned from Europe last summer, he brought back with him the art rarity It was the marble bust of Washing ton by the great English sculptor of the late 18th and early 18th centuries, Joseph Nollekens. This bust was not executed from life, but from an original painting by Gilbert Stuart; and, in the 130 years or so of it's existence, has been viewed by but few Americans. AS matter of fact many Ameri- can art critics have never even heard of it.
 Nollekens, one of the best known sculptors in all of Europe at the turn of the 18th century, was born in London, of Dutch parents, on August II, 1737. In 1760 he went to Rome where he soon made his mark in the world of art Twelve years later, in 1772, at the early age of 35, Nollekens became a member of the London Royal Acad- emy
 Reputation Rose Steadily
 His reputation rose steadily. He made busts of the leading people of his day. Included in his long list of patrons, to mention just a few, are: King George, III, the Prince of Wales, Lord Grenville, Charles James Fox, Samuel John son and Oliver Goldsmith.
 Washington's busts were even then commanding large prices both in America and in England. AL lured by the prospect of a hand some profit and intrigued by the personality and reputation of Gen. eral Washington, Nollekens set to work and produced his bust which is now coming into prominence.
 Bloom Owns Original
 Representative Bloom is the pos sessor of the original Nollekens bust and hundreds of replicas have already found their way to all parts of the United States. Every United States Senator and Rep- resentative has been presented with one of these busts and the United States George Washington Bicen- tennial Commission is now making arrangements to present one tc each of the forty eight Governors of the States.
 The original Nollekens bust oi George Washington is now open tc view at the headquarters of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission, Washing. ton Building, Washington, D. c.

Iowa has Plan
for Unemployed

The comprehensive program inaug-
urated by Ohio to alleviate the un-
employment situation in that State
is revealed in a report just released
by the United States Department of
Commerce. In this report is pre-
sented a step-by-step account of the
program which, it is pointed out, was
carried through with strict attention
to the working of the smallest de-
tails. The results accomplished in
the speeding up of public works and
the stimulation of private industry
have been such that it is felt that
publication of the methods employ
ed may provide suggestions to au-
thorities in other States who are
striving toward similar ends.
The organization set up in Ohio
resulted from a painstaking study of
all factors in that State directly or
indirectly related to employment. AS
State, county, and the municipal gov
ernments each have jurisdiction wei
a wide variety of public works, it was
essential that in the organization
program each Of these government
al units be given due consideration.
When President Hoover issued his
call last November for cooperation
Of State governments in the unem-

ployment emergency, the Governor OF
Ohio as a first step Immediately call
ed into conference heads of all State
departments, and plans were at once
formulated to speed up construction
projects coming under State juris-
diction. At the same time mayors
of all large cities in the State were
urged to follow the same course in
Connection with municipal projects
and to report to the Governor the
amount of work which could be put
under contract without delay.
The third, and perhaps the most
important step, was the organization
for the different counties for unem-
ployment relief purposes. This was
accomplished by utilizing the services
of nine Statewide organizations, re-
presenting industrial management,
labor, agriculture and m Two
members of each of these organiza-
tions were appointed by the Cover
o to form a temporary State COM
mittee on unemployment for the def
mite purpose Of organizing temper
airy county committees. Each of the
organizations represented on the
State committee was asked to APP
point in each county some one to
serve as a member of a temporary
county committee. The county COM
mittees having been organized they
were asked to assume responsibility
for two things: First, stimulating
private industry and enterprises, and
second, promoting the speeding up
and extension Of public works. The
first meetings of the county commit
tees were attended by representatives

A very greedy old lady emploked
a certain John Colquehoun to cut the
grass upon her lawn and employed
him to cut it very close, adding as a
reason for the injunction, that one
inch at the bottom was worth two at
the top. Having finished his work
much to her satisfaction the old lady
got out her whiskey bottle and a Ia
pering wine glass which she filled
about half full. John suggested that
it would be better to fill it up, slyly
adding, Gill it up mann, for its not
like the grass; an inch at the tops
worth two at the bottom"

THEY TELL Me

and the western making the new
Twelfth district.
Because of the bitter fight on
Harry G.. Leslie and Ralph Updike,
incumbent congressman in 1928,
Marion county went Democratic by
10000 plurality for Frank Daley,
and $3.50 for Louis Ludlow.
General dissatisfaction with the
G.. o. P. county domination under
direction of George V. Coffin with
the economic distress, put the
Democrats over last year by plur-
atty of 1885.
This would indicate that party is
firmly in the saddle, but it must be
remembered that despite the Daley
plurality Hoover carried the county
by $4,000 votes in 1923; and except
for the 1923 and 1880 elections, the
Republicans have named the con-
gresham and until last year the
county officials.
Optimistic Democrats should
know that no election is in the bag
until all the votes are counted and
not even then in Marion and Lake
counties.
