selected as the best available material with
which to cover the relics to protect them dur
ing the copying process. For example. the
service sword was removed from its display
case to the Office Of the historian Of the Ma
tional Museum, where the artist blanketed 1t
in tinfoil, rubbed the tinfon gently with cotton
to COPY the impression and then applied q thin
layer Of plastic material The impression I'M
printed in the tinfon was thus transferred di-
rectly to the plaster, which subsequently was
used as the model In making the plastic COM
position copy.
The copy Of George Washington's sword
made in this novel way hardened like concrete
to provide q smooth surface which appears to
be metallic. It can be polished as IS steel with
an ordinary file. It challenges efforts to drive
q nail into it. The nail turns back on itself
and becomes blunted and misshappen the same
as when hammered against metal After the
copy Of the sword was made In this unique
manner, it was painted and decorated with
silverleaf in imitation Of the highly polished
surface of the real weapon.
T HE sword now on exhibition in the National
! Museum was one Of number which George
Washington owned during his military career
History records that this weapon was carried
by the commander in chief Of the American
Army during the Revolution as an emblem Of
outstanding military rank and title. It is
probable that Gen. Washington procured that
sword from James Bailey Of Fishkyll, N. Y,
who was the leading American dealer in such
weapons during Revolutionary War days. Mr..
Bailey was also authority on the repair Of
such warfare equipment. The service sword
unquestionably was of European origin, as were
practically all such weapons used by Colonial
officers during that day and age.
This sword was bequeathed to Samuel WASH
ington by his famous uncle. Later it was in-
herited by Samuel T. Washington, son Of Sam
uel Washington. The latter in 1843 presented
the sword and other war relics which Gen.

Here is the tale about puzzle which came

our most cherished relics OF Washington to
Paris for the big show?
The query was transmitted forthwith to the
National Museum, where various treasures once
used by our first President are now on display
in glasS-faced cases. including his war sword,
scabbard, mess kit military tent and trappings,
writing kit, uniform and the like.
Would the museum loan some Of these Co
lonial relics TO the committee in charge OF
the preparation of national exhibits?
No, was the prompt reply OF the museum
authorities after due consideration Of the re-
quest. The Washington relics rank among the
most sacred and treasured in our possession
It is contrary to the policy Of the National
Museum TO allow such material to leave its

WAR DEBT PLAN
Germany Is Told Bankers
Favor Cancellation.
BY FREDERICK KUH
United Press staff Correspondent

GENEVA, Sept. 15.-The convic-
ton that the United States is ready
to ease and ultimately cancel war
debts and reparationS as part of
international action to prevent war
was expressed to German Foreign
Minister DR.. Julius Curtius by Nor
man Davis, it was understood here
today.
Davis, first American member of
the League of Nations financial
committee and internationally
known expert, conferred with Cur
thus Monday night. He expressed
his views on international debts
as an integral part of a scheme to
outlaw war and restore interna-
tional confidence.
1t was understood that Davis IA
vored furthering Of the Hoover debt
moratorium plan before congress
convenes in December, if possible.
Although Davis belongs to the
finance committee in the capacity of
private expert, it is known that
his views largely represent those
of United states bankers. The
German delegation, therefore, at
tached great Importance to his eX-
change of ideas with DR.. CurtiuS.

thorough study of costs, methods
of manufacture, adaptability to
needs of general consumers and
other questions before going ahead
with plans to receive bids for sale
of natural gas to the Citizens Gas

Some American womens system

This is one of the advantages of

Easier marriage, in connection

Russian men and women to marry

Home life is more perfect than
in the old Russian regime. Though
both the husband and wife may
work all day, they are free to be
with their children in the evenings

Because of faith in their govern

Removal of obstacles blocking a
plan Of the Salvation Army to feed

portion Of the federal farm boards
wheat surplus was sought by Repre-
sentative Louis Ludlow of this dis
trict today.
The Salvation Army has asked
contribution of three carloads of
wheat, TO be milled into flour by an
indianapolis milling concern, and
distributed to the army's forty-two
bases in the state by United States
army lorries from Ft. Benjamin
Harrison.
The Salvation Army, in as many
Instances as possible, also would ar
range for baking the flour into
bread, to be given away, or sold to
consumers at penny loaf. The
plan would not provide competition
1nasmuch as beneficiaries otherwise
would buy no wheat Ludlow con-
tended.
Ludlow sought the contribution of
the wheat from the federal board
but was informed by Chairman
James G. Stone that the marketing
act is not a relief measure, and that
the board could not donate the
grain although it can play an i'm
portant role in meeting the crisis
which we are now facing by ar
ranging to make the stocks held by
stabilizing corporations as accessible
as possible to units of government
and relief agencies"
Ludlow today wrote Stone, asking
Tor specific information on how
