"There is really no original
except the clay from which the
sculptor mOIdS his portrait.
From this clay model casts are
taken. Some casts are good,
others are bad. All can be
cIasSed as original reprOduc-
tiOnS, but only a few of those
can be classed as works of art"
Henry K. BuSh-Brown, famous
Washington sculptor and art
critic, of 1760 Euclid st. N. W.,
viewed the statute before Mr.. Mort
inner knew of its existence and
he wrote the latter in part:
"It is a cir-perdu bronze cast
of the original HOudOn bust and
probably was cast in Paris, since
such castings have only been
made in this country in recent
years."
Mr.. Mortimer explained that
'cir-perdu" refers to a process of
wax-copper casting, which was
practiced in Paris at the time of
Houdon-about $50 years ago
but which only recently has been
attempted here.

Since the introduction by Sen

Washington'S municipal airport,
some Of the business mems as

pleted we are going to have a
really attractive landing field in

The pilots strike seems to
have reached an impasse, with
neither side holding any advan-

amicable and Just settlement of
the difficulties are soon made,
for the eyes of the entire air

more adverse publicity, 1t may
give the whole industry a need
less setback.

Bronze Statue Believed
ORIGINAL Houdon

Fc- years and years a bronze
statue of washington has graced
the parlor of the simple home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Burrows, at
1899 Van Ness st. N. w.
1t was considered just an ordin-
ary image and no one hazarded
a guess as to its worth. Then, due
to the extensive publicity given
the George Washington Bicenten-
nial, Mr.. and Mrs. Burrows dis
covered that it was a rare like
ness of the Father of His Country.
Now, one authority has ex-
pressed an opinion that it is all
original Houdon, which if authen-
ticated means that it is a valuable
work of art.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burrows believe
that it is, and, taking no chances
that it will be stolen. have placed
it in a safety deposit box, pend
ing proof.

Of 1920 Twenty-ninth st. N. W.,

Cipsy Dance Provides
 Novel Entertainment

The Gipsy dance given Sat urday evening in Pioneer Hall by the Friendship Cub was one of the most picturesque and interesting entertainments ever held in the Hyder district and attracted a large gathering from both sides of the bound ary line.
 With a large majority of those attending clad in the tradition gipsy manner, the gathering presented a decidedly quaint and colorful aspect and many unique gipsy characters were presented. MT. Louis Legge was easily the most appropri- ately costumed gentleman and was awarded the gentlemen's best costume prize, while Miss Helen Hall, clad in an excellent replica of a Romany costume, received the ladies'prize. The prize winners were selected by a vote of the assemblage.
 The gipsy supper, both in character of food and manner of serving, was a most interest ing feature of the entertain ment. The dining room was decorated with boughs and greenry to suggest a forest en- campment, while the gipsy stew" a most delectable and savory concoction, was served from large cauldron hung ov- CT a most realistically simulat- ed campfire, the diners being seated on the floor around it.
 Those in charge of the pro- gram are justly entitled to praise for a most ingenious and diverting entertainment.

Thousands Seek Placer
 Gold In Northwest

Literally thousands of men and many women, finding themselves unemployed in the large cities, are engaging in prospecting for placer gold as a means of gaining a liveli- hood, according to the Outside newspapers. Approximately 5000 persons have registered in free mining classes estab- lished by the University of Washington in Seattle and Ia coma and thousands more have received information by mail from various schools in the northwest, as we'll as from the United States bureau of mines.
 One Seattle journal reports that hundreds of prospectors, many of them mere amateurs, are making their way finan- cially and some of them are said to be making as high as $4 and $5 a day working the streams flowing down both slopes of the Cascade Mount aims.
 As an evidence of the great increase in prospecting it is pointed out that more gold To- cations have been discovered in the Pacific northwest states and British Columbia this year than in all preceding years.
