It was the New York World which
began an active campaign in behalf
of the fund, through which the larger
portion of the necessary sum was
raised.
Very early the sculptor Bartholdi
suggested tiny Bedloe Island in New
York harbor as the ideal site for the
statue. His suggestion was acted upon
By Congress In 1877 when the island,

anniversary.

TINE most famous lady in all the
world is celebrating her golden
anniversary.
Fifty years ago Miss Liberty
more formally known as the Statue
of Liberty-took her stand on Bedloe
Island in New York harbor.
Ever since Miss Liberty has held
high her torch. To untold millions
that statue has provided the thrill Of
thrills. The embodiment of the dem
ocratic ideal, the symbol Of q land Of
opportunity free from oppression, the
sight of Miss Liberty and her firmly
upheld torch has strengthened the
native in his AmericaniSm and has
given hope and inspiration to the i'm
migrant.
That Miss Liberty is the best-known
statue in the world cannot be ques.
toned. In every corner of every con-
tinent it Is recognized instantly. Miss
Liberty speaks q universal language.
Throughout the present year cele.
brations Of local, national and inter.
national scope are to be held to mark
the flftieth anniversary of this statue,
which was presented to the United
States by the people of its sister re.
public, France. These celebrations will
culminate October 20 when q cere.
mony will be held duplicating the
original dedicatory exercises on that
same day Of the month In 1885.
Among the leading figures expected
to participate in that ceremony are
President Franklin D. Roosevelt and
the Ambassador of France, M. Andre
de Laboulaye. The latter's participa-
ton will be doubly significant in view
of the fact that the Ambassadors
grandfather. Edward de LAboulaye,
made the original suggestion for the
presentation of such q statue to the
American people by the people Of
France.
IT WAS In 1872 that a group of men
in France began actively to work
on the plan. Among these was Fred
eric Auguste Bartholdi, noted sculp-
tor. who ultimately was given the COM
mission. More than 100000 was
raised In France by scores Of cities,
general councils, societies and individ-
uals, to have the statue sculptured and
placed On the pedestal.

apart for this purpose.
By 1873, work had progressed to
the point where it was possible to
exhibit the head Of the statue at the
Paris Exhibition. A forearm pre-
viously had been shown at the Gen.
tennial Exposition at Philadelphia
In 1875.
Work was completed in 1888. and
on July 4. 1884, the statue was pre-

TEXAS RESERVES
 AREA FOR PINES
Federal Government to Re. vert Country Into
 Stately Trees

Jasper, Tex. tuD.--The federal government plans to revert this sandy, rollong coutnry to the growth of stately pines.
 Within little more than q quar. ter of century, lumbermen sprawled their logging lines through the pine wools in this section and denuded 1t of virgin forests.
 Rolling hills that once bore l00- foot pines now are bald, sandy hummocks, dotted with occasional scraggy saplings. Foresters call them part of "Dixies No-Man's- Land"
 To Fence 5000 Acres
 Lorenzo Jared, ranger for the U. s. Forestry Service, announced that the government has ordered the fencing of 5000 acres in the An- gelina national forest for protec- ton of seedlings.
 Jared said 16,000,000 pines will be planted in the Angelina and Sabine National forests next fall, 5000 000 of which will be placed in the lat- ter.
 The Angelina fence will prevent animals from uprooting young trees and seedlings, Jared said. Fencing already has been completed on @ i0,000-acre tract in the forest.
 Enclosed areas in the national for- ests will be used as preserves for wild life, as Q part of c South wide program, according to Joseph 0. Kircher, Atlanta, Ca, Southern regional forester.
 Kircher said 3.860,000 young trees have been planted in the Angelina and Sabine units and in the Sam Houston and David Crockett nations al forests of Texas. The work was done by eco enrollees.

 Does this mean that Emile is more inclined to music? don't know, and 1t would be premature to guess.
 Annette has Q little trick that has proved vastly amusing to the nurses ct meal times. We insist that the girls eat some of their vegetables before they get any soup, and then in turn that they must have eaten 0 respectable amount of soup be- fore they may have any dessert.
 Several times the nurses have caught Annette slyly pouring out some of her soup ii1 the hope that she would be found ready for des- sert that much earlier. Annette huns tunes very nicely, too, which l am told is some evidence of fl1u. sical ability.
 All the girls are quite strong, and climb the Swedish bars or gym" which we have in the play yerd with ease and no apparent fear whatever.

 Before making any comments ct all about the individual character istics of the quintuplets, I must say one thing clearly:
 It is too early to make any rea- sonable predictions about the char acteristics and abilities, or even the temperaments, that these little girls will have when they grow up. A lot of the stuff written on this subject simply doesn't mean any thing.
 Someone sees one of the girls ex- ercising on our "gym" bars and irn- mediately says, "Ah, she's going to be an athletel" Another sees one sitting quietly and meditatively and says, "Ahl She's spirituall She will be 6 religious, or 6 scholar"
 All this is unscientific and means nothing from the practical point of view. For if those observers could watch the little girls day fin and day out, they would sec that the one who is athletic one day may be quiet

IBIRTHS, DEATHS
 WEDDINGS DROP
First Half of l036 Totals Are Below Those
 of I935

Births, deaths and marriages ell show Q decrease in Connecticut for the first six months of lo36 as com- pared with the corresponding months of 1895, according to the half year tabulation of vital statis- tics contained in the monthly bul- letin of the state department Of health.
 The number of births for the first six months of the year was 10,772 as against ll,28l in the first half of 1885. This was Q decline in the birth rate from l3.I per 1000 popu- lation in i935 to l2.5 (six months only). The January-June birth rate in 1894 was I2.S per 1000 peo- pie, with l0.9s7 births recorded.
 Marriages, in the first six months showed Q very material decrease from 5,37l in 1885 to 3,256 this year, the marriage rate dropping from 6.2 to 38 per 1000 popula- ton. It is possible, the bulletin said, that unfamiliarity with the marriage law which became effec- tive January 1, 1886, may account for the decrease. With more com plete understanding about the merits of the law on the part of the general public, however, 1t is to be confidently expected that the number of marriages will increase to the normal level.
 There was an improvement in the number of deaths and in the death rate for the early part of l936. Total deaths dropped from 9,4s9 in 1885 to $40 in 1886, and the rate declined from ll.0 to 100 per 1000 population. This mortality experience is very good, the bulletin stated, As both 1895 and 1884 were years in which the final oeath rate was l0.l per population, and as l936 Is recording Q rate about equal to 1885 and 1884, in all likelihood the final rate for 1886 will be at least the same or even better than l0l, The death toll in the summer months is less than at other seasons, so that the final six months each year normally show an improve ment over the first half year.

 The children are rapidly learning their daily devotions of kneeling before the holy picture over the nursery door, making the sign Of the cross, and Fliurmuring their lite tic prayers.
 Such physical differences as ex- lsted earlier among the little girls are rapidly disappearing. At the beginning of August there was c difference of only about three pounds, between the weight of Ma- rie, still the littiest, at 22 pounds, and Cecile, the heaviest, ct 26.0 pounds. Emile weighed 24, Yvon1e and Annette 26.i2 each.

she sees the little dresses laid in c row.
 The annual dexterity of the chil- dFen Is increasing amazingly, and their cleverness in devising afiluse- ments with their little wagons in the play yard is amazing at times. For instance, the other day this happened.
 The little wagons won't hold more than two quinS apiece, no matter how they pile in. But sornes times they oil like to ride together.
 Cecile, ct the rear of the first wagon, reached out over the tail- board and got c firm grip on the front of the second wagon, into which Annette and Emile then piled.

 So when I set down here some of the little individual quirks and stunts of tho girls you must rernem- Der that they are by no means to be taken as indicating permanent characteristics. It is too early for that as yet.
 Marie Blossoms Out
 One of the most interesting de- velopments of the summer is the einergence of Marie from the posi- ton of being the "little one," or the quiet one, constantly pushed into the background.
 Marie has been constantly closing the physical gap between herself and the others, and has often shown signs of being Q "littie ter- TOT" behind on angelic appearance.
 She has been 6 leader in 6 new and somewhat rowdy game" that has been popular during the sufn- mer. Creeping lip behind another unsuspecting quin, the player takes her light aluminium drinking cup and brings 1t down on the head of the victim with . resounding bop.
 Needless to say, we don't er1cour- age any such game" and the nurses call quick halt as soon as 1t begins, though of course there has been no harm done. The cups are light and it's all in good fun anyway. ,.4.l
 But the odd part is that Marie, who was given credit early for be- ing 50 dernure and spiritual, is about the most enthusiastic player and has more than evened any scores that may have accrued from her shy past.

NEW YORK, March 7.-Striking
skyscraper employees won ground
steadily in their fight for higher
wages and a 48hour week today, but
threatened to extend their walkout
across state lines to clinch victory.
New York union leaders ordered
10000 members to strike in Brook
Ign and Queen boroughs Monday
unless building owners surrender.
A threat to add the cloud-sweep-
ing towers of the Grand Central
Terminal district to the areas OF
New York, where millions of persons
have been forced for a week to
walk up and down stairs and shiver
in cold apartments and offices
brought quick capitulation from the
50-story Chanin Building. It
agreed to So weekly wage increase
for all its employees and to nego-
tiate other demands.
The $150,O00O00 Prudence Co.,
controlling 145 buildings, signed
union contracts yesterday 1t Gid
not grant a closed shop, but did con-
tract to maintain a preferential
shop, meaning that union members
will be given preference when new
employees are hired. Approximately
$500 workers were affected.
James j. Bambrick, local union
head, said $50 smaller buildings de-
serted the Realty Advisory Board
and signed contracts.

Group to Demand Public
Hearing on Bill for
Repeal of Tax.

The increase of opposition to the
gross income tax law became more
obvious today through the repeal
demand of the Associated Retailers

Members of the Is retail organiza-
tons of the Associated Retailers will
demand public hearing in the Sen
ate on the bill introduced by SEN
ator Ralph Jernegan (R., Misha-
waka) yesterday for repeal of the

Senator Jernegan's bill is the
same as that he introduced in the
1885 regular session and which died
in committee. The retailers at that
time did not take the aggressive at
titude they now are displaying.
