Excavation Under
Way in Capital
For Art Gallery
Late Andrew Mellow Con.
sidered Gift as Nucleus
for Collection

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. (UP).
The late Andrew w. Melons last
great undertaking was the estab-
lsihment of national art gallery
in Washington to which he con-
tributed his own private collec-
ton, one of the finest Of it's kind
in the world, as a nucleus"
In addition to this nucleus"
estimated by art experts to be
worth more htan $50,000,000,
Mellon supplied the money for a
building to house the gallery and
provided a $5,OOO,O0O endowment
for expenses of administration
and the purchase of art objects
in the future.
The building, whose site on the
mall he personally selected. will
cost upwards of $l5,000,000 when
it is completed and equipped.
The collecting of great paint
ings was Melons hobby and chief
diversion. Although one of the
wealthiest men in the world he
never owned a yacht, a private
car or a country place.
In his letter to President Roose-
welt, offering his paintings and
sculptures to the nation, he said
his intention was that ultimately
they would become the property
of the people of the United States
and be made available to them in
a national gallery to be maintain
ed in the City of Washington for
the purpose of encouraging and
developing a study of the fine
arts"
He stipulated that the gallery
should not bear his name and that
it should belong to all the people.
He expressed the hope that other
American collectors would add to
the collection and that in time
Washington would rank with Lon
don, Paris, Berlin, Rome and
Florence as one of the worlds
great art centers.
The Mellon collection contains
only fine examples of the great
est masters. II includes three
Raphaels, three VermeerS, eight
RembrandtS, four Botticellis, two
Masaccios. Cimabue, a Fra An
gelico, a Perugino and three Ii
tians, as well as paintings by
Giovanni Bellini, Antonella Dc
Messina, Velasquez, Goya, FL
Greco, Jan Van Eyck, Petrus
Christus, Memling, Rogier Van
Der Weyden, Rubens, Van Dyke,
Durer, Holbein. Lancret, Gains
borough, Reynolds, Romney. Rae
burn, Turner, Constable, Gilbert
Stuart and others.
Sculptors represented in the
collection include WDonatello,
Verrocchio, Desiderio da Settig-
nano, Luca Della Robbia, Mino
Da Feisole, Sansovino, Giovanni
Da Bologna.
During 1886 and 1887 he pur-
chased the famous Dreyfuss col
lection of Renaissance sculpture
and many first rank paintings. In
May, 1887. just before he elft

Excavation for the gallery
building is now under way. The
structure will be completed by
the A. w. Mellon educational and
charitable trust, to which he gave
ample securities to carry out his
nlanS.

Hundreds Daily
Ask Census Unit
For Their Ages
And Information Is Pro-
vided at Capital by Har-
raised Clerks

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. (UP).
From 200 to 600 Americans ask
the census bureau each day to
tell them how old they are.
This amazing statistic was un-
covered yesterday when a Uni
ted Press reporter in search OF
other information stepped into an
office where two harrassed
women clerks were hard at work
Before he could open his mouth
one of the msaid:
"Do you want to find out your
age?" ,o,,or
Our abashcd reporter, never
very good at comebacks, was sui
irving to figure that one out
when the clerk thrust a formid-
able looking application blank IN
to his hands and ordered:
"Here, fill this out
Well. the reporter--a plodding
fellow, even if he isn't bright
finally regained his voice and
asked some questions. 1t seems
the clear mistook him for one of
the hundreds who enter the office
daily to learn how old they are.
Why should anyone want to
know his age? The answer is. lots
of people actually don't know.
And lots more know but can't
prove it. Both groups want to be
able to prove it so they can get
passports, buy insurance, estab-
iish their right to an inheritance
or-and this reason brings in the
most people-to qualify for social
security or railroad pensions.
And how can the census bureau
tell your age if you don't know it
yourself? That's simple. Ever
since 1890 the census bureau has
been counting the inhabitants Of
this great republic every 10 years.
In at least one Of those census
years-if you're now more than z
years old-they put down a rec
ord of your age, your birthday,
and where you were living at the
time.
! Now suppose you don't remem-
Der your age but you do remem.
Der that in 1920 you were a lad
spending the summer helping
Uncle Snozzy on his farm just
| outside Bucyrus, Ohio. The cen
sus bureau gets down a bulky
volume containing the 1920 Gen.
sus records for Crawford county,
Ohio, and, sure enough, on RID.
No. /, is the name of Hiram
Snodgrass, Aunt Matilda, Cousin
Ralph, Cousin Beatrice and your
own name with your age, Ia
years. It's been II years since
1920. so the census bureau in
forms you that you are 81.
You can take that information
to the state department for a
passport, to an insurance com
pany, to a court, or to pension
authorities and it will be &C.
copied.
If you are older than 81 the
bureau can get the information
more quickly because the census
of 1900 has been card indexed'
Instead of going county by coun;
ty through bulky, dust-covered
volumes, the bureau goes to its
card index - the biggest in the
! world, with 100000 names
| for the information. :.
This government service is Oh.
rected by DR.. T. F. Murphy, and
it's record for success in getting
the data on your age is practical
| ly 100 per cent, even where your
own information is most scanty'
1t has traced data on 10000 in
dividuals for the railroad retire
ment board alone, and at this mo-
| ment has $4,000 applications on
file for age information which
are being answered as rapidly as
possible.

again. But with boat you can
look forward to the good time
you're going to have aboard"
WELL" laughed Melita, recall
ing the interior of Jim'S house
boat I'd say he believes what he
says about spring housekeeping.
But isn't he a grand person? He's
as excited about this trip as we
arc"
There came at last the glorious
day when Jim Pike stood with
legs apart and surveyed the Chi
nook" to say, "She'S ready, all
right. Now let's take little trial
spin. what do you say"
They could have cheercd. As
hastily as their stiffened joints
would permit the trio clambered
aboard and ranged around jim at
the wheel.
He grinned at them. "Now look
here. We're tied to the wharf. If
one of you will go forward and
one aft to see to the moorin' lines
and the other fend us off lit
tie on the starboard side till we
get out of the basin-then I'll
start the motor and do the pilot
ing"
Not without some confusion,
Kay. Melita and Priscilla rusned
to obey orders. Soon the little
boat was riding nicely along the
bay. "She's doin' about eleven or
twelve knots" he said with salts
faction. For cruising speed I'd
whip her up some more. This mo-
tor will work best that way"
Patiently and subtly he dropped
information to the interested
girls. He let each one in turn get
the feel of the wheel, showed
them how to line up the bow with
leading landmark. explained the
working of the compass. When
he warped the little boat into the
moorage again he had them watch
closely at the controls.
"Why, it's easy" exclaimed
Kay.
"Well now that | got you
into this" said Pike, IL want to
warn you it amt just as easy as
il looks. Another way a boat is
like a woman is that just about
the time you think you got her
figured out, she amt. Never pays
to be cocksure with a boat. Keep
your head on your shoulders all
the time"
Suitably Subdued, Kay and the
others listened and watched.
Now if you'll come over to my
place tonight after dinner I'll lay
out your cruise for you on the
charts. figure I'd betted do that
this time-but next summer you'll
have to do it yourself. Howsom-
ever, | want you to observe how

for you, one that Mr.. Crandall

So that evening found them
grouped around jim Pixies big
table, a glowing ships lamp over
head, watching him work with
pencil, dividers, and parallel rule,
talking happily all the while.

Not little baffled by all that
Jim Pike had tried to cram into
