OF the Forest Services heroes Is held
for one, however, who was not killed
at the scene of his most notable feat
of heroism.
His name was Edward c. Pulaski, q
descendant of Count Pulaski, that
fearless Polish patriot who placed his

The incident occurred during a Sc
ries Of severely devastating fires, some
of the worst in the history of the
country. Pulaski had a crew fighting
fires in the two big creeks on the St.
Joseph National Forest in Idaho.
Finally the situation became SO per-
ilous that Pulaski felt they could not
remain in safety where they were,
and started out toward Wallace with
about so men. Before they reached
their destination the smoke became
so dense that Pulaski could not de-
termine whether to 60 ahead. Leav-

forks Of West Placer Greek, he took

offered a possible place of safety.
Finding his hopes confirmed, he
sent messenger back to bring the
crew down, while he and the other
man threw out all of the material
stored in the tunnel, including hun
dreds of pounds Of powder. When the
crew reached the tunnel Pulaski and
his helper herded the men and two
horses inside, did everything he could
to quiet the men, and proceeded to
barricade the mouth Of the tunnel.
He ordered the men to lie down on
their faces while he stood at the mouth
of the tunnel holding back the panic
stricken crew at the point of q gun.
This was at about O'Clock in the

Washburn's Paintings Artistical-

IT is quite usual for a painter to
turn to etching, but distinctly the
contrary for one who has for years
given himself exclusively to etching
to take up painting. Yet this is what
Cadwallader Washburn has done
and done well, as his exhibition in
the Arts Club, which opened week
ago, fully testifies. Mr.. Washburn
studied painting under excellent mas
ters-MOWbray, Chase, Sorolla and
Besnard-none better; but in 1903
he laid aside the brush for the needle

to it as medium of expression.

An Archaeological Exhibition of
Great Artistic Interest.
THE Pan-American Union and the
United States National Museum
have co-operated in an exhibition of
archaeological exhibits of artistic in
terest, which opened, with a private
view, in the foyer Of the National Mu-
scum, Constitution avenue at Tenth
street, December 3 to continue to
January 80. This exhibition consists
OF Peruvian. Ecuadoran and Vene-
zuelan pre-Colombian art from the
collections of Dr. Rafael Reouena and
DR.. Ernesto Franco, and Is sponsored
by the Ambassadors of Peru and Ecua-
dor and the Minister of Venezuela
jointly with the Pan-American Union
and the United States National Mu-
scum. Included in the exhibition are
many objects Of undeniable artistic
merit. not few Of which bear a sur
prlslng resemblance to the work of
well-known living sculptors.
There are portrait jars from Chi
mote, Trujillo and other ruined cities
on the western slopes of the Peruvian
Andes: polychrome ware from Nazca
and textiles from Ancon, evidencinp a
feeling for composition, color and bal
ance which compare favorably with
archaeological treasures of the Old
World. Many of the sculptured heads
from Esmeraldas reflect diverse emo
tions; others accurately portray facial
variations from infancy to toothless
old age. Hats, clothing and objects of
personal adornment. such as earrings,
nose pins and necklaces are likewise
significant.
From the purely archaeological point
Of view Dr. Requena's Venezuela COL
lections are said to be Of greatest i'm
portance. The portion gathered from
the shores of Lake Maracaibo illus
trates sequence of cultural develop
ment not measurable by the calendar
but which is represented by S meters
of stratified rubbish heaps at old vii
lage sites" Included in this remark
able series are stone artifacts and
flgurines Of type never before ex-
hibited in Washington. Dr. Requena,
for many years a leading physician Of
Caracas, has made archaeology and
history his chief avocations; he Is
now actively interested in creating
among American students greater ap-
probation of the Venezuelan national
library and national museum as insti-
tutions for research.
The collection will be on view until
the 30th Of December.

A SPECIAL exhibition of sketches
