and knowing what to leave unsaid.

ton Of the Arizona desert. And lastly
there are = few drypoint heads done
with Mr.. Washburn's exceptional SYM
pathy and cunning-heads which in
an utterly diverse medium take one
back to his paintings Of old men in
the adjacent gallery. We talk much
these days about freedom from con-
vention and self-expression Mr..
Washburn seems to have found both
and with complete naturalness.
Malcolm Salaman, the well-known
British critic, has said of him: &C.
W.'s is a remarkable personality, COM
pact Of natural independence. def
: mite sincerity, tenacity of ideals and
sort of cosmic curiosity; and his
| eagerness for adventure in strange
places and for testing new and un-
familiar experiences has been amply
| fulfilled" This referred to Mr. Wash
burns etchings, but it is equally ap-
| plicable to his work in other media
1t has also been truly said that he
has been a prodigious worker and an
indefatigable traveller. In the Russo
japanese War and the Madero insur-
| pection in Mexico he served as dis
patch carrier and correspondent. He
| has travelled much in the Orient and
conducted scientific expedition to
the Marquesas Islands. Exhibitions
of his etcf1ings have been held in Lon
don, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam and
Brussels, which have brought him high
honors. In recognition of his work
| in science and in art his alma mater,
Gallaudet College, has conferred upon
him the degree of doctor of science.
Few have had a more interesting,
! varied life, or have achieved greater
success in a chosen profession.

abundantly in the story of the explo-
sion of gasoline vapor which took
place in one of the altitude chambers
claiming the lives of four men and
resulting in the injury OF six others
The heavy doors of the chamber
were blown of and nearly all the win

lost their lives furthering the cause
of science. C. M. Smith, man OF
about so years, was blown out of the

scrap lumber. Although suffering ter
rible injuries, he crawled back into the
building, which now was an inferno
of flames, and turned of the ammonia
from the wrecked altitude chamber.
Then he went down into the basement
Of the building and pumped the am

then, did he go to the, hospital for

revealed deed of greater heroisn!
AT FIRST glance one would not
consider the Forest Service likely
to contribute many names to this roll
of honor. But 1t does, providing so
many that only a few instances can
be cited.
There was Nelson F. MacDuff, for
est supervisor of the Cascade National
Forest, who was shot and killed from
ambush by disgruntled settler. And
no photographer Of so-called wild
animal" films was present when Junior
Forester John A. Thayer Of the Ton
gass National Forest, In Alaska, was
killed in = fierce encounter with q
brown bear. The bear attacked
Thayer, whose shot failed to stop the
infuriated beast. In the uneven bat-
tie which ensued when the forester's S
weapon failed him, Thayer was
crushed to death.

I T Is a long but little known roster
Of martyr heroes that Is to be
found for the digging in the rec
a ords of Uncle Sam in the District.
Worthy Of taking their place beside
those who have laid down their lives
for their country in war are the lesser
known many who, in time Of peace,
have made the supreme sacrifice in
the performance of their duties.
Behind routine ofiicial reports are
to be found dramatic stories of their
heroic courage, Of death or injury
met in the fulnllment of everyday
duties in wide variety of Federal
posts.
In the most unexpected places one
comes upon these tales. More likely
it is hint of the real story that one
finds first, for. while the Government
has its press agents, they write Of men
in the mass rather than of the in
dividual who gives his life that the
lot Of the masses may be made easier.
But it is an always vivid, often
poignant story that awaits the eyes
Of the outsider who seeks the human
story behind the drab departmental
reports.
ONE scarcely would look for fatal
danger in the differentiation
work Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture, and yet 1t exists-and
not from tick bites. Max Lochridge
took his place on the roll Of Uncle
Sans peace-time martyrs when he
was shot to death while engaged in
differentiation campaign in Echols
County, Ga. The killing of Lochridge,
and the serious wounding at the same
time OF another Federal employe, Roy
s. Ritchie. were the elimination Of q
series Of difficulties In that region.

render further invaluable public
service.

smoke, but he recovered suhiciently to
render further invaluable public
service.
An OBVIOUSLY hazardous branch
of the service is the Predatory
Animal Division of the United States
Biological Survey. Encounters with
wild cats, wolves and other fighting
beasts are almost daily occurrences,
and sometimes the denizens Of plains
or mountains win, inflicting serious or
mortal wounds.
Not 80 obviously dangerous Is the
work OF employees in the field force Of
the Bureau of Fisheries. Yet occa-
sionally even here one finds q man
who has given his life in the per-
formancc Of his duties. Such q one
was Paul Stansfield, who disappeared
while watching . fish trap in Pyramid
Lake, New. He lost his footing and,
being dressed in the heavy waders
necessitated by his occupation, was
unable to save himself from the en-
gulfing waters of the lake.
IN THE oftentimes perilous triangula-
ton work Of the United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey numerous in
juries and some deaths have occurred
in dangerous fastnesses, and the
same holds true in the Lighthouse
Service, personnel Of which Is located
ut isolated stations on land and sea.
Both Of these services, among the
Oldest branches Of the Federal Gov
eminent, Gan provide enough mate
rial for several volumes of tales Of
heroic daring.

CONTRACT DATED.
 AFTER TILT HERE.
Melvin to Present PhOto- static Copy to League
 President
tBY JOHN A. CLUNEYD

Backing up the opinion of many who thought he would not be care- less enough to sign Q professional baseball player to pitch for the North End Thomas Club against the Sacred Hearts on Thursday, June a, last, Manager Harry Mel- win has agreed to come forward with official documentary evidence which will allow President Edward Fitz- patrick to clear up the situation immediately
 Because of the fact that the agreement or contract that Jarlett signed under date of June 26, 1887, two days after he pitched for tho Tommies ct Hamilton Park, contains his salary figures, which he did not want known to everybody in North America, the document was not produced to date, though Manager Melvin did state ct league meet- Ing that he had such evidence, but, as the burden of proof as to Jar- let's eligibility was upon Manager Ray Fram of the Sacred Hearts, he did not feel obligated to show the contract or agreement, the original of which is in his possession, but will be returned to Jarlett as soon as Q photo-static copy can be made.
 It Is believed that Manager Mel. yin, President Fitzpatrick and Manager Fran will get together some time today or tomorrow, after which President Fitzpatrick B ex. pected to announce the denial of the Hearts protest clearing up the league standing which now shows the Thomas Club two games in front and with 6 chance to clinch the pennant next Sunday when they play the Washington Hills ct Hamils ton Park.
 Incidentally, there is another pros test rumor going about and concerii- ing the Brooklyn A. 0. said to DO considering tho protest of the use by the Thomas Club of Patrick Quilter in last Sundays game. How. ever, 1t is believed that the Brook. lyn A. o. officials, or Manager Rudy Bercier, will not go through with such c move ct this time as 1t Is the clubs policy to win games on the diamond.
 In the meantime Manager Ray Tram has been unable to get any official word from the Boston Red Box club relative to the Jarlett contract, despite the fact that no has contacted no less than three officials of that organization.

 Fourteen new members were ad- mitted to the association last night and plans for an outing and sheep- bake, probably at the Recreation Rod and Gun clubs grounds, were made tentatively for August 8.

Exercise, fun, and preparedness for danger that may Turk in the future can be combined while play ing at the beach.
 For instance, it is loads of fun to don old clothes over your bath ing suit, leap into the waves, and sec who can diroble and get back to shore first. But it is more than fun
 it is also good preparation for the day when your boat may upset and you are forced to swim for your life.
 Tn all your games, however, guard against remaining under water too long. Such practice is of no value to your well-being and may prove harmful.
