HENRY M'MlLLAN
EXHIBIT TO CLOSE
Sunday Will Be Last Day Ut
Exhibition Of Paintings
At Art Museum

Sunday will be last day OF the
exhibition of the paintings by Hen
ry Jay Macmillan at the Whining
ton Museum of Art. The galleries
will be open from 3 until 5 o'clock
that afternoon.
This has been one of the most
nopular exhibitions at the Museum
this year, not only due to the 1ac'
that Mr.. Macmillan is a Winning
tonian, but also due to the excel
lence of the work shown. Nearly
1900 people have viewed the ex-
|hibit. Groups from several OF the
county schools have come to see
the pictures and to hear talks
about them. People from other
parts of the state have also been
in and several pictures have been
sold, museum officials said.
The water colors on the first
floor depict scenes of the tide wa
ter country with a freshness and
charm of which we should all be
proud. An artist can paint scenes
with which he is familiar with
more truth and beauty tn a n
strange places, and we are for
tunate in having an artist with SO
much ability in u own communl-
ty to show our countryside to the
world, it was stated.
MacMillan's oil paintings have
depth and richness of color, especl-
ally his figure paintings. The 'Por-
trait of Lula" an old colored wom-
an, has been very much admired
by the many visitors to the exhi,
bition.

American Officials Deny
Warboats Have Interferred
With Shipping Off Mexico

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2O.-R-
Denials by officials of the state
and navy departments today thai
United States ~destroyers had in
terfered with shipping off the Mex
lean coast deepened the mystery
over the reported hating and
search of two ships outside Tam
pico on Monday.
Crews of the Mexican tanker
Cerro-Azul and the Honduran
freighter Ceiba were quoted in re-
ports from Mexico city as saying
that three American ~destroyers
had stopped them and examined
their papers and cargo. They were
said to have identified the Destroy
ers as the Broome, Glider and
Plunkett.
The incident was reported to
have occurred in the vicinity
where one German ship was scut'
tied last week. Three other Ger
man vessels returned to Tampico
after sighting what their crews
said were Warships. :

ly extinguished. Now there came
the flashing of electric torches,
and vague figures showed up in
simultaneously, and vanished again.
1t was impossible to recognize any,
one. But, by following some of the
flashes, Gun could e that a small
of people-four so far as he
could make out-were moving to-
ward the living quarters. Presently
they disappeared through the
small gate.
But before that happened Gun
got something of a shock, for sud-
denly a voice said, extremely loud
ly, so that even at that distance
the words came quite clearly to
him:
well, thank goodness we're
here at last"
Gun gave a sharp exclamation.
whats the matter?" asked
Tommy.
Didn't you hear that voice."
Gun asked. There's a woman in

you know"

ness for d woman to be mixed
up in"
"Women are employed in all
sorts of queer things, in these
days, even stockbroking.'
Eyes. I suppose they dol"
But, privately, Gun was thinking
that it must be indeed a strange
woman who was engaged in a plot
for the wholesale murder of hun
dreds of innocent citizens.

has been employed as a carpenter, to
start work Nov. IS, 1910. Assigned
to section g."
Then Bruskin said he joined an
other line of men leading up to a
shack where three collar and neck
tie" officials of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America (AFL) were signing up
new union members, at an initiation
fee Of $3.50.
"The man who signed me up"
Bruskin wrote, complained that he
hadn't had "a breath of fresh air
for a week because Of the number
of men joining the union. He guessed
maybe a thousand or two thousand
men had signed up and agreed to
pay the initiation fee. There was no
chance of working without joining,
1 was told.
II said I had no money. Ut was
the day before pay day.. But he
smiled.
""That's all right, buddy. You
don't have to pay now, but come in
Friday and pay up $3.50 and pay
the rest of the $3.50 in the next
two weeks
Il asked about dues. He seemed
somewhat surprised, and a couple of
other applicants waiting their turn
snickered.
"Do you think you'll be working
more than a month here?' he re-
piled"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Up
Robert Bruskin, Washington Star
reporter who never did a lick of car
pentering, told today how he got a
carpenters job at Fort Meade, Nd,
where, he said, the pay is SIS a week
or more Counting over-time).
At Fort Meade a construction CON-.
pany is doing a great deal Of build
and draftees. There has been a
heavy demand for carpenters. AS a
foreman explained to Bruskin, "all
the good carpenters got hired a
couple of weeks ago, but we can use
anybody who even looks like a car
penter and can drive a nail"
Bruskin, in a story in the Star,
said he waited in line for hours in a
chilly wind, along with cab-drivers,
clerks, laborers, farmers, miners and
others eager to become carpenters.
Finally, he reached the window of
the employment office. Having pre-.
viously been given to understand
that the employment manager would
want to see his social security card,
che reporter tossed it into the win,
dow.
The manager pulled out a small
printed form.
"Your name?" he asked. "Youl
