as he left, there bust forth great connection
at the jails. Then uprose shouts of rejoicing,
clank of chains released, the opening of great
iron doors. Then a procession came heavy

business rivals, critics and haters of King Carol,
surging out of prison, where Carol had thrown
them in his anger Hardly had those doors swung

King and Lupescu Just yesterday, while Carol
ruled, they had ruled too, squeezing the country
of its wealth to swell their private fortunes.
But now rebellion was bowling across the land
And German troops were goose-stepping. Blood
was spilling. Thrice tortured Rumania was torn
again with revolution because of the sins of its
rulers.
So all of us in Europe who had watched that
whirligig in Rumania shook our heads with solemn
conviction. Those riots and shootngs and muir
ders-they had been preparing for years. At last
deservedly, the ruling class had swept themselves
from power. But the misery they had visited upon
a fertile pleasant land seemed undeserved.
Was this the end, Europe asked then. Was this
the end of those flamboyant intrigues which had
kept the world shocked and astounded for several
decades? For me-when l heard, all this had
special significance. 1t brought back the memory

him as an officer in the Virginia mi

of volunteers under him at the Battle

came President, he was constantly
importuned to sit for his portrait.
Some of these requests he denied,
but he could not refuse his old
friend, when in 1795 Charles Wilson
Peale asked him to pose for his tai
ented young son, Rembrandt. In
fact, he granted the boy three sit

delphia and the portrait reproduced
below was the result.
This portrait of Washington was
the only one which Rembrandt Peale
made from life, but another of his

drawn from life, is even more IA

Portrait of Washington, made by
Rembrandt Peale when he was only
IL years old.
Rembrandt, to the public as his sue
cessor. But the son was not imme-
diately successful and went to
Charleston, S. c., where he had his
studio for several years. In 1901
he went to England to continue his
studies under his fathers instruc-
tor, the famous Benjamin West, but
after short time there his health
failed and he returned to his home
in Philadelphia. He intended to
abandon art for agriculture but,
after painting a few portraits, he
was surprised to find himself hailed
as a worthy successor to his famous
father.
In 1904 he advertised himself as
Rembrandt, portrait painter in
large and small, head Of Mulberry
court, leading from Sixth, three
doors above Market street" and ex-
planned that he desired to be known
by his first name alone, 1.-The ad-
junct Peale serving only to show of
whom descended" Three years later
he visited Paris to paint the most
distinguished men OF the day and
was successful in this enterprise.
After a second trip to Paris in 1909,
he came back to America the follow
ing year and from that time, until
his death in 1860, his fame as a por-
traitist, q painter Of historic scenes
and photographer Zone Of the first
to practice the art in America) was
undiminished.
Although Washington sat for his
portrait by the 17-year-old Rem
brandt Peale in 1905, il was not I'M
til 1923 that the artist finally finished
it. He spent those % years in work
ing on it TO make 1t suit his ideal of
a true likeness of the great man. He
took it with him when he went
abroad and exhibited IL in Italy and
England where il attracted a great
deal Of attention. After his return 70
America, the portrait was bought by
the United States senate and it now
hangs in the vice presidents room
in the senate wing Of the Capitol.

Let us consider the case.

/ have also heard II said that
one of the reasons he has TO
study a putt so long is that the
grass grows and changes in
length between the time he ad-
dresses the ball and finally taps
II toward the hole.
But don't let ms overlook this

Bullas name is not on that

would adopt more leisurely
pace around the course IL he
knew elaboration on every shot
would write II on the big silver
mug.
But a Judge must study both
sides OF the argument, and Bulla
has one. whether he has won
national open or not. Guldahl-
and I am sure he does not do il
with malice aforethought-is un-
fair to many of his fellow pro-
