Yourselves 80.
BY Philip H. Love.

Charles Volkman is a 16-year-
Western High School cadet who
lives in the $500 block Of r street
NV. Among his neighbors Is a
man who, being a writer, is some
thing less than enthusiastic about
physical labor.
The man, to put 1t badly, dislikes
such chores as moving the lawn,
cutting the hedge and clearing the
sidewalk of snow and ice. He and
Charlie make a perfect team.
That's because Charlie is a Boy
Scout and Boy Scouts, as you know,
like to do good deeds. And MIR.
Jones, to give the man a name, isn't
the type to interfere with any one
who wants to do good in this bad
old world.
Il X
Mr.. Jones moved into the neigh
borhood about two years ago. The
first snow of the winter introduced
him to Charlie.
1t had stopped showing, but Mr..
Jones was in no hurry to clean the
walk. He wanted to finish reading
the evening papers, for one thing,
and he had bit of writing to do,
for another. Besides, If he put off
the job for while, the temperature
might rise enough to melt the snow,
or else rain might come and wash
it away. There was no sense In
being in too big hurry about such
things as shoveling snow.
Mr.. Jones had finished reading
"Buz Sawyer" and was about to
start Orphan Annie" when he
heard the clink-clank Of a shovel.
He listened. No question about it
the noise was directly in front of
his house. He snapped on the porch
light and peered out the window.
Sure enough, some one was clear
ing his walk.
When the job was done Mr.. Jones
opened the door and said: THAT
was nice of you, son. How much do
owe you?"
You don't owe me anything was
the answer. I'm Boy Scout"
X X
Since then Charlie has kept Mr..
Jones walk as free of snow and ice
as If it were his own. And in sum-
mer he has trimmed the hedge and
moved the lawn without being asked
to do so. He has even climbed up
on the roof of his neighbor's garage
and nailed down parts of the COW
erlng which had come loose and
were sticking up. And his response
to offers to pay him or to treat him
to movie always has been the
same.
"You don't owe me anything. I'm
a Boy Scout"
During the war, simply because
he thought it the patriotic thing to
do, Charlie corresponded with a
serviceman who was overseas. The
details are rather hazy because
Charlie just won't talk about his
good deeds" but he managed
somehow to do some little favors"
for his correspondents family
perhaps shoveling snow, moving
their lawn or cutting the hedge, I
don't know.
Anyway, this summer Charlie en-
ioyed week of bass fishing at Glen
Lyn, Va, as the guest of the serv-
.ceman and his family.

riding ana hunting IN the NILS OF
Ethiopia, which is much cooler
than Washington in summer.
Now, after spending her girlhood
in dozens of world capitals, Mrs.
Raine lives at 5439 Forty first street
NV, where her only pet is mon
grel named Jingles, which has nice
disposition but no family background
to speak of. Jingles is the playmate
of Mrs. Raine's 5-year-old daughter
Jacqueline, who has never seen a
crocodile.
Mrs. Raine can still remember the
tears that she and Jutta shed when
her father was called back to Ger
many and they had to say goodby
to their little menagerie. A friend
finally arranged for the beloved
jackals, hyenas, crocodiles and
horses to be taken to the Hanover
ZOO, where the girls could visit them
whenever they were in Germany.
ut was heartbreaking when we
went to see them" she recalls. "They
knew us and we could hardly tear
ourselves away. >. They've probably
long since been bombed out or eaten
up"
Mrs. Raine was born in Shanghai
and given the middle name of Lolo
because her mother and father were
proud Of being the first white peo-
pie to return alive from a visit to
Lololand, the wild region of China
where American airmen were
thought to be held captive. The

Ivan Mestrovic, Noted Yugoslav Sculptor,
To Visit Here for Showing of His Work
By Florence S. Berrymon

Ivan Mestrovic, one of the great
est living sculptors, will be in Wash
ington during the coming week, in
connection with the opening next
Saturday of his work at the Cor
coran Gallery of Art. Shows of sculp-
ture are infrequent, and the appear
ance of the work of sculptor of
such Importance Is a sensational be-
ginning for the new art season.
Mestrovic is Croat, who was
born in the Dalmatian highlands
1883) and became shepherd boy.
Intensely stirred by stories from the
Bible and Yugoslavian hero songs,
which dealt so largely with the
struggle between Christianity and
Mohammedanism, he drew his
earliest inspiration from these
sources. Religion continues to be
one Of his dominant themes
Mestrovic is no stranger to the
United States. In November, 1924,
the Brooklyn Museum, exhibited
more than 100 of his works In mar
Bile, bronze, plaster and wood, and
. group OF Autographs. Subse-
quently, there were smaller shows
In New York and elsewhere. He is
represented in some 20 permanent
collections in this country; and his
heroic-sized equestrian statues of
American Indians flank the espla-
made leading to the bridges on
Michigan boulevard, Chicago.
Last April the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art in New York held a
one-man exhibition Of Mestrovic's s
sculpture in its Morgan Wing-a
precedent-smashing honor from the
Met, which had not previously in
Its 76 years of existence featured a
living artist.
The Corcoran Gallery's impending
exhibition comprises many of the
works shown at the Metropolitan.
The five-an-a-half-ton marble "Pi-
eta" is not here, but bronze sketch
of 1t will give some idea. A review
of the specific works shown will be
given in these columns next Sunday.
The exhibition will remain through
October 26, and Washingtonians
who miss it will have much to regret.
