voted TO the unusual and scenic Spots
contained in Garrett County.
"Spelunking" is what the author of
several sociological books, Clay Perry,
calls this matter of exploring caves,
but too few Garrett CONTAINS have
heard the word OF know that hidden
in a grove of oaks on the Friend farm
at Sang Run is the entrance to one
of the few caves in the county.
Some know tor have known it
for on it's walls are names dating
back to the seventeen hundreds. G..
S. Hamill and j. G. Wilson were
there in 1925, and John T. Browning
was there in 1866. w. j. Bowman
spent time enough to carve his name
back in December %, 1851, and some
body else is reported to have left his
mark in the sixteen hundreds, but
the two names automatically hasn't
been confirmed.
The caves rightful and legal name
is the John Friend Saltpetre Cave"
as mentioned in Col. Francis Deakins
survey of military lots in 1887. John
Friend was the first settler in the
county, coming to Friendsville in
1765. The cave was well known at
that time, and even in Indian days
too, for the ingredient of saltpetre
mixed with sulphur and charcoal tc
form gunpowder was rather essential
to life on the frontier.
The cave itself is entirely a natural
formation, carved out of limestone by
a stream that still flows over its
floor. 1t is more than quarter of
mile long and in places about 25 feet
high with small stalacites forming
on the ceiling. A comparatively large
room occupies one part, not too dis
tant from a pool of water whose
source turns into waterfall during
rainy weather. The temperature is
continuously mild.
During the summer, large num-
Der of bats find daytime refuge in
the cave, and sleep peacefully
through the hours hanging upside
down. A recent search revealed, how
ever that none was present as yet.
The entrance is more or less a pit,
accessible by ladder or careful des-
cent down the face of rock. The main
passage bears abruptly left, but a
small room joins from the right. At
no more than 80 feet along the left

Cromwell Imparts
Use Your knowledge
to Retiring Seniors

Put your knowledge to work." DR..
R. Floyd Cromwell impaired to the
Oakland high school graduating class
last Thursday night at Mt Lake Park
auditorium.
DR.. Cromwell, educational and vo-
cational guidance director, state de-
partment of education, spoke of the
changing need of education and
stressed teaching practical subjects
and well as theory in the classroom.
His speech was entitled, "What Shall
We Teach?" enumerating courses
needed such as consumer education,
and marriage and family relations to
prepare students for a more efficient
future life.
Some four hundred people attended
the ceremonies and saw F. E. Rath-
bun, county superintendent, present
diplomas to the ninety-nine gradu-
ates. Several musical selections were
given: "The Battle Hymn of the Re-
public" a Fred Warning arrangement,
by the Glee club, and "The Hills of
Home" and Build Thee More Stately
Mansions" by William Lambert.
The speaker was introduced by w.
w. Dawson, president of the county
board of education.

weren't sure-they had been using
the names Of the merging streets
alternately.
But the scientific precision of the
new map subordinates it as an ar
tiStic object. when compared with
the fascinating maps Of former GEN.
turies, some of which were so in
accurate that one wonders how any
voyager travelled as far as a mile
without getting hopelessly lost
These delightful old maps sacrificed
truth to imagination to the extent
of inventing and naming innumer-
able towns and placing them at
strategic spots in unexplored terri
tory; to populating other regions
as well as the sea with grotesque
animals wilder than any ever seen
in a zoo: to setting sail on various
oceans. ships from several centuries;
to adding humanized winds with
puffed cheeks blowing gusts of air
and to completing the whole with
heraldic devices presided over by
figures from classic mythology and
richly coloring it. Many a home
has one or more such old maps as
decorations.
Of course, contemporary car
tographers, If given free hand, car
produce maps as decorative in every
respect as the old ones and, if lin.
hited to a small area, as accurate ir
details as the new map of Washing
ton. AS q matter of fact, Mr.. Riddi-
ford designed a superb pictorial mar
OF the coronation in England II
years ago. The British school Of
cartography dates back about fou,
centuries. Map printing in Italy
became an industry early In the
18th century. The charts from
Ptolemy's geography cd century
ADJ were printed at Vicenza in
1875. Dutch and Flemish, French
German and English schools OF
cartography began to flourish soon
afterWard.
A German photographer, Waldsee-
muller, put the name America" on
what is now Brazil, in honor of the
discoveries of Amerigo Vespucci
Less than a decade later he realized
his error and tried to shift the
honor to Columbus, in a new edi-
ton OF his map. But America
stuck.
The map Of Washington has
aroused more interest here, natural
ly, than any other the society has
gotten out in many years. But ac-
tually there are four or five map
supplements issued with the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine each
year. The artists never rest on their
laurels.

RANEhN BY F: Saxl and r.. Wittkow-

Many history minded people love
to start any subject with the dawn
OF civilization and come down to
the present In an epic sweep. For
them is this fascinating picture
book, which surveys the relation
between artists of Mediterranean
countries and those of Britain, from
the third millennium BIC. to the
18th century. Furthermore, it is
the first general history of British
art In more than a generation
during which opinions on 18th and
18th century art have been revised
1t is not book to be tucked in
ones pocket and read casually on
streetcars, but large volume Zap
proximately l2x18 inches) to be
enjoyed in an uninterrupted session
to oneself. It originated in a photo
graphic exhibition in 1941, assembled
by the Warburg Institute (Univer.
sity of London). Hundreds of half.
tone illustrations present pictoria,
comparisons between British art ir
many fields and the Mediterranean
art which inspired it, and demon.

eign clements underwent on theil

Art and Science of Maps

The pocket map of Washington,
covering not only the city proper but
also its suburbs, just issued as color
supplement to the National Geo.
graphic Magazine for September,
has received comment in the news
and editorial columns of The Star.
What was not mentioned, however,
is the artistry that goes into a map.
Six photographic artists are listed
in a small cartouche as creators of
the map; they were assisted by
others. The map was designed by
Charles E. Riddiford, veteran car
tographer of a quarter century's
service with the National Geographic
Society. Born in England, he was
trained at Bartholomew Of Lon
don, one of the oldest and largest
map-making organizations in the
world. Mr. Riddiford not only de-
signed the map, but also the type
used on it, all of which was hand
drawn and patented. James barley,
chief of the society's map division,
directed the production. Five spe-
cialists were engaged in compilation
and research work, and eight in the
drafting. Actual preparation of the
map took three months.
Not only is it admirably drawn, 1t
is also a marvel of accuracy, so ex-
plicit that it seems as though even
backward 6-year-old child ought
to be able to locate his own neigh
borhood without difficulty The
average traveller around the city will
doubtless find the map an invalu-
able companion, as will also a few

Corcoran Acquisitions

The Corcoran Gallery of Art has
q long-estabhshed policy of special
izing in American art. Consequently
1t Is not surprising that of more
than 80 acquisitions during the past
season, all but four are by Ameri-
can artists. Eight were purchases,
of which the most important is the
remarkable portrait Woman with
a Fan" by j. william Jennys (eacly
18th century, which has been hang
ing in gallery 81 for ten months.
She is living personality, with her
straight backed austerity, her in
domitable glance, her tight-lipped
srimness. The plain black and
brown background is exactly right
for her. Such feminine touches as
her lace-edged cap, gold beads and
earrings, and delicate painted fan
merely emphasize by contrast her
uncompromising toughness OF tenn
per.
An important bequest (of Wood
bury Blair is the double portrait
of John Hancock and his wife,
Dorothy Quincy Hancock, painted
by Edward Savage. This nearly life
size portrait is not yet on exhibit
ton, as the gallery staff wishes to
complete its study and research be-
fore presenting it to the public. 1t
is undoubtedly work Of more than
ordinary distinction, as 1t portrays
two famous people in American
history, painted by an artist OF the
Revolutionary and early Repub-
lican periods. John Hancock (whose
substantial contributions to our
early history are ironically over
shadowed by the flourish Of his
signature) is standing, clad In
plum brown waistcoat and coat with
gold braid and buttons, and black
breeches. His wife is seated in a
rose upholstered chair. She is wear
ing a pale grey gown, richly trimmed
with black lace over the bodice. The
only sour note in this symphony is
her badly painted, quite lifeless left
arm and hand, which may have
been an unfortunate restoration"
of later date.
Thirteen of the l947-48 acquisi-
tions are included in the exhibition
OF American drawings and water
colors, which has been in the
atrium all summer. Any one who
has not yet seen this survey of the
development of drawing in Amer
lea since the 18th century, should
visit 1t before September II, the
closing date. Five watercolors and
drawings were purchased with the
objective of rounding out this show.
Among them is John Singleton
Copley's drawing in crayon and

detail for The Siege and Re-
lief of Gibraltar" The three fig
