New York—8peaklng of monu

Washington the most beautifully
planned city in the world." remark
ed Janet Scudde- whose garden
fountains with their mischievous
chlldrep are internationally famous,
"and sculptors ruined it."
Congress, which commissioned the
sculptors, must take part credit
for the transformation of a perfect
city into a hodge-podge decked with
■tone horses that never were on land
tt sea and stodgy immortals in
v brpnse pants. Often, too. the statues
hive been so badly placed that they
Interfere when you look down what
should be a vista with an effect
absolutely monstrous.
The reason for the brasen frown
east by national monuments athw art
the conversation was the immi
nence of the all-American exhibi
tion of sculpture opening In San
Francisco on April 1 under the
auspices of the National Sculpture
Society of New York. Over 1,200
exhibits ere now In process of ship
ment from the studios of 300 Amer
icans here and abroad to the gal
leries and formal gardens at the
palace of the California Legion of
Honor.
It seems that the climate of
California, sometimes commented
upon by Its native sons, is favor
able also to outdoor sculpture.
Through the entries—ranging
from medallions to a two-ton group
en route from Genow—are appraised
at more than a million dollars. Miss
Seudder pointed out that the in
spiration value of the collection
is Incalculable. The result of a
$100,000 gift to the National Sculp
ture Society from Armer M. Hun
lngton. of New York, who Is re
lieving exhibitors even of shipment
expenses, the six month exhibition
Is-a non-profit enterprise, charging
no admission, and Including work
by young artists as well as by thoee
already renowned.
1 The collection constitutes the
largest showing of contemporary
American sculpture yet held and
one the most Important are events
of modem times. Its greatest val
ue, said Miss Seudder, will be the
proof that while all art is univer
sal, American sculpture, has some
thing individual to contribute,
i “This contribution." Miss Seudder
continued. "Is gayety." She was at

Billie Dove and Irvin Willat su
pervised a nocturnal gathering at
the Breakfast Club 'tother eve. Most
of the flicker alphabet arrived with
their A-B-C's and danced the deck
to those small A. M. hours. Ruth
Roland and Ben Bard plotted with
Billie to announce their engagement
with informal formality. 'Twas man
aged with the aid of a wooden shoe.
A waiter placed the shoe at Billie's
plate and BUllc reached in it and
pulled forth a slip on which was
printed: Wooden yen like to know
that Ruth Roland and Ben Bard arc
going to be married in .Tune?" And
everybody wood.
The engagement cycle has hit the
villrge with full force. Announce
ment of Bebe Daniels' engagement
to Ben Lyon stirred no end of
gasp-y comment. Curiously enough
they two met only recently. They
liked each other from the first how
dee-do. but the mutual admiration
society was really strengthened by
the devotion of each to his and her
mother. And both mothers are de
lighted with the match. Bebe met
Ben shortly tafter* she decided that
she an'd Jack Pickford had come to
the epd of their friendship. This
is the seccnd time thrt Ben has
been Jack's bad-luck-penny. When
Marilyn Miller, the W. K. Brcaa
way star, decided to divorce Pick
ford it was believed by the Rlaltc
Knowers thrt she and Ben would
get "hitched." But Marilyn changed
her mind. After, free-lancing is

then that he was through with
women insofar as ringing the left

tively that despite the wholesale
poisoning, adulteration, dilution
and huBirer-mueg-er synthesizing of
bootleg liquor which floods the
country, there remains one source
of uneontnnvihated spirits which
may be administered without anxi-!
ety to the old. infirm, influenza- |

in small quuntitles is prescribed by
physicians.
Contrary to prevailing opinion in
New York City, medicinal whiskey
is reasonably certain to be good

In short. The New York World
has found by an elaborate survey,
which involves extensive effort and
a cross-section sampling cf drug
store whiskey throughout New
York, that the chance of receiv
ing adulterated, diluted, poisoned
or doctored whiskey on prescrip
tion is very slight at the present
time.
Pure As Ever.
More than 95 times out of 100,
the survey and exhaustive chemical

whiskey on prescription for medi- 1

Wllbelin's Imagination Tricky.
Chr.rlctle News.
Wi’helm. once proud ruler of a
mighty nation, is seeing things. His
Imagination is tricktng him. Cele
brating his seventieth birthday in
exile he asks us to look upon a fan- i
ciful. c’c, a fantastic picture and
believe It true.
He ask-; the world to look upon
Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor, as a
would-be father of a league cf na
tions, and he pleads that he him
self. former high and mighty auto
crat, be recognised as the evangel
of peace. I
Such is the trick that hts imag- ,
lnr.tion plays upon his as he sits in,
the shadow of his refuge at Doom.;
Imagine, if you can, Bismarck j
working for an alliance to perpetu
ate peace! Ask the people cf
France about that. They remem- i
ber 1370. Ask the rulers of the prin- j
etpalittes and small States within
the German Empire about the
Russian premier. And If you would
know more of Wilhelm and Bis
marck read European history for
the past 40 years,
Ferhaps Wilhelm Is seeing things
as he sits alone In the great halls
cf Doom castle where ft kind-heart
ed government gave him refuge
when he fled and left his people in
them time cf greatest, trial.
Perhaps the dancing flames as
they blaze up from the logs in the
fireplace weave fanciful patterns.
Perhaps Wilhelm looks upon the
shambles of Belgium; maybe he
sees th ruins of Northern France;
probably the magic pattern in the
Flu Epidemic Is
Creating Record
Demand for Vicks
433*000 Jars Every 24 Hours
Needed to Keep the Nation
Supplied with Vapor-Salve.
Flu Milder But Widespread
That. the public has not forgot
ten the lesson of 1918 is indicated
by 11^ prompt response to the
warning of health authorities to
combat the flu by keeping free
from colds.
The demand for Vicks VapoRub,
the vaporising salve which proved
so valuable during the 1918 epi
demic. has already shattered by a
wide margin all prevent! records.
Although the capacity of tha
Vicks labo-atcj >es has been tripled
since HU they are once more op
erating i4gni shifts to meet tha na
tional emergency.
The present output of more than
439.000 Jan a day almost staggers
the imagination. It means that
every SC seconds, day and night,
over 3600 Jars of Vicks are going
out to check the nation's colds and
help ward off the flu.
MUd though it Is in comparison
with 1918. this year's epidemic has'
already alfected mme than a mil
lion persons, and it is apparently,
still increasing. i
weaving smcke shows him helpless
men; women and children by the
thousands battling the mighty wa
ters for life as their ship sinks and
a monster submarine slips away in
quest of other innocent and help
less lives; maybe he sees them, mill- !
lens of ruddy-faced German ladsj
dragged from their happy homes
and hurled into the roc ring hell
that was created by his own hand;
perhaps he sees Edith Cavell with
her back to. the’...wall; , maybe he
hears the deep-throated roar of his
own people as they turned upon
him and, undoubtedly as he sees
these things, he shrinks from the
realities rod desperately struggles
to free himself of blame for the
greatest calamity that has befallen
the civilized world.
Wilhelm’s place In hjslcrjr has
been fixed. Though the 'fierce hat
red that millions of people bore to
wards him is beginning to wane
they will never look upon him with
love and affection as the srvlor of
mankind or as an evangel of peace.
His lile is proof cf the Scriptur
al promise that he that “liveth by
the sword shall perish by the
sw^rd.” It is true that he la alive
but he has been stripped of all pow
er arid the glory rnd the adulation
that to him was the very breath
and spice of existence.
Turning again to his birthday
statement we read as he refers to
Bismarck:
"Germany has never formed any
alliance ber.ring the stamp of an
offensive policy. Bismarck’s care
fully planned and thought cut sys
tem of alliance aimed, as historical
research reveals more and more, at
maintenance of perce.’’
Possibly Wilhelm gets consolation
lrom that perverted' thoughts as
memories of the past arise to haunt
him. Maybe he is ab’e to persuade
himself that the realities are un
real and escape the torture of a
punishing conscience.
The world believes that plans for
the World War were in the making
within a-month after Frederick's
death and Wilhelm's ascension to
the throne and it will take more
than birthday statements from
Doom castle to place Wilhelm and
Bismarck in the role of peace and
to convince that the autocrat of
Potsdam was planning rather than
to make himself master of the
world.
