    BUFFALO BILL IN
BRONZE ON GUARD
Statue of Famous Scout Will
Be Unveiled at Cody
in July.
Cody, Wyo.—Within a few months
those who travel the old Wyoming
trail to Yellowstone Park through the
little town of Uody will come upon a
bronze statue of the famous cowboy
for whom the town was named—an
equestrian statue, mounted on a gran
ite terrace and silhouetted against the
sky, the rider gazing westward to the
Rockies.
A remarkable figure was Ool. Wil
liam F. Cody, better known as BuffTale
Bill; a man whose life was filled with
adventure. He was, at various times,
a rider of the Pony Express when that
was the only connection between the
ranches and the rest of the world; a
stage driver, a cowboy, a hunter, a
guide, and an army scout. He engaged
la fights with the Indlaas. In buffalo
stampedes, and In thrilling old-fash
ioned round-ups. He always wore
"shootin' Irons" and seldom missed a
target, even when It was In swift mo
tion. He was thoroughly familiar with
every nook and cranny of the Western
plains, and mountains, and had hunted
ever almost every mile.
Great Bison Hunter.
They called him Buffalo Bill because
of his record In shooting those great
beasts, the American bison. He killed
more than 4,000 In a year and a half.
In fact, the slaughter was so great that
It caused a protest. The meat was not
wasted, however, for at that time the
Kansas Pacific railroad was in the
course of construction and the buffalo
meat was distributed to the worBmen
for food.
Wild riding and big-game shooting
pall a bit as one grows older, so Col
onel Cody capitalized Ills experiences
by organizing a Wild West show. In
bis later days he did his cowboying
more or less by proxy. But, ah, the
thrill when the great Buffalo Bill him
self rode out into the arena! How ,
small boys adored his splendid riding |
and his handsome figure! The gay
trappings of the show, the bucking j
bronchos, the gallant cowboys, the yell
ing Indians—well, even grown-ups en
joyed hi* dramatization of the West
■of pioneer days.
It was the traveling show that made
Buffalo Bill popular In eastern Amer
ica and in Europe. That show was an
education In the thrills and hardships
of frontier life; it gave vivid pictures
of the difficulties of the early path
finders of the nation, and illustrated
the coarage of pioneers and scouts.
The Fourth of July this year Is the
day chosen for the unveiling of the new
statue. The ceremony will be a part
of the program of the Cody Stam
pede. an exhibition of horsemanship
and the prowess of the cowboys given
yearly by the people of thq neighbor
ing ranches. For three days Main
street Is a mass of life and color, cow
boys in chaps and colored shirts, cow
girls In broad-brimmed bats and pic
turesque riding clothes, Indians In gay
blankets. For three days visitors can
almost believe that the spirit of the
old West has taken possession of
Wyoming again, because all the fea
tures of the ’70s are present
Mrs. Whitney's Statue.
Colonel Cody’s granddaughter, Miss
Jane Cody Garluw, will unveil the
bronze horseman, which Is the work
of Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. Stand
ing 15 feet high and mounted at a
commanding altitude above the sur
rounding country, Buffalo Bill guards
the trail. The statue is considered
one of Mrs. Whitney’s best pieces of
work. No pains were spared to
achieve perfection In every detail; a
horse was sent from the old Cody
ranch in order that the proper type of
model should be available—just such
a horse as the cowboy used to ride.
Smoky, the model fftr the statue, waa
shipped Bast, and Mrs. Whitney chose
the type of rider she wanted and then
had the two go through their puces la
Central park, while she studied each
gesture and pose, selecting and reject
ing time and again before she found
what ahe believed would convey best
the spirit of Colonel Cody’s person
ality. At last visualizing him as rein
lag In his horse to listen for any sound
thst might be brought on the wind,
sha caught the desired pose.
Because of the size of the statue
Mrs. Whitney had to have scaffolds
and a revolving platform constructed
ao that she could move around her
subject with ease as she worked.
When the question of placing the
statue, with a suitable background
arose, It was deemed necessary to
build a special granite platform, which
was no small piece of engineering.
Mrs. Whitney made a trip to Oody so
that she could see the exact setting of
the work when it should be completed.
The magnificent granite terracee with
their horee and rider form the center
of s scene which has on one side Rat
tlesnake mountain, on the other Cedar
mountain, both peaks snow-capped
through most of the year. A stream
stf water has been directed into a
channel at the base of the terrace as a
reminder of Colonel Cody's interest In
irrigation.
Tbs Buffalo Bill American associa
tion, which haa Gen. John J. Pershing
for its chairman, la financing the plan.
This association “sponsors outdoor

Mrs. Whitney's model for the statue
has lately been on exhibition In Paris

1,800 BOSTON STREETS
TO BE 6IVEN NEW NAMES
Duplication in the Name* of Thor
oughfares Reaches 3,000, Com
missioner Learns.
Boston.—With a movement under
way to change the names of nearly
L8O0 Boston thoroughfares, this clty’a
tangled street situation, ever the bane
of the visitors and travelers, may be
unraveled by next year, in so fur af
duplication in uumes is concerned.
Chairman John H. L. Noyes of the
street commissioners has laid plans
for one of the greatest municipal
christening parties ever carried out.
Impressed more and more by th«
complications arising from the repeti
tion of identical street names in vari
ous districts of the city, und some
times even in the same district. Chair
man Noyes has amassed figures and
facts showing that Boston lias six
Washington streets and five Washing
ton places within the city limits, not
Including Washington Street North.
He has found that there are six
streets named after the well-known
Adams family and that In addition
four "blind alleys” in various streets
go by the name of “Adams place.”
Six other streets bear the name
“West.”
Altogether, the number of duplica
tions reaches the enormous total of
8,100—this out of an aggregate of
5,484 avenues, courts, parks, places,
roads, squares, streets and terruces.
On the list of 3,100 street names
where duplication occurs approxi
mately 1,300 distinctly different names
appear. Basing their calculation on
these figures, the officials have esti
mated that the difference represents
the number of streets which must ba
renamed, approximately 1,800 In all.
Further perusal of the city’s street
lists reveals five Auburn streets, ttvs
Austin streets, five Elm streets, five
Everett streets, five High streets, flvs
Bark streets, five School streets and
five Water streets. There are five
separate Lincoln places. There are
four Brook streets and three Broods
places. Four streets bear the name
of Allen and four more are named
Allston. Similar instances occur al
ftiost Indefinitely.
Chairman Noyes has admitted the
magnitude of his task In finding 1,800
new names for thoroughfares. Be
sides soliciting suggestions from Bos
tonians, his board will study the
street lists of other cities and towns
in the United States, hoping here and
there to find a name as yet unused
in Boston.
Scarlet Fever Serum It
Pronounced Successful
Baltimore.—A new serum which is
said to give promise of revolutionizing
the method of treating scarlet fever
has been tried out with “very favor
able” results in 18 cases at the Syden
ham hospital here.
The new curative is being developed
by Ur. Alphrms Raymond Dochez, an
associate professor of medicine at Co
lumbia university, and its successful
use lias also been reported by hospitals
in New York, New Haven, Conn., and
Peking.
Injection of the new potion into
muscles of the patient is said generally
to have the effect of reducing the tem
perature to normal In about twelve
hours, and in practically every case
the rash accompanying the fever also
is dispelled.
Ur. Byrckhead Macgowan, superin
tendent of the Sydenham hospital, ex
plained that ttie serum Is almost alone
In the field of scarlet fever treatments.
It Is produced through immunization
of horses and is the result of experi
ments conducted by Doctor Doc he*
since about 1917.
Each Person Should Eat

tables required by a single person dur
ing a year, and to assist home garden
ers further, have fixed the space need

Their first conversation
betrayed the fact that
she was not fastidious
AT a distance she had appeared
i unusually neat, immaculate.
But upon their first face-to-face
meeting he discovered that her teeth
were not dean. And he soon lost
interest.
So many people overlook this one
matter of fastidiousness. And do so
in spite of the fact that in conversa
tion the teeth are the one most
noticeable thing about you.
Notice today how you, yourself,
watch another person’s teeth when
he or she is talking. If the teeth are
not well kept they at once become
a liability.
