Burrows' daughter married John Nelson, Attorney General of the United States in the Tyler Adminis- tration.

Worked From Photographs. “Photographs were obtained of both these Drs. Neill, and were of great as- sistance to the artist in determining important family characteristics, which she later incorporated into her creation of a likeness of their fa- mous ancestor,” Marine Corps officials said today. For weeks before she actually un- dertook the portrait painting, Miss McCartney studied portraits of Col Heads Stamp Society. CHICAGO, August 20 (#).—An In- dianapolis attorney, Allan P.

These of Charles St. Memin were particularly useful, for he executed life-size heads in crayon and then reduced these likenesses by some mechanical meth- od to around 2 inches in diameter. These were engraved. Officials de- clared that a collection of these en- gravings and one original crayon por- | trait may be viewed at the Corcoran | Gallery of Art here. The Marine Corps officials, too, as- sisted in securing information for an authentic portrait. Availablg de- scriptions and regulations for uni- forms of Marine officers worn during Col. Burrows' regime were searched. The style of hair-dress worn by gen- tlemen of that period was likewise an object of research. Admirable Interpretation. Officials of the Marine Corps as- sert that the completed portrait is “an admirable interpretation of the strong personality of our first com- mandant, and due to the artist's par- ticular painting technique and the soft coloring used, it could easily pass | | for a portrait made during the First | Empire.” The authorities at the Navy De- partment recalled that the United States Marine Corps, in its present organization “came into existence as the result of an act of Congress passed July 11, 1798."

ARROW BEER made its first bow 1n 1913. It sold at a pre- mium, and the public gladly paid that premium. ARROW BEER was different. It was brewed different--zasted different --was different. It is the same grand beer today. The only difference is that you pay no premium for ARROW. We state flatly--with- out fear of contradiction--t4at ARROW BEER is premium beer at the price of ordinary beer. We pay a premium for qual- ity ingredients and then brew and age that quality 7.
