ANCIENT GREEK SCULPTURE
Classical Art Compared by Noted
Sculptor with That Of Our
Own Day.

An article on Greek versus modern
sculpture which Mr.. William 0rdway
Partridge contributes to Brush and
Pencil" Is interesting because the al-
thor, being himself sculptor, knows
whereof he writes. He finds modern
art too c0nscious-"never unconscious'
is his expression-whereas the Greeks
carved their souls In marble, expressed
ideas rather than actions, the result
being THE splendid simplicity before
which we bow to-day, as well as the
perfect blitheness and sanity of which
Winkelmann speaks
Tie author also refers to the Greek
reverence for the nude, which is some
thing quite different from pandering to
coarse and vulgar taste. To the Greek
sculptor the nude form was the most
bold and perfect thing in the world,
the home of the immortal spirit. But
in The greatest period of Greek art the
figure seldom is found treated entirely
nude, for the reason that the Greek
discovered that drapery, properly han.

and helped out its action. He did not
scruple to. take much poetic license
WITH drapery. as, for instance, in the
Elgin marbles and the figures Of the
friezes. Greek drapery eddies about
the limbs; Of the figure as the. water
of brook eddies about a stone.
It is interesting to note that, difler-
ent as are the results, the sculptors Of
ancient Greece worked, technically
speaking, precisely like the sculptors
q to-day. The fine marks on the mar
ole show that the statues were ''point-
ed up" exactly as ours to-day. Point
ing up is q technical phrase. It refers
to the delicate process Of measuring
the marble replica of the clay or plas-
ter model and testing the accuracy Of
the copy by pencil marks and . fine
needle in . little measuring machine.
The needle leaves infinitesimal marks
in the surface thence the origin Of the
phrase pointing up" 'tIn this and
other technical directions the art Of
sculpture Is piled to-day as it was In
the days of Philias and Praxiteles," IL

ABOUT CULTURE OF LILY.
Cover Beds With STRAW in Winter ana
with Two Inches Of Leaf Mold
In Summer.

The secret Of lily culture is the fact
that most Of the desirable species make
roots above the bulb, as well rs below.
It is extremely important to preserve
the feeding roots thrown out by that
portion Of the stem which Il above the
bulb, but below the surface Of tha
ground. The way to do this is to mulch
the lily bed both summer and winter,
/. O., cover 1t about two inches deep with
ftnes leaf mold In summer and about
three inches deep with strawy litter In
winter.
The summer mulch prevents the e.
cape Of moisture from the soil and
keeps the roots that feed near the sur
face moist and cool. These are condi-
tions which are needed BY all surface
feeding plants, 9. g., rhodode dendrons and
laurel. Consequently the proper
thing for the millionaire to do is to
plant lilies by the thousand among his
dodendrons. Thus he gets two crops
Of flowers on the same ground, and his
lilies have the advantage Of . good back
ground In the broad-leaved evergreens,
for most lilies have unworthy foliage Of
their own. Z
Lily culture is q very special thing,
and it will pay to follow closely these
directions for making lily bed:
Dig ten: inches deep, but in . three.
inch layer Of broken bricks or small
stones, as lilies must have perfect drain
age. Cover this material with an inch
Of sand. Set the lily bulbs on this cush-
ion of sand and drop handful Of sand
on top Of each bulb. Then Ill your bed
with SIX inches Of fine. rich, mellow soil,
containing plenty Of well-decomposed
manure Be very careful not to have
any fresh manure near the bulbs, % II
will ruin them. Cover the bed with
three inches Of strawy manure. Next
spring remove the straw and after the
plants are SIX inches above ground put
on two inches Of fine leaf mold.
The following require deep planting.
say SIX inches: Lilium auratum, ele-
gans, speciosum, tigrinum.
The following do not make roots
above the bulbs and therefore require
shallow planting, say, four inches:

COLONY WORKERS
IN GOLDEN State
STATE REALTY FEDERATION
TAKES ACTION
Committee Appointed to Suggest Best
Method Of Stamping Alleged
Fraudulent Practices
by Agencies

In an interview Herbert Burdett. ex-
ecutlve secretary of the California
state Realty fedt-ation calls attention
to important action taken by the re-
cent state convention held at Fresno.
The convention named committee
whose duty 1t will be to wipe out al
legged fraudulent practices In connec-
tion with colonization work in various
parts of California. The subject came
before the convention in the shape of a
recommendation In Secretary Burdett's
report that some effort he made to
protect intending colonists in this state
against fraud. The duty of the COM
mittee was defined as devisng plans
for economizipg and systematizing adj
vertsing in the east, to lead home
seekers and colonists to members of
the federation as agents, whos = mem
bership would be guaranty Of fair
dealing; to investigate cases of fraud
or willful Misrepresentation of condiN
tlons and values, and to obtain better
railroad rates, not only for intending
settlers, but for the members of the
federation themselves. This committee
will hold a meeting in San Francisco
in the near future and map out a plan
of campaign. Herbert Burdett was
made chairman and the other members
are as follows: Joseph r. LOTUS of
Los Angeles, j, S. Naismith of Oa':-
land. Charles league of Fresno, w. r.
Wilson of San Jose. Mr.. Shilling of
Berkeley and San Francisco man to
be added later,
The idea of the promoters of this
plan is to impress upon colonists the
fact that an effort is being made to
make membership in the California
State Realty federation synonymous
with fair dealing, and that whenever
any cases of fraud are brought to the
attention of the members they will be
and prosecuted. 1t has
been determined to nut stop to the
willful misrepresentation of conditions
and values which is practiced by un-
scrupulous dealers all over the state
and to safeguard the interests of those
who wish to make their homes in Cali
forna and buy lands in this state.
