The theft in Belgium Of one Of Vandykes
masterpieces. ''The Raising of the Cross" from
the church of NOtre Dame at COurtrai. is only
another evidence of the acuteneSs Of the
thieves who are steadily despOiiing the Belgian
churches Already round NIalines many Of the
smaller churches have been robbed of religious
treasures that are valuable and antique, and il
is probable that worse is to come, for the
churches of Belgium are famous for their works
of art and thefts therefrOTn having been proved
easy, 1t is more than likely that many will still
be carried off. The stolen picture placed
over a chapel altar behind the choir, and Was
usually only unveiled for strangers festival
days The church is undergoing restoration, and
over the principal entrance there was a hole
covered by boards. The thieves removed these
and easily entered. cutting the picture from its

Although the canvas was large, it was easily
rolled and concealed. and eager were the

There is one feature of New York's New
Years Eve that many visitor from out OF town
has anticipated. It Is the churchbell chimes,
especially those of Trinity. ringing out over

Wall street and lower Broadway. Well, there
was a man from Kokomo. Ind. in the city last

of his clothes. not to mention his watch and

that the year is fact, and toast is drunk
