of the American Amateur Photograph
er, there seizes us once more the
fervor of the enthusiast. From the
high shelf down comes the camera, the
plate holders are loaded, and we tramp
across the green fields looking for pic
tures-or pretending to. For half the
cause of our wandering has naught to
do with the black box we carry with
us. The primitive instinct for change,
the ancestral wanderlust, it is, that has
seized US and driven US forth to ma
turo.

Don't let anyone tell you Jim JET
fries will ever fight again." says Ar.
thur Crane, former amateur middle
weight champion. "He will never
again draw on boxing glove. Jim
told me so, and believe him. All the
talk of Jeff's returning to the ring Is
just circulated to get him few OF
these $1,000 refereeing jobs. 1t keeps
his name before the public and boosts
things nicely. I don't think jeff could
ever again get in shape for a battle.
He is huge and soft, lazy and comfort
able, and he doesn't even think Of
fighting. He's not broke, either-still
has money put away, and has a farm
worth keeping. If he takes up the
boxing game in Los Angeles-runs a
club there-he will make fortune,
for the people have full confidence in
him and have lost faith in Tom Nc

I was bit puzzled by certain fight

he had seen McCarey, and that Tom
said to him: We'll, do you wish to

PostoHice Robbed.

Twin Valley.-Robbers broke into
the postoffice and blew open the safe,
getting away with several hundred
dollars worth Of stamps.
The robbers secured an entrance to
the Office by breaking the glass in the
top part of the back door, which en-
abled them to put an arm into the
aperture and draw the bolts and also
turn the knob of Yale lock which
reinforced the double bolt. Using a
sledge hammer and a chisel which
they secured from neighboring
blacksmith shop, they knocked the
dial off the safe, and inserted gum
powder. This was touched off with a
fuse and the outer shell Of the door
was forced off. 1t was an easy mat
ter to pry open the inner shell that
was left, and the contents of the safe,
consisting of several hundred dollars
worth of stamps and small amount
of change was taken.

ARTISTS Want HOME IN PARIS
American Association in France
Starts Clubhouse Project.
Board of Governors Gives First 200
Frnncs-EIeven Hundred Stu
dents from United States.

The American Art Association Of Paris,
a Rue Notre Dame les Champs. finds its
scope extending in such a degree that il
must consider the question Of seeking new
quarters. It was decided az once to begin
collecting funds for the purchase Of a site
ana the erection thereon of a permanent
home for the association. An endowment
fund was created with a nucleus Of LOCO
francs set aside from the general funds
Of the association.
Having thus begun on the laudable prin-
cipie of 'Aide-toi. Ie cieI taidera," the
board of governors now turns for support
TO art patrons and to all Americans inter
ested in the welfare of their compatriots
who come to Paris to study art To ap-
preciate the calls made upon the associa-
ton. il is necessary TO state that every
year there are about 1,l00 American stu
dents in the French capital studying
painting. sculpture, Illustration, architec-
tuTe, and music. As a rule. the benefit Of
these studies is not limited to the student
himself, for on his return to America he
becomes an effective factor in the diSsem-
ination of a knowledge and appreciation
of art in all parts of the country. The
logical conclusion is that to further the
work of the American Art Association is
to render service to the cause of art in
America.
At the same meeting new officers of the
association were elected, as follows:
President Rodman Wanamaker; first vice
president. Paul W Bartlett: second vice
president, Herbert W. Faulkner, honor
airy secretary, Sidney 3. Welt; treasurer
II. H Harjes; board of governors, Frank
II. Mason. W. 5. Dalitha, B. J. Shoninger.
II. w. Faulkner, Perry Peixotto, Sidney
B. Veit, II. II. HaTjes. Francis Kimbel
II. II. Getty George II. Leonard, T. Nor
ton Johnson, and +. W. Simmons
The members of the new art committee
are: II. S. HubbeII, chairman; Lionel
Walden, r. Ullmann, D. S. MacIaughlah.
and A st. G.. Huntington. as painters;
Chester Beach and r. Glasgens. as scuIp-
