CHICAGO, July 11.-Arraignment
of Chicago's postoffice authorities by
, the National Art Society because OF
the exclusion of its journal from the
mails, with the tart comment that
the officials didn't know the differ
ence between a Venus de Milo and
mud pie" has excited an equally tart
reply: "A Halsted street barkeeper's
recitation OF Hamlet is not art" The
judging of what is art and mailaDie
brings frequent clashes all over the
country, the rule of the department
being complied with rigidly and ac-
cording to precedent. There is an in
teresting difference recognized be-
tween the original paintings and stat
uary and the reproduction which an
official who has TO discriminate put
this way: The original Venus de
Milo was art but a picture of IL
printed on cheap paper is not art.
One does not need a pair of specta-
cles to see the sun and some pictures
are the first aid to immortality The
exclusion which raised the wrath of
the art society was due TO a picture
.of La Source" by Ingres. which rep
.resents a woman-in the nude-hold-
ing an overlooking Jar upon her
shoulders. In consequence, the ar
raignment of the postal censors as
''prudes." The magazine was re-
leased, by q wire from Washington,
but row the department is debating
whether in the future the lady of la
Source" must wear clothes even in
midsummer or be kept from the
.Iails.
