 Tops of rich and effective cloth make the new Autumn and Winter shoes for women very attractive.
 These tops are of black or of shades which contrast pleasingly with the bottom of patent or dull leather.
 They are cut in new and graceful shapes, are finished with little touches that add to their charm, Sometimes practically all the shoe ex+ cept the front of the lower part is made of this cloth and then the contrast with the polished leather is un- usually rich.
 Nearly all the new styles have narrow toes while heels are either high or medium.

MAKE "FLY RACE.ScICIDE."

Professor Haseman of the entOmol-
oey department has made a suggestion
which should meet with ready accept
ance. The slogan. Swat the Fly" is
all very well. However. il is causing
people to think that swatting is the
best thing to do.
But such a process is essentially an
attempt to put out a fire after it has
a good start The suggestion is that
we change the slogan to Fly Race
Suicide" In other words. make ii i'm
possible for the fly to be born.

and most of the characters are taken
from mythology. Some of them are
badly mutilated but the immense size
of their imposing figures aids them
in carrying the ravages of time with
becoming dignity.
There are several show cases. Some
contain plaster-cast heads and curiOs-
tiles, or bas relief. But one case dis
plays collection of broken pieces of
pottery used in ages long ago. To give
an idea of the age. some are labelled
"Mycenae." 'Corinth." "Mistra." Some
pieces come from Asia Minor: others
are dated S00-400 b. c. The ancient

of pottery. AS one contemplates them.

a few sculptured metopes which were
reproduced from the originals in the
Temple. of Zeus and the Parthenon. A
reproduction of the Ionic FrieZe on the
celia of the Parthenon occupies large
part of the wall Although the figures
are somewhat obliterated, it is inter
esting to study the composition.
Many books on the history of art,
for reference use lie on tables in the
room.
As one sits back in a chair. leisure
ly contemplating the various reproduc-
tions of the great sculptOrs, the ideas
and sentiments that prompted their
birth recall themselves. The imposing
display of muscle and physical beauty
lends to the figures a strength and
royal dignity that is hard to find in
modern sculpture.

TX. ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM.

The Art Museum is the recluSe OF
the University II is the sanctum of
the masters of art. Its location on
the third floor OF Academic Hall indi-
Gates it as such. and removes it from
the hurry-scurry atmosphere of the
rest of the building. The click of type
writer's. the laughter and loud conyer-
sation of the students passing to and
fro do not penetrate its seclusion and
its classic placidity is seldom disturb
ed.
The entrance from the hall leads
into a long. narrow corridor which
extends through the building. Close
against each wall stands row of cas-
es containing pictures arranged in
chronological order. There appears
to be an attempt to group painters
who were contempOraneous. rather
than to group them by schools. On the
walls above the cases hang pictures
representative of the same periods as
those in the case directly below.
All the pictures. with the exception
of four oil paintings, are prints.
Among the four are The Age of limo
cense." by Sir Joshua Reynolds. and
Erasmus" by Holbein, which are
among the best reproductions ever
made. Mona Lisa is there, too. and her
inscIutable smile is as tantalizing as
ever
The best prints of the paintings from
the Dutch. Flemish, Italian. German.
French and English schools are found
there. Raphael Titan. Membrandt,
Hans Holbein and others equally great
are literally represented. The absence
of more modern painters is noticeable.
Because the light in the room is very
poor. there being only one window at
either end. it is extremely difficult to
arrange the pictures in positions to
bring out the lights and shadows to
the best possible advantage.
AS one passes along the room, the
various characters who are historically
familiar seem to nod a welcome The
unfamiliar ones, however. return the
ignorant stare with all the classic
scorn at their command.
A door in this corridor leads into
room about twice as wide as the corri-
dor. though of the same length. This
room has many windows and the
strong sunlight that enters. lights up
the huge plaster-cast figures distribu-
ted around the room. These are repro
ductions of famous pieces of sculpture
