the meaning of the horrible struggle
with nature and the beasts through
which he and his race have passed.
His FIST under his chin, his toes
grasping the rock on which he sits,
he IL burdened with thoughts that
exceed human strength.
Robins sculptures continually ex-
press the cruel struggles of the
human mind with unbearable con.
ditions. A remarkable example of
this Is "The Centauress."
The human female bust of this
monster reaches toward a goal that
the outstretched arms cannot reach,
while the heavy horses launches
press back and refuse the attempt.
II is the symbol Of the human soul
with its ethereal impulses held cap
tive by the brutal flesh.
Concerning the remarkable work
entitled "The KISS" Paul Gsell. the

writes:

"The Hand OF God" "The Danaid,"
The Old Courtesan." Eve" 1.-THE
Centauress." Victor Hugo" THE
Sphinx" and 1.-THE Call to Arms"
THE Durghers OF Calais" is a pc.
culiarly interesting work to give
to England at this time. Il recalls
the fact that England and France
were long at war but have now be-
come friends. II also derives n Ger.
tain timeliness from the fact that
Calais and the adjacent cities OF
France and Belgium are bearing
much OF the burden of the present
terrible conflict.
History tells us that the English
King Edward III. besleged Calais
and was Infatuated by the long re-
ststance OF the town. When the
city was on the point OF surrender
ing through starvation the people
asked the English King what terms
they could obtain.
Thes savage King said he would
burn the whole place down and kin
men, women adm children unless
they sent to him their six richest
citizens bearing the keys OF the city
and having ropes round their necks
with which they were TO be hanged.
The six citizens heroically offered
themselves for the sacrifice and
went out dressed only in sacks with
ropes round their necks. Then,
says the story, the English Queen,
touched with pity, went down on her
knees and begged the King to spare
them, which he did.
This group OF six figures in a pro-
cession has the effect OF showing
them In motion, form OF sculpture
for which Rodin has been criticized
and which he has strongly defended.
In commenting on this work he
said:
The sculptor TO show action.
needs only TO place his personages
In such manner that the spectator
shall first see those who commence
this action. then those who continue
II and finally those who complete
IT,"
"The Thinker" is the primitive
man In whom thought is beginning
20 dawn. He is trying TO think OF

other. successfully making the fore
head, the cheeks, the chin, and then
the eyes, nose and mouth. On the
contrary, from the first sitting the
whole mass must be conceived and
constructed In its varying circum-
ferences; that is to stay, in each of
its profiles.
"a head may appear ovoid, or like
a sphere in its variations. If we
slowly encircle this sphere we shall
see 1t In its successive profiles. AS
It presents itself, each profile differs
from the one preceding. II is this
succession of proflles which must be
reproduced, and which are the
means of establishing the true
volume of a head"
Many people have been shocked
by Robins tendency to depict the
horrible as In the figures OF the
starving "Burghers of Calais" or
the extraordinary exhibition of fe-
male wretchedness In THE Old

FTSHE amazing spirit OF patriot
ism that inspires France in
= the present conflict has been
strikingly illustrated by the great
French sculptor August Rodin.
He has presented to the British
nation twenty OF his finest pieces
Of sculpture as a mark OF his graft
tude for the help that England has
given to France.
This splendid collection Of statu.
airy is estimated to be worth in
marble, bronze, material and work
manship alone about 100000. When
the labor OF the artist, the most dis.
tinEuished sculptor of the day, Is
added, their value reaches an enor-
nous figure that would probably
place them beyond the purchasing
power of any private collector, now
that Pierpont Morgan is gone.
That an artist who began life as
a haif-Btarved workman and has only
achieved comparative affluence In
his old age should make such a
princely gift is fact worthy OF
general attention.
Rodin, being too old TO fight at
seventy-three, does the best he can
for his country by giving away his
work. II Is hoped that the million
aires OF France and England, stirred
by his example. will behave with
equal generosity to their countries.
In presenting the collection to the
British. Rodin said:
"The English and French are
brothers. Your soldiers are fighting
side by side with ours. AS a little
token OF my admiration for your
heroes decided TO present the col
lection 10 England.
Later hope 20 give you a statue
representing Belgium heroically sac
riflcing herself for the cause OF civ
lllzation."
The Rodin statues are in the South
Kensington Museum In London.
They represent all the principal
periods OF tho artists long life.
Among them are two of his largest
works, "The Burghers OF Calais" anu
THE Thinker" The others include
his John the Bartist," "The Kiss, =

Courtesan." To this Rodin replies:
There is nothing ugly in art ex.
cept that which is without character,
that is to say. that which offers no
outer or inner truth.
Whatever is false, whatever is
artificial, whatever seeks to be
pretty rather than expressive, what
ever is capricious and affected, what
ever smiles without motive, bends
or struts without cause, is man
nered without reason; all that Is
without soul and without truth; all
that Is only parade of beauty and
grace; all, in short, that lies, is
ugliness in art.
when an artist, trying to I'm
prove nature, softens the grimace of
pain, the shapelessness of age, the
hideousness OF perversion, when he
arranges nature-veiling, disguis-
ing, tempering 1t to please the ignor-
ant public-then he is creating ugli-
ness because he fears the truth"

instructors have for some time been

Il is realized that absolute accord

me: You don't go about that cor

Execute them in depth and not in
relief. Always work In that man
ner. so that a surface will neve.
seem other than the termination OF
a mass. Only thus can you achieve
success In sculpture"
Rodin thus explains why most
modern works OF sculpture appear
cold and lifeless:
To-day We are constantly work
ing In bas-relief. and that is why our
products are SO cold and meagre.

duces the qualities of life. For in

Make THIS and Try It
for Coughs
This IIome.Made Remedy has
NO Equal for Prompt
Results.

Nix one pint of granulated sugar with
minutes. Put 211a ounces of Pinex fifty
the Sugar Syrup. Take a teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours.
This simple remedy takes hold OF .
cough more quickly than anything else
you ever used. Usually conquefs an
ordinary cough inside of "a hours.
Splendid, too, for whooping cough,
spasmodic Group and bronchitis. It
stimulates the appetite and is slightly
laxative, which helps end a cough.
This makes more and better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made
for $3.50. It keeps perfectly and tastes
pleasant.
Pinex is a most valuable concen-
t:ated compound OF Norway white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural pine elements which are
SO healing to the membranes. Other
preparations will not work in this plan.
Making cough syrup with Pinex and
sugar syrup Cor strained honey has
proven SO popular throughout the United
States and Canada that it is often
initiated. But the old. successful mix
ture has never been equaled.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
