d., during the year 1919. in glazed cages
en- a balcony at Algiers, were given
fixed daily rations of loo. srammes OF
green meat, which was always cor-
sumcd, and a ration of oats from day
to day. A vessel conta lining known
quantity Of oats was placed inside the
cage for this purpose so that the guinea
pigs could take as much or as little as
desired. The weight of what was loft
over showed the amount consumed day
by day. The guinea pigs were all
weighed, at first daily, then every fourth

Paintings.

The first step towards the estab-
lishment OF "A municipal art gallery
IN South Bend was taken last night
at the oliver hotel when q O not
able paintings. THE Telling OF the
Bee Tree" by J.. Clarence Ball. and
The Valley OF the sun" by Albert
Lynch. was unveiled and presented
as the nucIeus OF the proposed col
lection. A large number Of art en-
thusiasts were present and plans
were made 10 form permanent or
ganization.
The Ball picture was bought by
popular subscriptions and was pre-
scented TO the municipal art gallery
committee by q. y. Fassett. who
delivered an euloCy on the arust
and mis- work. Mr.. Ball was a local
artist who was just reaching the
summit Of his fame when death
overlook him. The second picture.
The Valley of TIE sun" was pre-
scented by Mr.. and Mrs Burr c.

was awarded the medal Of the Le-

That South Bend should have a
municipal art gallery was the senti-
ment OF all the speakers Of the

gestions on the formation Of an art
collection. She paid particular COM

secured. and declared that few

ciated Arts and traced briefly the

ton in American art circles Mrs.
White pointed out the opportunities
existing today for American artists.
She explained the awful conditions
existing in Europe, and declared
that many OF the best foreign artists

others have been so shocked by the
scenes Of carnage they have wit

Mrs. White further stated thas
American artists led the world as

the practice Of Americans in going

the ways in which commercialism

pointed out the importance OF an art

local art exhibition were discussed
