matter of fact, did not possess the
Fleming's gift of headlong attack. he
was nothing like as swinging brush
man. But here, for once, he has a
Rubens-like strength and poise, and
only heightens the glory of his work
by giving it refinement and a polish
about which Rubens knew nothing.

Reynolds asked Mrs. Sddons to choose
her own attitude, which she did at
once, just as we see it in the picture.
Another tale makes the design the re-
suit of accident and that pounce upon
lucky change of position, which was
characteristic of Sir Joshua. In all
probability each story has some truth
in it, A single glance is enough to
show that if Michael Angelo had never
painted his prophets and sibyls in the
Vatican Chapel, Reynolds would never
have left Us the "Tragic Muse" we
know. Not that it takes much from

ALLIES WON'T ACT
UNLESS WE APPROVE
CRy Associated rress,

London, May 3.-The Allied
Supreme Council today decided
to take no naval action against
Germany without consulting the
United States. This was agreed
to after full discussion with the
French and British admirals.
The council approved meas
ures for occupation of the Ruhr
valley if Germany refuses to
comply with the Allied ultima
tum. 1t was agreed Germany
may issue bonds as a guarantee
of the reparations, payments to
run 81 years and bear interest at
5 per cent with l per cent for a
sinking fund. In this way it is
believed Germany will be made
to pay to the utmost farthing, but
yet preserve German industries.
The amount of the reparations
was fixed yesterday at $32,142,-
100000. Germany has nine days
to accept or reject.

ROSTERS SHOULD
GO after MAY q
tBy Associated Press)

Lexington, KY, May 3-Mr.
Rooster has had the death or
imprisonment" sentence passed
upon him.
His fate today was settled by
the poultry department of the
College of Agriculture here
which issued proclamation call
ing upon poultry raisers to either
lock up their roosters or senf
them to the frying pan or stew
kettle. during the week of May q
to 28 The week was desginated
as Rooster Week"
Mr.. Rooster, according to the
poultry authorities. is a useless
appendance of the barnyard after
the middle of May, iii spite of his
substituting for the alarm clock
in the "wee sma' hours" :" For,
they say, it is he that causes
summer eggs to spoil SO quickly.
"We have decided said J. H.
Bards1ey, poultry expansion spe-
cialist, ''that the hen can't be
blamed if the egg is bad. 1t was
ended. The rooster is the guilty
bird and his penalty must be the
block, market house or the coop"
AS a result of the investigation
of the specialists, it was decided
to conduct an extensive campaign
during the week of May 23-2S
to show farmers the need of put
ting male birds where they will
not be in contact for the hens,
It has been shown, it was stated,
that it is an Improbable practice
to hatch chicks after June /, and
therefore fertile eggs are not
needed.
Fertile eggs may be unfit for
food after "A hous in warm
weather" said Mr. Bardsley.
"Whi1e an infertile egg NAV be
placed in an incubator at 103 de-
grees and left for fourteen days
after which it is still suitable for

WINDOW SHOWS
THE ANNUNCIATION
Beautiful Memorial In New First
Presbyterian Church Given BY
F. w. Henderson

No more beautiful memorial
could have been placed in the
new Presbyterian church so soon
to be dedicated, than the large
window over the main entrance,
the gift of Mr. F. w. Henderson,
Of Brady, Texas, in memory Of
lis wife, Margaret Miller Hen
derson, youngest sister, of Mrs.
Robert Miller. and of Miss Mary
Belle Miller, and Mrs. Lucie Mil
ler Wooten, of Winchester, KY.
The subject IS the Annunciation
of the Nativity Of Christ by the
Angel of the Lord to the Shep-
herds keeping watch over their
focks by night. "And 10, the
Angel of the Lord came upon
them and the Glory of the Lord
shown round about them, and
sore afraid; and the Angel said
unto them, Fear not, for behold
/ bring you tidings Of great JOY,
which shall be to all people For
unto you is born this day in the
City of David a Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord"
The Star of Bethlehem shines
over the scene and cast its gold
en- rays on the upturned faces and
richly colored robes of the Shep-
herds. The focks huddled to-
gether in sleep, guarded by the
faithful shepherd dog, the City
of David dimly seen in the dis
tance, the larger and wondering
faces of the Shepherds are clear
ly revealed by the radiant pres
ence of the Angel of the Lord
who with outstretched wings
stands over all ready to join with
the multitude of the heavenly
host, praising God, saying Glory
to God in the highest, OH earth
peace and good will to men.
This inspiring subject has been
skillfully executed by the Louis
vile Art Glass Company, the
painting is the work of ] B. AL
berts well known portrait painter
of Louisville, and the church at
Richmond is certainly to be con-
graduated on possessing a win
dow so exquisite and artistic.
