The person who is the fpoint of cen

Italian art and furnishings is not

McManus entirely at home
The creditor of Bringing Up Father,

and other works of the imagination
and industry, lives on Central Park
South and does most Of his contriv-
ing at a window high enough above
the life of the streets to be away from
its noise and motion and wide enough
to appear to let the park in. AS he
says to himself: THE landlord doesn't
own the park, but he makes me pay
for it, and it's worth it"
when McManus first began telling
the world in pictures how many
laughs per hour it had in ii, he used
to draw them anywhere, mostly in
Park Row newspaper office, and in
general air of commotion and urg-
ency. He says now that that's bad
for art-that to ask a man to Keep
his thoughts fresh in place crowded
with editors, art mana gers, argument,
cigaret smoke and horse play and
amateur oratory is like asking man
with ten children to make his will at

Quiet and BY Yourself,
you've got to be in a quiet place by
yourself, he maintains. if you want to
do yourself any sort of reasonable
Justice as a serious artist. Because
what the non-professional mind &C
cepts and describes as comic art Is
serious art in the fullest meaning and
extension of that term, the most ex-
acting and exhausting and uncom-
promisingly difficult art known to the
whole business of being an artist
The dogma to the effect that he who
laughs last laughs best holds all the
way thru the making of humorous
pictures for the dear public. Let the
laughter die down for the space of
gesture in one of the pictured char
acters or be wanting in the roll of an
eve or the twist OF a-lip. and instead
of merriment there's melancholy and
nobody but the artist is to blame.
And above AL the last laugh at the
last point in the last minute of the last
picture in a series has got to be the
best laugh and ring absolutely true
to life. If it isn't. the whole affair
flivvers.

window comprehends this. and there
are days when he takes the work of
half a day off his drawing board.

Convicts in most instances have hope
of ultimately returning to civil life at
conclusion of their sentences or upon
parole. But the mules in the prison
mines, when once taken below, rarely
ever return to the surface where they
may again breathe pure air and bask
in pure sunlight. Some of the mules
in the Lansing mines have been there
eight or ten years, Barrier said.
The mules, however. do not bemoan
their fate. for they are literally fed
and well cared for. They are in good
physical condition. sleek in appear
ance. They seem to be contented with
their lot despite the fact that they are
virtually prisoners for life in an under

Was Well Educated.
Dewey was well educated when he
came to Kansas. He carried the
polished manners of a gentleman of
culture and in some ways was a
strange figure in the western Kansas
gatherings of that day. At his head
quarters and residence in Rawlins
county he established a fine library,
and he maintained himself in as much
luxury as a rich young man could ac-
quire in such a newly settled country.

Dr.. BaIIou for Viewpoint
on Stand.

A committee Of high school alumni
who took an active part in all phases
OF school life. as well as in fraternity
activities. was appointed after
three-hour conference of the inter
Commerce Assembly rooms last night
to wait on Or. Ballou. superintendent
of schools. and ge, his reaEcns for
the recent ruling against fraternities.
I'VE are determined" officers of the
council said last night after the con-
ference, ito get this entire subject
opened up and aired before the pub
lie. We want to get the clear light
Of publicity and public opinion TO-
cused on the fraternity question. We
believe that public sentiment is in
favor of allowing the fraternities to
operate unmolested by the school ad
ministrators. ana that such a senti-
ment will grow stronger as the real
facts are made more generally
known"
The purpose of the committee ap-
pointed to wait on DIR. Ballou is TO
objections he may have to the fra
ternities which led to the promulga-
tion of a ruling by the board Of
education debarring members of Sc
cret societies from obtaining honors
or distinction while in school.
The committee consists of Joseph

Joyce and Willis Kern.
The interfraternity council was
much encouraged In its campaign 10

port given by two speakers at the

was made that a majority of the cit

supporting the fraternities and de-
manding that they be allowed TO con-
tinue.
The assembly room of the Chamber
of Commerce was filled to overfiowine
with alumni fraternity men and more
than a score of prominent business
