EARLY AMERICAN BLUE LAWS In 1643 the Idea of "PaternaIIsm" Had Distinct Hold on the
 Communities.

In early America the township and provincial authorities regulated pri- vate conduct and personal affairs with a rigOr which, if sought to be applied now, would raise a general and indig- nant outcry. What are called "blue laws" were familiar to our ancestors, and it would appear that they repre- sented public opinion as to what con- stituted proper and seemly conduct on the peoples part.
 As bearing on the daylight saving matter, and as proving that 1t is diff fcult to find something new under the sun, the municipal authorities of Hart ford, Conn, have found among their records that a general town meeting in Hartford, October 24, 1643, voted that there should be a bell rung by the watch every morning an hour be- fore daybreak, "and that they who are appointed by the constable for that purpose shall begin at the bridge and so ring the bell all the way forth and back. Master Moody (WylIshill) to John Pretts and that they shall be in every house one up and some lights within One-quarter of an hour after the end of the bell ringing, if they can, or else then to be up with lights afore- mentioned half an hour before day. light, and for default herein Is to for felt 1 shilling; pence to be to him that finds him faulty and pence to the town"

Russian Ballots Power
Of Drawing i'm London

"Despite the tropical weather the Rus
slams Ballet continues to draw large au-
diences at the Princess Theater," &C.
cording. to The Westminster Gazette,
"and any entertainment which can say
as much, must certainly have a strong
held upon the publics affection.
"The most recent addition to the sea-
sons repertory has been Stravinsky's
"L'Oiseau de Ecu" This was always
one of the most sumptuous productions
Of the company in the spectacular sense,
and it makes, as before, brave show,
though the restricted stage of the
Princess Theater naturally limits the eff
fectiveness Of the production to some
extent. And this is the more unfortu-
nate since spectacle and music constitute
almost the sole attractions of this work,
seeing that it is quite impossible to af-
feet any sort of interest in the story or
the action as such.
However, Nine. Lopokova makes a
fascinating agile and attractive repre-
sentative of the Fire Bird, while
Nine. Tchernicheva and M. Pierre
Wladimirof, as the Prince and
Princess, and M. Cecchetti as the
wicked magician complete fine cast,
ard their efforts certainly secured
plenty of favor for the work. which
was received with enthusiasm, the
composer and all concerned being
called again and again at the close.
but such demonstrations have be-
come almost a matter of course of late
whenever anything of Stravinsky has
been produced, thanks to the ardor of
his partisans, and pleasant as it is to
witness such whole hearted manifesto
tons, they are not TO be taken too Sc
riously as an indication of the views
of the general public. Otherwise one
would hardly have witnessed, one may
suppose, the disappearance from the
bills of sLe Sacre du Printemps' af-
ter only two or three performances, in
which connection, too, it may be no.
t;ced that the proposed production of
the still later 'Reynard' has apparently
also been abandoned"

A New Book on
The Modern Woodcut

A new book which has just been
published on the modern woodcut is
called "ExLibris and Marks" and was
written and illustrated with reproduc-
tions of woodblock prints by Ludovic
Rodo. In the Introduction, written by
Frank Brangwyn, occurs the following:
Now the woodcut is coming into IT'S
own again and the gravers Of to-day
are bringing to this oldest of the
graphic arts feeling that was largely
absent from the earlier productions"
lie regrets, however, that some Of our
present-day artists tend to disfigure
their medium to achieve extraneous
results. "Whatever may be said for
the qualities of delicacy and softness
in drawing and design" he continues,
"they are not at any rate the qualities
which best suit the woodcut." The
prints reproduced in the Rode volume
appear in complete sympathy wish this
expressed standard. Thirty of them
are shown, being bookplates and other
small subjects. The artist is
Frenchman.
