 All the great art and literature Of the world has been produced in this belt. When enthusiastic pursuers Of the new come to me and tell me that they have discovered great art in the ruined temples of Tehuantepec or on the banks of the Ubangi, I am not even politely incredulous. The belt includes Egypt, a great part of China, Greece, Italy, France, England and Japan. Fifty-fve degrees are rather beauty.
 Sunlight and Warmth
 The great burgeonings of beauty have taken place in even warmer and more equable ciimes, fin lands where the winter fingers no longer than is neecfuI to brace and invisorate. never long enough to dull-ir Greece and in Italy, in parts of China in which the climate is equable, in equable Ja- pan. A certain physical easiness is necessary to the production Of beauty: the flores Eaost not be stiffened or nurnbed by cold, or actually relaxed by heat. In bodies enjoying this easi ness the shackles of the flesh bind the spirit more loosely: it functions more freely. In those bodies the crea- two imagination enjoys the fullest play and produces its fine and stimu lattng works. Also great deal of sunlight is necessary to the produc- tfon of beauty; sunlight Is the exhila- rating and stimulating ally of warmth
 It is in the warm and sunny lands that you get the sustained effort of the artist. an effort which has lasted over years and produced such master pieces ns the Iliad. the Odyssey, the frieZeS of the Parthenon, the Theban Trilogy, the Inferno, those jade bowls or figures which the artist has wrought to exquisite form by seven or ten years loving toll. There Is no Greek, or Latin, or Italian lyric as beautiful as the finest English lyrics. But set the Paradise Lost against the Odyssey or the Inferno. and it Is not of so sus- tained a level of beauty.
 The Painters
 Set the paintings of the great Ital- fans beside the paintings of the North ern painters and that graciousness which comes of the warmth and sun There is a graciousuess of color and pattern ard idea in paintings by Leon ardo, BotticeIli. and Luini which even Rembrandt lacks; but no ono could say that LeonArde's 'Yirgin of the Rocks or Botticelus Venus Rising from the Sea- are 8 whit less sigrifl = cant than Rembrandt's Might Watch"
 The dsmand of Northern critics for the primitive and the crude, which has been 80 cl5morous and persistent of late years, Is chiefly climatic; their revolt against graciousness and deli cecy is the product of the ruder CIimes of England and Northern EtTl

Alter Family Bible Records to Get
 Licenses

St. Clairsville. O.. Dec. s.-The Ohio Legislature is credited with making the Bible more popular in Belmont county.
 Since the legislators last spring en- acted a law increasing the ages at which pupils may quit school scores of residents, desiring to obtain school certificates, have carried the family Bible to the office of George M. Pogue, county school superintendent, to prove that the party desiring the cer- tificate is old enough to comply with the law.
 A novel reason was presented to Superintendent Pogue why the family Bible could not be procured to prove the age of a boy who desired Ju 4aI, school.
 The father, a negro coal miner, said that, while moving from Kentucky to StewartSville, Belmont county, the family Bible was lost from the wag- on.
 Superintendent Pogue declared that such excuses are frequent. He re- ported that Bible figures have been altered. This assertion was seconded hv Deputy Probate Judge Frank Kerr, who issues marriage licenses. Deputy Kerr, however, has birth reg istrations data in his office which he uses in checking up on doubtful Bible records of birth dates of applicants. The wood of which the Ark was

 In substantiation of this prognosti- : cation Hanson said red-headed wood peckers were cracking acorns and
 storing the kernels in cracks of the bark on trees. This, he believes, in-. dicates that the woodpeckers will stay

MOONSHINER
 BELIEVES IN
 ADVERTISING
(By International News Service

Washington, Dec. 9.-North Caro- lima has a "moonshiner" who believes in advertising his wares. Revenue officers in Ashevi1le recently came across a, bottle bearing a unique label which they sent to Internal Revenue Commissioner Blair, himself a North Carolinian. This label was the ad- vertisement of the moonshiner, and it read as follows:
 Pure noun ain l.orn likker. Bot tied in a barn. Made in the back woods of the mountains of Western North Carolina by an old-tine block ader that don't give a dam for laws and prohibition. Retai1ed on the AshevilIe market by all the high-c1ass bootleggers for five bones per pint and worth every cetn of it. Guaran- teed to be strong enough 10 make you drunk as the devil in ten minUhtes and mean enough to make a baby bull frog spit in a whales face. Shake well and get ready to have a fit before drinking"
 The label has been added to the In- terna1 Revenue Bureaus museum.

Those who live in England know we'll what climate Is; but I had bet ter make clear what mean by beau ty. In common with most of the painters and sculptors and critics of today who have given to the matter their earnest consideration. I refuse to accept such dictionary definitions As that 1t is "a combination of quail ties, such as shape. proportion, color, that delights the sight" or even to accept the stricter metaphysical defin- ition of that most modern philosopher George Santayana:' Beauty Is pleas urs as the quality of a thing" I do not believe that any great artist of any age would accept them. He would deny that pleasure is the only emo ton, the whole emotion, or the really important emotion awakened by thing of beauty.
 Worlds Beauty Belt
 For me, as for all the men and to the matter, a thing of beauty is a fne and significant manifestation of the Life Force which surprises and thrills and stimulates. Always there is the element of surprise in the emo tion. Always it comes as a revelation and a stimulant. If 1t does not, If 1t merely produces pleasure, however charming and delightful 1t may be, I will not call it beautiful.
 The world has its beauty belt The beautiful things have been produced tr lac hA!f yrS@ oh twenty-seven to ffty-fve degrees north of the Equator. Up to now no great work of art has been produced in the corresponding belt south of the Equator; but doubtless there Is still hope for South Australia, the south of South America, and South Africa.
 Even ths most beautiful human be- ings have been born and are born in this belt: all the beautiful women whose names have sweetened the ages -Semiramis, Helen. Cleopatra. Cue nevere, La Gioconda, Ninon de rEn- herself and Ashtaroth were creatures of 1t.
 Others Not So Beautiful
 Doubtless beautiful women are born above and below it-in Scandina via for example. and Southern India But they arc never quite as beautiful as the most beautiful women born in 1t. To take familiar instanoes, the beau- ttful Irish girls are of Southern Ire land; the beautiful Scots come to London young and stay there: the women of the Argentine are more beautiful than the women of Brazil
 If ever there does eorne a great out break of beauty in the United States 1t will be in Florida or California. But in England there are summer days all the year round to relax the spirit: and the lines:

San Francisco, Dec. 9-Postmaster General VIII Hays has 8 rival in his work of "humanizing" a great gov ernmenta1 department.

 It contemplates patching up trou- ble between hubby and wife.
 Here Is Collector Hamiltons rule of procedure:
 'If a, married man or married woman is not doing efficient work look for trouble at home. Then lend hand and help patch up. the trouble The result will be an increase of both happiness and efficiency Hamilton announced his new rule to the 400 married men and women m the customs service following an hours conference in his private office with a married man of his staff the mans wife. a doctor and a minister of the gospel. Couple Leave Smiling Following the interview the mar rtei man went .whistling happily back to his work, his wife went smiling homeland Hamilton stated that he believes the United States will profit by what he did.
 Acoounting for the doctor, Hanil- ton said he had him on hand to ob- serve pathological symptoms. The l minister of the gospel he invited in as a peacemaker.

 But that he has faith in his new i theory Hamilton later made clear when he assembled all of his big staff and told them what he intends to do every time he observes a married man
 or a married woman doing inefficient work. He said:

 To persons residing in the United States or far distant countries the Spanish prisoner asked that money be cabled to one of his friends, prom ising a rich reward when he left jail and pegained his trunk.
 Within a year after the band of swindlers began operations two of them were arrested and deported to the Philippines, then a Spanish pos- session. The following year fifteen mora were arrested, but since 1873, the French police declare. not a, sim gle arrest has been made.
 French victims became so numer- ous that the Minister Of the Interior in 1897 caused public warnings to be issued throughout the country. The French Foreign Office even protested to the Spanish Government at Ma drid, but without avail. The French police now believe that the swind1ers have formed themselves into Q band so rich and influential that they con- trol high Spanish prison and police officials and work without fear.
