Alphonse Muclla
His Historical Paintings of the
Slavic Nations


Years ago, when everybody was col
'scttng posters and Sagot's shop in the
Rue Lafayette was kind Of shrine,
the designs Of Alphonse Mucha were
particularly in demand He made q
number of posters for Bernhardt, be-
ginning with "Gismonda" in 1894, and
in a way absolutely his own-for all
that it recalled some Of the character
istics Of stained glass-he became one
of the heroes Of that decorative move
'ment which transformed the hoardings,
the peer Of men like Steinlen and
Cheret. To be decorative seemed to
be his destiny. He produced books of
drawings which have had lively in
fluence upon students Of decorative
art. He had a great vogue as an illus
TRAITOR. But it is an unexpected exhibi-
tion that he is now making at the
Brooklyn Museum. His posters and
drawings are there, handsome, diaboli-
cally clever productions, but the sig
nifcance of the show lies particularly
in group Of colossal paintings, part
Of series Of twenty to be presented
to the city Of Prague by Mr.. Charles Il.
Crane, our Minister to China. We had
lost sight Of Mucha's art for long
time and it is n positive sensation to
come upon it now in this heroic form.
Curiously, however, while it has no
savor Of his old poster days, it revives
in the clearcst possible terms certain
element in the earilcr phase Of his
career.
When Mucha was q young painter he
worked under the influence of Jean

ROsELAWN MEMORIAL PARK.

The Roselawn Memorial Park which
is being laid out on Greenwell Springs
Road about a half mile from the city
limits, promises to be one Of the most
picturesque and beautiful spots in
LouBian.
The modern burial park will feature
the latest methods of landscape ar
chiteoture with beautiful lawns, shrub
berry, winding road ways, flowers and
nothing will be left undone by the
promoters to have this "silent city Of
the dead" a peaceful resting place.
Here the murmer Of the fountain will
ba heard and the mocking bird will
sing it> sweetest song, as the breeze
blows gently upon this sacred spot
There will be nothing morbid about
the Memorial Park.
A beautiful entrance will be one Of
the features Of this artistic place. Al
the further end will be modern cha
pei where funeral ceremonies can be
held. A creek will pass before chapel
spanned by an artistioally designed
bridge and wind about the grounds.
This park is in the hands Of The
American Park Builders, of Chicago
and the officers of this Memorial
Park are among our most substantial
business men, the officers being, A
Grouchy, Jr., G. P. McNeel, J. A
Deoug, C. NJ. Downs. The sales man
ager is Mr.. H. H. Muma with offices

Governors wife who is a member by
courtesy.
As the name Of this club implies
these women are lovers Of history and
cure pledges from business men and
learning, and their study is principal
ly history, though their bi-weekly pro.
grams are enlivened and enriched by
selections from the literature, drama
and art Of the country forming the
Subject Of the years study. For the
past four years Ireland has been the
subject. However, the work of the
club was discontinued for two years
during the war, and its members were
amongst the foremost in Red Cross
activities, so only two years of real
work were devoted to this little coun-
try which is giving the world so much
concern today.
The following subjects have been
studied, which will give the reader
an idea of the earnestness and sinceri-
ty which characterize the work of the
Phl.-storia: Louisiana History, Set
tlement Of Original Thirteen States,
Our Republic, Shakespeare, The Ger
man Empire, The Bible as History
and Litrature, Russia, Modern Rus
sia, Ireland.
The year BOOKS are already out for
next year, "France from the Revolu-
tion to the Present Time," being the
period to be studied.
The following ladies were the first
officers Of the club: President, Miss
Matte B. McGrath; Vice President,
Miss Katherine Hill; Secretary, Mrs.
R. L. Goyer; Treasurer, Mrs. E. L.
Woodside. Since then these we'll
known ladies have served as Presi-
dent Of this mo- excellent organiza-
tion and in every instance the gavel
has sounded for strict parliamentary
law and order. In passing, it may be
interesting to know that this same lit

Many. beautiful memorials enrich
the very churchly appearance of the
interior, Chief among which are the
three Tiffany windows in the chancel
and the hand-carved panels of the
sanctuary made by Rev. Jospeh l.
Tucker while rector of the church.
The need of parish hall to house
the many parochial activities having
become imperative the congregation
purchased a new rectory on Florida
street last year in order that the old
rectory might be used for that pur-
p0se..
Among names appearing in the rec
ords of St. James Church are several
who assisted in wrestling the territory
of West Florida from the King Of
Spain and of the first officers of this
city and parish.
Historically connected with Baton
Rouge also were such citizens as John
Reid, C. R. French, Wright Con-
verse, Geo. Steer, William Wikoff,
Adam Winthrop, who were among the
leading and most patriotic citizens
during the first years of the Ameri-
can regime.
Those priests who have labored for
the spiritual advancement OF the par

St. JAMES CHURCH

A church with a history dating
oack over one hundred years and
with over 1900 membership and rap-
.diy increasing in membership is St.
James Episcopal Church, over which
Kew. Royal K. Tucker at present pre-
sides as priest and rector. Like all
churches OF Baton Rouge during the
early days Of American occupancy St.
James Church had a rsther precari.
Gus existence.
In the year 1919 several citizens Of
Baton Rouge banded together to Sc
cure for themselves and families the
services of the Episcopal Church but
as an ordained priest could not be had
lay leader, a Mr.. Jamison, was en-
listed in the cause and officiated dur
ing some two or three years.
In the year 1920 an act of incor-
poration was granted by the State
legislature under the title of "The
Episcopal Congregation of Baton
Rouge but as services were very ir-
regular the small congregation be-
came discouraged and the charter ex-
pired by limitation and the church as
such ceased for a time.
From 1923 to 184O there were neith-
er priests nor regular ministrations
but during 1940 the Rev. William B.
Lacey, father Of Lawyer Lacey who
perished when the steamer Princess
was destroyed by fire), President of
the Baton Rouge College, held SER
vices in the old court house which has
just been demolished.
In 1910 General Zachary Taylor
came here as commander of the de-
partment Of the South accompanied by
his family where for the. first time
suitable chapel was provided in the
garrison by Mrs. Taylor and from
that time St. James Church has not
been without suitable place Of wor-
ship. On January 20, 1943 Rev. Leon
idas Polk, bishop Of Louisiana, (later
lieutenant-gen in the army of the
Confederacy and killed during the
Sherman campaign near Kennesaw
Mountain) paid an official visit to ad-
minister confirmation to five candi-
dates at which time a parochiel or
ganization was formed and a meeting
called to elect a vestry. A petition
for charter was again granted by|
the legislature under the title of St.
James Church
In 1874 two lots of ground at the
corner of Church and Convention
streets were purchased and the church
building preceding the present one
erected and on April 26, 1916 the first
service was held therein.
During the Civil War services were
temporarily suspended but at the close
the faithful few rallied to bring back
that condition Of material and spirit
ual welfare enjoyed previous to the
fatricidal strife.
When the dove Of peace lowered
over this community once again in
1867, Rev. John Philsen assumed
charge of the parish and from that
date the church has grown steadily in
membership and communicates and at
the same time provided a more COM
modious and handsome church build
ing which stands today a monument

Seeking LOUer
Production Costs

That Michigan farmers are not
willing to go son increasing produc-
ton regardless of cost, in the face of
adverse economic conditions, is. the
opinion of II. b. Killough, farm man
agement specialist at the Michigan
Agricultural College. The big prob
lem of the fhmer is said to be de-
creased production costs through
more efficient management on the
farm.
with agricultural production nor
NAL, industrial production below nor
nal, the purchasing power of the con
sumng public decreased by reason of
unemployment and business losses,
and the price level of agricultural
products where it is, the farmer is not
content to so on increasing production
regardless of COST" says killough,
The demand is now for definite farm
cost accounting and farm manage
ment information
Illustration of the need for cost &C
counting work ON Michigan farnis
was secured recently in records kept
in Wayne County by F. 7. Riddell, re
search specialist at NJ. A. {. Two
dairy farms with investments Of S24,-
600 and $4,000 respectively showed a
marked difference in earning power
The first with high producing COWS
averaging 10000 pounds of milk, was
earning eight and one-half per cen,
on the. invested capital, while the sec
one, with cows averaging 6,OOO
pounds, wes making only two ant
one-half per cent on the investment
Cost accounting work brought out
these facts Of basic Importance.
More than forty cost accounting
schools, scattered over twenty Mich
gan counties, have been scheduled by
the College farm management men foi
