Reds and Art.

The Russian Reds are guilty of much
rough work, but it appears that they
do sometimes know and reverence the
treasures of art. The famous Her
mitage gallery in Petrograd has been
reopened and again all the paintings
it once contained, except few unim-
portant ones, are hung. In this collec-
ton are great masterpieces bearing the
names of Titan, Van Dyck, Rem
brandt, Velasquez ana Murillo. The
Bolshevih removed the paintings to
Moscow in the spring of 1918 when it
was feared the Germans would capture
Petrograd, and the priceless paintings
were placed in the hands of a.commit-
tee at the head of which is the novel
list. Maxim Gorky. Private collections
which the owners turned over to the
Gorky committee are also safe.

HIS "HUNCH" WAS CORRECT
Actors Assertion That Someone in the
Audience Had Bottle Quickly
Proved True.

A peculiar incident happened in a
local theater, which provided enough
comedy to make the performance very
amusing. In one of the acts, prohibit
tion was made the butt of all the ac-
tors jokes, and he happened to be one
of those fellows who makes reference
to the audience.
'Where is that bottle?" he shouted
at the audience. Someone In the
house has a bottle, with the cork off. !"
Hardly had the laughter subsidized
when there was a 'plunk," as a bottle
dropped accidentally from the grasp
of someone down in front. It happened
just at the opportune moment and the
house went into roars of laughter.
Whoever dropped it made no attempt
to reclaim it, even though the bottle
might have contained anything from
milk to medicine. But the M. A. T.
has been told by someone who was
close to the sound that some time after
he saw a woman slowly making an at
tempt to reach for the fallen wei
goods.-Lawrence (Mass) Telegram.

and that God was really not much con-
cerned as to whether man sat In a
pew or rocking chair or a motorcar
on Sunday, he was, probably, quite
right. Really, It was a matter much
more important to Mr.. Bing and his
neighbors than to God. Indeed, 1t is
not at all likely that the ruler of the
universe was worrying much about
them. But when J. Patterson Bing de-
cided In favor Of fun and fresh air, R.

sion, and r. Purdy was a man of COM
handing influence in his own home.
His daughters, Mabel and Gladys, and
his son, Richard, Jr., would not have
been surprised to see him elected
President OF the United States, some
day, believing that the honor was only
for the truly great. Soon Mrs. Purdy
stood alone-a hopeless minority of
one-in the household. BY much
pleading and nagging, she kept the
children In the fold of the church for
time but, by and BY. grew weary of
the effort. She was converted by nerv-

The Prodigal Village
By Irving Bachelor
asM&anv ngBGAM
By Irving Bachelor

New leaks were Forthcoming, but
Hiram BlenkinsOp conceived the no
ton of stopping them with poultices
Of white lead and bandages Of canvas
bound with fine wire. They dripped
and many of the pipes of Bingville
looked as If they were suffering from
sprained ankles and sore threats, but
Hiram had prevented another deluge.
The price of coal had driven the
people of Bingville back to the woods
for fuel. The old wood stoves had
been cleaned and set up In the sitting
rooms and kitchens. The saving had
been considerable. Now. so many men
were putting in their time on the
house and grounds Of j. Patterson
Bing and the new factory at Millerton
that the local wood dealer found it
impossible to get the help he needed.
Not twenty-five per cent of the orders
on his books could be filed.
Mr.. Bing's house was finished in DC
tober. Then Snodgrass announced
that he was going to take 1t
easy, as became man of his opu-
lence. He had bought a farm and
would only work three days week at
his trade. Sneed had also bought a
farm and acquired a feeling of opu-
lence. He was going to work when
he felt like 1t. Before he tackled any
leaking pipes he proposed to make a
few leaks in the deer up In the Adlron-
dacks. So the roofs and the plumbing
had to wait.
Meanwhile, Bingville was in sore
trouble. The ancient roof of it's re-
spectability had begun to leak. The
beams and rafters in the house of it's
spirit we're rotting away. Many of
the inhabitants Of the latter regarded
the great j. Patterson Bing with a
kind Of awe-like that of the Shep-
herd of the Birds. He was the leading
citizen. He had done things. When
j. Patterson Bling decided that rest or
fresh air was better for him than bad
music and dull prayers and sermons.

Synopsis.-In the village of Bing-
Vile thirteen-year-old Robert EN-
met Moran, crippled son of poor
widow, liz known as the Shepherd
of the Birds. His world is his
mother and friends. his little room,
the flower garden Of Judge Croker,
and every flying thing he sees from
his window. The painting OF pic
lures IL his enjoyment, and little
Pauline Baker, small daughter of
a neighbor, the object of his boyish
affection, To him, y. Patterson
Bing. the first citizen of Bingville,
is the ideal of a really great man.
The village becomes money mad,
rejecting the great world in it's
state of unrest. The Bing family
Is a leader in the change. To them
the village has become ''provin-
cial." The butcher and baker and
andlestick-maker all raise their
prices. Even Hiram BIenkinsop,
the town drunkard, works hard for
a month. The Old Spirit of Bing-
vile Is summarily fred. The first
citizen builds an addition to his
mansion.

officer: "The Philippines are there
for Japan whenever she likes to take
them, and nothing can prevent her
from seizing them when she feels dis
posed to do so. AS at present circum-
stAnced, we could do nothing whatever
TO protect them in time OF war"
The British naval critic concurs in
this view. He says: "It is certain, al
any rate, that the invasion of the Phil
ippines would present no. serious diff
Guilty to Japan. Her southernmost
naval bases are less than 1900 to l..
750 miles distant from the islands. Ex-
cellent landing places abound both in
Luzon and in Mindanao; the shore de.
fences are either insignificant or non
existent, and the small garrison Of
trained troops could offer only the
feeblest resistance to a landing un.
dertaken simultaneously at ditferen,
points"
This conclusion ignores, Of course,
the possibilities Of airplane defense
against hostile warships and trans
ports. But so far no adequate air
force has. been developed in the Philip
pines. The only alternative defense is
one by naval force. Mr.. Bywater says i:

If from the naval point Of view the
Philippines cannot we'll be defended
in Philippine waters, is there another
base from which they can be defended ?
Mr.. Bywater holds that there is. He
says:
But for one factor the fate Of the

foregone conclusion. That factor is

British interests in the sIediterra-

really adequate system of communica.
tion between cities, the religious dif.
ferences seem ineradicable.
