By EDWARD THIERRY |,

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-The classic Venus de Milo no longer is the stan dard of feminine beauty. Not in America, anyway.
 Venus is much too fat! And too shortl
 W. T. Benda, famous artist and illustrator-who draws those ravish- ing magazine cover girls-throws this bombshell.
 "The elongated woman is the beauty of today in America" says Benda. "Her face and features and figure are long and narrow.
 "Venus would not look well in modern clothes strolling down Fifth avenue. American women do not want to be so plump. The standard of today is several inches taller than Venus and slender. Elongated is the word"
 Heresy? Not bit, says Benda. This in spite of the fact that four sculptors, an art critic and an anthro- pologist recently gave the beauty prize in a New York physical culture show to Miss Dorothy Knapp because they said her measurements-of hip and thigh, neck and calf, head to heel more nearly approximated what was called the American Venus" than any other entrant.
 This beauty award has resulted in S100,0OO suit brought by Miss Ann Hyatt, who claims her form more nearly parallels Venus-differing only in one-half inch more around the hips
 "It is not necessarily what I think, says Benda, cautiously. "It is the

popular taste. Art mirrors this taste. Art may precede these changing stan dards and perhaps help to establish them, but the artist who wishes to be popular must depict woman as she wishes to be and as her countrymen wish her to be-"
 Venus classic lines haven't been scrapped everywhere, however.
 Tastes in women differ" Benda smiled. "The FTenchman and the. Italian prefer the plumpness of Venus So, too, the Greek. To Turks and Persians a woman must be quite fat to be beautiful. While the slav would have woman plump, he would have her hair light

something more than mere material ism in this. When I looked up and saw your skyscrapers piercing the sky, there was something in them be- sides mere glorified business. There was soul, there was poetry, there was vision in those soaring structures often with a beauty all their own.
 America, nation of over one hundred million, may produce the i'm mortal art of tomorrow. It would be fine to have a part in that. There that is the dream I am taking with me to America as part of my lug gage.'

According to the Independence Ex-

claims to have the only tripoli factory
in the world and that 1t is a flourish

that region, and the factory grinds it
up and makes commercial products

What Manson said

In testimony given before the SEN
ate committee on commerce, Mr.. Man
son said
"I say to you that the only thing
subsidies will do will be TO transfer
from the public treasury to the pock-
cts OF few favored steamship men,
some OF whom have appeared before
the committee, large sums OF taxpay-
ers money and, what is worse, 1t will
perpetuate the graft and incompetence
which is now the real reason for our
failure TO have an American merchant
marine"
Payment OF subsidies TO private cor
porations for operating ships would
commit the taxpayers to a costly pro-
gram of indefinite continuance, Sena-
tor Fletcher said. He dissented from
the views of President Harding and
Chairman Iasker, who propose sub
yentions as the only sure means Of up
building an American merchant ma.

Tor injuries he received in an auto.
mobile accident on June IL. Mr.. Da-
Wis carries liability policy from the
National Surety Co. taken out in con-
nectlon with a subscription for the
kennebec Journal
The accident which resulted in his
injuries, was peculiar one. Mr..
DAVIS late in the afternoon of June
II, had just driven his truck over
the kennebec bridge and started to
turn down the driveway leading to
the rear Of the Cogan store. A big
wagon with pair of horses was
coming UP. Mr.. Davis iammed the
brake with his foot, but his foot slim
ped from the pedal to the accelerator
and the truck headed for the horses.
Acting quickly, Mr. Davis turned
the steering wheel and headed the
truck for the Cogan store house. It
struck the frame of the door, damag-
ed the truck. smashed the woodwork
or the building and pinned the driver
against his seat. He was so badly
injured that he was confined to the
house for two weeks.
The check for $40. representing two
weeks sick payments under the
Journal policy. came through in
quick time. 1t is hardly necessary to
io;o
pleased at the prompt response as
we'll as gratified to think he had one
of the Journal liability policies.
