Electrical Rubbing

A MOTOR-OPERATED rubbing ma :
~ chine for wood surface finishing
has been developed by an American
concern. The device is operated by
fractional horse motor,
which moves the rubbing blocks to-
gether and apart at an even speed.
The speed is governed by a regu-
lator which can be varied according
to the class of work to be done. The
machine is inclosed in a dust-p proof
aluminium case and weighs about
thirty-five pounds. and, while this
weight gives sufficient pressure for
ordinary purposes. additional pres
sures can be applied by the operator
if it is desired. The device is used
for rubbing surfaces fifteen inches
in length and of practically any
width.

Technique is secondary matter.
That art which reflects the soul is
good art and discovers its own tech
niaue. Any painting made without
reverence for God has no place in this
world. 1t cannot be good. But if it
is produced as 7 have described, then
it is universal Such art needs no
school. The soul of the artist is the
same today as 1000 years ago. when
artists knew this principle and paint
ed from it. as in Egypt. All that l
say can be found in little fragment
from Pompeii. Style. subject. color
may change. but the essential basis is
the same

countries and found this principle
universal ] was amazed. Then l be-
came aware that each nation has its
own special style. which should not
be changed. Conglomeration should
he avoided, l means mixing up styles
and borrowing. from other countries
The right method is to develop the
individual excellence of each country
to it's height. And I am here to con-
fer with people who are interested in
this matter. How can the art of each
country Keep it's individuality with
out harm from the art of other peo-
pies? Borrowing can only hurt be-
cause it is merely mannerisms or
faults that can be borrowed. No ma
ton can borrow another nations
soul. But if one country succeeds in
doing what it should. in developing
its own art. Individual in form but
, universal in meaning, it would bene-
fit all nations. If the art of coun-
try is we'll nourished there is an in
crease in the prosperity and welfare
of each individual in that country.
There is something that neither let
ters nor words can teach. That some
thing that touches and influences our
souls is art.
Today all the emphasis is placed on
execution. And because Of this su-
perfcial standard our countrymen
have often adopted what you have
abandoned. or consider faults. There
are too many schools of art They
have not the cardinal principle. And
it would be good If the artist should

 Collin s Death

The occurrences which transpired during the 'orgy'' staged at the home of John Burns, 122 Pembroke street, yesterday, in which 1t is alleged Fred Sigler, Joseph Collins and his wife, Elizabeth, 40 years old of 59 Cali fornia street. participated and during which Mrs. Collins was found dead in bed, will be aired before Coroner John J. Phelan today at 2:30 D. m. Whether an autopsy will be perform ed or not depends entirely on the testimony offered by the men who are expected to be sobered today, and in condition that might enable them to shed some light on the death of Mrs. Collins.
 From external appearances Medical Examiner Samuel Garlick said today there are no signs of any foul play. The woman was lying on the bed, her clothes in an orderly manner. It is thought that she might have become poisoned from the amount and quality of the liquor she drank. Alex Zatow ski of 295 Waterview avenue, the man from whom it is alleged they pur chased the liquor Is being held by the police under bonds of $1N00 until Saturday when his case will come to trial.

P-CHINA ROW ON SHANTUNG
 PROPERTY
Japanese Demand for Finest Building for Consulate Called Preposterous.
By THOMAS MEELOY, International News Service Staff


 Peking, Nov. 7-Bitter controversy has arisen between the Chinese and Japanese committees for the return of public property in Shantung. The Chinese aiIege that the Japanese de- mandS are tpreposterouS and refuse to yield further. The question of the dispute is the provision of the Shan tung Treaty, section 2, in which the Japanese reserve the right to retain sufficient buildings for their consulate and such additional ones as are Ire quired of the Japanese community, including public schools, shrnes and hospitals"
 For the consulate the Japanese have demanded the former residence of the Tsingtao Governor, which is consld- cred the finest building in the city. They also want the courthouse for their consular courts, a special resi- dence for the Consul and for each Of the three Vice-ConSulS and adequate housing for the two under-Consuls. dozen or more clerks, fifty police and special quarters for the police oiTclals The Chinese say that there never was a consulate in the history of China which occupied a fourth of this terri tory and that the property dema nd ed runs to millions of dollars. Be sides, they assert that the former Gov erpment mansion must be occupied by the Chinese Governor, and they have offered the former Posts and Tele- graphs Building in its place
 The Japanese reply that their con sulate in Tsingtao is something apart from other consu1ates and must over shadow others, so that the dignity of the Japanese Empire may be nam tained. They also allege that the Posts and Telegraphs Building had already been promised by them for Great Britain and that the Chinese should not embarrass them now by refusing.
 In the matter of shrines and cene- teries the Chinese insist on limiting the areas to those actually in use and not including the lands about then' which are in some cases gardens, resi- dences and storeh ouses- The total Japanese claim is said to be in excess of fifty acres.
 Still a further controversy has afls- en over the matter of hospitals There are three hospitals in all-the former German hospital, a general hospltal and a maternity home. The nrst IS by far the best, and the Chinese nave offered to concede the other two. But the Japanese also want 1t and point with pride to the fact that the equlp- ment is now all Japanese and must in any case be purchased by China.
 The former German equipment, both of this hospital and of several other of the public works, has been taken away by the Japanese ana theFr own substituted. China demands that the German property be restored Japan says it belongs to her oy virtue of the "spoi1s of war" and IS met py inc argument that these spo1ls or war; are limited by the Treaty or Versailles to thirty million dollars, ana this China is paying.
