CHARACTERS IN THE STORY

in love, from the way you talk"
Mrs. Richards laughed.
Maybe not" he admitted rather
seriously.
Are your Jane was about to
ask married, but as she met his
eyes her nerve failed and she sub
stituted. Are you interested in Nor
man Traverse?'
Not much" he replied indiffer-
emily. Then he stretched up from
the seat and suggested a walk.
May i kidnap your daughter ana
take her to see some pictures in my
COMPARTMENT? Mrs. Richards as
sented.
Jane was rather proud to have
the other passengers see her walk
through the car with this handsome
man. They began conversation in
deep channels.
IT'S a great thing-life" he
mused
I'VE are SO helpless-caught in
the web of IT," Jane reflected.
Not at all! We are given feet
to climb" he said optimistically.
But so many others are climb
ing, and it seems the old story of
the survival of the fttest," Jane
sighed. sinking deep into the seat
opposite him after the porter had
been dispatched for a table.
"Are you thinking about your
stories?" he asked.
Perhaps that-and something
beyond" Jane acknowledged
Have you had much published 49,
Not much-Fm just breaking

You ought to be around with
the real fellows-the ones that are

mended.
But how?" Jane asked hope
lessly.
''How?-Just go to It, Hang

worth a year in college"

DISPOSAL PROBL EMS
(By Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan 2S.-Plans are
being made by the state department of
conservation to determine the volume
of sewage and other waste that is
turned into the water courses of In
diana with a view of solving sewage
and waste disposal problems so as to
prevent stream pollution and public
nuisances.
Richard Lieber, director of the state
department, says that from data now
being sought from city officials that
the department hopes to aid cities
throughout the state in dealing not
only with their disposal problems, but
also with that of water supply. Pre-
liminary information for the depart
ment's use is sought in questionnaires
that have been sent TO all city engi-
neers and town clerks.
Upon receipt of the data department
engineers will compile map showing
the relative pollution of various
streams of the state as indicated by
the sanitary sewage contributed on
each watershed. Maps will also show
the streams of the state as a whole,
and will note their purity or pollution.

ART DEPARTMENT TUESDAY

The second of a series of illustrated
lectures on Italian art of the pre-
Medici period will be given before the
art department of the WOman's club
Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in
the public art gallery. Mrs. Charles
NJ. Woodman is to have a paper on
Rule of the Medici." Mrs. Melville
F. Johnston, the lecturer, will speak
on Giotto and his followers and also
on Masaccio, combining in her talk
the lecture which was postponed last
fall. Her next lecture then will also
be changed slightly, the subject to be
Fra Angelica and Botticelli.
The following resume of the life and
work of Giotto was written by Mildred
CoppOck, a high school student in the
art appreciation course:
"Giotto di Bondone, who was born
in 1876, and the greatest of the Flor
entine painters, painted in the latter
part of the thirteenth and early four
teenth centuries.
Cimabue Finds Child.
''In a legend, which surrounds the
development of his career it is told
how Cimabue, while on the solemn
Tuscan hillside. found the child Giat-
to, among the sheepfOlds drawing the
outline OF one of the sheep on a stone.
The master recognized his talent and
took him from his fathers cottage to
Florence where Cimabue took a great
deal of interest in the boy and taught
him how to mix paints and draw. at
which he spent six years before touch
ing a brush.
What GiattO gave to art above all
things was vitality. His Madonnas
were not symbols of a certain phase
OF pfous awe, but pictures of maternal
love. He chose incidents from real
home life and humanized the myster-
lies of faith and brought them close to
common feeling.
Noted for Grouping
He was ais onoted for his manner
of grouping figures together so as to
make them agreeable to the eve and of
placing his figures in a given space to
give perfect balance
He loved to paint pictures with the
hues of morning and evening and of
all painters, he was most successful
In preserving the cleaness and light
OF pure, well-tempered colors. In his
pictures we can understand the story
he is telling by the gesture and action
of the figures.
There are no ornaments in his
paintings, but he relies on his know
ledge of human nature. He did not

Lift Marrying Restriction
Off Queensland Police

SYDNEY. N. S. w, Jan. 2S-The
police of Queensland should not be
compelled longer to obtain permission
of the authorities to marry, nor should
the character of their prospective
brides be subject to thorough investi-
cation as formerly, the cabinet decid-
ed today.
Ever since the institution OF the
force. permission of the authorities
had been necessary before marriage
and the character of the intended
bride had been scrutinized closely
Long objection to these regulations on
the part of the police eliminated in
call upon the Premier by delegation
from the force. The action of the cab
met followed.
