BLACKSMITH'S SON TO WED
 SOCIETY GIRL

Chicago, June 12- Grotesqueness characterizes the drawings and sculp- ture of Stanislaw Szukalski, the Polish blacksmith's son who is to Helen Walker, daughter of Dr. Sam uel T. Walker, MT. Szukalski depicts conscience, for example, as monster of writhfng tentacles and myriad eyes.s His Angel of Rebellion" is more attractive; the angels features are not unlike those in a portrait he has made of himself. although tn lat tr shows a initiative youth rather than a. spirit of revolt.
 MT. Szukalski's technique, particu- larly his treatment of line. suggests the Japanese; his imaginative inten- sity seems mediaeval; Rodin's inf1u- ence might be suspected in the dis torted anatomy of his sculpture; Aubrey Beardsley is suggested by the grotesque and sometimes satirical nature of his drawings In the occa- sional lack of obvious relation be- tween form and title, and in the a.p- parent spirit of revolt. his work has omething in common with the ex- treme modern schools.
 The conscience in his picture. Man and His Conscience" is at once like an octopus, a. gnarled, branching tree. a nightmare and a worm. It is like Q worm, however, only in form; it does not crawl, but is rampant in mid-air. Two of it's tentacles are crOOkeQ Ike human ringers, Wllu glaring eyes bestudding their tips and knuckles. and point accusingly at Man" Eyes are scattered plenti- fully over it's entire visible body. Man has a sour, wrinkled visage, prin, set lips and furtive eyes.
 MT. Szukalski's 'fMedusa" differs from the classic Medusa surprisingly in her lack of snakes that usually adorn her head. One would have ex- pected Mr. Szukalski to make the most of the snakes, but his concep- tton is uncanny enough without them. Perhaps he scorned them because they were traditional and had been used before; perhaps he wanted to show his power to create a snaky sensation without actually painting snakes.
 The brows of '"The Angel of Re- belhon'' swirl into a. massive Scow1 which is austere and earnest rather than surly or repulsive- "Men Going to Church. are represented by a cur ious strutting bird. Man Following His Principles" is a mystical picture wherein a man seems to be dragged down by a heavy beam which hangs from his neck. Lilies SprOut from the beam. but he ca1not see them.

that was when Bells husband was captured. She went to the Southern camp and, although officers there tried to get her to come home, she wouldn't do it without hr husband, and, being persistent, she finally got him. Well, the war ended and our husbands came back, and we all went together to California, but Bell and I still argued about the war. That was the only thing we did argue about. Our husbands said they wished there never had been any war, if it was going to result in such a long quar- rel, but what could we do? We're from Maine, and neither of us would give in.
 During the Spanish-American and the World Wars we almost had peace, but something would always come along to start the fuss. Then a few days ago Bell and I were out in the yard making kettle of lard. We always worked together.
 Bell I said. T believe we're get ting old Yes, Mae,' she said; T sup pose we are getting along How long ago did this here Civil War beg1n| l asked. Just tell me that. and Bell added a minute or two and said: S1Xty-one years ago. Seems 70 me that you and I have said about all there is to say about that war I declared. Doesn't make any differ ence if We are from New England.

Life's too short to worry over some thing that happened that long ago. I want to take things quietly from now on, and besides the papers say there ain't going to be any more war If you'll stop and not mention the war again, I'll do the same I think you're part right anyway
 Well, Bell looked at me kinda funny and smiled, and said: Why, Mae, I've been wanting to stop talk ing about that blamed war all these years, but I just hated to give in One side was about as right as the other anyway. and I'll quit if you'll quit. There's nothing in war any way
 50 that's how it happened, and we're happier than we have been since 1861, and we don't care any thing about the old war now, do we Bell?' and she turned to her twin for confirmation. Bell smiled a wrinkly but kindly smile.
 I've certainly don't" she said, and picked up her sewing.

 Tnnx-

London, June S- Europe rebuilt by Europe'S standing armies-this is the plan that has been suggested to the League of Nations by Major A. D. Watts, former chief engineer of the Seventh Battalion Canadian Railway Troops and now director of steel corporation in England.
 Major Watts declares that the standing armies of Europe are vast ing a tremendous energy in maneu- vers and drills and that if these armies were given the constructive task of rebuilding war-torn Europe the economical loss could be almost wiped out.
 T cannot see disarmament ap- preaching" Major Watts said. ''The European nations must maintain why should not those armies be used to increase the national wealth in- stead of being a burden?
 Tt would not interfere with indus try. because work on ports. harbors and forests that would be under taken is work that no one else can afford to do.
 Take the case of France Her ports are in wretched state. the terminal facilities on her railway are bad, and there is room for great development hydro-e1ectric power.
 There is no reason, too, why her potash deposits would not be better
 Major Watts does not believe the military value of the standing armies would be lessened by their being used for constructive purposes, and he proposes that all troops shall have at least two months of intensive military training each year
 The armies would develop a higi, technical efficiency by undertaking reconstruction work. Major Watts declared, and he pointed out that the World War was really an en- gineers' war and per cent. of the time of the armies was spent in en- gineering projects
 The. plan. which has been submit ted to the League of Nations by Major Watts, provides that the va rious nations shall finance such pub-

GOssips Speculate As To Who
 Will Wed Megan Lloyd George
BY EDNA HUBER CHURCH. International News Service Staff Co

respondent
 London, June 12-Now that the Princess Mary VfScountess LascelIes has entered the ranks of the married folk the romanticists of London are turning their attention to Miss Megan Lloyd George, daughter of the Prime Minister.
 Of course. all England likes to talk about the probable marriages Of the several princes, but there is a great deal more interest in chatter and gos- sip concerning the matrimonial pos abilities of a girl, and that is why Miss Megan is the centre of discus, sion.
 Sir Philip Sassoon, one of Eng1and's Wealth1est young men, is mentioned most frequently as the likeliest can didate for the hand of the cherubic little Megan. This probably is because Sir Philip is a very close friend of the Lloyd George family and, as sec retary to the Premier is seen most frequently with Miss Megan at social functions acting as her escort in the family party of the Prime Minister and Dame Lloyd George.
 Member of Old Family.
 Sir Philip is descended from an ancient Eastern family and, accord ing to rumor. his ancestors, who were Parsees, have decreed that if any de- scendant of the line marries out of the faith his or her rights to inherit the family fortunes will be declared non existent.
 This is a choice morseI for the teacup chatterers," and they all are wondering whether Sir Philip would risk his share in the Sassoon fortunes to win the hand of Miss Megan
 " nile the gossips plot and plan for Miss Megan's matrim onial future she has thoroughly good time. She is a dance addict, if one given to dan eing may be called an addict. Miss Megan frequently graces the floors of the most exclusive London dance clubs.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-06-12

She confesses that she prefers American men as dancing partners, and much to the disgust of some of the young English bloods, she is not at all backward in displaying her preferences when there are Ameri- can dancing men available.
 Wherever she goes Miss Megan has a wonderfully good time. She is just a carefree young miss. Perhaps she isn't beautiful!-perhaps she is a bit plump, and perhaps she isn't alto- gether a divine grace, but she is an attractive little miSs-one of the sort who charms. The ''teacup chatterers' may plan a marriage for her, but it Is fair bet that whoever she mar ries must be a good dancer and Tive wire.''

A LUXURY.
 SAY LAWS OF FRANCE

Paris, June 12-Is a fivver a luxury?
 French law says it is. It demands a "taxe de luxe" of 10 per cent on everything that runs on four wheels and eats gasoline, irrespective of age, race or previous condition of servi- tude.
 M. Maurice AjaIn, deputy, comes to bat for the fivver. He proposes that the Chamber of Deputies suppress the tax on all motor cars of less value than 15,O00 francs (about $1,50O) which, in France, means f1ivvers and their kid.
