IN QUEST OF BEAUTY

Distinction to the rare; 10 the COM
monplace, neglect. That is not an old
saying. 1t is merely digest of natural
tendencies in all fields wherein man and
mans works are the chief elements.
What, then, is the conclusion to be
drawn from the present-day widespread
search for beauty? In nearly every state
in the Union beauty contests" have been
held, are being held or are in prospect.
In some states there have been many
such competitions during the last few
months. Prizes are offered, and there
are many candidates. Girls and women
who are adjudged most beautiful are
given wide publicity; photographs Of
them are reproduced in the public prints
from coast to coast, from boundary line
to boundary line.
What does it all mcan--or does it
mean anything? Has the country just
developed the ability to appreciate beau-
ty, or has beauty become so rare that
everybody is seeking it? Moreover, if
it is SO commonplace as the large num-
Der of beauty-contest winners might be
thought to indicate, then where is the
distinction?
One might say-in fact, prominent
protrait painter has said-that natural
beauty is far less frequently encountered
nowadays than it was when mans mode
of life was comparatively simpler The
artist went further than that, however,
declaring that he had been unable to
find single truly beautiful model Just
what his standard may be is question
which he failed to answer. One might
wonder where he got his idea OF beauty,
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-04-24

if he has never seen woman whom he
regarded as truly beautiful.
But to make that criticism of the COM
planning artist would be to display igno-
rance of the very basis of art, which is
Nature. Mans admiration for the beau-
tiful in either animate or inanimate form
is tribute to Nature. Nothing is artis-
tic which runs counter to natural ten
denotes. And what are the natural ten
denotes for human beings which make
for comeliness?
Within certain limitations the mani
festations and expressions of Nature can
be initiated; further attempts are but
travesties. There are definite laws
of life which cannot be violated without
i'll effect to the violator But what has
all this to do with beauty contests?
Perhaps the most practical answer to
that question could be given by contest
winners whose beauty is of the natural,
or true, variety. In many cases the
temptation to commercializc beauty pre-
sents itself: The winner OF contest
uses this or that cosmetic; others should
use it and become as beautiful as she.
But among the hundreds OF contest win
ners who have divulged the secret OF
their charming .pulchritudc, at least one
has refused to point royal road to beau
ty. She developed her good looks, she
has announced, by doing useful work.
Drudgery? No. Nature prescribes
moderation in all things. Healthful ex-
crcise, rather than an idle existence
fresh air; cheerful disposition, with a
wholesome outlook upon life-these,
rather than artificialtics, sheer limitations
of Natures manifestations, constitute the
sovereign formula which at least one
beauty contest winner has used and rec
onmcnds. Doubtless there are others
who nave pursued the same course, and
have thus attained the maximum degree
of beauty attainablc for them. If such
beauty as theirs is rare, it is not because
anybody has a monopoly of Natures
formula.

KUBLA KHAN.

In Xsnadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree;
Where Alph. the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless TO man
Down to sunless sea.
SO twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers girded round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills.
Where blossomed many an incense bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient the hills
Unfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But o! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover.
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As Ger beneath a waning moon was haunted
by woman waGng for her demOn-lover.
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil
As il this Earth in fast thick pants were
breathing.
A mighty fountain momently was forced
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaultcd like rebounding hail.
Or chaffy grain beneath the threshers fail
And mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a may motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran.
Then reached the caverns measureless TO man,
And sank in tumult to lifeess ocean:
And mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war.
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway the waves;
Where heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
1t was a MIRACLE of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves OF ice!
wamsel with dulcmer
In vision once saw:
1t was an Abyssnan maid
And on her ducimer she played,
Singing Of Mount Abora
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song.
To such deep delight 'twoud win me
That with music loud and long.
would build that dome in air.
That sunny dome. those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there
And all should cry. Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes. his floating hair!
Weave n circle round him thrice.
And close your eyes with holy dread
For he honey-dew hath fed.
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

MARTYRS IN RUSSIA

A dispatch from Moscow reports that
on the eve Of the trial of'the Most Rev.
DR.. Tikhon, former patriarch of all Rus-
STA, the Soviet press made much of a
confession" alleged to have been wrung
from him. If the truth were told, most
likely the confession" would be al
together different from what the term
implies. Doubtless it would be an avow-
al of faith in principles which the Boil
sheviki are trying to destroy, and con-
dcmnation of the "red" regime.
For the Christians Of Russia have not
been cowed by the bolshevist butchers.
Their prototypes, the early believers who
were thrown to the lions in Roman
arenas. perhaps never suffered more
fiendish treatment than that which has
been accorded men and women in Rus
STA who persist in teaching the Chris
tan religion. And if recent accounts OF
conditions in Russia are true, the spirit
which animated the martyrs of the early
Christian era has not persisted from the
earth.
In one of those accounts it is reported
that Christians in Russia are worship
ing in secret, as did their prototypes in
the Catacombs. 1t is not surprising For
the Russians are an earnest, determined
people. If the communists are persis-
tent-and their tcnacity in the face Of
natural odds cannot but be recognized
one cannot but believe that they have
met more than their match in the thou
sands of Jealous Christians of their own
race whom no threat of death can turn
from the faith that is in them.
Nor would it be surprising il history
should assign the prosecution of Chris
tians in Russia as the immediate cause
Of the Soviet governments downfall.
Without comparing or contrasting the
qualities which define Chris
tianity and bolshevism. even a disip-
tcrestcd observer-if there should be
such a person could not but anticipate
the ultimate victory of the former. The
Christian religion through countless ages
has been one of the vital safeguards OF
civilization, and anybody who undertakes
to destroy it is pursuing suicidal
A government that cannot live
at peace with the Christian faith and
Christian institutions betrays by that
very inability an inherent fatal defect.
Before the Soviet government began
to execute Christians, opposition TO it
was not organized. 1t lacked definite
leadership. Each individual had a griev-
ancc all his own, different from the
specific grievances of his neighbors, al
though all wrongs were due to the same
general cause.
But now the opponents OF bolshevism
have in common great cause.-the right
TIC worship the Almighty as only their
dictate-an'. the outcome o.
the struggle, if the Soviet government
continues its prosecutions, will be but
repetition of history.

father, if 1 were dead" said the girl
graYely.
For a long time Father Hillaire
looked out along the land, his fingers
tapping the worn top of the table.
Then he sighed again and shook
his silver head.
"Ah. WELL" he murmured, "per-
haps It's just as well. As / said once
before-it' is in higher Hands than
mine"
"Eh?' queried Val.
"I-was only testing your loyalty,
dear child. / meant nothing"
And then, one day n little later,
Velantrie rode into the garden on
the good white horse-and he was
doubly answered, for the look that
leaped into Val lannon's face was
the eight that never was on land or
sea-" and she rose from her chair
and went to meet the stranger as
helplessly as the needle to the steel.
The man dropped from his saddle
to strike n palm to hers-and for
once in their friendship with him
they had both forgotten the padre
of Refugio.
priest saw two things instantly-the
JOY of Val, the dawning struggle of
the man.
Father" said yelantrie. straight
ly, II am in deep waters"
Eyes, my son."
81 merely turn my eyes to the fair
shores for a fleeting comfort-ere /
drift out to sea, beyond all hope"
There was a desperate longing in
the words, a depth and usefulness,
that gripped the old mans heart.
He turned from them without a
word, pacing the far end of the gar
den with his hands behind his back
and his rosary swinging at his knee.
Val Harmon listened to this mystic
speech open-lipped, for she did not
understand. Then Valentine took
her hand for a moment and smiled
down at her-and it was as if she
had known him always.
He kept the speech to the common
place. the pleasant badinagc of
friends, and talked of far places and
distant towns-but nothing on earth
could have silenced his blue eyes, nor
the tell-tale tightening of his
lips from time to time when their
smile became too soft.
Valantrie was a man who mastered
self, and he meant TO do just as he
had told the father-look for a short
time-he meant to make it short
perhaps a trip or two more-at the
fair green shores before he drifted
out for good and all.

PADDY'S CONTENT.

Paddy McShane had shoes to his feet
Sorra a shoe .-divil a shoe!
And his houghs they looked red as he tramped in
the street,
Och wrrahoo.
But he said: rs it shoes that ye'd stick on me

How'd me feet feel the ground, sorra one of ye
knows:
And who'd pay for mendn' en-, do you suppose:

Ooch, think Of that!

ALMOST BUSINESS-LIKE

So consistently has the state govern
ment conducted the financial affairs of
Texas in an unbusinesslike way that the
present administration, particularly, has
seemed incapable of adopting or prac-
ticing any rule save that negative one.
The effect has been as though the gov
eminent, including the Legislature, was
committed irrevocably to a hit-or-niss
procedure in financial matters.
Now comes an apparent exception to
that rule. A member of the House of
Representatives, J. f. Quad, has made
"a study of the situation and submitted
report thereon to the speaker of that
body. The report contains figures on
income and outgo. 1t shows how much
has been appropriated, how much the
states income may reasonably be eX-
pected to amount to for the period for
which the present Legislature can make
appropriations, includes the "miscel-
laneous and emergency appropriations
to be made by the called session Of the
'Thirty-eighth Legislature" notes the es-
innate and recommendation Of the
Board of Control, and makes a liberal
allowance for miscellaneous and emer-
gency expenses" and takes account of
the existing deficit.
+, The totals, as given by Representative
Quad, are as follows:
Income Observation-Disclosures. S37 ,260 600
OF the income, $1,2600OO, it is es-
tinated will be produced by the sulphur
tax law enacted by the Legislature dur
ing the regular session.
According. to Representative Ouaids
figures, ut will be readily seen that the
present revenue will take care of ap-
preparations, provided, first land pro-
vided, further :"
What arc the provisos? Representa-
tive Quad does not make the situation
quite clear to the layman. He says,
literally that no additional revenue will
be needed, provided, first, that the
Legislature accept the totals of appro-
priations as submitted by the Board of
Control, and provided, further, that the
Legislature appropriate no further
moneys for any purpose whatsoever
duiiiS tlIS SPSNldl ScSSlOllS U Ille IeSlS-
lature."
He attempts to explain, thus:
! "This rs equivalent to saying that if
certain customary appropriations for
schools are to be made, and if we are
TO take care of some OF our new insti-
buttons, then, and i'll that event, we will
be forced to raise additional revenue"
What is not clear to the layman is
whether certain customary appropria-
lions for schools" and appropriations to
take care of some of our new institute
| tions," are included in the total of ex-
l,nses listed by Mr.. Quaid-a tota, of
366,75O.
n phraseology and general logic Of
srt are such as to invite the as
-. that those two items are in
lin the total. An item referred
the first proviso is so included
| { Board of Controls estimate. There
lore it seems logical to assume that "no
further moneys" as used in the eecond
proviso, means no appropriations in adj
dition to those which make UP the to-
tai of 37,366,750
But such assumptions are incorrect.
The total of expenses docs not include
feertain customary appropriat tons for
u
