MASTERPIECE OF GREEK ART
Bronze Mirror Made Centuries Before
Christ Added TO Collection In
British Museum.

A Grecian bronze mirror, 2,400 years
old, has been added to the British
museums collection Of Greek antiqui-
ties. Its age has been deduced from
a comparison with other early Greek
bronzes found In the Acropolis excava-
tions. According to bulletin Of the
Copper and Brass association, the mir
ror dates from earlier than 470 B, q
It measures seven inches In diam
eter across the disk, which is plain,
except for an egg-and-tongue mold
ing and beading around the delicate
ly-worked edge. Marvelously well pre-
served, 1t bears witness to the great
ness Of the ancient Greek metal work.
ers, as indeed to the enduring quail
ties Of the material In which they
wrought. The disk rests on base
forming an arc Of a circle, with a
''voluted palmetto In the center support
ing 1t. Below are the figures Of q
winged youth and winged maiden,
springing apart, one on either side, as
though for flight from central lotus
flower. Under the flower is spike
which was probably fxed originally
In some kind Of pedestal, as the
whole work seems too large and heavy
to have been used as a hand-mirror.
! The figures themselves are nodded
In the round, but the rest Of the group
is in fat relief. The girl, whose fig
ure is draped, Is shown holding fold
Of her skirt, while the boy, who IL
nude, carries q wreath. 1t Is believed
that they represent Agon (Contest)
and Nike (Victory).
The earlier bronzes found In the
Acropolis excavations allowed less free
dom to the forms. The new statue
Is, in fact. later modification Of the
'kneeling run" pose, as the feet OF
the figures are brought closer together
than had been the former custom OF
the bronze metal workers.

Among the wards of the Pulitzer
prizes for 1922 was a gold medal to
The Commercial Appeal (white) of
Memphis, Tenn, for its courageous
attack upon the Ku Klux Klan in a
district where the Klan Is powerful.
This, perhaps, is the most coveted of
the various prizes given by the Pull

So. What were the first colored
regiments organized for service In
the Civil War?
The first colored regiments to be
organized were the First South Caro-

were made May 9th, 1862; the First
Louisiana Native Guards. September
27th, 1862; the Fifty-fourth Massa-

Second Carolina Volunteers. Febru-
