Work Of Arehltsets q the rwsIfth
Century stand ~ Challenge
TO the Werid.


The most laboriously wrought stone
carving, In the world, the temple Of
Cinema Kesava, at Belur. India. was
built 10 the Twelfth century to cele-
brate the conversion to vishnuism OF =
Jain ruler. Ferguson says Of this par
ticular temple: "The amount Of labor
which each particular facet Of this
porch displays IL such as never was
bestowed on any surface Of equal ex.
tent In any building In the world"
Another masterpiece Of sculptured
stone, at Hullabid, India, ten miles
from Belur. is greatly ruined now. and
many Of Its gems have been removed
to the museum at Bangalore. When
intact II was the finest specimen Of
Indian art in existence. This column
is one Of the most marvellous exhibit
lions Of human labor to be found even
In the patient East-far surpasses any
thing In Gothic art. The effects are
said to be just what the medieval
architects were aiming at, but which
they never attained SO perfectly as
was done at Hullabid Ferguson fur
Their says, placing the Hullabid temple
and the Parthenon in Athens as the
two extremes Of architecture: ut
would be possible to arrange all the
buildings of the world between these
two extremes, as they tended toward
the severe intellectual purity of the
one or the playful, exuberant fancy Of
the other; but perfection, II 1t existed,
would be somewhere near the mean"

HENRI HEBRANS HARDEST
 HEADED MAN NOW FIGHTING
Belgian Feathcrweight Has Skull That Wsllops Makes No Im-
 precision Upon.

Paris, Dec. 20.--Henri Hebrans, the Belgian featherveight, is being hailed in French sporting circles today as probably the hardest headed fighter known to the ring. If developed over- night that Edouard Mascart of Paris, who won the European featherweight title by defeating Hebrans on points here Tuesday night broke his right hand in the third round of the fight with Hebrans in landing a blow on the Belgian's head. The doctors have prescribed two months vacation from ring activities for Mascart while the maimsd member Is healing.
 Contact with Hebrans' cranium had already cost Eugene Criqui the feath- crweight championship and caused his temporary and perhaps permanent retirement from the ring, Criqui hay- ing shattered his left hand some time ago in a bout with Hebrans and thus being unable to meet Mascart and de- fend his title.
 Mascart and Criqui were as one in declaring Hebrans' head is harder than that of any pugilist they have ever met. Some one has explained this by the story that one of the most popular sports among lusty lads in 1.iege, Hebrans' home, is a game of trying to split an inch board by but t.ng it with the head after a short run. Hebrsns is declared to have been champion of Liege at that game before he took up pugilism as a

NOW YOU CAN END
 RHEUMATIC PAINS
German Chemistry Achieves
 Another Triumph

Nothing is so important in medical practice as the conquest and elimina ton of pain. For many years German scientists have specialized on this sub ject, producing many of the most inn among which are Aspirin for the re- lief of headache pain and Novocain for painless dentistry. Now, from the same source comes Buhler Oil for Rheumatic pain, scientific formula that penetrates the skin and tissues rapidly, soothing the pain almost in stantiy, and in a few minutes produc- ing that comfortable feeling that means so much to sufferers.
 Knowing that rheumatic pains must have a definite cause, these German chemists persisted in their experi- ments. finally arriving at the con- clusion that toxic poisoning from clogged intestines was transmitted through the blood to joints and muscles causing inflammation. After that it was problem of finding the right combination of materials to counteract and quickly end the pain.
 Buhler Oil has been used by an im- mense number of people with almost universal success. Many stubborn, long-standing cases have responded quickly to this remarkable lubricant. So astonishing have been the results and so universal the praise accorded Buhler Oil by users that local drug gists are glad to endorse it and will cheerfully refund your money if you are not thoroughly satisfied. Buhler Oil is for sale in this city by The Fair Store, Malinowski & O'Brien, The Clark & Brainerd Co.,. Miller-Hanson Drug Co.,, The Dickinson Drug Co.

WOMAN CONFESSES
 DIRECTING THEFT
Denies However, She Advised Shooting in Detroit

Detroit. Dec. 20.--A confession that she planned the $sA0o hold-up of the Tuxedo Bank in Indianapolis, Ind, November 2S, forbade any shooting. and later received 10 per cent of the lcot, was made today by Marjorie Callahan, 31 years old, under arrest here.
 Miss Callahan was arrested in an automobile by two detectives, Lieuten- ant Frank F.. Fraley and Sergeant William Dresden, with Leroy c. Young, 5b years old, who, she said, was one of the three bandits. The other two are still at liberty.
 Young and Miss Callahan were held for Indianapolis authorities as fugi- ties. They were trailed here by an Indianapolis detective, who had re- ceivcd tip from acquaintances of Miss Callahan. They had noted her strange actions before and after the hoidup.
 Mis- Callahan, according to Lieuten- ant Fraley, declared that after buying an automobile with part of the s90n she received as her share of thr loot she came to Detroit with Young and they pooled their money in joint saving account.
 Acquaintances of Miss Callahan told the Indianapolis detective that they saw her nervously alight from street car in the neighborhood of the hold up at the time it was in progress. Later they saw her buy a paper and pursue eagerly the account of the af- fair. Half-burned fragments of bonds stolen from the bank were discovered in the furnace of the rooming house where Miss Callahan and Young stayed.
 'I went to Indianapolis an unso- phisticated country girl from near Howe, Ind.." Miss Callahan said. Then I got into the wrong sort of company"

Washington, Dec. 20. Failure York to serve subpoena for Jesse Livermore, Wall street operator, led 10 further postponement today of the inquiry by the senate public lands committee into fluctuations of oil stock before and after the leasing of naval oil reserves.
 Senator Walsh, demoerat. Montana, in charge of the interrogation of wit nesses, insisted that Livermore be placed on the stand first and declined to call out of order representatives of the Chase National bank and the Chase Securities company who have been on hand several days.
 Henry B. Sterns, counsel for the two New York institutions, protested that continued absence of the Chase officials from their desks at this sea son would seriously embarrass their work, and asked that ''in simple courtesy the facts offered to the com mittee by these witnesses be taken now to offset so far as possible press reports which have definitely connect ed our clients with the subject under inquiry"
 T must be allowed to conduct the inquiry in my own way replied Sen ator Walsh. T had planned to take Mir. livermore first, and it would complicate matters to alter this plan. There seems, unfortunately, to be some difficulty in finding that witness although my information is that his whereabouts should be easily de- termined."
