HIGH COST OF LIVING
 HAS STRUCK MODERN ART

PARIS, Nov. 14. (P)-The high cost of living seems to have hit modern art a hard blow. The searchers of some new school of painting have had to so economiZe in canvas and paint the Autumn salon is reduced to about half it's usual proportions
 What there is of it is sufficiently striking, however. The full length portrait of woman in the role of Oedipues with indigo blue blood run ming out of her eyes, is the chief mon- strosity. It is accompanied by the usual debauche of flesh-athletic and obese.
 There are some ambitious exhibits that are highly estimated by their au- thors. Two of the pieces are ticketed 75,000 francs each and it is declared that they have been sold at that fig ure.
 Several critics say that the show gives evidences that modernism in art is going stale and that perhaps since canvas and paint come so high extrav- agencies will become less predominant by Christmas

Hansen left on the Alaska last evening for the Westward to rejoin his ship. This is his first year in Alaska and he likes it so well that he plans con- ing north again next spring.
 The ZR-3, was constructed in the Anderson shipyards, on Lake Wash ington, Seattle, during the war. The vessel is 250 feet long and powered with two 300 Standard engines. The herring plant is modern in every re- spect and with the exception of quar- ters for the crew and plant employees, and the engines located in the stern, all space on the ship is made over for carrying on the herring indus try.
 Captain H. P. Knuteson is the skip per of the vessel. Including the crew there are about forty, people on board. Six of these are women, expert herring gibbers, all of the crew employed being white persons. It is stated during the past season there have been many more people employed with Alaskan fishermen.

IF A GOOD GUEssER YOU CAN
 TELL MOVIE STARAs IN ROME

ROME, Nov. 14. (P-While Amer ican film stars are even more popu- lar this season, the initiated Ameri- can tourist must be an adept guesser to recognize many of their names on the posters.
 This is largely due to the fact that in the Italian. language "T," "Y" and "C' have the same sound and are reads the names of such
 used interchangeably Thus one reads the names of such American stars as Patti, Maj Murrai, Bettj Blithe, Glorya Swanson, Mari Pikford, Mary Fhilbin and Maj Mkavoj. Douglas Fairbanks seldom gets his last name used, at least when fans talk of him, due to the fact that Italian cus- tom calls for placing last names first He is known simply as "Dooglas."

 Him Loudly

New York, Feb. 24.-A patriot speech by a 13-year-old boy orate today stands out as the feature the flag rally in Carnegie Hall las night under the auspices of tn United States Flag association. Tn speech, by Bertram J. Stern, [ Mount Vernon. N. r., ranks wit the one made recently by Mori spector, who held an audience spe bound at Lenine memorial mel ing In Madison Square Garden.

 Within a short time after Bertram had concluded his speech, messages of praise from radio listeners began to arrive at the station from which the flag rally program was broad cast. Bertram is the son of Albert Stern. a public school teacher in Mount Vernon.
