"Of course am quite sure the cook

She feels, / know, that 1 am used to

me when l was young:

Mrs. Black Cat wasn't in the least

"Well, Mrs. Cat, must be going

WHEN [ WAS

Art Studies.
GA ABOUT this time entered
"A an art school for the first
time, in San Francisco.
previous to that / ran away from
st. Mary's, boys school near Tope-
ka, Kans., where / remained for two
years, drawing more than l studied,
and where the teacher made me do
pictures and statues of the saints and
the pope to be used in the chapel.
They had me do too much of that.
and / got tired and ran away, return
ing to my parents in Omaha. On thu
way bought the first real paints /

schools, but went on drawing in my
books and etching on my slate. /
never had received any instruction in
the technique of art except from an
occasional, itinerant teacher, who was
no good.
"Then my father took us to Los An
geles, where the color in the hills, the
vividness in the sunrises, had always
so inspired me, and there / gave my
self over to painting. Most of my pic
lures were of horses, Indians and
locally, and in that way l earned
enough money to go to San Francisco
and to the art school, where l re-
manned two years, meeting with fair
success.
after going back to Los Angeles
for year 1 decided to go East. I
had just enough money to get me as
far as Omaha but 1 took along my
entire collection of paintings and
bronzes and sold them to a private
collector in that city. He gave me
$1,000 for the lot, and with that money
/ went to Paris. There 1 studied at

in northern Germany its effect has re-

authorities to have represented the

of James Frazer are correct, 1t would
appear as if his death insured the an

10 one version Balder was the son Of
Odin and the goddess Freya. The lat
ter was the goddess of love. Long CEN
turtles before Tennyson wrote of "a
young mans fancy" love and the
springtime were conceived as being
"affinities." The association of ideas
is clear. In the season of love we turn
the stone and the son of the goddess
of love from the underworld sends the
love token.

PROv|DEDBY COURT
Decision Basis of Drive to
Issue Liquor Permits Only
to gift" Persons.

A new campaign against illegal
vendors of legal liquor. including
druggists. operators of denaturing
plants and others, is under way.
Fitness of persons to hold such
liquor permits under the national pro-
hibition act, officials of the Treasury
admitted. is to be vigorously tested
under a recent decision Of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
AS an indication of the new cam
paign, the Treasury published today
the syllabus of decision Of the Fed

of the Government against a druggist.
The Massachusetts court cited the SUI
preme Court decision in the case of
Making Products Co. Of June of this
year.
One Treasury official indicated that
the principle in the Making case.
that the commissioner of internal
revenue has wide discretionary powers
in denying permits where the appli-
cant is shown not to be "fit," will be
used throughout the country in put
ting a stop to Bookkeeping of licensed
liquor from denaturing plants, drug
stores and other places of legal sup

Publication of the Massachusetts
decision against John J. O'Rourke was
interpreted today as information not

the new war is on.
