Mr.. Phillips himself truly remarks,
when the Ballet Espagnole' becomes
better known to 'studentS of the CO.
temporary movement as it has evolved
from the remote past it will be ac-
claimed as an epochal adventure, max
ing an important moment in the de-
velopment Of modern painting. In our
time the art of Manet Is rapidly UNDER
going a revelation. 1t is now his early
work which appears significant as a
link in a chain which began with Goya
and which leads to Gauguin and
Matisse" Here we have direct brush
work, simplicity in expression, realism
tempered and more than tempered, by
artistic expression-movement rhythm,
and yet repose.
To once more quote Mr.. Phillips:
''This Is the very apotheosis of the
theater, of the spectacle and the psS-
cant of a dynamic world appearing for
a bright insistent moment out of the
obscurities of time and space. This is
the Towering of all that is eyanescentt

ReincarnatiOn Belief
Shields African Lions

Rhodesia is suffering badly from the
depredations of lions and leopards these
days. It would be the simplest mat
ter In the world TO eliminate these pests
as in most parts of South Africa, but
the natives, although baited by the
offers of gems and other rewards, sim
ply will not help the white farmers
In this matter. The whole truth is
that the natives believe that the spirits
of their departed chiefs are reincar-
mated in the lions and leopards that
infest the country AS a result of this
superstition no native dare kill a lion
for fear of bringing the anger Of the
spirits upon him and his family. The
native Is rather between the devil
and the deep sea, because the spirits
have q nasty habit ofsfrarrying on
naennbers Of his family Assen hungry.

Scoop and Col. Bell had a little
trouble with their exhibits at the
Fair, but it all vanished when another
entry arrived at the grounds on Mon
day Col. Bell was unable to get any
body to judge whose Mountain pus-
sizes" were the best, and as he would
not be the chief inspector himself,
he pinned blue ribbons on both of
them The parrot refused to say any
thing at the grounds but "Whoopee,
home again." and the judge, knowing
all about that old joke, got angry
and wouldn't pin a ribbon of any kind
on him. Scoops entry in the horse
department was placed in the races
and therefore disqualified from COM
peting for thorobred honors.
The winner, therefore, was rae
coon, caught by Ralph Weber, who
rarely goes hunting for anything less
than moose meat, but condescended
this time because he thought the
coon might help him to get rid Of the
large number of cats which are being
dropped around his plantation just
south of town.
The 'coon's attitude toward the
judges and Col Bell, who took the
picture, was not one very becoming
as is shown in the snapshot, but he
got the blue ribbon anyway,

The Way to the Fair

Directions on how to reach the
Fair grounds were compiled by Col.
Bell and Scoop with great difficulty
after it was seen that quite a num-
Der were stopping at The Republican
office and asking their way. Here's
how you get there:
Take passenger boat "Bluesky,"
Pier No. 6, corner Of Second and
Green streets, go west on Liberty
street until you get there, then turn
right, show your ticket as you sail
through the gate, and unload at Sun
set Haven, at the edge of Lake Fair

pany's annual report. while this use
of long distance service has been un-
doubtedly stimulated by general bust
ness activity, and the rate reductions

and improved quality of service have
been the largest contributing factors

improvement Of service-an essen
tial factor in this growth in long dis
lance usage-is in turn dependent
upon the adequate and dependable ia
cilities. With this in mind, the com
pany began some years ago the con-
structiOn Of long distance toll cables,
the report shows. At the beginning Of
1925 the investment in long distance
plant and equipment Of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
was $140,000,000. At the end of 1928
the investment was S262,000,000, and
it is planned to spend more than $780,
100000 for additional facilities in 1929.
At the same time that the number
Of long distance telephone messages
has been increasing, the other services
furnished through the use Of the long
distance plant have been steadily
growing, Chain broadcasting on a
national scale, which has become such
an important factor In the life of the
nation, is making extensive use of tele
phone wires for the nter-connection
Of broadcasting stations located
throughout the country.
Press associations, manufacturing
enterprises, commercial and banking
houses, are making more and more
use of networks of circuits leased for
their own exclusive use between widely
separated points. The majority OF
these circuits are operated as tele.
graph or typewriter circuits, although
many are for telephone use.

A man lent a friend book, "How

Meeting a little later, the friend
told the lender that his wife was read

he also got hunting license. Probab-
