CHICAGO, Sept. 10. Up - Two

guarded by physicians who were
today making a determined effort

The cortin, rushed here by air

New York-It's rather disconcert- ing to trip over a couple of mythi- cally important gods on your way home from the theater.
 But New York being what it is, no one can say for sure what one is likely to stumble upon.
 And so it happened, that shortly before midnight I found myself walking past the Stygian catacombs of back stage door, And at that very moment two truck drivers were in the process of tossing sections of the Nile on truck.
 Piled four and five deep upon the curbstone were such assorted repli- cas of ancient Egyptian deities as Apis, the sacred bull: Thoth, the god with a fish face; the benficent Osiris, and Anubis, the jackal. with sin ister influence over the underworld.
 And the two truck drivers were talking. to each other. The first said:
 "Blankety, blank blank "a. .. we can't get all this junk on one truck. We'll have to take a second load".
 And the other cussed twice as much and said
 "Blankety blank we'll be working till morning.
 Neither one noticed that they were addressing Osiris and Thoth and Anubis and Apis. Men would have died for such sacrilege in an- other day. In fact, millions have died for no such sacrilege at all.
 At the moment, those particular images that once had power over life or death, were reduced to some thing closely resembling plaster of

Red is the color of joy in China, and red thread is provided for sew ing the garments of those who are soon to be married.
 | In many parts of China, it is the custom for the groom's parents to send presents to the home of the bride a month before the wedding day. These presents may include cakes, wine, fruit. money, five kinds of silk to be used in making dresses for the bride, goose and a lgander. Sometimes the feathers of the goose and gander are dyed red. On her wedding day, the Chinese bride is clothed in. red silks, and wears a red veil. She is carried from her home and is placed in sedan chair. Four men lift the chair and start toward the home of the groom. Along the way, fire-crackers are set off and a band plays music. Friends and relatives of the bride and groom march ahead of the chair. They carry lanterns and torches; and one of them holds a end of her journey, the bride sees her friends and relatives turn back. Not even her parents are al- lowed to watch the wedding take place.
 The groom meets the bride as she enters the home of his parents. In little space, the pair go into the courtyard and kowtow to Heaven and Earth. To "kowtow'' is to kneel and strike the forehead on the ground. Then the bride and groom go into the main hall of the house and pray to the ancestors of the groom.
 The next step is to drink from cups of wine tied together with red cord; and after this is done, they are considered to be married. The marriage is followed by two days of feasting.
 The bride becomes a member of her husbands family and seldom sees her own relatives after the wedding day. If her husband dies. she has the legal right to marry again: but public opinion is against her doing so. Many archways in honor of "good widows" have been set up in China.

OUR DAILY NEWS LETTER
BY SAMUEL DAsHIEL

| United Press Stan Correspondent Paris - One of the final and ulti-
 mate crimes against beauty has been
 committed. It appears now that na- ture and art cannot suffer any worse indignity.
 To those few million Americana
 who were trained in the simple and
 naive belief that Francois Milletts' painting of the "Angelus'' wes good art, 1t might be of interest to know that the famous landscape
 near Barbizon. just south of Paris.
 has been more or less the same ever since Millet painted 1t. Emer- ging from a little forest near the plain of Chailly. one could see the
 same broad sweep of field, the
 same soft horizon. the little church of Chailly. and even the same type of simple peasants leaning over their rude implements. their heads inclined in prayer.
 Landscape Left Intact Men like MNlet. Rousseau, Corot,
 Barye, brought thousands of tour- ists to the hamlet of Barbizon, which in It's droIl little way re- sponded quite normally to the for- l eign invasion but the landscapes l0f the great masters were left in- tact Until | few weeks ago the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-04-16

countryside was still a touching and rustic souvenir of the last half of the Nineteenth Century. One could visualize it as a haven for painters and sculptors.
 But the dreams of poets and the pride of landscape painters are gone. Emerging from that same forest to- ward Chailly, the visitor receives a horrible shock. Right in the midst |of Millet's choice landscape is an erstwhile low stone dwelling which now biatantly and brazenly adver- tises to the skies the merits of a French distillers popular aperitif. One is blinded by this awful and ungodly appeal to mans innate thirst. Even the most hardened, as- tigmatic and hickel-plated modern ist, must blush before this debau- taste.
 All Advertising
 Farther on, toward Barbizon, there are other crimes committed in the name of advertising. The hotels have been corrupted: three Amer ican automobiles successfully ruined one segment of the landscape with dainty yellow and purple signs Q mile high. Perhaps a drunken and modern Millet might find charm picking out devout peasants among hotel spark plugs, automobiles and liquor advertisements. And then, perhaps not.
 It may be, of course. that good taste Is just manifesting itself, and that the old system of undeflled land scapes was ugly and unaesthetic. There is no record that the Greeks filtered up their towns and sacred groves with signboards, and the Greeks were credited with believing that cleanliness was next to God liness, and even though 8 splendid red and yellow barn roof may dwell soap, it does not cleanse good taste of it's impurities.
