Many OF the artists who now occupy
fashionable apartments, penthouses
and big ateliers used to live in the
old Van Dyck studios on Eighth ave-
nue.. They were happy, young and
poor. Everybody knew and helped
everybody else. If anyone sold pic
ture or Illustration, 1t was an event
celebrated by all. One day painter
who now is well known, but then was
just beginning, got an invitation to
fashionable wedding. Though he
thought there was a fair chance that
the invitation was mistake, he was
more than anxious to 20. He always
had heard that at these big house we'd
dings the food was excellent.
The trouble was that he didn't have
the proper clothes. He did have a
shirt, which would do for fOunda-
ton, and he also had collar, neck.
tie and a pair of gloves. The Van
Dyck turned itself upside down to out
fit him. One friend contributed pair
of striped trousers, another morning
coat, still another shoes and silk socks.
Nobody owned a silk hat, but one of
the artists friends knew a man who
had one, and borrowed it. The hat
was a little large for the wedding
guest, so they stuffed little paper
under the sweatband.
The day came and with the help OF
all, the invited artist was shiningly
arrayed. He wished to walk the mile
across town to the wedding but that
Idea was vetoed. By unanimous
vote Of the Van Dyck 1t was decided
that he should take taxi. He really
was not going as an individual but as
representative of q district. With
due sense of his responsibility, he
entered the cab and stuck his head out
to wave a dignified farewell to all the
friends who were leaning from win
dovs. The taxi started with jerk
7" TX hat, never too secure, toppled
to the street, bounced under the rear
wheel Of the car, and became just
memory. That is one of the tragic
stories of the old Van Dyck.
Those were the days when certain

Dayton, OhtO.-Gisbert l.. Bos-

"Experiments have been carried

light rays, or black light" said
Bossard. "This is accomplished
by the use of apparatus in the
hands of an observer. In this
manner the navy can detect the

DEATH OF LYNN
 WOMAN THOUGHT TO BE SUICIDE
Mary Frances Beary Was Found on the Bleak Marshes After Being Missed l6 Days

Gloucester, Mass, Sept 23-(UP) The death of Miss Mary Frances Beary, 32, of Lynn, a former shoe worker whose body was found here yesterday after she had been missing for 16 days, was seen to- day as a possible suicide.
 Authorities learned from Lynn druggist that on August 31, six days before she disappeared, she threatened to end her own life be- cause of the sorry outcome of a love affair. To the druggist she confided the name of her sweet heart, who was being sought for questioning today.
 A cursory examination by Medi- cal Examiner Ira B. Hull failed to disclose the cause of death. There was a bottle of iodine near the body but it was full. There was a second bottle, empty, with the stopper firmly in place. Dr Hull said, however, that if the young woman had swallowed the deadly poison which this bottle had con- tained, she woud not have been able to replace the stopper.
 The body, lightly clad, lay on the. bleak marshes near Jones creek, half a mile from the near est highway. It was the isolated location of the body that caused police at first to suspect foul play. If the woman were slain, the body may have been brought by boat to the spot where it was found.

WOMAN AND HER FOUR CHILDREN

Los Angeles, Sept 23.-(UP)- A woman and her four small chill dren, whose wrists had been slash ed. were sped to a police hospi- tai today after Mrs Harriet Pulp, 31, told police weird story of an attack by a female fiend." She said the "f1end" crept into the bod rooms of the children before dawn and cut their wrists with a razor, then attacked her.
 Two of the children, questioned separately, told officers that their mother had inflicted the wounds and then attempted to end her own life, detectives said. The children are Marvin, g; Harriet May, T; Roland, 6, and Courtney, 8. All probably will recover.

 He identified an article in the December, 1929 issue as one he had written. It talked of the wonderful shows of various Moose lodges and said that half the lodges have fallen into line." The article urged the lodgest that had not already planned a charity ball to communicate with broth CT" Theodore Gs Miller.
 Miller is also under indictment, charged with having been one of the chief promoters of the alleged lotteries.
 Stewart repudiated another article in the magazine which said that rarely did it print anything without the approval of Davis.
 "Boloney," he said.
 What do you mean by bolo- ney" defense counsel asked.
 q have to publish a magazine each month and it's physically im- possible for me to get minute data on everything" Stewart replied. That particular article is inaccu- rate"
 Under questioning of defense counsel, Stewart repudiated still another article in his magazine. This article said Senator Davis called a conference at Mooseheart at which 800 officers of the lodges were present.
 It read: Brother Davis after listening to the reports of the char ity ball success, instructed the propagation department to contin- ue with it's work. He paid a high compliment to Brother Miller for his zeal, ability and achievement"
 Stewart said he had heard that such a meeting took place. but aft- CT the article was printed discov- cred there was no meeting at all.

 The New York governor was greeted by more than 50,000 cheer ing persons here last night. Sailors of the Pacific fleet and tattered habitues of the waterfront mingled in the throng that lined Market street as the candidates automo- bile moved slowly from the ferry building to the Palace Hotel.
 In appealing for the support Of the running made of Theodore Roosevelt in the revolt of progress sive republicans in 1912, Roose- welt surprised his Sacramento nst- eners when he declared
 T invite them, welcome them, and I pledge my faith to the prin- ciples that have brought us to- gether."
 He took cognizance of Johnson's blast against the administration, at Modesto Wednesday, and declared himself "100 per cent" in accord with the doctrine laid down by the stormy petrol of California poll tics.

 "The people of this country have come to believe that what this country needs is new leadership and that the battle we are Waglng is a battle for new leaders-not a mere change of party, not a mere change of party emblem, not a mere change of names - but change of principle, a new deal.
