train Is amusingly portrayed and the funny
little engine and awkward looking coaches, very
much like the old stage coaches The contrast
between the two is amusingly brought in the
two sorts of trains. There is whole world
Of difference between the two. We are so
accustomed to the express train that we forget
what went before it to make its efficiency
possible.
The final stages of the transportation of the
mail are the great ocean greyhound and the
airplane that carries the mail today. The
artist has been very successful in showing the
tall towers of Manhattan behind the smoke
stacks Of the ocean liner as it leaves the docks
in the North River The airplane flies directly
toward the sun, which is emblamatical that
westward the flight of empire takes its
sway" 1t is a dramatic conception to trace
the evolution of the mode of transportation of
the messages between the States of the Union
and between the other countries of the world.
The story Of transportation is the story of the
growth Of modern invention, industry and the
way the world runs. For without the inter-
communication of mankind, what despair of
isolation would surround US But the artist has
seized on the force of the idea and brought it
home to us wildly. This is what the artist
does for us; he has the gift of vision to look
little deeper into the world and select the
most important elements and bring them to
the attention of the world for its instruction,
entertainment and arousing it to greater under
standing of the possibilities of human endeavor.
The element that is different in these
sculptures is that they in formalized low
relief They conform to the structure of the
building. The obvious thing about many other
bas-reliefs is that they are mostly in the round,
sometimes greatly raised above the background
of the marble or bronze in which they are
placed. The strictly formaliZed fiat design is
really more in harmony with building than
are figures in the round The former are really
more architectural. The present figures are
rather modernistic in feeling They are for
malized and simplif1ed well. Every un-
necessary detail has been eliminated yet the
full force of the figures is strikingly portrayed.

day, but his memory fingers fondly in the
imagina ton.
The stage coach follows close behind the
galloping pony express and in its way it is
quite as adventurous as the former There
were daring hold-ups in the days of the stage
coach. Bandits lay in wait for the letters
and money that were contained in the mail
There were post stations where the horses we're
changed and a fresh lot taken on. Four
horses were needed then and their numbering
way was slow indeed when We compare their
pace with that of today. When the bandits
appeared shots were exchanged, the horses put
to gallop and the passengers were lucky if
they escaped being shot. But this was the
spirit of pioneer life which has persisted in
different phases even until today as We are
sometimes painfully aware. In this design
there Is again excellent sense of movement
and tense life.

Key Hunted in Symbols.
The two groups Of symbols on the
tomb about which the controversy has
arisen each contain seven objects. the
first letters of which spell out the name
of the poet Publius Ovidius, which, ac-
cording to the late theory, proves that
some ingenius person and devoted ad-

not be forever lost.
Within the near future a well known
architect will publish book proving
that the artistic and decorative work
on the ConStanZa SarcophaguS belonged
to the epoch of Ovid In the meantime
others less interested in scientific facts

say that Ovid having honored Their

home and last resting place, must be

Margarine Preferred
To Butter by Danes

COPENHAGEN, Denmark-After de-
veloping their dairy industry to such
a point that Danish butter now is
considered the choicest obtainable in
Europe the Danes themselves have
taken to eating oleomargarine instead
The per capita consumption of butter
in Denmark has slumped to only II
pounds a year, While the margarine
consumption has risen to As pounds.
In other great butter producing coun-
tries such as Canada, Australia and
New Zealand the per capita consump-
ton is, respectively %, 80 and "a
pounds per year. Danish margarine
factories now produce 17400O,000
pounds year or As per cent as much
as the butter industry produces. The
explanation lies in the fact that every
Danish COW owner automatically de-
livers most of his milk supply to the
nearest cooperative dairy, receiving
only the SKINNED milk in return, which
he feeds to his hogs In order to make
his business pay he does not think Of
retaining enough cream to churn for
his own use, and when he wants some
thing to spread on his bread he buys
the cheapest thing he can find-oleo-
margarine. The oleomargarine indus
try has now developed to such a point
that only expert butter taSterS can in
variably tell Danish margarine from
Danish butter.

Soviet to Manufacture
Own Digging Machines

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R.-The council
of peoples commissars has decided on
the construction of an eXcaVating ma
chine plant, to be completed by jan
uary l, 1888.
In the middle of last year the U. S.
S. r. had scarcely 100 excavation ma
chimes, eight of which had been i'm
ported after the revolution. During the
last quarter of 1880 and the first six
months of the current year three times
the number Of excavating machines
were imported as we're purchased dur
ing the last two years together, and yet
this is far from fulfilling the existing
demand
The program for the cxcavator plant
anticipates an annual production of
1000 machines. It is estimated that
the total annual production of all Euro
pean excavator plants does not exceed
500 machines, and even in the United
States scarcely 5000 CT these machines
are produced annually.
The Soviet plant to be built will thus
be the largest of Its kind in the world

Two Overwhelming reasons are incit-
ing the ArgentineS to this plan. One is
the need to reduce costs to compete
abroad. The other is the fact that in
Argentina as everywhere in Latin
America, there is, in normal times, not
enough labor to do the work that has
to be done. To meet these two condi-
tions, it is calling upon the machine
age, for Latin America, despite low
wages for labor, has learned that the
machines of modern agriculture and
industry are vital to supply its lack Of
hands. and to wipe out its handicap of
higher costs Of production, which
chained its workers to the lowest stand

This lack of labor presents the one

unanswerable reason for the enthuSi-
asm OF those who see in Latin America

The highway system is advancing at

Coal fields of Western Arkansas and

scales. give promise Of renewed activity
and employment for hundreds Of men.
Advices received here say numerous
operators have signed wage agreements
with union officials at a conference in
Chicago and operations will be resumed
within 10 days.
One mine belonging to the Eureka
Coal Co, largest producer in the field,
started work again last night
Union men at Paris, Ark, said they
have been advised operators of all
mines in that sector signed the agree
ment.
Attempts of some operators to reopen
with non-union workers have been re-
sisted by the union men.
A few weeks ago National Guards
men were called out in the Clarks-
vile area after several hundred union
miners entered the field TO halt non-
union operations
At AliX, Ark, yesterday an attempt
to reopen mine with non-union
workers was prevented by group of

BAN OFF SILK DRESSES
IN HIGH SCHOOL ROOMS
Bare Knees, Rouge, French Heels,
However, Still Taboo for
Little Rock Girls.
By the Associated press.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, September g.
Hereafter girls attending high school
and junior high school in Little Rock
will be permitted to wear silk dresses to
classes, but high heels, bare knees,
rouge and lipstick remain taboo.
The Rules Committee of the School
Board has modified ban of long stand
ing against the wearing of silk, satin,
pongee or velvet garments.
The dispens2tion was made at the
1nsistence of a delegation sent by
the Parent Teacher Association which
argued dresses and stockings of silk can
now be purchased mere cheaply than
many other materials.
No change was made in the rule
against French heels, satin slippers, -un-
covered knees or facial and lip embel-
lishments.
