WHITE IS CALM
IN ART ROW

fused to comment publicly, but
privately indicated his reasons for
having executed the work in the
classical tradition.
If the subject matter had been
modern, Mr.. White pointed out.
the clothes, farm implements and
other things necessary to depict
would be out-of date and laugh
able in q few years.
And if the treatment had been
in the latest style of the boys
who splash their brushes around
to make a sunset that looks more
like a kitchen stove or a radio
crooner, Mr.. White also pointed
out, the work would not harm
onize with the beautiful. dignified
Grecian architecture Of the main
Agricultural Building. where it
hangs
Mr. White says:
'T have tried to execute q
work of timelessneSS, one with
out locality, q work that will
be appreciated 100 years from
now. You can't just put .
popular brand Of suit or collar
ON q figure and call it modern
art. Art should be for all the
people to enjoy"
Yesterday an unexpected sup
porter for the artists side of the
matter arose. Speaking at the
unwilling, Secretary of Agriclll-
ture Henry A. wallace character
lied the mural as excellent and
in the classical spirit" He said:
"It conforms splendidly with
the architecture of the build
ing. The cOIOring, too, is lovely,
and the lighting is fine"
THREE YEAR JOB
The work required three years,
and was originally ordered dur
ing the Hoover Administration.
It will bring the artist $4,000
not such great amount OF
money when you learn such
things as the fact that the can
vas alone cost $700.
Gilbert White, American born
and raised, is a noted figure in
the world of art. His works
hang in the Luxembourg, Paris,
many other continental museums,
several American galleries and
many State capitols and munich
pal buildings.
Perhaps the unkindest cut
against him came from those
who criticized the fact that the
mural was painted in Paris, to
which Mr.. White retired for
peace and quiet, away from
radios and Speakeasies."
Real American
It would be difficult to find
anyone more American than Gil
bert White. AS he himself says:
"No one who is born Amer
loan can ever live it down. I
was o sheriff in Utah and I
can rope . heifer today as well
as Will Rogers. / am q cap
tain of the Army reserves and
o member of the Order Of the
Purple Heart. I could be a
member of the Colonial Found
ers of America, If 1 paid my
dues"

Bernabe RobIes Silent on Trip
to Sonora; Justice Agents
Direct Child Search

HERMOSILLO. Sonora, Mex
leo, April 30 N.N.S.).-Mexican
rurales at QuitOvac, an isolated
village amid rugged mountains,
100 miles south Of AjO, Ariz.,
today reported a man and .
woman with . little girl an
swering the description Of kid
naped June RObles, had been
near there travelling south. Of
ficers there are sending troops
to Join in a thorough search.
TUCSON, Ariz., April 30 GIN,
SO.-PoSsibility loomed today that
negotiations for the return Of
June Robles, six-year-old heiresS,
were being conducted in Mexico.
Bernabe Robles, aged cattle king
and grandfather Of the kidnapped
child, returned today from q a
hour mystery trip south.
He denied he had made any
contact with the hdnaperS and
flatly refused to discuss the jour
ney in any way.
Robles was accompanied by
Henry Dalton, Tucson city coun'
Gilman. This recalled reports that
the kidnapers had been insisting
upon a public official as inter
mediary.
May Be In Sonora
The trip of the gray-haired head
of the Robles family into Mexico
was believed to indicate he at
least is giving serious considera-
ton to the possibility that his
granddaughter may have been
CARED by her kdnapers into the
Wilds Of Sonora.
This section Of Mexico is wild
and desolate for the most part,
with few towns and few sections
connected by roads and telegraph
or telephone wires.
If the kidnaperS took June
there, they could probably keep
her indefinitely without news OF
their hideout leaking out.
Mexico Offers Aid
The Sonora state government
announced today in HermoSillo
that the Mexican army had been
ordered to search for the girl.
Mexican officials, who only re-
Gently sent police officers to Tue
son to study the means used to
capture the Dillinger desperadoes
here, said they would conduct an
intensive hunt and if the ab-
ductors were found, surrender
them at once to police here.
They pointed out a new agree
1nent was reached only q few
months ago between Arizona and
Sonora, in which these States
agreed to use as much diligence
in tracking the others criminals
rs their own.
Robes carried small black bag
when he left for Mexico.
Warned in an ultimatum yes
6erday that the police search must
be halted and by renewal Of the
demand of the full ransom, and
an additional $4,000, June'S
father, Fernando RobleS, informed
an Intermediary that he was un-
able to raise the money.
In accord with a second ran
som note, however, June's grand
father has offered to pay the
$1,000 balance. It was reported
that already he had paid the kid
napers $4,000.
Broken Faith Charged
Members of the RobleS family
declared that the abductors had
broken faith by asking for more
money.
With the return from Mexico
Of Mr.. Robles it was announced
that the United States Depart
ment of Justice, determined in its
battle to wipe out the kidnapping
racket in this country, had sent
its best storm troops here to
ferret out the latest octopus Of
crime.
Headed by Joseph E. H. Dunn,
special agent in charge Of the
division of investigation, eight
more Federal men had arrived to
take charge Of the five-day

Produce Market Notes

New York. Virginia yams were quit
ed in several markets at $1.25 to
$1.50. North Carolina Porto Ricans
advanced slightly in Washington at
a range of 81 to $1.10. Eastern sweet
potatoes were quoted up to $1.75 in
some mid-western markets but with
out recent change.
Markets for Florida lettuce are
dull and declining. CARROTS are SELL
ing slowly in western New York pro-
ducing sections and 100-pound sacks
declined about 10 cents the first week
of February, with most sales below
81. At the same time New York City
market advanced abOut Is cents at
a range of $1.1O TO $1.30.
The first carlot of western hot
house cucumbers sold at rather low
prices in New York, ranging 62A
cents to $1.5O per dozen according
to grade. Dealers expect that hot
house cucumbers may sell lower
than usual this season owing to COM
petition of Cuban stock of good
quality and condition selling at $3.50
to $4.25 a bushel and similar con-
ditions are expected in other mar
kets supplied with hothOuse and
southern cucumbers from various
sources. Western hOthouse rhubarb
has been selling ON the basis of 10
to Is cents a pound for desirable
lots. Much the same range of prices
is quoted for New York State hot

SAFETY COUNCIL WARNS
OF CARE IN DRIVING
[ConfiaHed from Ftn P4gt]

=
If you know. you are distinctly above
the average as a driver. Yet, every
driver should know these safe stop
ping distances. They will tell you
how fast you dare travel in residen-
tial districts or on unfamiliar roads.
They provide the safest margins be-
tween cars travelling in a single
line at various speeds. They may
prevent you from crashing into the
car ahead il it should stop suddenly,
or from running over a pedestrian
who suddenly appears in your path.
Make mental note of these safe
margins and govern your speed un-
der all conditions accordingly.
There's safety and security in that
little line that runs down the middle
of the rural highway pavement. It
is a veritable life line to motorists
who will use it as they should. Keep
to the right and you will always be
right. While this is true at all times,
1t is especially important as you ap-
proach a curve or the brow of a
hill. Motorists coming from the op-
posite direction have a right to ex-
pect this of you.
Don't hold to the center of the road,
even though the highway is desert
ed ahead. This practice, typical OF
the Sunday driver" slows up traf-
fic and causes accidents. NJ
Riding the line is hogging the road.
Don't be a road hog.

Morning Thoughts
BY J. MARVIN NICHOLS
Dallas, Texas

1t has often been said that the
face is a revelation of the character
that is behind it. The close observer
knows that the eye has much to do
with that. Take these and study the
next person you meet:
Browneyes are the most kindly.
A dry eye means a hard heart,
Black eyes are the most rash and
impetuous.
Blue eyes belong to a person of an
- enthusiastic turn of mind.
Large eyes in small face always
betoken maliciousness.
Power of language is indicated by
fulness beneath the eyes.
0blique eyes are unfavorable; they
show cunning and deceit.
A steelly blue eye is often the sign
of a merciless disposition.
Projecting, rolling eyes belong to
people destitute of veneration.
Thick, heavy, arched eyebrows al
ways indicate sound Judgment.
Gray eyes are generally found asso-
ciated with foresight and pru-
dence.
Half-shut eyes show a great natural
shrewdness, together with a
lack of sincerity.
Slow-moying eyes are always found
in the heads of persons OF pru-
dence and ability.
Small, black eyes under strong eye-
brows always indicate cunning
and penetration.
Strong eyebrows betoken not mental
but physical power; when shag-
gy, lack of culture.
o@e
1t is to be hoped that you are pre-
ferred stock in the human market.
o@o
II some people would cling to the
cross Ike they cling to their opin-
ions they would never lose their
grip on the Lord.
ego
If you ever get even with the fell
low who does you wrong you win
have to drop to his level. Revenge
is sweet, but IL a fellow has to DO
that revenge costs too much.
