Ghost Story Cause
OF Suit i'm Norway

BERGEN, Norway R.-Norwegian
lawyers believe Norway holds q record
as the only country in which a ghost
story has caused legal proceedings.
The case. now pending in court,
originated along the banks of the
beautiful Sognefjord, well known to
many American tourists. Last year
after the death of an aged farmer
woman. mysterious noises were heard
in the house. They continued all Win
ter, often during the night, disturbing
the new tenants of the place.
The ghostly sounds finally became
public gossip and one Of the local au-
thorities suggested the dead woman
was haunting the house. A daughter
of the dead woman felt aggrieved over
the suggestion and when the oficial
stuck to his theory that the noises
were caused by q ghost, the daughter
lodged a complaint against him for

board to cornice, is gone, having been
divided into small galleries more inti-
mate in character. The wall cover
ings of embossed fabric have been
painted an oyster color, not gray nor
buff but in between, and very effective.
The red velvet carpets and seats have
disappeared entirely, and no one will
want them back, so satisfactory is the
present appearance Of quite reserve.
And best Of all, the paintings are hung
for the most part in single row, well
spaced. To be sure many paintings,
and among them some great favorites
of other days, have been banished.
But this is not to say that they may
not from time to time return, or, If
inspection is eagerly desired, seen in
the storerooms. Certainly they could
not be well seen before, and work Of
art poorly displayed is an injustice.
Now, beginning with the primitives
and ending with the works Of so-called
modernists of the late nineteenth CEN
tury, these galleries set forth the his
tory of painting, each room being de-
voted to a different period or nation.

highest standards. But, of course,
there are conspicuous exceptions,
such as the imposing canvas by Tie
polo which effectively ends a vista.
From the original Walters collection
few examples have been chosen, pos
sibly because Of limitations Of space,
possibly because Of change in fashions.
Nowhere have the Men of 1860" held
their exalted place. Such is fame's
little day. But Gerome's Duel After

Most beautiful in this gallery Is a

WINE FROM THESE GRAPES. BY

-HE publication of volume OF
poems by Edna st. Vincent
Millay is an event in American
i literature not to be passed over
with a mere word from the

manship is never impaired by haste.
Her last volume preceding this, Fatal
Interview" was published in 1881 and
was hailed by some critics as in the
tradition of Sidney's poems and the
sonnetS of Petrarch and Shakespeare.
The title of this 1884 volume Is
taken from the lines in Miss Millay's
poem. THE Buck in the Snow:
"Wine from these grapes I shall be
treading surely
Morning and noon and night until
die.
Stained with these grapes shall lie
down to die"
The collection is especially rich in
beauty and variety Of both theme and
form. Probably the most significant
part is the sonnet sequence entitled
"Epitaph for the Race of Man" be-
gining with Before this cooling planet
shall be cold" and ending with Here

sea-" The course Of humanity, from
the time when THE dinosaur at morn

Some Of the other notable pieces in

beauties of nature as are described

Norwegian Experience Cited.
An estimate of what may well de-
velop in Americas collaboration with
the I. l.. o. can be drawn from the
experience of Norwegian workers, who
after Is years deliberate abstention
sent representative to Geneva fol-
the first time this year.
"Abstention OF Norwegian workers
from the I. L. o. in no way hurt
the work of that organization, says
an official statement Of the Nor
wegian Confederation of Trade
Unions, "but 1t proved an important
contributory cause toward keeping
social legislation and labor protec-
ton in Norway far behind many
other countries. We have not kept
pace with Scandinavian and West
ern European countries Passivity
in the international labor field leads
to inadequate activity at home.
Norwegian workers have lacked the
strong international backbone rep
resented in the I. L. Q. Office. It
was high time that Norwegian labor
came out of its splendid isolation

GENEVA, Switzerland.-With Amer
lean membership in the International
Labor Office an accomplished fact
except for arrangement of minor de-
tails such as method of paying annual
dues, election Of an American to the
governing board and appointment of a
half dozen American citizens to the
Labor Offices permanent staff at
Geneva-interest is centering upon the
possibility of Soviet Russia joining the
Geneva organization.
The U. S. S. R. and the U. S. A. oc-
cupy paradoXical positions at Geneva
these days. Almost Immediately after
President Roosevelt officially made
Washington member of the Labor
Office, Litvinoff, on behalf of Mos
COW, officially accepted the Assembly S
invitation to join the League. Two
other nations-Afghanista and Ecu
simultaneously became the fif-
ty-ninth and sixtieth members of the
League.
Theoretically, adhesion to the League
means membership in the I. L. o. But
membership in the labor organization
does not involved membership in its
political half-brother, the League.
Brazil and Japan, for example, have
both withdrawn from the League, but
are continuing their collaboration with
the Labor Office in its efforts to bring
closer harmony between capital and
industry and organized and unorgan-
ized labor and workers.
Butler Now in United States.
Harold Butler, director general OF
the Labor Office, is at present in the
United States, having gone there to
address the American Federation OF
Labor Convention at San Francisco
and to acquaint American workers
with the work and aims of the labor
organization. During his stay in
America he will confer with President
Roosevelt and congressional leaders
such as Senator Wagner and with
Secretary of Labor Perkins, Secretary
of State Hull and others over ways
and means of making Americas par
ticipation with the I. L. O. effective.
Inasmuch as American labor stand
ards, at the moment, are far in ad-
vance of those of most European and
Asiatic countries, the immediate effect
of membership will be felt first In for
eign countries. For example. great
impetus to the international campaign
for a universal 44-hour week is ex-
pected. Most European countries were
still baking at the 48-hour week until
last Summer. Switzerland and some
other equally advanced states persist
in clinging to 52-hour and even 60
hour working week in many industries
