Art Notes

The first guest curator exhibit at the Mattatuck Historical society will be held in the Little Gallery at the society headquarters begin- ming today, October 12, and con- tinuing through the entire month. Miss Mary F. Burrall, curator for this period has arranged 8 Splen- did group of prints by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, "one of the great est and most brilliant of all etch- ers." This group of etchings is, for the most part, from Miss Burrall's own collection.
 Giovanni Piranesi was born in Venice in 1720. He studied with different noted engravers of those days and by 1760 he had established for himself a permanent position in Rome and Europe. He was knighted by the Pope in 1765. A catalogue note states that due to a certain circumstance when the original copper plates of Piranesi's work were captured poor copies of same are in existence and can be seen in curiosity shops but they are misrepresentations of the genuine Piranesi work. Those that may be seen now at the Mattatuck Histor- ical society and which are splendid examples of the old Roman and Italian architecture number "A prints that include The Forum Ro- manum, The Arch of Constantine and the Colosseum, The Temple of Fortunas, Pantheon (Exterior) |, Pantheon Qnterior), Arch of Titus, Arch of Janus, Temple of Neptune (Exterior), Temple of Neptune (In- terior), The Three Paestum Tenn ples' and many others.
 The address at the fall meeting of the Mattatuck Historical socie- ty Wednesday evening, October IA, will be delivered by Professor Odell Shepard, his subject to be "Peddler's Progress" This subject deals with the story of Bronson Alcott, Yankee peddler, and father of Louisa May Alcott, well known au- thor of advanced juvenile stories. Admission is free to members and their friends. The meeting opens at 8:15 at the society headquarters.
 A meeting of the Auxiliary of the David L. Fannick Post will be held on Wednesday, October 14th at 8:30 o'clock. All members are urged to attend as important business will be transacted.
 Miss Kathleen Wheeler of Willow street has returned after spending the weekend in Worcester.

Duke Cagers To
Open 1886 Card
With Richmond

Durham, Dec. Duke universitv's
cagers appear to be headed for a
successful campaign on the hard
wood this season but there is no one
who wants to say any too much about
it.
Last year, the Blue Devils appeared
strong at the start of the year and
showed it by turning in 13 straight
victories but then injuries hit the
squad and, although they ended the
season with 20 victories in 26 games,
they, still hampered by injuries made
the poorest showing of a Duke team
in the history of conference tourna-
ments.
So the Blue Devils are hoping there
will be no injuries this season as they
prepare for the opening clash with
Richmond in Richmond, Va, Friday
night On the following night they
continue their early campaign-ear-
Hest in recent years at Duke-by
meeting Randolph-Macon at Ashland,
Va. =
Coach Eddie Cameron who has
turned out consistently brilliant cage
teams since he took over basketball
in 1929 has all his guards and cent
ers from last year in uniform this
rail- They are Ken Podger, Herb
Cheek, Ace Parker and John Hoff-
man, guards, and Bud Herrick and
Mouse Edwards, centers. Edwards
also played forward last year when
little Billy Huiskamp was lost to the
team due to an appendectomy.
Hulskamp and his running mate at
forward, Captain Charlie Kunkle. are
gone and they will be missed but
there are some promising replace
ments for them including veteran Joe

New York, Dec. IA friend of mine
has just moved into a Manhattan
apartment, for which he pays $50 per
month. It is, really, a modest flat,
three rooms and bath, and a neigh
borhood which would be considered
bad" in any other town; by day, in
summer, the pleasant aromas of a
string of packing houses are waited
into his window, and by night all
year round, he can step few hum
dred feet away from his front door
and find himself in a neighborhoOd
as darkling and sinister as any Hell's
Kitchen or the Bowery knows.
Yet the price he pays and the cir
, cumstances of his newly established
domicile are interesting because l
knew him years ago when, fresh out
of school, he was working hard at be-
ing an expatriate in Paris. At the
{ moment he is complaining bitterly
| over the steepness of New York rents
and this recalls how he escorted me
from my own modest lodging in a
hotel near the Champs Elysee to his
e'amazing bargain in an apartment"
! sX-flight walkup on the Left Bank.
My friend is certain now, as he
was then, that those were the days.
| Paris was the cheapest town on earth
the franc was twenty-five to the dol
| lar and you did not really encounter
| intelligence, charm and an almost
Babbitt-free citizenry until you cross
! ed the Seine and entered into the do
main of the Spirit.
Well 1 thought he was wrong at
the time and 1 still think so. Paris
was never the cheapest town on
earth and the $40 month, translated
| into francs, that my friend paid for
| his Sixth Heaven was, even then
about SIS more per month than he
would have been charged for a COM
| parable Manhattan cold-water tene-
ment flat with few more conven-
| fences and maybe one or two fewer
flights of stairs to negotiate.
1t is my suspicion thai his new
apartment, despite the packing house
and the threatening gloom of the
nearby waterfront, affords him more
for his money in solid value than he
ever got in Paris.
The bath, I remember, was four
flights down through unheated halls,
and the water chill of Paris is more
penetrating, more damply dour, than
any cold in London, even. He was
charged franc for each bath and
fifty centimes for a towel a towel
never soiled enough to be definitely
second hand but always limp enough
to be vaguely suspected. Moreover
he had to arrange his bath with the
concierge days in advance, so that
hot water could be hauled up from
the floor below; the hot water heat
er in the bath had given up the
ghost and become purely ornamental
many seasons back.
During the first year my friend lost
thirty pounds, for all the rich French

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

Dec. 7, 13 B. C.-Marcus Tillius Cic-
ero, greatest of orators, died at SO
without regret. He had said;
Some men make a womanish com
plant that it is a great misfortune
to die bfore our time. I would ask
what time? Is it that of Nature?
But she indeed, has lent us life, as we
do a sum of money, only no certain
day is fixed for payment. What rea-
son then to complain if she demands
it at pleasure, since it was on this
condition that you receive it,"
Appropriate as an epitaph is his OBJ
servation: THE life given us by nature
is short, but the memory of well
spent life is eternal"
The memory of Cicero goes on eter-
nally because he valued truth above
all things. He was killed because he
couldn't tell lie. His friend Clodius
accused of adultery with Caesars
wife Pompeia, alibied that he was
with Cicero at the time. Truthful
Cicero did not subStantiate him, and
naturally became the object Of Clio
dius' mortal hatred.
Clodius had no difficulty in turn
ing Roman soldiers and politicians
against Cicero, who preached II
would prefer the most unfair peace
to the most righteous war" Faithful
servants tried to save Cicero from as
sassins by hurrying him out of Rome
in disguise but he halted them, babe
the assasslns strike. They cut off
the hands that had penned and the
head that had spoken the mighty ora
tons that have resounded for 1000
years. Reading them, one may recog-
nize the source of the wisdom of SO
many of the great men who came
after him. Excerpts:
1T is fortune, not wisdom, - at
rules a mans life"
1T is the peculiar quality of aVfool
to perceive the faults of others, and
to forget his own
Thou shouldst eat to live, not live
to eat"
Trust no man unless you have
eaten much salt with him"
"A thankful heart is not only the
greatest virtue, but the parent of all
other virtues"
Our country is wherever we are
mo well-informed person has de-
clared change of opinion to be an
Inconsistency"

Bling Miller has compiled a nice re-
cord in his basketball career, both as
a player and coach. AS a forward he

six flights of stairs. Negotiating
them had most of the rigors of climb
ing a rope ladder; they were virtual

they squeaked and groaned so that
my friend woke up whenever the
Belgian saxophonist returned home
from his night club job at dawn.
He had, of course, no steam heat.
A small fireplace in his room fur

Miller To Call Cagers
For Drills During This
Week At High School

Basketball drills at Henderson high
school for boys and girls will begin
sometime this week, according to an
announcement from Coach L. L. Mil
ler athletic director.
Early drills have been delayed, due
to the inability of securing back
boards and goals for the new gym
nasium. Miller stated the equipment
has been ordered, but had not been
received, and that he was going to
use temporary equipment until the
official ones arrived.
The mentor expects a large crowd
of boys and girls to respond to the
opening call, but he was not able to
say today, whether he would handle
the boys and the girls alone, or
whether the girls will be coached by
some other member of the faculty.
