This is the theory, the motiva-
ting spirit, behind the art of Cyrus
e. Dallin, one Of the foremost
sculptors Of America.
His work demonstrates his
theory. All Of his great Indian
models express q great emotion,
not only the feeling Of single indi-
vidual, but the emotion Of q nation.
His other work has a similar inSpi-
ration.
Dallin is the best known for his
Indian sculpture. He knows the
Indians, their life, their character
istics, their aims, AS a boy, his
playmateS were the Indians Of
Utah. He grew to have a great af-
lection for them and since his
earliest excursions into art, has
immortalized his boyhood friends
in stone.
At the Corcoran Gallery, there is
a special exhibition Of Dallin
bronzeS, all Of them Indian models.
Two Of the bronzes on exhibition
are from a series of four Indian
statues carved by the artist to de-
pict the stages Of Indian life since
the coming Of the white man to
this country.
The first Of this series is known
as "The Signal of Peace" symbol
izing the red mans early trust Of
the white man. The original Of
this statue is in Chicago. The sec
ond is 1.-THE Medicine Man." signal
ing the Indians warning to the
white mans aggression, which is in
Fairmount Park in Philadelphia.
"The Protest" is the third. 1t
illustrates the defiance Of the
Indians and lastly, the most
famous Of the four, Is "The Ap-
peal to the Great Spirit" the
statue that Is the Indians ad-
mission that they represent a
dying race. This last stands be-
fore the Museum Of Fine Arts
in Boston.
Of these four, 'The Appeal to
the Great Spirit" and "The
Medicine Man" are shown in
bronze in the Corcoran exhibi-
ton.

Involved Lives
And Loves

An up-to-date story about a fash
ionable gown shop in New York is
the gist of '"The Windy HILL"
It involves primarily the live5 Of
four people: Debbie Towne, who
has fallen in love with Gerald Muir
dock; Phil Van Kirk, who has
fallen in love with Debbie; Gay
Clifford, who is in love with Phil,
and Murdock. To make it exceed
ingly hard to unscramle this one,
the author mixes them all up in
the business venture Of making
Madam Murdock'S dresSmaking
establishment a go.
A complete outline Of the dress
making business from needles to
pins is included. Then, Of course,
there is the inevitable trip to
Paris and a couple Of sketches of
Kinney Ritchie, a small town
dressmaker, as she pretty near
sums up the situation and pro-
Vides q solution while plodding
along with her mouth full Of pins

Dead Man
Manor

As the title Dead Man Manor
gives a rough idea Of what to ex-
pect this time from the pen Of
Valentine Williams. the opening
chapter sets the background for a
battling mystery that viii hold the
reader to the end.
Unusual detectives are always a
lure to the inveterate mystery
reader and Mr.. Treadgold is just
that. A word picture Of him prob
ably doesn't do him at all justice,
but it is the mixture in his person
ality that makes this character
real. He collects stamps and solves
crimes.
OF course it's not as easy as it
sounds because he uses just as
much patience in solving the crime
as he does in examining his col
lection.
When mysterious things began
to happen in the old st. Remy
ancestral home, Mr. Treadgold
got himself mixed UP in them al
most at the first. AS it turned out
his assistant came in mighty
handy when it came to finding OUT
who committed the murder and
why. Take q nice quiet spot and

ton for that bored feeling.

These miniatures, taken from
the pages Of Q Persian manu-.
script Of the Sixteenth century.
are among the finest examples
Of Iranian art Of that period.
Painted to illustrate a Persian
political paper, the Ball and the
Mallet, by Arifi Of Herat, the
paintings illustrate the game of
polo, which was at its height Of
popularity at that time.
That polo was the sport Of
kings" as our own horse racing
now is, is illustrated by the verse,
entitled "The Kings Polo Pony
which accompanies the paint
ings:
"The king Of the denizens of the
earth Muhamed, whose
throne Is the sun, whose
cushion Is the moon,
'The king for whom, when he
lifts his playing stick, the
moon becomes the bali and
Heaven the playing field;
':sWhat time he throws his leg
over the saddle he raises
the dust from the ter
reStrial sphere,
when his spur excites the
horse thou would'st say
that fire mingled with the
wind.
when the kings polo pony Is
at gallop it snatches away
the ball from the steed Of
heaven;
eff he did not restrain it in its
leaping it would overshoot
the goal Of Heaven:

spiration it Is like rain with
lightning in its midst;

while the whirlwind clings
to, its tail"

SO it is with this, her first novel

Reed has some fine streaks Of
high comedy and many an ironic
twist but its core Is made of sober
stuff.
Briefly, Miss West sets out to
show what happens to q young
woman who seeks peace in spite Of
surrounding violence and disorder.
The woman is young and wealthy
and rational. Her manners are
practically perfect yet she finds it
necessary to meet violence with

destroys all she holds worth while.
Her setting is what the book

Davis started the shooting, Dean
said.
Dean was Enthusiastically calm
as he related details of the killing.
Officials said he told how the
Black LegionnaireS had duped the
Detroit colored man into accom-

into the marShland and wounded
him, and then while the victim,
like wild wounded animal, had
plunged into the swamp to escape

ing Snow Emergency.

Plans to carry to a higher court the
decision holding the Commissioners
lack authority to set up emergency
snow regulations banning automobile
parking on certain streets at time,
when no actual snow emergency
exists, were mapped yesterday by the
corporation counsel's Office immediate
ly after Police Court Judge Gus A.
Schuldt handed down the ruling in a
memorandum opinion.
Judge Schuldt's decision, his last
official act before retirement, dis
missed four charges of violation of the
no-parking ban against Charles E.
Ford, attorney.
Through Attorney Joseph Donohue,
Ford contended that since there was
no snow on the ground when tickets
were placed on his car on Sixteenth
street, there could be no violation.
Judge Schuldt concurred in this
opinion.
Steps were taken by Vernon West,
acting corporation counsel, and his
assistant, George D. Nelson, to bring
other cases to trial before another
Judge in an effort to get conviction
or have a case quashed. In this way
they hope to be able to take the
matter to the United States Court of
Appeals for the District.
Nelson pointed out that if the Dis
trict loses out in the fight to retain
the regulation, thousands of dollars
might have to be returned to persons
who posted collateral.

FARLEY AGAIN REJECTS
AIRMAIL BASE TRANSFER

For the second time, Postmaster
General Farley yesterday rejected the
application of New York City for
transfer of the airmail base for the
metropolis to Floyd Bennett Airport,
municipal field, from Newark Airport.
Farley ruled that the cost of ham
ding mail between Floyd Bennett and
New York twas prohibitive or excessive
for the mail service rendered. He es-
timated the increased annual cost to
the Post Office Department would be
s120 900 If trucks were used from the
airport to the post office, and $4,000
if the subway were used.
The Postmaster General also said
New York mail can be handled more
quickly from Newark Airport and that,
If unfavorable weather compels cancel
lation of flights, mail can be trained
from Newark, but not from Floyd Ben
nett.
While Newark Airport ranks as the
worlds busiest flying field, $4,000, 600
