Stories of the Masters
PETER BREUGHEL

a small, quiet and skillful man who
spoke little, but was sociable in society
and loved to frighten his companions
with all kinds of goblin noises" His
brides mother, overlooking the goblin
noises, not entirely convinced as to
his quietness, and suspicious of a man
''sociable in society" stipulated in the
marriage contract that Breughel must
leave Antwerp and settle in Brussels
with his wife "in order that he might
efface his former love affairs from his
eyes and mind
He left Antwerp as per agreement,
with the daughter of his first master,
Pieter Cock. When she was child
he had carried her about in his arms,
and now she was his bride and was
to be his wife until his death, six
years after their marriage.
Pieter Breughel founded a dynasty
of painters. His two sons produced
copies and variations of their fathers
masterpieces in such numbers and
with such excellence and fidelity that
scarcely museum in Europe is with
out fair example" of Pieter Breu-
ghel the Elder. These sons, in their
turn, sired dozen more painters. For
all that We know there are Breughels
painting today, but none thus far has
approached the greatness of their
small, silent progenitor.
The practical joker who earned for
himself the title of Pieter the Droll
painted in the short span of his life
he died at 40-countless canvases.
Among them were religious compost
tions, peasant scenes, realistic works,
snowy landscapes with figures in bold
relief and diableries.
His Wonder of Wonders"
A wonder of wonders is his famous
"The ISraelite and the Philistines," q
panel 13 by % inches. Within this
1nfinitesimal space Breughel painted
several hundred figures, the largest of
which is less than ~ inches in height.
And all of this in a landscape of
great beauty. Each figure and every
smallest detail of the landscape take
their place in true perspective. 1t is
a remarkable example of craftsman
ship and art. 1t is minute workman
ship at its finest. Yet Breughel was
conscious of the weakness of dividing
the interest of the observer among a
hundred amusing and faultlessly
drawn bits on single canvas, for
he always insisted upon strong unity
in his design
If we are to believe reports, Breughel
had a slight attack of repentance
on his deathbed. He begged his wife
to burn his most satirical and mordant
inventions, but whether it was really
repentance or the fear that she might
be endangered through having them
in her possession, we can only guess.
At any rate. they were burned-duti-
fully and disastrously.
The above painter is among 48
great masters whose pictures are
offered in reproduction form by this
newspaper-48 masterpieces in original
colors. They are divided into IL sets
OF four, one set week for only 80
cents. Each weeks set contains a
lesson in art appreciation, and persons
who obtain all IL weekly sets will get

HOOVER D|SCLA|MS
|DES|RE FOR OFFICE.
Former Presidents Re-
marks Interpreted as Set
ting RumorSS at Rest.
(Tert OF speech on Page A-11.J
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

ID os oOO1D LtENtOLNs
Herbert Hoover's declaration in Bos-
ton last night that Il do not want
any public Office" was interpreted to-
day as declaration he was not a can
didate for the presidential nomination
in 1910.
While the former President did not
say, in so many words, under no cir
cumstances will I accept a nominal
ton for the presidency" his an
nouncement was clearly made for one
purpose. That was to set at rest re-
ports he was seeking TO win the Re-
publican nomination. And certainly
Mr.. Hoover's statement was as effect
i've as that of the late President Cool
idge, who announced sinbly. Il do not
choose to run"-and he didn't run.
Some Republicans here believe the
atmosphere could be clarified still fur
ther if former Gov. ALT M. Landon of
Kansas, the standard-bearer in 1886,
should make an announcement also
that he would not seek the presiden-
tial nomination. In private conversa-
ton Mr.. Landon has said he has no
idea of becoming a candidate, or that
the Republicans would renominate
him.
Mr.. Hoover's speech was delivered
before the Republican Club Of MaSsa-
chusetts. Throughout his address ran
an earnesO argument for a gathering
next year of Republican leaders, in
national conference or convention, to
adopt a set of guiding principles and
policies. Mr.. Hoover has favored such
a gathering for some time, and the
Republican National Committee Is TO
act on the suggestion at a meeting in
Chicago November 5.
Warns Against Waiting.
The former President warned Re-
publicans that it was not enough
merely to stand and wait until the
New Deal should hang itself. He re-
called that the old Whig party adopted
such waiting policy when confronted
with issues that were shaking the
country to its foundations-and faded
out of the picture.
His address was halted so frequently
by applause that he was compelled TO
bid his radio audience good-by be-
fore he reached the end of his speech.
Discusses Own Part.
Discussing his own part in the effort
to revive the c.. o. p and answering
charges that he is trying to advance
his own interests through the prof.
aoted national r1eetinp the former
President said:
Before go further (not that it is
of any Importance, but just TO keep
the air clean), let me repeat once again
that I do not want any public office.
I shall keep on fighting for those
things vital to the American people.
The former President inserted into
his prepared address an admonition
against delaying the declaration OF
principles until 1910.
1T should be remembered" he said,
that a national convention is busy
chiefly with selecting candidate.
You cannot send 48 men and women
into a room at $50 at night and tell
them to draft a platform before $3.50
in the morning and expect to obtain a
satisfactory result. Particularly is this
so when the platform drafters are be-
sieged by lobbyists from the corridors
outside.
What want is an intellectual ses-
sion of the party"

models for this conception.

Over the pipe organ At the rear
OF the chapel are inscribed the words
Of the first Christian hymn ever sung,

A Greek inscription in the form Of

or forward to this effect, Wash
away sins, not the face only" en-
circles the baptismal font near the
organ.

Scripture, "Thou shall call His name

Mary received from the angel when he
revealed to her that she was to be the
