PHOENIXVILLE, Pa, Nov. 90
Rioting broke out today in a little
cemetery at Mont Clare between two
factions in st. Michael's Catholic
Church as one group sought to pre-
vent the other from burying its dead.
Attorney Robert Truckness of Nor
fistown said the disorder arose over
. dispute about holding religious
services for the dead in the cemetery.
Pallbearers had removed the body
Of 65-year-old Michael Gulumbo from
the hearse when the violence began.
Men fought hand-to-hand and women
welded umbrellas. Stones were
thrown.
In his vestments. the Rev. Albert
Hoynak, head of the Greek Catholic
faction stood beside the coffin. He
appealed in vain for peace and 81
lence.
The Rev. Michael Moskov, assistant
rector for the Roman Catholic fac
tion, summoned police. Meanwhile
the disorder subsidized and the coffin
was lowered.
Thickness said under truce be-
tween the factions the Greek group
had the right to bury the man in the
plot Of ground he owned. However,
he said, the group had been advised
against holding services.
For some time the factions have
been involved In q dispute over au-
thority In the church. Recently a
court ruled that the Rev. John Paw
livk, the Roman Catholics head
should have complete charge Of the

Madame de Pompadour."
Madame de Pompadour," by Fran

enchanting woman who was educated
for the curious goal of becoming
kings mistress When Louis XIV saw
her he became infatuated with her,
and she ruled him and France until
her death at AZ. She led her nation
away from the policies of Richelieu
and into an alliance with Austria,
causing the Seven Years War which
was so disastrous for France. Boucher
was the most sensuous Of painters in

us to the boudoirs of the courtesans
Of the nobility Of France. He was
highly prosperous as q court painter
until David, whose early career he
aided, became dictator of French art
under Napoleon and destroyed the
popularity Of Boucher who died in
poverty. Today, however, he is es-
teemed as the man Of the century,

When his critics derided him, sug-

one style, he attempted to confound
them by painting in the grand man

works Of the Renaissance masters.
Inspired. he returned to Paris and
painted pretentious historical PAN

however, and his critics were proved
right. Alongside the panorama, one

Girl With q Marmot," by Frago-

nowned court painter to Louis XIV, was
kept busy painting voluptuous scenes
of love and seduction. Nine. du Barry
set the fashion for the whole pleasure
loving court by decorating her boudoir
with his paintings. He began his
career as law clerk, but his genius
for art brought him to the studio of
Francois Boucher in Paris. He sur
passed his master. When the people
of France rose against the profligate
monarchy, they included the court
painter Fragonard. and he was forced
to return to Grasse. his home. There
he turned to simpler subject matter.
The Girl With Marmot" was prob
ably painted during this period. This
simplicity and his rich, tender color,
altogether his own, form his special
contribution to French painting ard
make him a vital figure even today.
He was poor and forgotten when he
died in Paris In 1906.

1t is sheer vanity to wonder what
Andrew Carnegie would have thought
about modern art, but those who were
privileged to know him will be ant to
protest against the use of one of his
great endowments to reward esthetic
anarchy. The celebrated Scot philan-
thropist, however, was possessed of a
ready sense of humor, and it follows
that he might have been stirred to
prodigious laughter at the spectacle of
himself as posthumous patron OF crazy
painting" Such an outlandish contra
diction probably would have amused him
because of its manifest ludicrousness.
His friends, however. may be excused
II they are solemnly indignant. Mr..
Carnegie was builder of civilization,
not wrecker. 1t, therefore, is a viola

less than 59,282 statutes. and in conse-
quence our statute books are "bulging
with bad, outworn, moldy laws" No
other nation, he declares. lis 80 ridden
to death by legislation"
For a one-man Job, it would seem, Mr..
Barton has cut out a big task The
electorate OF the seventeenth district of
New York may not be stirred by his hero
ism and may pass him over in favor OF
some one who picks out certain pro-
posal, which he pledges himself to write
upon the statute books. Voters are, as a
rule, more interested in positive than in
negative propositions.
But it is undeniable that there are
many laws on the books of this Nation
which ought to be repealed. Some of
them have been outmoded, some have
been ignored and never enforced, some
have been tried and found lacking in
essentials OF merit or of practicability.
Once in while some champion of q
cause, finding statute in the way of a
reform or new mode of administration,
goes after that particular law and gets
it eliminated, but this is rarely of any
valuable effect
A good many of the laws that now
cucumber the books, without benefit to
the country, and some with positive detri-
ment, were passed in the form of riders" 4"
occasionally on appropriation bills, which
have right of way and which are used
as vehicles for the enactment of general
legislation, often mischievous in char
acter. Mr.. Barton's reading of the COM
piled statutes will doubtless include this
usually pernicious form of legislation. To
disentangle these extraneous items from
the body of the fiscal laws will require
an especially painstaking research. 1t is
much more than a one-man job, and
however capable Mr.. Barton may be
and he is very capable person indeed
1t may be doubted if he is equal to the
task which he has set for himselfy if he
should be nominated and elected on a
repeal platform. Several score of such
crusaders for simplicity and soundness
in the statutory system Of the United
States will be required to effect results
beneficial to the Nation.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

ing in the raw" on the hottest Summer
nights know how easily it is to get pains
in muscles by the procedure. Many
have given up the experiment, since
the only alternative was to put the win
dows down, an almost insufferable thing
on hot night.
In cold weather. however, 1t is per-
fectly possible to keep all windows
closed. If this sounds like heresy' to
some fresh-air enthusiasts let them try
1t before speaking.
The proper way is to "air" out the
room before bedtime.
This is very old way of doing things,
but like so many older procedures, has
world of common sense in it..
1t is really much better sleeping than
to shiver beneath mountain of blan-
kets and comforts while fresh winds
blow across the face.
1t is particularly applicable to all
those persons who like to think of them
selves, from long experience, as cold
blooded"
While their terminology is not cor
rect, the main idea behind it is emf
nently so; that is, these persons really
they should not attempt to stand.
Let us give them credit, therefore, for
knowing themselves.
If there is any merit in the extremely
old saying, first put into words by the
Greeks, and later phrased succinctly
by Alexander Pope. that one ought to

They know themselves, and Just how
much fresh air. which really means

We hope that nothing said here will
be construed by any one as against
fresh air.
There is no question but that man
was made to exist in comletely fresh
air, day and night.
But many centuries have intervened
between the man of that ideal, and the
man of modern civilization.
Especially in America, where house
heating has become a science, we are
very far, indeed, from the type of long
ago.
This creature of modern days cannot
expose himself to 90 degrees all day long,
in home. office and places of entertain
ment. and then calmly breathe very cold
air all night long-unless, of course, he
takes precautions to defect drafts by
proper screens.
If he cannot or will not do this. he
may find that keeping the windows down
entirely is really better for him.
X
If he has not tried this, he may be
surprised to know that a great many
persons have been practicing it for years
without saying much about it.
The latter knew that to speak of it
was simply to invite criticism from the
