Art Galleries Sprout
Forth in the Spring.
Art galleries are sprouting UP like
spring dandelions, one OF the latest
being the Georgetown gallssies, in q
funny little old house on Wisconsin
avenue, with little step ups and downs
between all the rooms-four rooms we
saw--and a crooked stairway leading
up to the second fioor-such a stair
way as Charles Dickens must have
crept up when he was little boy and
went to lodge in the ramshackle old
building down near the Debtors Prison
in London, where his father and fam
lily were being held for debt. Charles
knew a lot about the sufferings and
deprivations Of the people whom he
made immortal. He was able to pic
ture the misery in one paragraph and
the intense righteousness of the situa-
ton in the next, and thus brought
about great reforms.

Most Important Silver Exhibit
At the Metropolitan.
There is still running through our
subconsious mind that superb COL
lection of ancient silver which was
being exhibited at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York a week
or two ago-and is doubtless still
there. We did not hear whether or
not it was to be travelling exhibit
1t Is so invaluable-but If 1t Is we
hope the Corcoran Galleries will have
an opportunity to show it here. Or
perhaps it would be the National
Museum.
1t has been through the cooperation
OF leading European museums as well
as noted private collectors here and
abroad that the Metropolitan was
able to arrange what is believed to be
the most important exhibition Of rare
antique French silver ever brought
together in this country. 1t appears
that 50 large a proportion Of old
French silver has gone into the melt
ing pot during the centuries because
of changes in taste and various CON
f1scatory edicts" that it is q rarity in
the market and only a small amount
is found in American collections.
Ogden Mills Collection
Particularly Fine.
Mr.. Ogden Mills, sometimes Secre-
tary of the Treasury, bequeathed five
great silver salvers illustrating the
sequence Of styles from 1735 TO 1885.
There are something like 20 examples
of antique British silver in the Mills
collection. Mr.. j. p. Morgan has q

the &tv1anS Are
North American Conscious.
What the Minister and Mime. Bill
manis are interested in Just now is
trip in July, through the Panama
Canal and the Central American re-
publics. The Latvians are certainly
North American conscious for the Sec
retary of the Legation is taking in the
West this summer and others of the
staff are exploring the eastern part
of the States.
The Minister says his trip to the
Central American states is simply
one OF pleasure as he is much in
terested geographically in the little
republics to the south, and Is anxious
to visit the ruins and excavations in
Yucatan; to know more of the arts
and crafts as we'll as the industries
and agricultural features of the coun-
tries.
Latvia, the jewel of the Baltic, is
an agricultural country, yet has made
wonderful strides forward in rejuven-
ating its ancient arts and music. His
excellency drew himself up to his full
height as he spoke of the balanced
budget Of the little republic of a
few million people; of the workman
and old-age pensions-the special
fund of 100000 lately established,
and the supplementary sums from
the health insurance co-operatives, the
help received by the farmers, the
schools, the export trade, the hous-
ing and all those things the big
countries Of Europe and the United
States are planning for today. OF
course Mr.. Hopkins and Secretary
Wallace would look upon the appro-
priations of the smaller countries as
lion would look at a mouse, but by
comparison they are wonderful.
Latvia Boasts a Fine

The LAtvian Minister and Nine. Bilmanis,
when down at Palm Beach last winter, were
enchanted with the Jungle Gardens and confess
they were captivated by Napoleon and Josephine,
whose afectionate regard they won by feeding
them lemon drops. Napoleon, who was lord Of
the monkey cage, having what the French might
call haut-gout, took to the pungency of the drops
with zest and sometimes permitted Josephine
with no thought of future divorce-to take
a nibble now and then. DR.. Bilmanis actually
saw Josephine smile. He was delighted because
ne had usually found monkeys looking sad-he
thought because they were monkeys-but the

glee when he gave them lemon drop.

I assume that the reason the
Lions and Rams. like the Red
skins, were overwhelmed was that
once they found themselves falling
behind. they threw caution to the
winds In desperate effort to get
back into the ball game. In
other words. they threw passes
deep in their own territory which
they never would have thrown
had the score been close. and
the enemy capitalized upon in
Perceptions. Ironically. several of
the Bears touchdowns were made
possible because we were trying
to score.
Sundays games once again
demonstrated the folly of trying
to prove anything by comparative
scores. Earlier in the season we
had slaughtered Cleveland, 34-13,
and Cleveland beat the Bears
twice. Brooklyn, which on the
face of two tie games with us
appears no better than the Red
skins. trounces the Eagles by a
margin nearly three times as
wide as the one by which We
beat Philadelphia in either game.
Lastly, there is the example of
the Green Bay-Detroit rivalry
which is. I hope, a good omen for
us. Only last month Detroit
beat Green Bay. 17-7, on the
Packers home grounds. Sunday,

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-The jostling,
crowded football race to the cham
pionship of the Big Ten Conference
comes down the final stretch this
week with three teams-possibly
five-driving toward shares in the
most jumbled title picture in the
leagues history.
1t will be blanket finish-it must
be that-as four contenders battle
to the wire at Madison and at Co.
lumbus. These are the things that
can happen:
If Ohio State defeats Michigan
the Buckeyes will divide the title
with whichever team wins the Wis
consin- Minnesota game. If the Buck
eyes win, and the game at Madi-
son ends In a tie, It's Ohio States
championship all alone.
But Ohio State may fail to win.
II that comes to pass-either a
Michigan victory or a tie game at
Columbus-the winner Of the Wis
consin-Minnesota game takes the
crown,
Nor do the possibilities stop there,
for the possibility of Wisconsin,
Minnesota tie is always in the pic
ture. Should that tie come, and
Michigan defeat Ohio State, then
Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Purdue, if the Boilermakers defeat
Indiana, will all be tied

come to pass, but, off what hap

The varsity captain, 180 pounds
OF superlative end, has played out

Wingmen he had seen perform this

Powell is a three-year veteran on

Hall, a 6-foot 1-inch, 195-pound
back of Tunica, Miss, who runs.
punts and passes with almost equal
ability, is credited largely with fur
nishing that extra something which
has sent the Rebels through the
current season with but one defeat
up to date.
In the eight games played he has
gained 1,141 yards running and 693
yards passing. and has an almost
unbelievable average gain of 90
yards for each time he has handled
the ball
In addition, he is leading scorer
In the Southeastern Conference with
total OF 81 points-l0 touchdowns
and points from tries after touch
downs. He has thrown eight touch
down passes.
Best Punt Goes 73 Yards.
Hall, now in his senior year. and
his teammates face another test to-
morrow when they meet Arkansas
of the Southwest Conference, but
followers of Hall are confident that
he will come through.
His best punt of the year-for
73 yards-came in a game with
Louisiana Tech, and his hackers
claim he completed the longest pass
of the season last Saturday against
SeWanee, 62-yard heave to Ham
Murphy, end, for a touchdown.
Thus far his longest run from
scrimmage with a 60-yard sprint
down the sidelines for a score
against Centenary.
OF course Hall, good as he is, has
plenty of support from his team
mates, and Head Coach Harry
Mehre, who came to Ole Miss this
year from the University of Geor-
gia, is given his share of credit for
the teams showing.
Three More Games to Play.
Mehre, who teaches the Notre

the best in the Southeastern Foot
