In the city there was one report
of breaking lights at 18th and
Broadway, and three boys were
booked.
The reports in the morning
showed one call to 3003 So. 40th
where police pulled the switch on
a house left vacant with lights
! on.
Police booked a John Thomas
at the city Jail shortly before mid
night Monday night for drunken
ness and investigation after he
chased an afraid warden away
from his house with an ak and
knife. The warden was George
Rice of 1928 Fawcett.
State patrol officers also de-
clared the blsckout a success in
the area under their Jurisdiction.
They promptly stopped all ord
mary passenger traffic, forced
drivers off the road and required
them to turn off all lights.
Busses Use Dim Lights
Interstate buses and transports
were allowed to go through, the
trucks BACKED out and the pas
senger buses put on their own
to use the dimmest possible lights
they would need for safety.
Some provision may be made
later to allow blue lights with top
visors.
The patrol reported few COM
plants and no accidents during
the IL p. m. to dawn period.
In outlying districts civilian de-
Tense deputies joined the city
forces to extend the blackout far
and wide. Puyallup, Sumner and
other valley towns and farms were
well tucked In for the night,
heavily blanketed in lower regions
by fog.
When one ambitious farmer de-
cideed danger had passed and
turned on lights in his COW barn
he had to be told. three times. that,
milking or no milking, lights were
to be out.
Boy Scouts Volunteer
Boy Scouts did their part in
promoting the successful blackout
in Larchmont and neighboring
districts. Patrols were organized
at important intersections and al
though the boys were to be off
duty" shortly after the blackout
WAS accomplished, they volun-
teered their services for the night
along with Scout Master James
Phillips and his assistant, c. r.
Bowlin.
Probably the earliest traffic &C.
cident of the blackout. few min-
utes after IL o'clock. was a minor
collision on this scout patrols beat.

Ironical was the binding blink
ing of one store front where in

States flags emblazoned with God
Bless America" Watchmen in this
area tried frantically to contact
the owner but were unsuccessful.

Yale ReceiDeS
 Art Collection

The Societe Anonyme, Inc, through its trustees, Miss Katherine s. Dreier of West Bedding and Marcel DuchaInp of Paris, has pre- sented to Yale University its varied collection of modern art, President Charles Seymour announced today. The collection, assembled over the past twenty years, comprises more than 450 items by 130 artists from IT different countries.
 Not limited to any one school, the Societe Anonyme Collection rep- resentS every phase of 20th cen- tury painting, from the CuhiS1n, Fu- tur1snn and Expressionism of the years before and during the Great War, through Dadaistn, ConStructiv- ism and Neo-P -PlasticiSn to the Sur- realism and Abstract Art of the present. Among the earliest pie lures are distractions by Kandin- sky painted in 1910; among the lat- est is a painting by Matta done this year. The media represented range from the conventional oil, watercolor, pen and ink, wood en- graving and etching, to such unex- pected materials as glass, celluloid and zinc.
 According to Theodore Sizer, di- rector of the Yale Art Gallery, ale most every outstanding modern ar- tist Is represented in the collec- ton. Some of these-Kandinsk Klee, de Chirico, Leger, Max Ernst, Archipenko, Gleizes and Gris-are well known and highly prized in this country. Others, although less familiar to the Americans, are of equal importance and perhaps the more interesting because of their extreme rarity. The collection Is important not only for it's rich va- riety and high quality but for the great part it has played in the for- nation of American taste.
 Miss Dreier, herself an artist of ability, with the great French paint CT Marcel Duchamp and the dis tinguished American photographer Man Ray, founded the Societe Anonyr1e, the first organization to promote modern art in this country, in 1920. Among its activities from that date to the present have been 84 exhibitions and the 3l loan ex- hibitions in the museums of Brook lyn, Sprigntield, Worcester, Balti- more, Chicago, and San Francisco and Vassar, Bennington and Black Mountain Colleges, the College Art association, the Universities of Min nesota, Chicago and Wisconsin, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Sesquicentennial Exposi- ton and the Chicago Worlds Fair, The Societe Anonyme was most ac- tive in the 1920'S when the battle for modern art was at its height in this country. The pictures have an historic importance in the develop ment of the appreciation of new forms of art in America.
 The pictures and sculpture will not be on public exhibition till the latter part of the winter, when they have been catalogued and studied After that time a section of the col- lection will be on view, and many of the pictures will continue tour. iIIg the country in cooperation witt exhibitions arranged by other mil- seums. A complete descriptive catalogue of the entire collection iS at present in the course of prepara. ton.
