Kenyon Cox, In defense OF the
story telling picture, once wrote that
for such to be significant they must
not be subjectively trivial and they
must be we'll done. The old masters,
he pointed out, had practically all
painted pictures which told stories,
but they had conformed to this rule
and expended in the doing their full
measure of artistry.
One of the most famous of the
18th century French paintings in
the Corcoran Gallery of Art is The
Passing Regiment" by Detaille-a
wartime picture showing q regiment
of French soldiers passing through
Paris en- route to the front. This
was executed in 1875 and shown in
the Paris Exposition Of that year
Aside from its subjective significance
it is an outstanding city picture,
transcribing for all time the atmos-
phere of the place representative
houses, the people along the side
walks, the light and atmosphere.
Also it gives indication OF onward
movement. There can be no COM
parison between this and photo
graph. Detaille was a pupil of
Meissonier, but was never as meticu-
lous as his master. The Passing
Regiment" is one OF his greatest
works.
"The Brittany Widow"
More academic in treatment but
at the same time sound and fine is
the painting of Brittany Widow" j"
by Jules Breton, who was perhaps
inclined at times to be q bit over
sentimental in his depletion of
French peasants, but in this instance
shows himself as both capable and
sincere. Likewise. the lovely little
picture of Joan of Arc in Infancy
is to be numbered among the best
works of Henner.
It was to Paris that toward the
latter part of the 18th century all
the world went for instruction in art
Sargent studied there under ,Carolus
Duran: Cecilia Beaux in the Acad-
emy Julian. In fact 1t would be
difficult to name prominent painter
of that time and well into the goth
century who did not get his or her
training under the outstanding mas
tiers Of the conservative and Official
French school. Thus our American
art Of its best period reflected the art
of the salons rather than that OF
the Avenue des Capucines.
The exceptions to this rule are SO

INFORMATION AS TO
SUGAR STAMP NO. 8

Retailers were cautioned last week
against accepting any ration stamps
other than No. for sales of sugar
during the month of October. Mr..
J. o. Byrd, Chairman of Worcester
County War Price and Rationing
Board, said there was some confus-
ion among consumers and retailers
as to the period covered by the No.
s stamp.
He pointed out that No. g stamp is
good through October 81. The i'm
preston Of some retailers and con-
sumers was that the stamp expired
on September 80. This is incorrect.
The value of the No. stamp was
set at five pounds of sugar for the
ten-week period beginning August
% and ending October 81.

RESIDENT OF POCOMOKE

On December s, 1871, across the
harbor in the hills of Kowloon, Jap
anese guns opened fire on the Island
Of Hong Kong, this being our first
knowledge Of the fact that war was
at hand. Their planes followed,
searching out military detectives,
more frequently missing than hitting
the points sought. Hong Kong's resi-
Dental section is built on what is
called "The Peak" or a series of hills
accessible by tramway and excellent
roads, whereas its business district
is on the harbor level From points
of vantage on the peak our guns re-
sponded - anti-aircraft and long
range,-but unfortunately no planes
were available, and only one small
gunboat represented the navy. Thus
began a battle in which we were
poorly equipped throughout its dura-
tion-a period of eighteen days-un-
til Hong Kong surrendered on Christ

der would bring no festivities for us,
