Tonogru Treasures

T.
tions of classic figurines to be seen
anywhere in the world are on display
at the Corcoran Gallery of Art A
room on the ground floor recently
has been rearranged and redecorated
for their accommodation. They con-
stitute an important part of the COL
lection of the late Senator William
Andrews Clark of Montana and COM
| pare favorably with similar treas
ures possessed by the museums of
Paris, London, Berlin, New York and
| Boston.
A flgurine technically is described
as miniature example of ancient
| picto-Sculpture." The material Of
which most of them were made is
terra Gotta. About a thousand diff
ferent pieces" have been recovered
from excavations in the neighbor-
hood of the old city of Tanagra in
Boeotia in Northern Greece. The
earliest were found in 1884 or 1885.
Professional judges of souvenirs Of
antiquity greeted them with unac-
customed enthusiasm. For perfection
OF artistry, faithfulness to nature and
care in execution, they were consid-
cred to surpass everything of their
kind previously known. Mary F.
Curtis, writing in 1879, set forth a
final verdict when she said: THE
inspiration which has animated this
clay emanated from a center of the
most refined invention, and skillful
fingers fashioned it by precepts of
traditional culture. The works
= in question give us the
actual costume of their period with
fidelity, and, in the features and
gestures OF their personages, they
transcribe countless shades and
phases of thoroughly human senti-
ment. These sympathetic and natu-
raj charms are not confined to any
place or time, and consequently an
element of undying youth and fresh
ness has been secured. The
physical resemblances, like the make
Of the garments, are not closely local
lied. They have been disseminated
equally in all quarters of the globe.
Hence the astonishingly modern
aspect of these models and relics of
the past"
The Tanagra fgurines are statu-
cites of women and girls more COM
monty than Of men and boys. In
dimensions, they range from six to
twelve inches in height. Each of
them originally was "colored from
head to foot in delicate tints." Gar
ments were done in pale rose, red,
Egyptian blue. "The flesh" is lightly
tinted, the cheeks rouged, the lips
also Redeemed, the pupil of the eye
tinged with pale blue or gray, the
eye elongated as by the use of henna,
and the eyebrows defined by slender
line. The hats, fans, bracelets,
eardrops, and other numerous acces-
sories are generally gilded. In
all cases, the hair is of a golden
brown or red auburn"
OF the 63 more important pieces
in the Corcoran Gallery, some are
as early as the eighth century before
Christ, others as late as the second
Nobody can testify with assurance
as to the characters they portray;
but certain works have been supposed
to represent Aphrodite and other
goddesses of the Hellenic pantheon.
Several were broken in transit to
Washington, but they have been re-
paired without the use of new mate
rials or any attempt at concealment
of the fractures. The whole display
Is worthy Of study as gratifying
recreation in such a season of stress
as now prevails.

ally has gradually increased.
Professional women are pioneering in
many lines. There are woman dentists,
lecturers, travel bureau assistants. IL
brarians, telegraphers, guides. postal
employees, editors and lawyers. Some
are proprietors Of sewing and embroid-
cry establishments and some have taken
charge of farms upon the death Of their
husbands. They have even encroached
upon the territory OF the public scribes
in the mosque yards, where the only
equipment they need is typewriter.
In a few cases there are public
spirited women who work, despite the
fact that their husbands are amply
able to support them. They are not
ashamed to have a profession and are
rather in advance Of the usual European
idea. There is no place for Lucy Stone
League in Turkey, for each woman is
known by her maiden name, according
to the custom of the country.
Welfare work also has attracted many
women, who aid the Turkish Hearth
Society community enterprises, or the
Red Crescents effort to provide hot
meals for poor school children, or the
Child Protection Society's dispensary
and milk stations.
Twenty years have worked wonders,
but most significant of all. perhaps, is
the fact that it is now unpopular in the
Near East to oppose education for wom-
en-. That gives women in Turkey an
assurance that their future is safe, and
from now on 1t is case Of building well
and wisely upon the solid foundation Of
Independence which they have won.

Hundreds Of French Youths

BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, April "a
correspondent for the Courier de
Geaeve yesterday said hundreds of
French youths still were hiding in
the mountains of Haute Savoie near
the Swiss frontier. where they were
fed by peasants who look on them
as "beacons OF general resistance"
The correspondent, after making

that elsewhere in France. where
geography is less favorable than in
the Alps. partisans are in no way
lessening their struggle against the
German occupants.
Both sides, for obvious reasons,
prefer to maintain silence" the dis
patch said, adding that the partisans
were forcing occupation troops to
keep day an dnight guard on rail
networks. All demonstrations and
resistance were declared motivated
by the expectancy of Allied invasion,
which most Frenchmen believe i'm

and not when he enters the portal
of the mine Mr. Lewis is demand
ing a specific increase for under
ground travel time, which the miners
say averages an hour and half a
day.
A recent Circuit Court decision in
New Orleans found that under
ground travel time in iron ore mines
was working time.
Mr.. Lewis has used this to but
tress his argument. Lawyers gen.
orally concede it gives him moral
support. but are not agreed on the
legal support it affords him. The
court action was brought under the
wage and hour law which has to do
with minimum wages and maximum
hours. The mine workers are paid
we'll in excess of the legal minimum.
Their basis work week is IS hours,
or five hours short of the point at
which time and half rates begin
under the law. The question is
whether Mr. Lewis can invoke the
sanctions of the law unless and
until the underground travel time
exceeds five hours week and there
by extends the total work week be-
yond 40 hours.

vote.
Will Expire in 1914.
1t was emphasized during the de-
bate that the bill, by continuing the
present overtime formula. based on
360-day year, merely allows lit
tie more than straight pay for over
time, since it couples a 20 per cent
increase in hours with 2l6 per cent
raise.
During preliminary consideration
OF the bill late yesterday the SEN
ate agreed to limit it's life to June
30, 1914, instead of the same date
in l945. The change was made on
motion of Senator Russell, who took
the view that it would be easier to
extend the measure again if the war
is not ever next summer than it
would be to repeal the act If the war
ends before l945.
