BY Florence s. Berryman.

Where young Americans have
been, are now, or may be fighting
in the near future in the South Pa
cific and Asia, is the background of
a colorful varied and exotic exhi-
bition put on by the department
Of anthropology of the Smithsonian
Institution, in the foyer of the Nat
ural History Building. 1t will re-
main through August.
Entitled a Cultural Survey" the
exhibition comprises selections from
the collections of the National Mu-
scum, including many decorative
arts and handicrafts of Burma,
Thailand Malay States, Sumatra
Borneo, Java, the Philippine Islands
and Formosa. Some of these places
have ancient, sophisticated con-
servative cultures; others are still
primitive
Perhaps the major exhibit from
the standpoint of public interest is
a modern Burmese ivory carving,
composed of two elephant tusks,
mounted in silver and carved wood,
and displayed effectively opposite
the entrance. 1t is the work of an
artist named Maung Kin and his
assistant how they managed to do
| it in less than lifetime. will be a
matter of wonder to many visitors
The tusks together tell the sad story
of King Weythandaya and Queen
Madi who gave away the kingdom S
white elephant, with five episodes
in each tusk. Furthermore, little
figure of the King is carved inside
one tip and his Queen in the other
They are seen through a lacy screen
of exquisite work. The patience and
skill that must have been required
to do this elaborate carving in sew
eral layers, yet all in one piece
stagger the Imagination.
Also near the entrance is superb
wood carving, a ceremonial dancer
about 4 feet high, from Thailand
(Siam). A smaller dancer, in a diff
ferent movement, is inside a case in
one of the alcoves. Both figures
are highly representational but ex-
otic to our eyes, because of the
costumes, masks and poses.
Very different are the ceremonial
wood carvings from Mas Island;
household gods and shrine images,
stiff, angular, primitive figures. In
the same case are miniature metal
objects, men. animals and crabs. 1t
is curious to note that the men and
water buffalos are equally primitive
whereas the little crabs appear to
be the work of more sophisticated
craftsmen.
Philippine Islands Crafts
Esthetically akin to these Mia.

seats from the Philippine Islands

N. A., wrote as follows of his COL
league, the donor Ranger he
said, was a dominant figure in the
so-called Tonal School Outside of
his work as painter-work which
may well speak for itself-he was
a man intensely national in his
sympathies and feelings. While
rather militant, he constantly prac-
ticed loyalty to the highest ideals
for American art and American
artists. Sometimes aggressive. bluff
and outspoken, he used all his
qualities to press forward himself,
and to urge others forward to the
ideals in which he believed. He
never hesitated to condemn mere
cleverness; he was bitterly opposed
to all kinds of sham, and above all
things proud of the dignity of his
profession. He met opposition and
made enemies, but it was this man,
sometimes accused of intolerance
and self1shness, who when his life
work was done; left everything he
had to the art work he loved and
to his fellow artists, whom he de-
sired to aid All that he had he
left for these double purposes-a
fine instance of broadminded gen.
erosity and patriotic foresight"
Surely there have been few nobler
glfts-nor gifts more wisely given.

She collects pictures of horses, horse
races and football games. Asked
why she started the hobby. which
she began two years ago. she replied
that horses and football interested
her, so she started collecting pic
lures of them from the newspapers
She now has about 100 pictures
pasted in scrapbook.
Her favorite is picture of a
white horse, as she likes white and
black horses best of all Her next
favorite is one of race in the rain

! had market place called the
Forum. and so did Pompeii In each
case, the Forum was used for public
speeches, as we'll as for buying and
selling.
There were no printing presses in
use among the Romans. but they
had what might be called news
papers"
Roman newspapers usually came
out daily. They were written by
hand and were posted on boards in
the public forums. The news for
these boards was gathered by per-
sons working for the government.
Even more like newspapers were
the copies Of what was posted on
public boards. These copies were
made by persons who earned their
living that way. They were sold to
those who did not care to 60 to the
Forum and read about what was
happening.
What news did the Romans readf
Many kinds. II the Emperor said
that every one must do this, or must
not do that, his words were posted
In all the forums. There also was
record OF the laws passed by the
Senate and of the results Of court
trials.
Those who were interested in
sports could read the programs Of
the circus and fights in the arena.
Births and deaths in the city were
announced.
News Of what was happening in
other cities and countries was rather
scarce. The only news from abroad
was likely to be about great fires or
earthquakes or victories Of Roman
armies.

Among the sights I most enjoyed
on my round -the-world trip be-
fore the war was the city OF

saw some of the ruts which were
worn in the pavement by the
chariot wheels.
Soldiers of the United Nations
entered Italy last year and many
of them visited, for the first time
this city which has been claimed
back from the distant past.
The story may be said to have
started in 70, when two good-sized
Italian cities were buried following
the explosion of Mount Vesuvius
Lava poured down on Herculaneum
while ashes covered Pompeii. The
latter city has been better pre-
served, and great work has been
done in digging the ashes away
from the houses and streets.
Pompeii was built on a hill not
far from Vesuvius. 1t covered only
about quarter Of square mile
If it had not happened to be buried
by ashes from a volcano, you anG
I probably would never have heard
of it.
As it is, we know more about the
life of Pompeii than of any other
city of ancient times. The walls
of scores of its houses are still
standing We can see the remains
of it's shops, as we'll as its paved
streets.

is only 1892 of an inch in diam

copper coin are some japanese SYM

Another coin of interest is the
United States Liberty dollar, minteo

discovered the light.
From Sarawak I have a penny

painters truly opened the windows
and let in the light, using different
methods, but attaining equally sig
niticant results. Turning back the
pages of history, one cannot but
marvel at the number of painters
who then thought this sufficiently
important to dedicate to it a life
time. This was not merely art for
arts sake, but for all of those who
with seeing eyes would look. With
the incentive of sharing enthusiasm,
these artists, discoverers in their own
right, gave the world their best.
OF the first 81 paintings purchased
through the Ranger Fund, about
one-half were landscapes. These
represented the acquisitions made
up to 1924, Among those repre-
sented were such well-known artists
as Bruce Crane, w. Elmer Schofeld.
