Rays Corner .

On the western side of India
about $50 miles from the port of
Bombay, a traveller may find a
village with 1,100 people. 1t is
known as Ellora.
There is nothing very wonderful
about the buildings inside Ellora, but
the nearby ruins are of great in
terest.
Ellora is in the midst of hills and
small mountains, and along the
slopes Of one large hill are some of
the most amazing temples ever
built. There are "a good-sized
temples, and a number of shrines.
Most of them were produced in
honor of Hindu gods.
have special reason for saying
that the temples were produced. ]"
1t would not be correct to say that
they were built" or erected" They
were cut out of solid rock!
The making of those temples
seems to- have been started more
than 1900 years ago. We do not
have written records to tell about
the first work on them, but it is
likely that they were suggested by
natural caves on the hillside. Co.
ing into those caves, men may have
learned that the rock was not too
hard to carve.
In time, the soil was carried away
from upper parts Of the hill. AT
Ore place the moving 0f the soil
laid bare q huge mass of rock, and
this was used as material for the
Temple of Kailas.
It seems that trenches were cut
in the hard rock. AS the months
passed, the trenches became deeper
and deeper and, at last, huge, oblong
blocks of rock stood forth.
When the blocks were formed, the
task was only partly finished. The
faces Of the rock still had to be
carved. We can see today mighty

PRIZE CONTRIBUTION

During the summer my girl friend
and visited relatives in Harrisburg
Pa. While there, We went to many
places of interest. The one which
impressed me most was Hershey, Pa.
This town is owned by one man and
almost looks like picture in a
book. The Hershey amusement
park was somewhat of a dream to
me. Weeping willow trees surround
the park and one could take a trip
around it in small set of railway
cars, which was treat itself. There
were numerous other pleasures
within its gates.
II, next summer, I am able again
to travel, would love to return to
Hershey, the almost make believe

Landscape Exhibition
By FBI Recebtionist
William Samuel Noisette has been

William Samuel Noisette has been
close to so much drama and excite
ment during his 18 years as messen-
ger and receptionist for j. Edgar
Hoover, director of the FBI, that it
seems to be logical compensation
for him to spend his leisure time in
painting quiet, serene landscapes.
twenty-five of his most recent oils
comprise his 10th annual one-man
exhibition at the Phyllis Wheatley
YWCA, 901 Rhode Island avenue
NV, which opened October 20 and
will remain through the 3lst The
show is open to the public daily
from to 10 pm.
Mr.. Noisette paints from memory
and imagination, and has a real
feeling for beauty. He seems partial
to autumn and depicts scenes which
remind one of Wilbur Gross apos-
trophe to the fall of the year: "As
the colors of autumn stream down
the wind, scarlet in sumach and
maple, spun gold in the birches, a
splendor of smoldering fire in the
oaks along the hill" etc. Path to
Happiness" the title of one of these
paintings, indicates the artists atti-
tude toward his subject.
Mr.. Noisette achieves sky effects
which would do credit to a profes-
cj0no1 rointar He hos ohViol1clu
watched skies from dawn to dusk
and captures colors, clouds and a
variety of changes according to
weather and climate.
A subject which will strike a re-
sponsive chord in many hearts is
Receiving V-Mail" A woman is
taking the letter from the box in
front of her cabin in a clearing sur
rounded by autumn-t tinted trees
and her little white dog quivers
with sympathetic expectancy.

pillars and doorways and statues of
elephants.
Hundreds of years passed while
the "a temples near Ellora were
being cut. We do not know how
many thousands of men were en-
ployed on them, but what they did
has been compared to the building
of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh.
The Temple of Kailas is 100 feet
high, 100 feet wide and 276 feet
long. Far larger buildings have
been built, but no other of such
size ever has been carved out of
solid rock.
One room inside this mighty tenn
pie Is II feet high, Sc feet wide and
l03 feet long. There are other rooms
OF smaller size, along with hun
dreds of statues representing Hindu
gods and goddesses, as well as ele-
phants and other animals.
The chief god honored by the
temple is silva, one of the three
chief gods Of the Hindu religion.
Along with Brahma and vishnu,
silva Is supposed to hold most of
the power over the world. He has
been described as "the being who
destroys and builds up again." He
lis death, but he also holds the
promise Of new life.
The temples in the region of
Ellora stretch along a mile of hill
side. Men worked on them during
a period of centuries, but it is be-
lieved that the Temple of Kailas
was cut from the rock during the
reign Of Krishna I. This king ruled
Ia section of India from 760 to 783.
As I have said, most OF the tenn
piles were prepared by Hindus, but
some were made by people of other
faiths. Several Of them are Budd-
hist and others are products Of the
jams.

! this method is more successful in
portraits of men than of women.
| Ogden PleiSsner's paintings are
the best work in the show, judged
from the standpoint of eSthetic mer-
it. He is painter of national rep
utation, who began to receive awards
in 1923. He was a captain in the
Air Corps, commissioned in 1912 as
an official war artist by the Army
Air Forces. In the AleutianS he
made preliminary sketches which he
later worked up into the paintings
shown here. He was released from
the Army to become one of Life's
staff of artists and has visited sew
eral war zones.

Vas Camontlaee officer
| The third professional artist rep
resented is Maj. John Lavalle, ma
tive of Massachusetts whose career
in art has been rather closely iden-
tilted with that State. He served
overseas in World War I in the
United States Air Service, was a
bomber pilot with the RAF. He
| joined up in 1912 as a camouflage
officer, was made a captain the fol-
lowing year and sent to North At
rica. served in the Tunisian cam
paign and took part in the plans
for the Sicilian invasion. He COM
pleted 68 paintings and 80 portraits
for the Army Air Forces in the Mid
die Eastern area.
Only 13 water colorS by Maj. La
vale are in the present show. His
airplanes are well done, but his skies
look somewhat muddy here and
there, as though he had lost control
of rather fluid wash. THE Light
nings Form Up" and "Air Evacua-
ton" emphasizing figures i'm
pressed the reviewer as the best of
/ his works
Three water colors of flying planes
by Maj. John T. Mccoy, jr.. give a
good account of his talent. He
learned to fly with the old Curtis
Flying Service at Roosevelt Field,
Long Island, in 1926. Art was first a
hobby, then became his profession.
He has served in the Army Air
Forces since March, 1912.
The fifth artist whose work is
shown is Pfc Anne Poor, Air WAC,
who spent her flight training period
at Carlsbad Army Air Field, N Mex
Unfortunately her group of eight
paintings is not of the caliber to rate
inclusion in an exhibition, let alone
a permanent collection. Pvt. Poor's
father, Henry Varnum Poor, is a
noted painter, SO she has the back
ground to make a name for herself
eventually. 1t is scarcely advan-
tageous for young person to be
placed prematurely in such a sit
uation as this.
This exhibition will hang perma-
nently in the headquarters of the
Army Air Forces, constituting part
of its historical record.

And pumpkins of the harvests yield
Orchards are heavy with apples

And so is little boy who dares.
