as violent as their canvas por-
trayals.
Mr.. Curry, born on Kansas
Farm, said he never escaped the
impression of overwhelming, elemen-
tai force gained in his childhood
from -blighted prairies, disaster
bounded people and sudden storms.
The destructive forces of nature al
ways lurked in his pictures of rural
life and the flerceness of his style
influenced his historical murals and
circus studies In his circus paint
ing he earned a reputation as the
most poetic painter since Albert
Ryder. To obtain the proper back
ground. Mr.. Curry travelled with the
Ringing Brothers. Barnum & Bailey
Circus in 1882.
Spent Winter in Paris.
After entering the Chicago Art
Institute in 1917, Mr.. Curry was
lured to New York by the prospect
of magazine Illustrating This ven-
ture was not happy one and he
went abroad to study draughtman-
ship. After a winter in Paris, he
returned to Kansas. There he
shortly produced Baptism in Kan
Sas," which with other canvases in
the same vein, brought him interna-
tional acclaim.
When Kansans heard of the repu-
tation of their native son, State
leaders, headed by William Allen
White, editor of the Emporia Ga
Zette, formed a committee to per-
suade Mr.. Curry to paint the Murals
that now adorn the walls of the
Kansas Statehouse
Mr.. Curry, when he went to Kan
sas to do the paintings, said. II have
my own ideas about telling the story
of pioneers coming into Kansas"
and it later developed that his ideas
differed from those of some men,
bers of the Legislature.
Was Opposed by Lawmakers.
He painted the greatest portion
Of the Murals in the summer Of
1910, but when the proposal for
$4,000 to finish the paintings ap-
peared before the Legislature, sew
eral Senators and Representatives
contended that Mr.. Curry's work
was not art and more particularly
did not portray Kansas scenes.
Mr.. Curry stuck to his business
and did not enter the argument.
The bill finally passed. and the
painter completed the murals in
May, 1912
About the Kansas statehouse
murals, Mr.. Curry said: Il sim
cerely believe that in these frag-
ments, particularly in the panel Of
John Brown, have accomplished
the greatest painting I have yet
done, and that they will stand as
historical monuments"
Served in World War /.
Mr.. Curry served as a private in
World War I. In World War II he
was commissioned to prepare Sc
ries of paintings portraying the
training of Army medical corps
men. For this work he was sta
toned at Camp Barley, Tex.
Mr. Curry is survived by his
widow, one daughter. Ellen. of Mad
ison; his mother, Mrs Smith Curry
of Tucson, Ariz.; two sisters, Mrs.
Mildred Fike of Kansas City, Kans.,
and Mrs. Margaret Yeakley of Min
neapolis, and one brother, Gene, of
| Connecticut
Funeral services will be held at
! Reformed Presbyterian Church at

will be buried in the family plot in

Sigma Chi Directory
Contains Tribute 10
Theodore W. Moves

A tribute to the character and
service of Theodore w. Moves, the
late editor of The Star, was con-
tanned in the new directory of the
Washington Alumni Chapter of the
Sigma Chi Fraternity, issued today.
The career Of Mr.. Moves, said the
statement compiled and edited by
Bertram H. White, has been an
exemplification of loyalty and
brotherly love, an inspiration to all
of those vino have been privileged
to come within the radius of his
splendid personality"
Text of Statement.
The statement follows:
with humble respect, grateful
appreciation and fraternal love, this
directory is dedicated to Brother
Theodore William Noyes, who was,
before his death July 4, 1916,
Washington's oldest and the twen-
tieth oldest living member of the
Sigma Chi Fraternity.
Brother Noyes was born jan
uary Is, 1858, and was initiated into
Sigma Chi by Epsilon Chapter at
George Washington University in
1877. He graduated from the uni
versity with the degrees of bachelor
Of science and bachelor Of law,
After graduation he entered the
newspaper business, where he en-
joyed a long and brilliant career
1.-THE fact that Brother Noyes con-
tinued his loyal devotion to Sigma
Chi after leaving school is indicative
of his being one of the signers Of the
charter which established the Wash
ington Alumni Chapter, June Is,
1889.
Exemplification Of Loyalty.
Through these SO years that he
wore the White Cross of Sigma Chi,
his life has been an exemplification
Of loyalty and brotherly love, an In
spiration to all of those who have
been privileged to come within the
radius of his splendid personality.
Even though his health during
the last years OF his life prevented
his active participation he remained
most loyal to the fraternity in sup
porting her every endeavor.
It is deeply regretted that
Brother Noyes was called to the
Chapter Eternal before a copy OF
this directory could be presented to
him. He knew it was being printed,
however, and expressed his sincere
appreciation for the honor its dedi-
cation conveyed to him.
His loyal devotion and inspira-
ton to the fraternity throughout
his lifetime added new luster to the
White Cross Of Sigma Chi. This shall
never be forgotten. All honor to his
name"

New Year Promises
Hope for the People

A new wear is upon US again, and whether we
wish it or not, we are all a year older. lime goes
inexorably on. irrespective of peace or war, OF
happiness or sorrow. of birth or death.
Nineteen Forty-Five will be written in history
as one Of the most momentous years OF all time.
II witnessed more astounding events than any year
in history, including, just in passing, VI day
and vi dav, the death Of President Roosevelt,
Hitler and Mussolini. Unheard-of %incompre-
hensible profits were made by industry. Bust
ness wallowed in wealth and is yet. Private en-
terprise, with its hideous contradictions, received
a Jolt in the British and French elections. There
is no doubt and there is no gainsaying that the
termination Of capitalism as we have known it is
drawing TO a close. Capitalism, or free enter
prise as the term is used now. shall have brought
about its own death by its own greed. The United
States is rich beyond the dreams Of Midas. 1t has
natural resources unparalleled by any like terri
tory in the world. 1t is this very fact which gives
to the people Of this country its high standard OF
living and not the dole tossed from the table
by the employing classes. They would reduce the
standard of living. but are helpless in the face oil
the nation inherent riches.
Yes, we shall have a better world in l94o ano
in all the succeeding years. because the trend is
recognition Of the welfare Of humanity and no
Of the Individual. Socialized medicine and hos
pitalization, sharing Of profits, public ownership
are coming Just as inexoribly as time moves.
