said. more children will die of
starvation this year than all the
people who died from bullets and
bombings in any year of World

lived from birth to death without
knowing what it was to have a

descendants of Marie there are.
Chief custodian of the great
tradition is now Bernard Tussaud

the stopped back and curving
thumb of the sculptor. He is a
bachelor, but from among his
seven brothers the institution will
draw another Tussaud to carry
on the craft.
That Esxie Quality
lUssAUD's appeal, which has been
constant for more than a century
and a half. is hard to describe.
But it is felt in a fash. It's the
eeriness of those scores of wax
bodies which are dead and yet so
alive that if you stare for a mo-
ment, you feel that the wax face
has just spoken to you.
The museum receives many odd
requests. An elderly bachelor in
the Midlands ordered the model
of a woman done from his own
sketches, to be dressed in clothes
of his design. He needed a woman
around the house, he said, who
would be decorative and not talk
ative. The commission was re-
fused.
Teachers bring students to
Tussaud's, having discovered
that history comes alive for
them there. Scholars and fiction
writer's consult the museum on
matters of portraiture and cos
tune. When preparations were
under way for King Edwards cor

this mercilessly realistic figure of
herself at the age of 81. She died
in 1850, but is still very much
alive as the presiding genius over
her descendants.
Born in Switzerland, Marie
learned wax modelling from her
uncle in Paris, became a favorite
of the court ladies at Versailles.
Then came the French Revolu-
ton, and the girl was thrust into
horrors which would have driven
less well-balanced person mad.
Because of her royal connec-
tions, Marie was suspect, but
the revolutionaries spared her
to make use of her skill. She
spent the Reign of Terror produc-
ing wax reproductions of the illus
trious as they went to the guillo-
tine. First, Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette, later Danton and
Robespiere. The models she did
then still remain the most faithful
portraits in existence.
She Shocked England
SHE married a French soldier
named Tussaud, who soon left her.
In 1902, with her waxworks and
her two small boys, she emigrated
to England. She made her debut
at the Lyceum Theater, and was
an instantaneous success. The
proper English were deliciously
shocked at this true-to-life glimpse
of licentious royalty and ferocious
revolutionaries from across the
Channel.
When Madame Tussaud learned
that Samson, the executioner. had
pawned his guillotine for lack of
business. she sent her son to buy
it. The Shah of Persia, visiting the
museum in 1873 to admire his wax
replica, was fascinated by the
guillotine. He wanted to see if it
still worked, and demanded vol
unteers for beheading from among
his suite. 1t was with. some diff

ripe age of 80, having trained
her two sons, Francois and
Joseph. to carry on. The dy-
nasty remains intact to this day.
1t shows no signs of dying out. At
the last known census of the great
family. it was found that II of her
grandsons took an active part in
the First World War.

We have plenty of laws, it is rue, in fact too many of them: but
 here does seem to be dire need of a tax upon every citizen in the form of an obligation to cast his vote at certain times and, failing Q do so. to pay a penalty for his neglect. All other taxes leV.ed by duly constituted authority are for the greater part at least paid. or .he delinquent is penalized. The. delinquent voter should be penal- ized no less than the delinquent tax payer.
 Of the fifty million eligible to vote who did not vote on last No vember ?, probably forty millions mad no excuse that could not have oaen provided for; if those forty millions had to pay a poll tax of S25 each, the result would nave been a large sum for the city, state and national governments and many more voters in future cleo tions.

APATHY ON VOTING
(The Catholic SentineD

(Ihe Catholic Sentlnel)
 In past weeks there has been tremendous expendi- ture of newspaper space radio time, and other valuable efforts in endeavorng give the for the pected, startling results of the November second election.
 Meanwhile, closely connected fact which, in the ag gregate is of greater moment because of the per- manency of the effects has not received the attention which it's importance demands.
 In large part of the world today the Four Git should read Five) Freedoms practically unknown, millions of human beings subject to totataran dictator ia governments in which they have voice either to obtain their rights to redress their wrongs In strk stands out with dramatic conspcuousness. For here are free they suffer any wrongs these be reced if they not corrected it is the fault of the peo pie themselves, taken collectively. Nevertheless in the recent election, more than one half of those entitled to vote indifferent unapprecative of their marvellous prerogave not take advantage of it.
 Whether this or that candidate successful, which two parties achieved political power for the next two four years, this of secondary importance when compared to the problem which fifty millions of nOn-vOting citizens create.
 Apathy election day means that the honest, de- voted public servant may be rejected while the incom- peten tool of selfish interests may be kept indefinitely in office. Apathy election day means that abuses which feed discontent and ultimately Communism may be perpetuated while the general good of the greater number suffers in consequence. Nothing can cure this undermining of democracy, this destruction of representative government except spontaneous action of all the citizens on those days when they have the opportunity to express their will The fact that they not clear all the issues at stake that there little choice between candidates and parties that after all doesn't make much difference"
