Old Chinese Screens
Conversation Pieces

She spent her childhood in Ell
Paso. Texas.
The designs on one of Mrs.
Niblo's screens is regarded by
authorities as a magnificent
example of ancient Chinese
stone painting. a hobby of men
of literature a half a thousand
years ago. 1t illustrates the
Chinese verses on each panel.
According to Mrs. Niblo one
of the panel inscriptions reads
in the poetic flower language
of the East-"White feathers
are floating over green water
and crimson palms are re-
fiected in clear waves. Now the
boy has brought the ink. let
me write a poem, which !
might change with a swan"
One of Mrs. Niblo's favorite
panels illustrates the verse
IT visited a friend with a harp
in the hope of finding out who
really understands music and
of expressing heart common to
both in poems.
Lotus blossoms form en-
trancing accents on the panel
which reads. Lotus shade is
reflected aslant on the surface
of the water and its fragrance
is stirring the moon rays.
Let us seek a cup of tea
which may keep one pleasant
for one thousand days and let
us lead a carefree life in this
peaceful age"
Ohio Bird
The screen that is so ancient
that even scholars cannot
translate the writing on the
panels, is often the focus Of
attention and comment. The
scholars believe that the de-
signs indicate-especially that
of the central motif of the
mystic Ohio bird-that the
story pictured is about some
one who stood out from his
fellows in the community as a
very humble person with great
spiritual and moral influence.
A 500-year-old screen that
forms most of one wall in Mrs.
Niblo's reception room is a
marvel Of ancient arts of carv-
ing and painting and cloisonne.

poem that the script of the poem

Youth in Rope Case Certified
AS Adult Despite Psychiotrist

w. Sinclair voided the indict-
ment however, and held that the
previous adult certification was
defective because it provided for
psychiatric examination Of Dod-
son.
Judge Sinclair said that if the
juvenile court felt that psychia-
trio examination was required, 1t
should have been done before
Dodson was certified as an adult.
Judge Rothrock today said
that he previously certified bod
son as an adult on the basis of
information he received from
Alexandria Juvenile Court, where
the youth had been placed on
probation for several ofenses.
He said the Alexandria Juvenile
Court records did not include a

ton such as the one he suisse
