3D OF SOLDIER BROTHERS DIES Ravages of Gas Claim Last Patriot Who Went Into War. DENVER, May 31.—A story of one family's sacrifice in the World War pregnant with pathos was revealed here in the death of Lieut. Edward G. Skeggs, who succumbed to the ravages of tuberculosis after a long struggle in a vain effort to regain his health. Three brothers, Alfred, John and Edward Skeggs, motivated by a high sense of patriotism, dedicated their lives to the cause of humanity in the World War, the two first-named joining the famous Princess Pat Regiment of the Canadian army, and the latter enlisting in the armed forces of Uncle Sam on the day that a state of war was declared to exist between the United States and Germany. Alfred, the older brother, was killed in action in Flanders and his body rests beneath the poppy fields there. John, a sergeant in the distinguished Canadian regiment that was badly riddled on the western front, was seriously wounded and gassed. After being invalided back to Canada, his health gradually ebbed and he died In Quebec. George, the third brother, who died at his home here recently, became a member of the 157th Infantry, a Colorado unit, and sacrificed his health on the far-flung battlefields of the Argonne Forrest and along the Meuse River. As the result of exposure to gas the rigors of the fighting in those major engagements, he contracted tuberculosis. He was brought home and, after a long period of treatment at Fitzsimmons Hospital, the Army hospital in this city, he was discharged in August, 1920, it being believed that his health was greatly improved. Since then he had been living with his wife, Mrs. Daisy De Forest Skeggs. Skeggs' death came suddenly at a time when it was thought that he had successfully combatted the dread disease. Lieutenant Skeggs, who won his commission in France, after enlisting as a private, was thirty-one years old, and is survived by his widow. Skeggs had previously served an enlistment In the Army, having seen service In China and the Philippine Islands.
JUDGE APPROVES MARRIED LIFE ‘COMMANDMENTS’ They Set Down Rules for a ‘Faithful French Wife. . PARIS, May 31.—A new “Ten Commandments," regulating the relationship between wife and husband have just been approved by a French judge, and now that worthy citizen has had to disconnect his telephone at night to escape the denunciations of angry women. The marital "Ten Commandments" were written by a French officer. Returning from the front he found that his wl/a had become too independent during the war, wore knee length skirts, used a choice lot of slang and didn't lower her eyes when she got the “glad eye" from other men. The returned officer decided to apply some of the kind of discipline that made Foch's military machine move. He wrote the “commandments” and pasted them up in his wife’s boudoir. She tore them down and served notice that she wouldn't obey them. The husband sued for divorce and the Judge said he was right and set him free. The new ‘ Ten Commandments" provide that a wife: 1. Must make a weekly report on what she has accomplished. 2. Must keep a daily account of household expenses. 3. Keep everything in the house clean, in order and in good repair. 4. Do nothing without her husband's permission. 5. Execute her husband's orders without discussion. 6. Always be polite toward her husband. 7. Use no slang and tell no lies. 8 Dress simply and as befits her husband's bankroll. 9. Never wear gaudy dresses or play the “vampire.” 10. Never buy any clothes without consulting her husband. French feminist leaders grew so angry when they read the “commandments' that they just couldn't talk. A woman's magazine Is calling for suggestions for commandments for husbands.
Wisconsin U. Loans ‘Rescue’ Students MADISON, Wis., May 31.—To aid needy students in earning their way through college, 207 loans, totalling $11,141, were made last year by the regents of the University of Wisconsin from loan funds at their disposal. The loanH averaged $53 per person and many were just in time to save students from giving up their college course because of financial difficulties. Lack of funds prevented loans to many other needy students. The university has twenty loan funds for this purpose, many of them for selfsupporting students. Fifteen of them, totaling $15,000, may be loaned out entirely and then reloaned as the money is repaid by the recipients. Five of the loan funds, totaling $20,454, are trust funds whose income only may be loaned out. One of these, the John A. Johnson fund, produced last year an income of $385 for student loans. Because of the Increasing number of needy and worthy students who apply for small loans to aid in earning their way, the loan funds are at present far from adequate, and further funds are being sought from alumni and friends of the university to endow new funds to add to the principal of existing funds.
WOMAN ARTIST PAINTS PICTURES FROM MEMORY Objects Unknown to Her Are Portrayed Vividly by Strange Gift. NEW YORK, May 31.—If suddenly, out of nowhere, came a picture to your mind which you proceeded to paint or draw, that would be no very extraordinary afftir, would It? But, if weeks later, in a new land perhaps, or in a book of photographs you saw the identical thing you had painted—what would you say ? Especially if your sketch showed an ancient temple or faroff villa whose like you had never seen before 7 Transmigration of the soul, or the theory of reincarnation, might, to some, explain such an occurrence. But Miss Sydney Dyke rejects these theories, or rather says she simply doesn’t try to account for her "memory” pictures. On the walls of “The Oasis” at 10 East Forty-Seventh street. Miss Dyke's paintings hang at present. To the uninitiated they look like very interesting water-colors of landscape and design. But they are of two particular kinds, those called “symbolic portraits” and the others, “memory pictures.” .MISS DYKE TELLS EXPERIENCES.
"Sometimes I have thought,” says Miss Dyke, “that I have looked upon certain scenes in another age, another place. But, I do not like to talk of transmigration. "Yet I do believe in something like a continuity of life. For instance, there is the ‘Villa d'Este,’ the painting oter there with the cypress trees, a little pond, and a villa in the distance. Whan I made that I had a strong feeling that I must put pinnacles on the building, although I thought they would be hardly the thing. Later I met someone who saw the picture and discussed it with me. “I wanted to call it the ’Villa d'Este.’ We got a book of villas and found that one really called by that very name — a fifteenth century building—had pinnacles such as I had drawn. “Reincarnation, as an explanation, I don't like. The word is used by so many fakers that I must reject it.” Miss Dyke is a tall, striking-loooking young woman of handsome and wholesome aspect. Her findings are not the result of mooning over weird psychic subjects, but have come naturally and simply to her attention. She has made pictures, the ideas of which interested her, and later found that they had an odd significance. From that beginning she perfected, by self-teaching, her technique in water-color so as better to present her subjects. PAINTS REMARKABLE CASTLE PICTURE. From the pages of a novel treating of Irish life Miss Dyke showed me another of her “memory pictures'—the interior of a quaint old castle hall, oddly constructed, the plan of which came to Miss Dyke like a "flash of intuition,” as she explains. “Later, after I made the sketch, I went to Ireland and met the Countess Clomortie, who ws writing a book. I told her of the drawing of a room I'd made. She looked at it. It was just like the one in her home. So she put my drawing in the book." Miss Dyke's experience is a strange one. Few of us there are who have not seen something in a dream nd later seen the original of our fancy, then became bewildered as to which we really saw first. But this artist has visioned scenes in Egypt, where she has never traveled; scenes in Ireland in a castle she has never visited. And starting with only an ancient head, of which she made a sketch in the British Museum, Miss Dyke fashioned a painting which would make the most skeptical tend to listen to tales of transmigration. MENTAL PICTURES OF PLACES. "I don't try to see these things visually. I get mental pictures of places in which I feel I have lived, in previous days. “Sometimes we meet people that apparently are strangers, men and women we are not conscious of ever having met before. Yet we feel, and they feel, that a previous acquaintance in another age. in another previous life, has existed. “Meeting a person is like striking a chord. Marconi for instance, gets messages off the wireless. He doesn't know what this force is; he knows that he has learned how to put it to work. And a current is of no use without a connection. “In painting a portrait I determine what planets govern my subject's life, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, or whatever they may be. All have their own colors. Therefore, I take the hues which shine over the person's existence and put them into appropriate form. “Placing myself in a negative, or passive, state of mind when I come in contact with a person, my subconscious mind seems to be free to receive impressions. These gleanings of character 1 use to make the portraits.”
AW THEY WON'T CLUB YE , EH, BO Boston Police Women Supplant Force With Kindness. BOSTON, May 31. —Every man upon the force wears a watch and chain, of course, together with other distinguishing devices, but not so Boston’s new women police. Quietly dressed, unobstrusive In demeanor, they move in mysterious ways, their duties to perform, according to Mrs. Margaret MacHugh, one of the appointees. Here are some of the things the policewomen do and don’t do, as outlined by Mrs. Mac Hugh: They don’t carry guns. They don’t wear uniforms. They carry their badges inside their purses. They never call attention to themselves if it can be avoided. They make arrests only when necessary. They may in truth be called “plainclothes women,” as their costumes are simple in design and preferably dark. Mrs. Mac Hugh delivered herself of an epigram. “Common sense and kindness,” said she, “are better than the strong arm and a club." Mrs. Mac Hugh, who was formerly chief night operator in the Brighton telephone exchange, spent her first day off duty on the Common. "I wouldn't describe the Common as the evil place that some good people see fit to call it,” said she. “It is very well ordered, with well-mannered people, young and old, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. I saw many young women with male friends, improving the opportunities for talk and companionship which the Common affords. It is fit, however, that a matron should be about, like a mother at home, keeping a kindly eye on all.” WHAT MEXICO OWES. MEXICO CITY, May 31.—Estimate made by Secretary Treasurer De la Huerta indicate that the indebtedness of the government to the banks of Mexico totals 80,000,000 pesos, of which 20,000,000 pesos are owed to the Banc Nacional. This debt, it is said, will be recognized and payed by the Government as soon as possible. The so-called Huerta debt, which ranges from 30.000,000 to 33,000.000 pesos, however, is before Congress, which must decide whether or not it should be paid .
PLAN FOR EACH STATE TO HAVE EXPO BUILDING Capital Suggested as Logical Place for Permanent Exhibit. WASHINGTON, D. C— A plan for each State, and possibly for each foreign country, to be represented in Washington by a permanent exposition building, is being considered. The States spend large sums regularly to erect temporary buildings at the big expositions that last only a few months. Now they are to be invited to consider establishing permanent exhibit buildings. The National Capital has been recommended as the logical place for them for two reasons. First, because State rivalry Is so keen that no other city would meet with general approval, whereas Washington belongs to the country as a whole. The other reason is that a permanent exposition at Washington has been urged for over twenty years, and Congress is getting used to the idea that when there is such an exposition it will be at Washington. Back in 1897 there was a bill providing one thousand acres of land in Rock Creek Park, in Washington, and since then there have regularly been bills by which Congress was to make it possible for the States to be represented by buildings at the National Capital. Something of the sort would undoubtedly be of great value in advertising the States. Most foreign visitors who make flying trips to America see only a limited part of the country, and leave without ever gaining any real conception of its extent. Many Americans also have no idea of the distinctive characteristics of each State beyond a few facts gleaned from pages of a school geography. A collection of exhibits cannot, of course, take the place of actually traveling through the country and visiting factories, mines, and farms, but a tour of forty-eight State buildings would certainly give any one a fair understanding of the complex material that goes to make up the United States. At present, the visitor to the Capital goes away with an impression of the importance and dignity of the United States as a Government, but there is nothing in Washington to make him feel the existence of the States for which the Government functions. He is reminded of some ancient history of the States in Statuary Hall at the Capitol, where a motley crowd of statues is supposed to include the State heroes. The basic idea of Statuary Hall was sound, and the earliest entries were names still familiar to every one, but since then delegates selected are in a great many cases minor heroes, unrecognized even by the tourist from his own State. In a country as well supplied as this one is with really famous characters, Statuary Hall could be one of the inspiring spots in the Capital City. It could remind the visitor of the biggest achievements of the States, but it does not.
In the Washington monument, blocks of marble and granite sent and inscribed by different States gove an excellent idea of the many varieties of one product that the different sections of the country yeld. Most visitors, however, have little opportunity to regard this interesting collection of stones. From the monument elevator it is possible to catch a fleeting glance of a few State blocks is you happen to be near the sides of the cage. To study the walls more carefully it is necessary to walk either up or down the 555foot shaft, and this is an experience that the average tourist is willing to forego. There are a few other vague reminders of the States in statuary and painting around the capitol aud other public buildings, and Congress is. supposedly, a collection of sample products of the States. Throughout the city, however, there is nothing to give any impression of each State as it actually is—its industries, art, science, its agriculture, products and commerce. An exhibit covering these points would be visited and used not only by tourists, but by students, business men and Government and foreign representatives. The project is being shaped up now for congressonal consideration because the time is regarded as favorable. The building industry is beginning to veer toward normal, and in the time taken to have the plan indorsed by Congress it is expected that a public building program could be mapped out at reasonable expense. When Congressman Davis of Minnesota introduced a bill for a permanent international exposition, in 1919, he urged that it would not be a financial burden either on tho Federal treasury or on any one State. The idea has always been that Congress was to buy and donate the land and each State would then be at liberty to use its shire for a building and grounds. The cost of the land would not be great. From 200 to 1,000 acres would be needed, according to various estimates and plans. There are several sites suggested, one in Rock Creek Park, and another, a tract of 500 acres across the Potomac River in Virginia. This latter site is regarded as especially good. It is a part of the land which was originally in the District and was later ceded back to Virginia. It is already owned by the Government and used by the Department of Agriculture as an experiment station. We have been told that the station needs a larger piece of land and would be willing to move. The Virginia land is near Arlington, the National Cemetery, and commands an attractive view of Washington. It is also desirable in that it is easily reached by street car. The Rock Creek site is not so accessible. Still another site, near tha Capitol, would involve a great deal of preliminary work, as whole blocks of old houses would have to be torn down. The Government appropriation would be needed only to pay for the land, if privately owned property were selected, and to pay for a small office force to do the clerical work necessary in developing the plan. Representative Davis figured that a board of trustees composed of the Vice President, ex-officio, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, ex-officio, and four Senators and four Representaticvs would manage tho project. He proposed that they give their services without additional pay. The only appropriation in his bill was a sum not to exceed $10,000 a year for clerical hire. The cost of the buildings would be decided by each State, and no State would be urged or compelled to build at all if it preferred not to. Each State is to be left to itself to plan its own building, according to the present scheme, but tho board of trustees and the Fine Arts Commission would probably pass upon plans to make sure that they were practical for the location and that they would fit harmoniously with the others. This would not mean that a single style of architecture would be prescribed for the group of buildings. Each State would be expected to use its own designs, and especially its own materials of stone and wood. The interior would contain an exhibit with possibly a library of reference books aud an assembly hall for meetings. The buildings could be museums of the States only, with caretakers in charge, or they could be made still more useful to business and to the Government by having a representative from the State thoroughly familiar with conditions there to furnish information about exhibits and State business and industry. Plans for the exposition have always included other countries. That is, it is supposed that an invitation and an offer of land would be extended to each nation as to each State, There is no doubt that many countries would be glad to ac cept a chance to advertise in the United States.
