Writer Makes Museum a Present of Blumenschein Painting.

Booth Tarkington has given one of his favorite paintings to the John Herron Art Museum and the Museum directors: have accepted “with pleasure.” The painting, “The Tragedian” by Ernest Blumenschein, has been hung in the large south gallery now on public view. Mr. Tarkington bought the picture in 1908 after he saw it in a exhibition in the Paris Salon. In a letter to Mrs. J, W. Fesler, Art Association president, Mr. Tarkington said: “1 think you know Blumenschein: He's in the Metropolitan, etc., an I haven’t known an honester, hard-er-working or more thorough-going painter. The subject of the painthe was an actor, not a model, in ris — a tragedian of the type that'd follow a cafe acquaintance all over town in the hope of being asked to dinner. “Blumenschein picked him up and perceptively didn’t paint him in the studio—took him to Mrs. Blumenschein’s dainty little reception roof instead to emphasize character and enhance comedy.”

The picture is ‘of its period, one that will probably be though— when the clouds have rolled away— an excellent and craftsmanly peBlumenschein and Tarkington are friends. The artist wrote Mr. Tarkington: “I am more than glad that he (The Tragedjan) hds given some joy to my dear friend during 30 years—

0, 5. T0 TRAI CHUTIST ARMY

To Turn Out 1400 Troops Yearly. By MILTON BRONNER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, July 17.—Convihced of the immense utility of pardehuté troops by the fact that some 20,000 German soldier-juripérs took 4 major part in driving British and Greek troops from the strategic island of Crete, United States Army officials not only plan to have 4 force of nearly 2000 by November, but also have established a pérma-

nent school for training 1400 paraShire troops a year. at Ft. Benning,

eat is only a beginning. Other

|schools may be founded or the one

at Ft. Benning expanded if the parachute troops already trained make a good showing for themselves in the giant Army maneuvers to be held in Louisiana and Texas next September.

- Riddle Chute Dummies °

To cofhpleté preparédness, dt Ft. Léwis, Wash., soldiers are taught to bé “DArAtroops. 2 ese are the lads Wwhosé special job it would be to shoot down énemy parachutists. In training, 150-poyfid dummy troopérs dre dropped from planes. The job of the “paratroops” is to riddle thésé with bullets from machine guns and rifles. The first regular parachute command the American Army ever had was formeéd last October as thé 501st Infantry Parachute Battalion at Ft. Benning, Ga. Major WwW. M. Miley was made its commander. lis strength was about 500 men. It put up such 4 good pérform-

ldnce that thé 502d Battalion is be-

ing formed this month. The 503d is scheduled to be formed on Sept. 1 dnd the 504th on Nov, 1.

All Are Volunteers

Unliké the practice in the German and Russian armies, men are not ordered to service in these pardchute battalions. The ranks are filled by volunteers. These come not only from the regular Army, but trainees' after completing their service with infantry regiments, may also volunteer under orders just issued by the War Department. The requirements for parachute troops are rather severe. Majors seeking parachute duty must not be more than 40 years of age, while Cdptains and Lieutenants must not exceed 35. They must be agile, athletic and weigh not more than 185 pounds. Enlisted men and trainees ‘must be at least 66 inches tall and not more than 74 inchés. Regulars must have had at least six months ini the Army and at least one more year to serve their enlistment. Get Exira Pay Mén selected as parachutists will get extra pay and a limite number will get a chance to fill higher grades. All officers and men in the parachute battalions will be placed on

d flying pay status until such time as

Congress pdsses permanent legislation fixing the monthly amounts of pay. Enlisted men who are rated as parachutists will get a specialist first cldss rating. This is done so as to provide compernisation both because of the flying risk and thefrisk connected with the

parachute fisp proper. SERVICE CLUB TO HEAR -RECRUITING OFFICER Members of the Indianapolis Service Club will hear Ensign Robert P, Sayle, U. S. N. R,, at their luncheon Monday noon at the Cldypool Hotel. Ensign Sayle, who has recently been assigned to the U, S. Naval Recruiting Station here to dssist with recruiting college graduates for the Naval Réserve Officers’ Training Schools, will speak on

“The Navy's V-T7 Program.” Ensign Sayle will be introduced
