RICHMOND'S PART III ARTMOVEMEIIT Chicago Paper Gives This City Credit for Enthusiasm Hoosiers Show.

The Chicago Record-Herald in today's issue has an article on "How Indiana Fostera Popular Love of Art," and Richmond is given credit for starting the movement. The article follows: While Indiana has long enjoyed the proud distinction of being one of the national hot-houses of literature, the Impression seems to have persisted that Indiana culture was lamentably one-sided. It must have struck many observers as odd that a state which was so astonishingly prolific of poets and novelists should show itself indifferent to the development of the plastic and graphic arts. Could Indiana rest content under such a charge? Those who know the Indiana spirit felt that it was impossible. Hence, when Indiana began to bestir herself several years ago to expand the scope of her influence so as to embrace the fine arts there was little surprise. The inevitable, though delayed, had come to pass. The paragraphed pointed their puny paragraphs to hurl them in vain against the impenetrable armor of Indiana's self-esteem. Secure in the sense of past achievements what had Indiana to fear from the flings of petty malice? She moved straight to her goal. She had simply made up her mind to bring into being an Indiana school of art, Just as she had already developed an Indiana school of literature. Her poets had celebrated the beauties of the Wabash In immortal verse; it remained for her artists to translate those beauties into terms of form and color. Had not Indiana woods and streams, clouds and sunset? Was Indiana less attractive as a model than Italy or France? Indiana refused to believe that such could be the case. All that was needed was a school of art. Her attention was first directed to this deficiency six or seven years ago, when, with characteristic energy, Indiana sought to supply It. The beginnings were small; perhaps they should be referred to as a beginning. But the germ was planted in the most fertile of soils, so that now Indiana's art Impulse is almost coextensive with her literary impulse, and scarcely less vigorous. Those who have followed the Indiana school of literature have often deplored the proneness of her authors to cross the seas for romantic settings.' Indiana art is more homely In its pretensions and does not foam. It Is an art of the people which affects even Indiana's policemen and rouses poetic aspirations. In the bucolic breast at milking time. How deeply it has stirred the popular Imagination is made plain by Ella Bond Johnston In the Outlook. To the City of Richmond belongs the honor of having pointed the way. Richmond began as long as fifteen years ago to hold exhibitions which were open to all the people. Muncie was quick to take the hint. Art associations were formed in other Indiana cities and towns, and pictures were exhibited throughout the circuit. To ihow how enthusiastically Indiana welcomes culture It Is only necessary to quote the writer's words: "An art revival was started to increase the number of cities taking the exhibit, and there were preaching and praying, exhorting and singing around the state in true evangelistic spirit, until in 1910 seven of the most important cities In the state were ready to Join a circuit with art associations organised and funds raised, to handle and display locally an art exhibit. The exhibition that was collected to travel this circuit contained sixty-two paintings and thirty-two small bronzes and was personally selected in the studios of artists in New York City, Chicago and Indiana." i At first the problem where to hang these exhibitions in the smaller towns was a puzzling one. But the citizens, with characteristic hospitality, flung open to the pictures courthouses, high schools, Y. M. C. A. buildings and public libraries. Of course the light was not always of the best for exhibition purposes, but the effect was, on the . whole, satisfactory. The labor of hanging the pictures is cheerfully shared by the townsmen, who convert themselves for the occasion Into a .band of willing workers. Thus a typical scene upon the arrival of the exhibition in Lafayette is described by the writer as follows: "'Who is that gentleman on the tepladder that seems so anxious to get that landscape In Just the right place? "'That is Judge Blank, our president: he has helped faithfully with the hanging.' ' 'And who Is this other man, on his knees In the corner of the room?' "Oh, that Is Professor Blank, from the university. He Is arranging the extra lighting for the pictures. -'Who is the tired lady who Just left the room?' " 'She Is Miss Blank, head of the art department at the university. She has worked so hard for the success of this exhibition that she must rest before the opening tonight.' At Terre Haute the chief of police assigned an Irish policeman to guard the exhibition and during the irst day of the view the policeman used the word "beautiful" quite naturally. The exhibitions have afforded no more striking illustration of the humanizing Influence of art." Indiana has biased the way. Will other states think it worth white to follow? , '

1911, by American Press Association. ULIiB. JEAXETTTS. Persons who have delved into the history of aviation tell us that some of the first and most fearless balloonIsts were women. Therefore it Is not surprising, now that the more speedy flying machine provides means of transportation for those who would invade the realm of birds and angels, that the pettlcoated sex should be among the pioneers. Aviation is a sport that only rich people can afford, for there Is not only the initial cost of a machine, bnt the expense of numerous repairs incidental on the inevitable smashups. Frenchwomen have taken up the sport with great enthusiasm. There is a French aeronautical society especially for women, and in England many smart women, notably the Duchess of Beaufort, are practical aviators. In this country Mrs. Katherine Clemmons Gould was one of the first women to take an interest in aviation. Mrs. Cortland Bishop Is said to know more of the science than most American women and to have made some ascents. Miss Eleanor Sears of Boston made one flight with Mr. Grahame-Whlte. the English aviator, which Inspired her with an admiration for the sport. A number of other society women, among them Mrs. W. K. Vnnderbilt, are said to hove tried the charms of flying. Miss Harriet Qulnby. who Is taking daily flights on Long Island, expects to qualify as a sky pilot Frenchwomen, however, lead In this daring sport. Mile. Dutrieu, who recently remained in the air continuously for two hours and thirty-five minutes, in which time she flew over 103 miles. Is one of the most famous wonen champions. So, too. Is Mile. Jeanette. who is now in this country competing for prizes at various aviation meets. She created a sensation by her daring flying on Long Island.

Fashion's Fads.

One of the newest pins for the hair has a pronounced outward curve at the top on the order of a hooked handle. This enables it to slip over the puffs and curls, so much worn. Silks, challics and cottons show s tendency to having a supplementary border of solid tone. An idea of the most novel effects may be gained by mentioning a new tulle of white with a scattered pattern of dull red roses and soft green foliage. The border was In Greek key effect, and beneatfe there appeared a band of solid black.

Salmon in the United States ranked next to oysters in the value of the catch, being the leading species of fish in this respect.

PILGRIMS HEALED BY SITS RELIC Hundreds Join in Procession Following Many Miraculous Cures.

Chicago, July 27. With a triumphal procession headed by two women and

a boy, able to walk as a result of the

most marvelous cures effected by supplications to Saint Anne, the nine

days' celebration in honor of the feast of the saint at the St. Anne de Brighton Park Church ended last night. This

year's Novena has brought about an unusual number of remarkable cures. Afflicted persons from all parts of the

country prayed before the relic of

Saint Anne in search of relief. The three who headed the procession in honor of Saint Anne last night were Mrs. Josephine Patscheider, 561 West Forty-third place; Miss Emma Gutfleisch of St. Louis, and Leo Pakny 2017 Allport street. Mrs. Patscheider was cured of paralysis three years ago. Miss Gutfleisch was able to discard an extension shoe necessitated by a short limb a year ago, and the Pekny boy threw away his crutches this . week, though physicians had termed his case a hopeless combination of paralysis and spinal trouble. Hundreds participated in the procession about , the neighborhood of the church, all carrying candles and singing hymns in honor of the saint. Booths established at the entrance of the church supplied the crowds with candles, rosaries, crucifixes, prayer books and statues of Christ and Saint Anne. Crowds Are Greatest. This year's novena has attracted more people, according to the priests in charge of the services, than any of the previous years. People of all ages and all stations in life have venerated the relic of Saint Anne, a portion of the wrist bone. Many have reported relief from maladies and restorations of their body. John Scholtens, Thirty-seventh place and Bertillion street, went before the altar of Saint Anne last evening, able to walk only with the assistance of a friend and a cane, and he left unaided, twirling his cane in his hand. He stated it was the. first relief from a paralytic affliction he had, obtained in four years. Mrs. Hannah Gavin, 6353 Justine street, was cured of a goitre which she declared had threatened her life. The shrine in the church is loaded with crutches and canes left during the novena.

Col. McElroy Wants to Be , Commander-in-Chief.

(Xational News Association) Washington, D. C, July 27. Colonel John McElroy, editor and publisher of The National Tribune of this city, confidently expects to be elected to the office of commander-in-chief -of the Grand Army of the Republic at the national encampment in Rochester next month. Colonel McElroy was a candidate for the honor at the national encampment at Atlantic City last year, bltt was defeated, by John E. Gilman of Boston. At that time charges were made against Colonel McElroy of having used undue influence to secure his election. These charges subsequently were found to be without foundation and Colonel McElroy is said to be in receipt of assurances from State departments and local posts throughout the country which indicate that there will be practically no opposition to his candidacy at the Rochester encampment.

Rice In the Orient. Rice Is kept fer use iu the orient in its husk, just like horse oats or until rash ed wheat. It is called "paddy" and is beaten or thrashed for daily use. But pure husked rice is too rough and unattractive looking for world markets, so it is polished in revolving cylinders with French chalk to make it pretty, pearly and smooth. But this robs it of its outer layer and most valuable ftod qualities. Polished rice is regarded -as poison in Japan and is known to produce the dreadful epidemic disease beriberi in Japanese who live too exclusively on a rice diet and Mttln? little or no meat Exchange.

"WHEN HER LOVE GROWS COLD." -The young housewife who starts in to make a happy, ideal home for husband and prospective little ones, loses some of her courage when she sees the result of using the old-time Rosin

soaps in keeping her dishes, clothes, bed and table linen and other household washables clean. The poor little

hands which were her pride have be

come red, rough and cracked through using . strong soaps, and the more she exerts herself to attain cleanliness the

worse her hands become. Let her try Hewitt's Easy Task soap

Dishes will be really clean, the wash will be spotless white, and those little hands will soon regain their fair ap-
