And Vet They Say "Respect The Law" Lyman 11. Cook, Si, Lotus at- torney, is a collector of freak laws. Here are some of his ex- hibits: If you sing at a bar in Wis- consin, drive a red automobile in Minneapolis, eavesdrop in Okla- homa, m are y your mother-in- law in the District of Columbia, or arrest a dead mans for a debt in New York, you may run afoul of the law. Legally, according to Cook, ci- tizens of Barre, Vermont, are re- quired to take a bath every Saturday night; every male in Brainerd, Minnesota, must grow a beard; and the female popula- tion of Providence, Rhode Island, cannot wear transparent apparel, — even silk or nylon stockings. Custom dictated many strange laws, yet when times changed no o n e remembered to repeal them. Thus, in Oregon a girl can- not legally enter an automobile with a young man unless accom- panied by a chaperone. In Utah ,daylight must be seen between a dancing couple. A man in Lewes, Delaware, cannot wear trousers that are form -fitting around the hips, while in Reading. Pennsyl- vania, a woman cannot hang un- derwear on a clothesline unless a screen is present.. Romance, of course. has al- ways come under the law's scru- tiny. Only a few years ago a husband was fined $15 for kiss- ing his wife in a Chicago park. Kissing in public is also taboo 10 Georgia. In Massachusetts, a state surprisingly lenient with the ten- der passion. ten kisses are equiv- alent to a marriage proposal. A hug and kiss in the presence of the girl's parents, combined with several gifts of candy. are enough 10 announce your intentions in Minnesota; in Maryland, 11 you make six visits to a girl's home you are as good as hitched. Once married. you c an law fully direct profanity at your wife if y o u lite ie Delaware, while in Michigan the law says a husband owns all his wile's clothing and can take possession of her entire warrh'nhe if ch' - ever leaves him In matters of health., as well as heart. lawmakers have ruled sternly at times. A San Francisco ordinance prohibits the spraying of laundry clothes by water emit- ted from the mouth. Omaha bane the use of the same ilrteer bowl by more than one person: and its Waterville.

Where Ail Animas • Came From Elsewhere e One of the strangest things about Now Zealand is that orig- inally it had no land mammals. no snakes, no fruit trees and no cereal grains or grasses of the kinds that animals eat. There was one poisonous insect. a little spid er that lives on some of the beach. es. When the Maoris canoe to the islands, they brought some dogs and a kind of black rat with them in Their canoes, but there are none of these dogs left now. and the rats are very rare. When the white settlers came, they had to bring into the coun- try all of the cattle, sheep, and other domesticated animals. They alio had to import- clover and other .pasture grasses. for the animals to eat. and then they had to impart bees In polhniee the (!over Yet to -day New Zea- land is one of the greatest sheep and cattle countries in the world, and has znarty fruit trees, Deer, phe.teants, rainbow trout. rab- bits. stoats. and- ferrets a r e among the kinds of animals and freshwater fief) that have becii in -ought in New Zc alaed and have flourished.

They Sure Suffered For Their Art It is acid that Sir Alfred Man- nings, who likes a horse on can- vas to took like the real thing, was taken to an exhibition by artists of an advanced school When he had been round his guide asked, "What d'vmi think of them?" "I think," kiunnincg said, "that these chaps have at least kept the Ten Commandments." "What d'you mean?" "I mean that they've not made to themselves the likeness of anything that is in the earth beneath, or that is iv the waters under, the earth." Visitors to the Royal Academy are unlikely to see pictures of that sort, 'though Whistler once succeeded in getting a painting by an "advanced" artist hung there. When the artist beheld his masterpiece, he groaned, "They've hung nay picture up- side down!" "Hush," Whistler whispered, "the committee refused it the Other way." Little do those lvIas warnder through the gaiiories know df the labour, the sacrifice and the heartache that goes into some of the pictures. They glance at a picture depicting a frosty win- ter's morning without realizing that the artist may have been up and out at first light, his fin- gers stilt with the cold, for the true artist will suffer almost anything to achieve the effects he wants. The public examining surae of Turner's wilder seascapes might well wonder how the artist got his effete The question was once put to hien by Charles Kingsley. "1 wished to paint a storm at sea," Turner explained, "so I went to the coast of Holland and engaged a fisherman to take the out in his boat in the next etorm, The storm was brewing, so I went. down to his boat, and bade him to bind me to the mast. Ther, lie drove the boat out in- to the teeth of the storm. "Not only did I see that 5101111 and feel it but it blew itself into me till I became pact of the storm. And then 1 genie `pack and painted that picture' Sir William Orpen's colour ei- fects were amazing. Once, an amateur who had tried and tail- ed to get anything- like -the .ane results, asked. "Hots d., yo,; mi,; your coluers. Orpen"" "With brains, nit," u0 readied. The tree rtrti.,t Bate,, to part with itis work.

To her dismay the figure wars accepted at once; and she wag so desolate that it was three rnanthe before she could touch a brush. -Artists will go anywhere and heave almost any danger to put on canvas the subjects they have chosen. In 1940 Barnett Freed- man was ordered to board a ship for England at once, but remem- bering that his painting, "Air- craft Runway in Construction at Arran," was in his hotel, he sits - regarded the order and rushed back through streets packed with refugees who were being mach- ine-gunned by Nazi 'planes.

Edward Bawden c. u'ked tee. erishly ee- erishly on the Dunkirk beechen during the evacuation, and bin pictures now form Dart of a his- torical record of the event. William Frith used 3,000 mod. els for his famous picture, "Derby Day," and during the work lived on Epsom Downs, was swindled by card sharpers, had his pocket picked and tris fortune told by gipsies. Luckily he made a good loot of money on that work. After seeing the preliminary sketch a dealer offered him $4,500 tar the completed painting, and an. other agreed to• pay $4.500 for the engraving rights, So, before he put his brush on canvas. ns' was $9,000 "in packet," The crowd pressed about turn so closely while he worked on the picture that an iron rail- ing was built Found him for pro- tection and a policeman stood guard over him. Sir to ilium Orpen was tone missioned to paint the "Signing of the Peace Treaty at Ver- sailles," and tor ['tine menthe worked day and night on the portraits of forty statesmen and high ranking officers. When the picture was ttnish- ed he felt thoroughly dissatis- fied with their smug faces and rubbed the lot out, Instead ho painted "The Unknown Soldier,'" lying in the Hall of Mirrors xuarded bs' two gaunt spectres from the trenches. The Imperial War Museum re- fused it and Orpen forfeited hie commission of 26,000.
