16 THE 'EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. c, — WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 192[.° SPIRAL IN ARCHITECTURE LIKELY - INSPIRED BY PRINCIPLE OF NATURE URBANA, 1, November 30.— Tracing the history and develop- ment of the volute or spiral in ar- chitecture, Frof. Rexford Newcomb of the Vniversity of Illinols, in & university bulletin just published, contradicts ancient bellef, and as- serts that the spiral as a part of the Ionic capital had its origin in Greece and not in Assyria. Whether the spiral developed from the ancient style of women's hair dress, shell forms, leaf cur- vatures, horn of sheep and goats, spiral motion of breakers on the beach, or the habitual bodily con- figuration of snakes, Prof. New- comb does not attempt to say. He advances the idea that the “volute, as an art-form is the nat- ural outcome and the logical result of man's environment; that the volute is inseparably linked with nature; * * ® that with the appre- ciation’ by man of this principle in nature it becomes a part of his natural experience, a thing to be felt. as rhythm or color, and that it would seem childish, 'therefore, to explain the introduction of the volute into the lonic order as the result of man's imitation of the curve of any particular natural form.” The professor goes into some tail in giving his reasons for cred- iting the Greeks with first incor- _poration of the spiral in the Ionic column. 3 “The volute,” he writes in con- clusion, “is one of the most uni- versally occurring curves in na- ture; it represents a principle in nature, a fundamental law of growth. It isedynamic, infinite and mysterious in its significance, and hence has from the earliest times had a great appeal to mankind, and has entered deeply into the art expression of all ages.” WINS CORN SWEEPSTAKES CHICAGO, November 30.—Frank Lux, fifteen years old, Shelbyville, Ind., boy, won the sweepstakes in the junior corn contest at the interna- tional grain and hay show. The judges declared his ten-ear sample the best ever exhibited here. In a previous junior state contest in In- diana the boy raised 101.6 bushels of | corn on a single acre. District winners in the contest, for which a special premium list was of- fered by the Chicago Board of Trade in addition to the $10,000 in prizes, included Eugene Troyer of La Fon- taine, Ind. GRAIN PARLEY PLANNED. | U. S. MOVIE ACTORS IN SOUTH SEAS Effort Started to Stop Violent Price Fluctuations. 'WINNIPEG, Manitoba, November 29. —The recently appointed royal grain commission may soon grow into an international body for elimination of violent grain price fluctuations by regulating the movement of crops. Justice Hyndman, its chairman, said today, announcing & resumption of the commission's sessions. Justice Hyndman said_correspond- ence had taken place between the commission and the governments of the United States and Australia with a view to arranging a conference of grain exporting countries of the world to consider the whole problem of world marketing of grain. Each government has entertalned the proposal sympathetically, he said, and the commission probably will recommend to the Canadian govern- ment that Invitations be extended to the proper authoritles. BARTHOLDI TO TIE UP. Anpouncement was made today by Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, officer jn charge of public buildings and grounds, that the United States steamboat Bar- tiaoldl, which has been operated during the spring, summer and autumn be- tween the O street wharf and East Po- tomac Park, will be withdrawn today for the sei.sol HALTED BYJOKES OF NATIVE “SUPERS” By the Associated Press. PAPEETE, Tahiti, October 30 (by Mail).—During the past month, Tahiti has been a vast moving picture studio. A company of American “movie” actors has been staging a hectic drama of love and hate in the South seas.

There has been_no little difaulty in_getting the native “supers’ to take their parts_seriously. When the big aeroplane engine started the hur- ricane, which was to sweep the native village to the four quarters of the compass, the inhabitans, in- stead of rushing from their totter- ing huts and registering conster- nation, . stood around in groups laughing at the artificial destruc- tion and incidentally spolling sev- eral hundred feet of valuable film.
