14 TRCABISHOP BUYS VAN NADONNA Peking Papal Delegate Pur-f chases Work of American } Woman Artist. j | By the Associated Press. PEKING, May 18.—A painting of the Madonna by an American artist, Mrs. | Bertha Lum, has been chosen by the ! papal delegate to China for his private chapel in Peking. | His excellency, Archbishop Celso Con- stantini, apostolic ~ representative, | searched several years before finding a | picture which met all his qualifications. Mrs. Lum, formerly Miss Bertha Boynton Bull of Tipton and Cedar | Rapids, Towa, has had a studio in| Peking six vears, coming here from | Tokio. She is best known in the United States for her Japanese wood block prints exhibited at the Panama Pacific | International exposition in San Fran- cisco in 1915. Mrs. Lum, a graduate of the Chicago Art Institute, also has ex- hibited prints as well as paintings in New York. Washington, Chicago. Min- | neapolis, London, Paris, The Hague and cities in the Orient. Face Is Composite. The artist'’s interpretation of the eountenance of this Mother of God, copies of which are to be hung in every | Catholic Church in China, is neither Occidental nor Oriental, but rather a composite face, art critics here agreeing | that the soft blues and greens and the | Aark and pale yellows will harmonize | splendidly with the decorations in the various edifices of worship. Chin: Headquarters of the papal dele were established in Peking five ago. Mgr. Constantini resided tem- porarily in Hankow several years until the Chinese Catholics persuaded him that the proper place for the dele- gation was in the centuries old capital, which at that time was “not only the first city in the land, but also the home | of the earliest apostles of the gospel.” What was previously the Chinese an- cestors' shrine, in which the tablets of | the dead of the family were venerated i according to Chinese rites of many cen- turies standing, now has been converted into an altar. Employs Ancient Process. | The grand hall, in the old days re- served for reception of princes of the blood, has become the pontifical audi- ence chamber, dominated by the por- traits of the Pope. After 15 years in Japan, specializing on the making and printing of wood cuts, Mrs. Lum came to Peking to con- tinue her art. The wood block process. she uses is virtually the same as that employed 300 to 400 vears ago, all of | the work being done by hand. | it SKULL FRACTURE FEARED.

Her business of selling handsome shoes to the elite began as a hobby with $3,000 capital, a gift of her father. noticed some unusual shoes of leather and woven cord, worn by Balkan peas- ants. She made a drawing and sent it Bohemian shoemaker to copy the draw- | Ing, using straw instead of the original | woven cord. The result was the Deau- ville sandal. | ‘The Joplin girl established a factcry and began with a small crew of skillful | shoemakers.

MARY BENDELARIL Emergency Aid in the 0il Field. | The efforts of the Government to get coal mine laborers interested in safety | measures has proven such a great suc- | cess that the same process is being in- | oduced among the workers in the oil industry. First-aid teams were organ- ized among the coal workers, and by | the means of contests a great interest was aroused among the workers so that | every mining center in Pennsylvania | and other mining localities had their | first-aid squads properly organized and | equipped for any kind of services they | would be called upon to perform. The | system is now being extended to the oil fields of Indiana, where there are thou- sands of persons engaged in the prepa- ration of oil and gas for consumption. ‘The value of the training was dem- onstrated recently in Colorado, where a workman was overcome by the fumes | from a gas well that he had just put in operation.
