NEW YORK (N.A.N.A.)—There's less Jure and romance in an ocean liner alongside a pler than there is in the murals that adorn the sumptuous of- fices of steamsihp companies and busi- ness houses having to do with the sea. ‘Take the interior, right off Broadway, of Lee, Higginson & Co. Around the walls in misty colors run s “pageant of the history of commerce by sea.” In this pageant the newest triumph of commercial art in a financial section continually growing in magnificence are all the storied ships of time. Alone on a vast sea sails a Phoenician galley, a ‘craft of antiquity, when every voyage was adventure. Slaves bend to the sweeps of an Egyptian galley, her sails set. ‘There are Greek, Roman, Viking and early English ships and a Spanish cara- vel with billowing lanteens. The ships of Columbus, the Mayflower, Old Iron- sides and the American Clipper, Fly- ing Oloud, are pictured with fidelity. Later come the five-masted vessel, the New Bedford whaler, the early steam- ships, and finally the Leviathan and the airplane carrier Lexington. Griffith B. Coale, who did these mu- rals, also made the ships of paint which sail the walls of the Half Moon Hotel, Coney Island. His exactitude in painting ships comes from intimate knowledge of boats. He is secretary of the Shipmodels’ Society and sails in a 21-foot sloop, the Snark, named for one in which Jack London salled the Pacific. (Copyright, 1929.) Penitent Invalid, Who Laid Ills to God’s Wrath, Dies Mississippi Logging Town Pays Tribute to Him at Bier. | By the Associated Press. . RICHTON, Miss., August 3.—A shrine of pennance was closed here late Wed- nesday evening with the interment of J. ‘T. Wilder, former logging superintend- ent for the Richton Lumber Co., and for the past three years an invalid. All business houses in Richton were closed as the town paid tribute to “Dad” Wilder's exemplary life. Wilder had been a resident of this community for many years and several years ago, he was stricken with a form of rheumatism which gradually grew so serious that three years ago he was nfined to his bed and 18 months ago he became paralyzed and was un- able to move hand or foot. Soon after his misfortune overtook im, Wilder declared that he was quite that he was being providential- ly ished because he had spent a B jfon of his life in disobedience to an early call to the ministry. Although his body was useless, his mind was unusually active and in the midst of intense suffering, he main- tained a cheerful and hopeful spirit. So firmly did he believe in Divine mani: festation in his affliction and so fal ;nmn ‘to visit him. Ministers of vary- ng faiths came to sit at his bedside w0 talk of their religion and to pray with. “Dad” Wilder. “Dad” _finally passed nn& Tuesday night, the community { into mourning.
