SALE OF PAINTINGS T0 FEATURE ‘FAI Arts Club Event Affords Op- portunity to Acquire Local Artists” Work.: Opportunity will be afforded to pic- ture lovers to have genuine water- colors, oil paintings or etchings in their homes for a moderate sum by the sales which will be held at the “Foire aux Croutes,” the French Fair of the Arts Club, on October 16,'17 and 18. Many artists have contributed works. These paintings are considered good by others of impartial judgment. One particularly lovely water-color of cherry trees in blossom. showing faintly the Washington Monument shaft in the background, is included among the 60 or more water-colors which have been contributed. In &d- ditlon, “there are over 90 oil paintings and approximately 50 etchings. Gifts of Varied Types. In addition to the sale, an exhibition will be held in conjunction with the} fair, at which the more ambitious works of artists will be exhibited and offered for sale. 5 A variety of gifts, known to the fair management as “white elephants.” are | arriving at the Arts Club daily. A particularly interesting assortment has arrived from Mrs. Hewstone Ray- | menton, who has contributed a number of trophies collected in various parts of the world. A “coconut stool” from Malay represents a weird carved and painted wooden animal, upon which the Malayan women sit when grinding | coconuts in the markets. i From_another part of the world, | Sicily, Mrs. Raymenton picked up an| ancient carved Madomma, used by the natives on their brilliantly colored street carts, Other Oddities Offered. Peacock fans from the temples of | India, barbaric weapons, a carved and | ancient wooden figure head of | Elizabethan times from an old Eng- lish church. and ‘a" wrought iron brazier, purchased in Damascus from the markets in the “Street Called Straight,” are some of the oddities| which will be found in the booths of the fair. One of the most interesting features of the fair will be the collection of sec- ond-] music, gathered from the musicians and musie #tudios of Wash- ington by Miss Sade Styron.

The other 13 victims were recovering in Flagstaff and Puba City hospitals. Twenty-five others were slightly in- jured, but were treated at the scene by physicians. Willlam P. Wallace of Flagstaff, a chauffeur, may not survive his injuries, doctors sald. He suffered a fractured skull and possible interpal injuries. A powder man and electrician named Gariland was the other seriously in- jured. He is at Tuba City with a frac- tured skull. 3 ‘The company had been sent to Ari- zona by Pathe Studios, Inc. to make a desert plcture which called for a landslide. Powder and dynamite had been placed in the side of a cliff and cameramen were spotted on points of vantage. 2 Suddenly the charge exploded, hurl- ing rocks and debris in all directions, shattering two of the cameras, ruining the sound eulpment and knocking members of the company down. ‘With the exception of the two Flag- men, all the victims are from llywood.

ATTORNEYGENERAL OF MARYLAND DIES Thomas H. Robinson Strick- en Suddenly at Bel Air Home. Special Dispatch to The Star. BELAIR, Md., October 13.—8tricken with a heart attack, Thomas H. Robin- son, attorney general of Maryland for the past seven years, died suddenly at his home here yesterday. He was 70 years oid. Mr. Robinson’s death causes a Va= cancy in the ranks of candidates for election to State offices November 4, since he was running to succeed him- self. Under the Maryland laws, the Democratic State Central Committee must meet before next Saturday to nominate a candidate to take his place. Governor Cancels Engagements. The attorney general's death came as a surprise even to those intimate with him,- although he had complained of not feeling well for several days. He died seven hours after the heart attack seized him. Gov. Albert C. Ritchie expressed him- self as completely unnerved by the death of his collegue. He canceled all speaking engagements, including his Columbus day appointments for yester- day, and the enfire Democratic cam- paign is expected| to come almost to a standstill until after the funeral Wed- nesday. Mr. Robinson had been a figure in Maryland Democratic politics for the last 40 years. He first served in the State Senate in 1892. In more recent years he always attended the Demo- cratic National Conventions as a dele- gate. He was chairman of the State delegation in 1920 and again in 1924, Leader in Hgrford. One of his first official acts as at- torney general was to concur in a rul- ing of his predecessor, Alexander: Arm- strong, that the enforcement of the prohibition laws was not incumbent upon the police of Baltimore City. This decision brought him much notoriety. Since 1890 Mr. Robinson had been the Democratic leader of Harford County, where he lived and practiced law. He was one of the chief lieuten- ants of the -late John Walter Smith when he was the dominant figure in Maryland Democracy. 'Mr. Robinson played an fmportant part in the nomi- nation by the Democrats of both Isador Raynor for the United States Senate and of Gov. Ritchle for his second term in 1928, LABOR PARTY NATION'S NEED, SAYS HOWAT Workers Comprising 85 Per Cent|ls of Population Must Be Repre- sented, He Says. By the Associated Press. OLIVE, Il, October 13.—Alexander Howat, long a leader in mine union affairs’ and now bitter critic of John L.

Howat urged the miners to indorse the movement for a Labor party, which, he said, already had taken root in some Southern Ilitnois cities. He said the re- {organized wing of the United Mine Workers, of which he is head, proposed to obtain enactment of the old-age pension bill, &5 well as the enactment of a law which would obtain unem- ployment insurance for the workers, AMERICAN PAINTER SUCCUMBS IN PARIS Harrison Had Lived Most of Life in France—Was Alexander Philadelphia Resident.

The line, when enerated the surface, moved in a direction mot to be found in the line itself. Had it moved in its own direc- ton it would have produced merely 2 | longer line. The surface, when it swept | out the solid, moved also in a direction not to be found in itself. Had it moved along_either of its own dimensions or any intermediate direction it would have generated merely s larger surface. Now if we move a solid, say a cube, in any direction contained in itself we pro- duce merely a larger solid. To generate a four-dimensional figure it would be necessary to move the cube in some di- rection not to be found in solid space.

And, strange as it may seem, if we once make the fun- damental assumption of the existence of it is_possible to bulld up & geometry -of four dimen- sional space as consistent and as logical as plane or solid geometry, though per- haps a little more difficult. ‘The writer has recently constructed a set of wire models llustrating one of | the theorems of this four dimensional geometry. These models will be Kept on exhibition at the Bureau of Stand- ards. The theorem refers to the number of regular figures possible in four di- mensional space. In plane or two dimensional geom- etry there is an_ endless succession of regular figures, the equilateral triangle, the square, the pentagon and so forth, approaching the circle as a limit. In solid or three dimensional geometry there are possible five regular solids— the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, do- decahedron and icosahedron. 1In. four dimensional geometry there are six.reg- ular figures, named and described as follows: The 4-hedroid, bounded by 4 tetrahe- dra; the 8-hedroid, bounded by 8 cubes; the’ 16-hedroid, bounded by 16 tetra- hedra; the 24-hedroid, bounded by 24 octahedra; the 120-hedroid, bounded by 120 dodecahedra. and the 600-he- droid, bounded by 600 tetrahedra.
