A—10 JEFFERSON'S BUST PLACED IN CAPITOL Davis Lauds Early President in Dedication Speech at Richmond. By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va, September 23.— Thomas Jefferson’s supreme service to his countrymen was that he gave them thelr social and, in the truest sense, * their political creed, John W. Davis, Democratic presidential candidate in 1924, said today at the dedication cf a bust of the author of the Declaration of Independence in the Virginia Cap- itol. “Armed with such weapons as Jeffer- son forged,” he said, “lovers of freedom can still go forth in this faith conquer- ing and to conquer.” Speaker at Ceremony. Mr. Davis was the principal speaker at the ceremony attending the placing of the bust, a gift of Prench citizens, in one of the niches of the rotunda of the | capital which Jefferson himself de- signed. Jefferson was Minister to France frcm the United States and the bust is a copy of the bust by the fa- mous French sculptor, Houdon. He referred to Jefferson as “the fore- most liberal of the modern world,” and as “a dreamer who had the priceless gift of kncwing how to make his dreams come true.” Jeférson, he said, was a liberal who believed “the law is but public sentiment made-vocal and that man’s better impulses can be trusted to prevail.” Briefly reviewing Jefferson’s ideal of | Mr. Davis said they might | vernment, called glittering generalities, “but the 13:&-; that glances from them is re- | down the ages.” Faith of a Great Soul. *A tissue of abstractions, do you ? Well, even 8o, there Tuns through the weaving like a thread of P est gold, the faith of a great in the worth and dignity of each individ- ual man,” Mr, Davis said. “When democracy as a form of gov- ernment is broadly challenged, as it is today; when those who thirst for power or place or privilege seek to entrench themselves behind unequal laws; whence centralization in government threatens to strangle the rights of its citizens in its bureaucratic cofls; when misguided virtue strives to make other virtuous by hedging them about with interdictions and restraints; when economy in the disbursement of public revenues is for- gotten in a mad scramble for govern- mental bounty—those who have the heart and mind to do battle on the other side can turn again to Jefferson end his teachers and gather new strength and courage for the unending combat.” More than 60 descendants of Jeffer- son attended the ceremony.

NEW YORK, September 23.—A painting of a man conversing with a yak is just as bewildering to the lay- man today as cubistic cabbages and fu- turistic fancies were in the early days when a school of young French artists “went modern.” “Conversation With a Yak” is the title of one of the modern French and Amer- ican paintings now on exhibition. It deglcts a huge beast discussing a vital subject with a caricature of a small, chubby man. Sur-Realist Exhibit. In the sur-realist group of the exhib- iting painters, there is Joan Miro's “Pomme de Terre,” in other words, po- tato. What one is told is a potato or two are two little red and green spots down near the lower edge of the pic- ture.

It is chalk white. | A thin watch-like object in one corner has something like a caterpillar instexd of a flame, Two minute acrobats in red, yellow and green tights look like insects. Davis Stuart exhibits a still life of, according to the title, flowers. It em- there is a huge white tuba from which little black notes are blown that is un- doubtedly a lily.
