A—12 'NIGHTMARES' PUT IN ART EXHIBIT Violent Stabs of Color De- picting World in Chaos Displayed. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, October 17—A| world in chaos is drawn in violent stabs of color on some of the can-| vases on display today at Carnegie | Institute’s 1936 international exhibi- | tion of paintings. 1 From France came a nightmare in red and green and green and yellow red for blood, green for death, yell for decay. Edouard Goerg calied his | painting “The Way of the World | and What." Goerg spattered bilious eyes over | the canvas, looking down on a bewil- dering succession of stabbings, stran- gulations and itations, with | headless bodies floating in the back- | ground. From Spain, for a one-man show | in connection with the international, { Jose Gutierrez Solana sent Bunnh ne,” in which grinning | a trumpet call over a . Solana put a funeral protession in | the foreground and a torch-bearing | file of marchers in the background | de blackened by fire. | Edgar Ende, German painter, ex- | hibited “The Tents"—Roman legion | tents, with a man's figure at the en- | trance of each. The figures have no | arms or legs. In the United States section of the exhibition Umberto Romano's “Amer- | ican Progress” starts with an Indian in chains, a rope looped around his | neck; leads to a colored man bound | to a cross, and ends with a hooded figure on horseback, pointing the way backward. Peasants in smocks forge across John R. Grabach's “Horizon,” thrust- ing scythes and bayonets ahead of them and grasping knives and brick- bats behind their backs. Underfoot is a city; in the distance a new me- tropolis. Ivan le Lorraine Albright used a ghastly green for “And God Created Man in His Own Image"—a bloated | figure of & man in a derby hat, his ¢lothing rotting from his body. A dejected man sits atop a dizzy pile of discarded automobile tires on round in Johanna K. W. Hailman's “Wreckers.,” but on the horizon the sun shines through clouds. The paintings are among 323 rep- | resenting six countries in the exhibi- tion. COOPER FUNERAL HELD | Bervices Conducted in Club House of Committee of 100. MIAMI BEACH, Fla., October 17 (® —Funeral services for Clayton Sedgwick Cooper, mourned as a “very gallant gentleman,” were held today | in the club house of the Committee of | 100, over which he presided since its founding 11 years ago. Dr. John Oliver La Gorce, associate editor of the National Georgraphic Magazine, eulogized the 67-year-old | author, minister and world traveler as | & man whose passing left “our world much poorer.” Cooper died Tuesday in a Rochester, | Minn., hospital. Slays Self WIDOW OF TONY CUGINO FOLLOWS GANGSTER. il FRANCES CUGINO, Young widow of Tony “the Stinger,” who hanged himself @ year ago in a New York jail ajter being named as trigger- man in the local slaying of Allen B. Wilson, shot herself through the heart in Philadel- phia Friday. Wilson, a news- paper route agent, was shot down two years ago by gang- sters lying in wait for Mickey McDonald, Washington gam- bler, in front of his Takoma Park home. Mrs. Cugino, left without funds, had been work= ing in a Philadelphia cigar factory. THE ELECTION SYSTEM Cites Number Who Fail to Cast Ballot. By the Assoctated Press. in the popular vote for President this Fall, Simon Michelet is convinced this country has “the silliest election | machinery you could think of.” Michelet is president of the Na-| | tional Get-Out-the-Vote Club. Ever | since 1924 the middle-aged, red- | | haired, crisp-speaking lawyer has | made a hobby of trying to get all eligible voters to visit the polls. He estimated that between 41 or 42 million voters would play a part in| picking the next President this Fall, as compared to 39,816522 ballots | that were counted four years ago. Another Washingtonian who makes | a hobby of tabulating votes, Wl]lmm; Tyler Page, minority clerk of the House, said the total vote this yenr, might reach 43,000,000 or more. ! But Page and M)chelet agreed that even 43,000,000 would be a poor show- | ing for the more than 70,000,000 per- | sons listed by the Census Bureau as | of voting age. | Page pointed to Germany's voting | record, where he said half of the | 60,000,000 population voted. “They hold elections on a Sunday and every one 20 years or older | votes.” he said. “Maybe we ought to .m that here.” Michelet said ballots must be made | short and snappy. | “There is no reason for New York | State, as an example, to have a raft of names on the ballot,” IS CALLED “SILLY" | Get-Out-the-Vote Club Head | Despite an expected all-time peak | he said. “Why | |- SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, lots of people get confused and fail to even vote for President, because too many presidential electors are listed. | “The average voter wants to do what he is doing and to be sure that he is counted. That's one reason that keeps millions away from the polls.” The get-out-the-vote enthusiast said with a chuckle that his first move back in 1924 met with some sales re- sistance. “I had lots of data collected and I fnew it would take quite a little money to really get this before the voters,” he recalled. “Well, I soon found that the-Democrats and the Re- publicans were not interested in get- ting out all the vote. “What they wanted was to get out the Democrats and the Republicans.” But Michelet financed the printing of data showing that for every 100 | persons who voted for President in 1920 there were 96 stay-at-home or | absentee voters. Kentucky strongest that year, he said, with only | 24 inactive voters for every hundred, while Pennsylvania had 133 none voters for every 100 ballots. Michelet has continued his cam- paign by sending out detailed data | | ever since. “I'm not disheartened,” the ballot booster said. “The snowball is roll- ing. The American people are getting voting minded.” AD\'EITISEM N’l' 'STUBBORN RHEUMATISM When your stubborn rheumatism. neuritis or rheumatic gout is caused or ageravated by excess uric acid— and most cases are—one swift power- ful safe formula is Allenru Capsules— often_the terrible pain and agony go in 4% hours—ask any live drugeist in America for Allenru Capsules—jyou won't be disappointed.

C., OCTOBER 18, MAE WEST, LATE, MISSES ROBBERY Would Have Had Situation Under Control Quickly, She Asserts. By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, Cplif., October 17.— There might have been a different story if Mae (Diamond Lil) West and her bodyguard had arrived while two men were robbing other residents in the basement garage of the swanky apartment house where she lives. And the difference probably would not have been in favor of the robbers, she indicated today. “I think we would have got the | situation under control right away,” the film actress said. “This robbery business is getting to be too much of 1936—PART ONE. a habit—and we are prepared for such things.” ‘The habitually bejeweled Miss West rolled into the garage last night a few minutes after the hold-up men had terrorized and robbed five men and three women of more than $500 in money and jewelry. Believing the robbers may have planned to hold up Miss West, po- lice said the men probably did not expect so many others to arrive before she did, and decided to leave before the situation became too complicated. The robbers drove off in the automo- bile of Clements Ripley, a writer, one of the victims, and abandoned it a block away. Controlling Instinct.
