Painters Athens, Greece, MiY¥ch® 3.—King -Constantine is fond of referring to himself as “only a soldier”, but in Greece hé jis also famous as a patron of The axts. “He is not a collector of | GREATEST ACTIVITY SINCE ’61° MAKING SOLDIERS’ UNIFORMS old pictures or, like his brother Prince | | :fl:h:h’n.h. conservator of antiquities, ut he is a very priigtical W ‘where young Greek aftists are: cerned: and .for patriotic: rather artistic reasons. - He wants to see tm new Greece také a part in_the astis- tic activity of the world in keeping with her nnwnl aspirations in other lines. King, Con-untine- love of Corfu is perhaps the basis of his preference for the young Greek painter Lycurgus Kogevinas, a ‘Corfiote by birth, who has put Corfu on canvass as no one else. The vague mystery of the isl« and lives in his landsgapes, with thejr soft greys ma greens, lofty cypreuu like waving plumes abd distant Vene- tian castles crowning the hilis.- - King Constantine likes to sliow off his pictures himself, as if he were in part mmnqblo for them, as he is; a8 a matter of ‘fact. ““Count Mercati, grand marshal of the court, sent a note to the Associated Press correspofident: bidding him, o behalf of the king, “to come to the palace at tea time if he wantea to' see Wome good: pictures.” 'The king was seated in' his stidy in upiform, his legs stretched omt in front of him, wide apart, the spurs digging intb the carpet. Before him, resting on the floor. and leaning’ against a sofa in full light from the great windows, a canvas of Kovevinas: Corfu—the very soul of Corfu; soft greens; the gray of ‘age-old walls; a sky misty by twilight; proud, tufted cedars like pennants planted on the hills; the white rib- bon of a winding road. King Costan- tine motioned the .correspondent to come' behind him, whence the best light fell upon the picture. . “Great, what?” exclaimed the sov- éreign, beaming with delight in' the frank, spontaneous way so character- istic of him. “Corfu, right enough,” he added. And then somewhat grim- 1y: wonder when I'll see the place again! He dismissed this phase of the subject at once however, waving his hand at two other canvassés by the same artist, hanging just opposite the mgnarch’s desk where he can look up from\his work and transiate him- self to the beloved island at a glance. “Part of the expression of ‘a coun- try’s soul is in its art, isn't it? Well you see, ours is coming to Ilife again after all the centuries ~ under * the Turks. The, king strode across the room and dug out from behln: a ta- ble a long package, which' he un- wrapped' himself -and held balanced on'a chair-back for the correspondent to see: three sketches of; the Acropo- lis—one by midday, another at sunset and the third by moonlight, also the work of Kogevinas.' “Its a beginning,” said the monarch, proudly. “A gen- eration of peace and development in Greece and you Americans wilk have to 160k te your artistic lauréls.’”’ King Constantine’s portrait has been paintéd by the artists of many lands, including the famous canvas by Las- lo. But his latest portrait is by an- other young Greek artist, Costa Philit- is, who at the beginning of the war was a volunteer in the French For- eign Legion. He was wounded, decor- ated with the war cross, and returned to Greece to finish his convalescence, where he arrived penniless. King Con- ) stantine commissioned the youth to paint a ‘portrait to help him out, and the young man promptly made good. Kogevinas studied in Paris; Philitis in Belgium. The best known portrait- ist in Greece, Anastasias Loukidis, ‘is a pupil of Dak of Amsterdam. The principal decorative artist, Panyotis Aravantinos, studied in Berlin. Phil- itis born of Greek parents in| Odessa, Loukidis in Smyrna; Koge- vinas in Corfu. At the last exhibition of the works of Greece artists in Athens, twenty- seven ‘ painters, ‘gight sculptors K and one architect posed their work. Lycurgus Kogevinas carried off the honors. ” CHEMICAL PLANT BURNS, Loss at Sweetwater, Tenn., May Reach R $200,000.

President Wilson is the oldest ex- ecutive of the United States for the last 60 years, He is 60 years old, a span of years that -no President has crossed since the inauguration of Buchanan in 1857. 5 Incidentally, the President is one of the six oldest executives ever in the _White House. Previous to 1861 the men chosen.to hold the reins of goy- ernment genérally reached a late period in life before their election. John Adams was 61 when inaugurat- ed in 1707; Jackson also was 61 when first inaugurated in 1829. William Henry Harrison was the oldest man ever chosen fro the presidency, being 68 at the time of his inauguration in 1841. Taylor was 64 and Buch- .anan 65, respectively when they were inaugurated, Aside. from these, -all presidents have been younger than Woodrow Wilson When entering the White House. .
