Q.—I8 musio In rank with fine arts, or do the fine arts consist only of sculpture, painting, architecture and engraving? READER. A.—-Fine Arts is the generic term for those arts intended primarily to affect the emotions, such as sculp- ture, painting, music, etc, as dis- tinguished from the useful arts which serve the physical needs of life. Art in general may be defined as the exercise of the creative fac- ulty thru some form of material ac- tivity controlled and inspired by the intellect.

By William Philip Simms (United Press Staff Correspondent) PARIS, Aug. 3.—(By Mail)—Northern France accuses Southern France of lacking courage, of possessing a yellow streak, of talking a whole lot and doing little in the way of slaughtering Germans. Since the very com- mencement of the war stories have been going the rounds concerning the behavior of certain regi- ments, said regiments be- ing recruits in the Midi— Southern France. | Boiled down, these sto- ries have it that these reg- iments turned and fled in disorder immediately they found themselves under | fire; that this happened more than once, but that | the guilty regiments had | been badly punished.
