Recent political upheavals in Eurâ€" ope have created a dearth of the art objects and pictures that we importâ€" ed so freely in other years. However, this has ,in one sense, had a good efâ€" fect on fashions in pictures. For it has stimulated a revival of Americana and decorators have been scouring the older sections fo the country for varâ€" olus early types of pictures. To Leave the Men The Currier and Ives prints have had a great vogue of late not only because they fit in with the forthâ€" right maple interiors that we have likâ€" ed so well, but because they recreate in most minute detail life in the 18th Century, including country life, sportâ€" ing scenes, sea and naval customs, as will as public oczcasions and dramatic scenes. _ Another dure about theseâ€" the men go for them! Another type of distinctly American picture that has been revived recently is the tinsel painting.

The only difference now is that where we formerly got our better reproductions from Europe, there are many American manufacturers who are making fine reproductions and so they are bountiâ€" fully available. Among the smaller, less idominant types of old pictures in current vogue are the Holbein prints with a subtle hint of pink in the print. These are often framed in alâ€" most a modern way or else with a carved wood frame that has color rub repeating that subtle pink cast. P. M. Benneit‘s English scenes are also in demand; his pictures are views of quaint inns. hunting scenes and vilâ€" lage life in England. Dramatic snow scenes by the Russian Choultse are 8 WY worked paintin them 3 by Elizabeth MacRea Boykin in the average room, the flat gold frame is more appropriate and interestâ€" ing. When the elaborate carved wooden frames are used nowadays. are more likely to have the finish enâ€" tirely removed and a pickled or antiâ€" qued rub on them. Bamboi and leathâ€" er are being uysed widely for frames. There is a trend back toward the old oval wood molding frames, which not only makes an attractive pattern on wall but frames certain types of picâ€" tures most appropriately. Velvet Frames A frame that is being revived for many types of picutres is the velvet covered molding. This is sutiable for either modern or classic pictures. It is usually a very deep wood molding covâ€" ered with a soft tinted yvelvet that harmonizes with the picture to be usâ€" ed. Especially American with old Itâ€" alian profiles or with some of the at least an important part of it, For it no longer suffices to use just. any old frame that happens to fit. Picture frames are definitely a part of the decorative plan in any well designed room. It often gives an old master a fresh lease on life to use a rather modern type of frame, while someâ€" times very modern pictures are made interesting by the use of an old carvyâ€" ed frame bleached or pickled and then rubbed with some light or subtle colâ€" oring. The use of mirror frames is an important rend at the present time for both old and modern paintings. Some of these are antiqued and made into unusual moiding planes that dramatize a painting with great effecâ€" tvieness. Other mirror frames are in classic designs, and still others are frankly and outrightly modern. Mirâ€" ror is also being used as the mat around a~picture with a frame over it. There are some of the broad heavily carved gilded frames still being used and in â€" certain types of rooms these are perfectively chitrming. However, shown and liked and highly suitable for certain rooms. Chinese Ancestor Portraits and Jan anese prints are Interseting for Either Modern or Traditional Interiors Among the more ambitious types of pictures that we are using in reâ€" productions in decorations today are, of course, the matchless old masters. There are so many of these availably in fine reproductions that we could not list here all those that would be suitable and â€"beautiful for contemâ€" porary homes. We would suggest that you, in selecting this type of painting, choose a that particularly apâ€" peals to you and expresses your own taste. Here are some of our own perâ€" sonal favorite paintings by old mastâ€" ers, all of them easily available in good reproductions; Goya‘s "Lady With a Fan," Vigeeâ€"Lebrun‘s "Madame Mols Raymond," and also her painting of herself and her daughter, Leonardo da Vinci‘s ‘"‘Mona Lisa" and Beatrice d‘ Este, Lawrence‘s "Calmody Childâ€" ren" and ‘"Miss Crocker", Sir Joshua Reynolds‘s "Age of Innocence", Gainâ€" borough‘s "Biue Boy", not to mention cur own great American painter, Stuart, whose fine paintings of Washâ€" ington as well as portraits of Anferâ€" icans of the Federal period are highly appropriate for many interiors. But the list could go on much longer than this, for there arge so many beautiful old things available in fine reproducâ€" tions. A Fresh Point of View If you are a do not hesiâ€" tate to oselect some of the modern masters work as also shown in excelâ€" lent copies. There are pictures after Van Gogh, Gauguin, Rockwell Kent, Riviera, Marie Laurencin, Rerfoir, Monet and a host of others whose clear fresh point of view adapts itself to the mood of our times and seems particularly right in contemporary interiors.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIC Despatches from Ottawa this week suggested there may be no Diminion eclection this year after all, It is not so Icng azso that there appeared to be genâ€" eral belief that there would be an glecâ€" tion this year. Mr. Joseph A. Bradette, M. P., was of the opinion that it would be in October, while Mr. Walter Little, M. P., for Temiskaming, was quoted to the effect that it would be this fall, Word from Ottawa some weeks ago confirmed the opinions of the members from the North, though it was cmâ€" phasized that there had been no offiâ€" clal announcement of any kind. Now the statement from Ottawa is to the effect that uncertainty in Europe may defer the election until next year. "As long as the situation in Europe conâ€" tinues as it is, I don‘t think we would be justified in dissolving parliament," Prime Minister King is quoted as sayâ€" ing last week. To this he added the statement that he couldn‘t say as yet whether there will be an election this year,. as he had not decided the matter. (Released by Consolidated News Features, Inc.)

Stress the Importance of Industrial Minerals early American portraits. The use of shadow boxes is increasing to frame certain types of small pictures such as miniatures or old portraits. May Not be Any Dominion Election â€" This Year, dusiry ita¢l1f to be extremely aciive and well prepared to meet anticipated needs that may arise, according to L. H. Cole, of Mines and Resources, Citawa, whose paper on industrial minerals in Canada in 1938 appears in minerals in Canada in the June issue of the ts marketed directly, and.. in conseâ€" quence they have to be beneficiated. Not orily is the industry subjected to increasingly rigid specifications, but it is forever harassed by the possibility of competition from other.mingral proâ€" ducts invading its markets,. This hazard does not lie alone in the disâ€" covery of new substitute products, but may be cccasioned by the discovery of a new and cheaper supply of the same product. In Canada the production of phosphate is a typical example. In past years the production of apatite in the Dominion was quite active and, with large reserves, it was regarded as a thriving and permanent industry, But the discovery of the pebble phosphate deposits in Florida completely changed the picture in a few years, and now the Canadian production is negligible. That industrial minerals are now asâ€" suming the importance they dessorve is credited by Cole largely to the constant endeavour of the Industrial Minerals Section of the Canadian Inâ€" stitute of Minir:z and Metallurgy, which was established in 1932.

This mint n Last week a parade similar to one stopped in Timmins some months ago was broken up in Sudbury on Saturday night and a banner considered objecâ€" tionable seized by the police. The parâ€" ade was that of followers of Jud:e Rutherford. The banner taken was simâ€" ilar to one carried here, It bore the words:â€""Religion is a Snare and a Racket." Sudbury police felt that such a banner in a religious town like Sudâ€" bury might cause a breach of the peace. Accordingly the parade was stopped and the banner t2zk n away by the police. No charges were laid at the time, but the banner was given to the Crown Attorney who is to study the case and decide as to the procedure to be followed. 4 Rev. Earl 8. Lautenslayer and Rev. J. W. E. Newberry, of Sudbury have started a crusade against what are termed "beer" picnics in th Sudbury area. The firstâ€"named preached a serâ€" mon on the matter last Sunday, charging that the «~Provincial police were not seeing that the/law was enâ€" forced in this particulaf. The minisâ€" ter also attended one picnic on Sunâ€" day and said that they secured pictures of beer being unlcaded at the picnic irom a grocery truck. Securing other information in the matter the minisâ€" ters interviewed the Crown Attorney at Sudbury and then the snapshots taken were submitted to the Attorneyâ€" generals office at Toronto with the reâ€" quest that something be ‘done in the matter, the claim being that the law was persistently being broken and flouted, while the authorities paid no attention.
