Remounting of Paintings
in Warner Collection
One Object of Mission
Only Man in America Who
Knows Process Works
in Boston Museum
To secure the remounting of rare
paintings which cannot be (lone sat
sifactorily in this country is one of
the motives of her present trip to
the Orient, said Mrs. Gertrude Bass
"Warner before her departure foun
day, Nov. 8. Mrs. Warner and Mrs.
Lucy Perkins will sail from Van
couver November 12 on the Empress
of Asia for Kobe, Japan.
“I inquired in the different mu
seums of the country and discovered
that there was only one man in the
United States who could do the re
mounting I required,f” Baid Mrs.
Warner. “This man is a Japanese
employed by the Bcston Museum of
Fine Arts. I had seen some of his
work at the Cleveland museum and
it was very fine—and very expen
sive. One hundred dollars was the
charge on mounting each Chinese
picture, and they were quite small.”
Pictures Rare Paintings
The pictures which needed re
, mounting were the rare Chinese
paintings donated to the Murray
Warner collection of Oriental art
by General Norman Muntlic, head
of the police-force guarding the le
gations in Peking. Those pictures
are invaluable and demand tho
greatest care for their preservation,
as they aro very old and fragile.
The paintings wore becoming
quite wrinkled, 5uo> Mrs. Warner
believes, to the moist climate of
Oregon^ to the fermion tation of the
rice . paste with which they wero
glued and to contraction of the silk
brocade upon which thoy were im
properly mounted. If left without
attention this would soon ruin those
examples of Oriental art.
One Mounter round
First various mothods were tried,
then Mrs. Warner began to search
for a competent man who could give
the painting the delicate care they
required. But the only man who
seemed capable was tho Japanese
employed by tho Boston Museum of
Fino Arts. He was hired to do the
work of that museum only, it trail,
spired, and any outside work would
have to bo done in his leisure hours.
Of course, being such an expert
craftsman, he had many orders for
outside work, which ho could finish
but slowly, owing to his lack of
time.
“I finally decided,” sa|d Mrs.
Warner, “that as the museum would
take no responsibility, and, as tho
man might or might not succeed in
doing the work, it would bo best to
take tho pictures back to whore
they came from to have the work
done. ”
General Muntlie Donor
General Muntlie, the donor, will
help Mrs. Warner find someone in
China who is capable of doing the
work well, she believes.
“I am taking them back in an old
wardrobe trunk,” Mrs. Warner con
tinued, “which is of metal, higher
than those used now, and always
entails a heavy excess baggage
charge. But in it tho rolled pic
tures will stand up when packed.”
When the pictures come back,
Mrs. Warner said, they will not bo
in the old trunk. They will ride
safely in tin lined boxes, resplend
ent with new mountings and frames.
These pictures are mounted on silk
brocade in light colors, but when
they are remounted they mil be
framed close like oil paintings. This,
said Mrs. Warner, is the latest and
best method of framing this kind of
picture. It is the way in which it
is done in the Freer Gallery, a part
of the Smithsonian Institution,
which is ttie last word in modern
and scientific museum methods.
“Y” WORKERS TO MEET
Reports from workers on the
United Christian Work drive for
$800 to be raised among the faculty
will be heard at a luncheon which
will be held next Thursday noon at
the “Y” hut. The luncheon was
originally scheduled for Wednesday
noon, but in consideration of the
fact that Armistice Bay fell on that
date it was thought best to make
the change. Members of the faculty
have been canvassing among them
selves since last Wednesday under
the direction of Homer Rainey,
chairman of the campaign, and those
in charge hope to have a final re
port from every man who has been
at work.

INSPECTION SYSTEM
PREVENTS LOSS BY FIRE
In an effort to prevent loss of
house and personal property by fire,
Dean Walker, dean of men, has
made arrangements with the state
fire marshalls for an annual invest
igation of all sorority and fratern
ity houses, and he wishes to ad
vise the houses that this investiga
tion will be made soon.
“I took this action last year,”
stated Dean ’Walker, “because ,'I
found from reports that there had
been at least one house fire every
year for many years with a con
siderable property loss as a result.”
House heads were first appealed
to in support of the fire preven
tion idea, according to Dean Walk
er, and then two state fire mar
shalls were requested . to investi
gate the houses for defective wir
ing, heating appliances, and rub
bish, and to install fire extingu
ishers.
“It w-as found,” Walker report
ed, “that many of the fires were
due to defective wiring that had
been done by amateur electricians.”
He warned students against this
sort of thing.
“I am glad to say,” the Dean re
marked, “that there has not been
a single fire since the inspection
system has been employed.>’
Walker is encouraging the idea
of somo kind of house system in
regard to fires. He suggests that
each house have,certain persons ap
pointed to look after the use of
the fire extinguisher, to the clear
ing of sleeping porches, and to
turning in an alarm in case of fire.
