were taken underground by the
townspeople last September to
protect them from shellfire and
bombs and from other Germans
who wanted them. There were no

Miss Marion Ady, of the S O C

nas in Art”, displaying beautiful
color prints of the work of the
artists reviewed. From the Gothic
period through the Renaissance
to modern art, the Madonnas
have consistently expressed the
feeling of the times in which
their artists lived. M i s s A d y
pointed out that if it was a time
of spiritual development there
was little of the sensual; or a
time of danger and hardship, the
facial expressions of the subjects
were unhappy. There is a strik­
ing similarity of coloring in the
different artists’ conception of
the Madonnas. Blue has been us­
ed in the robe of the mother by
artists of every nationality and
period so generally as to become
symbolic, with rose, white, and
gold appearing throughout.
While the Madonnas give a his­
tory of painters, expressing more
or less the personal state of the
artist, they usiversally show sin­
cerity and beauty of thought

Faces Grand Jury
For Hotel Thefts
John Little, who gave his ad­
dress as Rogue River, was ar­
rested by Ashland Police, on the
charge of larceny, being accused
of theft of $62 from an Ashland
hotel cash drawer and a ladies
purse containing $45. Taken be­
fore Justice of the Peace Nelle
Burns, he admitted the charges
and waived preliminary hearing
in Justice court. He was admitted
to bail by Justice Burns but be­
ing unable to furnish the bail,
was committed to the county jail
at Medford. He was bound over
to the grand jury for further
hearing.
It was discovered after the
man had been taken to the Med­
ford jail, that during the time he
was in the city jail he had re­
moved two bricks from the win­
dow ledge in the cell and had
hidden them in his cell. The man
was found to have an extensive
criminal record and had served
two terms in the Oregon peni­
tentiary at Salem. Assistant Chief
Williams discovered the bricks,
and it was supposed that the man
had taken them out to use as
weapons to make a break from
his captors should the opportun­
ity arise.
