Upon completion of this IWe work Shelton intends t ?> devote the rest of Ids days to Informing the world of the true In wardness of totem poles. It is a large undertaking. What Is a totem? Well. It would take a Philadelphia lawyer to figure It out and then he'd have hard work to make the average man understand the true Inwardness of totem bin. totem and totem pole. Totemlsm. the anthropologists siiy. in common to primitive man In many parts of the world, hut is fna' from ?>e: lug universal. It Is found among the American Indians, but there h re tribes which *how no trace of It. The Eskl mo s know nothing of It. CorViln Afri can savages have It. The Australians have It. ? - ? ? ? - ? . :* A totem Is a el ana of* material ob jects whl?h a ravage regards with superstitious respect, believing that there exists between him and e.\eij member of the class an Int'mate and altogether special relation. The con nection between a man and hi* totem Is mutually beneficent ; the totem pio tects the man and ilie man shows hN respect tor the totem )n rurhm* way*. If his totem Is an animal he may show this respect either by refusing to kill and eat It or by making It his favorite diet. Early explorers found th* American Indian communities. Independent of their local distribution into tribes, bands and villages, competed of sev eral distinct clans. Each Ian had Its emblem, consisting of the flgute of some bird, beast or reptile. as for ex ample. the clans of the wolf. deer. Ot tef and hawk. In the language of the Algonquin* these emblems are known ah totems. Members of the same clan were prohibited from Intermarriage; % man could take a w'fe from any elan but his own. To different to [ ?nms at I ached differenj degrees of rank and dignity; those of the hear, tortoise and wolf were among the flrst In honor. Member* of the same clan, though they might dwell far apart and speak different dialects, M-ero yet bound by the closest ties of fraternity. This kind of totem was found In at least three varlf.es: th<* clan totem, common to a whole clan r,nd passing by Inheritance from gen eration to generation; the *ex totem, common either to all the males or to Til the females In a tribe, to the ex Hu>ion In either ease of tl?e other x the Individual totem, belonging to an Individual and not pasting to bis descendants. As to the totem poe. It i* bard to ?av what It Is. There N on.- thin? J however, which It Is not: it is not a ; fetish or an Idol or a ?him: to be wor shiped. The totem pole of one man | may he simply his individual totem. A second totem pole nay also bear the clan totem of the owner. Then n chief or n rich man may have an elaborate ml em pole containing "all hU crests and all the stories conue? ted with them." So that a ve -y large and pre tentious totem pole may be a sort of m tally tree of the o.vner ><r even an autobiography .

WAR AND FUTURE OF ART Fresh Creative Force May Reasonably B* Hoped for, Is Conclusion of Noted Writer. As for the action of the world's great war upon ?the world's great art. It Is a theme too vast for easy handling, writes Agnes Ileppller In Art and Life. New York. It was snhl In t lie spring of 1915 that the Quar.tler Latin had ceased to produce, having nothing which breathless hu manity could pause to look at. Death took Its toll of artists and month after month saw the blighting of hope, as ' men died with their work undone. Mr. Pennell, an acute, but not a san guine observer, says plainly that new Inspiration ? as a result of the conflict ? Is not to be hoped for. Yet if .na tional fervor (was fed by the simplici ties of art, by the cartoon, the verses of the trench, the "half articulate songs" that, set the soldier's blood atingling. It is reasonable to believe that the high tide of human passion will not ebb before Impregnating a lethargic world with fresh creative force. llodiu. brooding over the darkest hour and minimizing no peril or ca lamity, spoke with heroic assurance of the future: "Our young soldiers and our old cathedrals fall that there may flourish again a youth, pure, ardent, healthy, hostile to materialism, keen for spirituality: and that a renewed and sublime art may spring from the soil washed and fertilized by blood."
