Sheriffs Demand Probe
Of Third Degree Charge
GRAND RAPIDS, Jan. 19-OP)--
The Michigan State Sheriff's asso-
ciation has demanded a complete in-
vestigation of charges that state
troopers mistreated two of the Kal-
eva bank robbers after their arrest
ten days ago.
In their quarterly session here
Sheriff William Bird of White Cloud
reiterate charges that a state trooper
struck Robert Veneman in the face
with a heavy flashlight and that a
second trooper stamped with heavy
shoes on the bare foot of another of
the bandits, who had removed his
shoes to thaw out his frozen toes.
SPARTAN WRESTLER ILL
Gordon Reavely, former football
player and state A.A.U. wrestling
champion, is the latest victim of that
queer malady known as undulant or
malta fever.

By RALPH G. COULTER
Once stately Chinese sat puffing
at their little brass-bowled pipes
over a quaint game of chess or sol-
emnly drank wine from their little
jade cups. Now all of China's an-
cient glory that was has been shat-
tered, and only memories remain.
Cold, deserted, waiting apparently
for their old masters to return, stand
the Chinese furniture collections in
the museum halls. And Americans
come to catch a glimpse of the old
China, seeing its spirit as represent-
ed in the furniture, all but seeing
the men themselves leaning over the
tables there.
The conventional Chinese arrange-
ment was a table between two
matched chairs, all set stiffly against
the wall. But museum cases of lim-
ited size have no sympathy with
things of the past, so the pieces had
to be rearranged and one of the
chairs in each group left out, says
Benjamin March, curator of the
Orient il the Museum of Anthropo-
logy.
Thus the Cantonese pieces, heavy

.

and austere, stand ceyeing their
lighter, simpler-contemporaries from
Peiping at the other end of the case,
while the typical red varnished table
and unpainted stool of the peasant
intervene.
"Hung-mu," a wood extremely
hard and with a deep red grain, was
chosen by the Cantonese. This they
inlaid heavily with shell or pearl and
finished their chairs and tables with
marble seats and tops. On the Can-
ton table stands once more the old
set of red and white ivory chessmen,
remembered by many who saw them
in the old museum, now the Romance
Language Building. They stand on a
board of Chinese plan, with the
"river" in the center that formed an
added problem for Chinese enthu-
siasts.
