Henry Moore, Henry Buford, Ben
Green and Roy Robertson have been
engaged to act as special waiters for
the Owl Club banquet which is sched
uled soon at Jackson’s cafe. It will
probably be a nifty affair since the
special waiters are to be paid five
beans per and car fare.
Reports come that the liquor deal

new business and give employment to
hundreds of men and women. So it
seems, after all, that the hotel boys
will be the hardest hit.

Orchestra, the first Colored orchestra

date would have to be cancelled be

hour later the manager notified the

ground and listened to the music, but
r .- attempt was made to interfere
with them. -

AFRICAN FEATURES
IN ANCIENT ART
Vanity Fair, for September, pub
lishes a very interesting article upon
“The Cave Paintings of Ajanta," by
Ananda Coomaraswamy, evidently a
Hindu. These paintings have only re
cently been discovered on the walls of
some Buddhist temples and monaster
ies, near the little town and fort of
Ajanta, while lies on the northern
edge of the Ceitral India tableland,
forty miles from the nearest railway.
Several illustrations accompany the
article and the surprising thing about
them is the peculiar blending of the
Asiatic and African features. Science
has long since established the fact
of the presence of the African in Asia,
but heretofore the evidence was con
fined to present peoples and hints in
ancient literatures. Now, however,
the evidence crops out in frescoes ex
ecuted between the Fourth and Sev
enth Centuries of the present era. “The
frescoes,” says the author, “form not
only the most important monument of
ancient painting in Asia, but it is one
of the exceedingly few classic repre
sentations of the work of the artists
of any dark race. A smaller set of
paintings in a similar style is preserv
ed in a rock-pocket at Sigin in Cey
lon."
