"When I grow up I'll do a better set," the young boy said. The father died, but at 23 the son began the task of painting every North American bird, and today, after 40 years devotion to his self-appointed task, he has completed 900 paintings of 1,200 species, reproduced them and published them in a 12-volume set, limited 100 copies.

Father An Autherity Rex Brasher is His father was Philip Brasher, starstom after whom the Brasher warbler was named, and whose collection of stuffed birds was presented to the Brooklyn Museum on his death. Rex Brasher is coming into the city today, for the first time since 1917, from his modest farm and studio in Chickadee Valley, where he has buried himself for years to complete his work Just what he will do when he back into his modest, self- built home, is something of a problem now that his life work is completed. After 40 active years of labor, in its magnitude almost beyond the conception of the average man to whom work is simply a matter of livelihood to be endured, Rex Brasher reported to have said when the last stroke had been made and the brushes laid aside: "The hardest was when I found I was through." Forced To Quit School When his father died, Brasher was a student at St. Francis College. Rex Brasher of Brooklyn Completes 900 Paintings From Life of 1,200 Bird Species in North America-Called Second to Audubon Fifty-three years ago a Brooklyn lad of 10 tramped father, an enthusiastic amateur older man's criticism of the No.

longer prosperous, he was forced to leave school. He studied taxidermy and, while working at Tiffany's as a line engraver, picked up the fundamentals of painting. He has had no academic training. At 23 he settled down seriously to the job of catching (on paper) the country's birds in their native habitat. In 1910, when 41, he bought the farm near Kent.

Previous to that, he had twice burned every drawing because of his dissatisfaction with the results. Accuracy of expression, color, position, surroundings were his aim. So closely did he achieve his ambition that he is regarded as the leading exponent of realism in bird portraiture. He is hailed as the nearest to Audubon, if not his superior. Did Manual Work The early years on the Connecticut farm were lean ones.

He worked at manual labor for support, paintbarns and houses of his neighbors. As his technique improved his reputation increased. He was sought to illustrate magazines. And, while he rarely left the farm to join in the social life of the community, thousands of personsscientists, biologists and others- came to see him. He painted only from real life.

For him, each bird has a distinct personality, like the human. You would not paint portrait of a human being from a stuffed figure, he argues. He will not sell any of his 900 originals singly. It is said that Yale offered him $50,000 for the complete set but that he declined. Photoed the Originals Having completed the stupendous task of 900 them originals, he set to work publishing in book Finding that the colors for which.

he had striven for would be lost in reproduction, he hit upon the plan of photographing the original and then painting the reproduction. From 1928 until this Fall he worked, transferring the exact watercolor tones of his originals to the 90.000 copies necessary for the 100 sets of 12 volumes each. Save for help on the backgrounds he did the work himself. The price for a set is $2,400, and already more than 50 have been subscribed for. MISS E.

Cooked Meals Together Once Continued from Page 1 regular Sunday night supper affairs. It was the servants' night out and the wives were relieved by their husbands of the task of preparing the meal. They met at each other's homes and divided up the work. Strategy Worked Out On one of these occasions Roosevelt decided it was time for Hoover to decide whether he was a Democrat or a Republican. Roosevelt believed Hoover should announce his support of the Democratic party and briefed the case for him.

He predicted, over coffee and cigars, to the man who was to become a Republican President after the 1928 election, that the Republicans would win in a walk in 1920, the approaching contest. He further reasoned that the Republican landslide of 1920 would be followed by a Democratic victory in 1924, and that Hoover should declare his allegiance to the Democrats and go after the Presidential nomination that year. Roosevelt thought he had concommitment was although made. no Several final nights later Mrs. Augustus Gardner, daughter of the late Henry Cabot Lodge, sat beside Roosevelt at dinner.

She Was Right! She confided to him in the strictest secrecy that Hoover would shortly announce himself a Republican. She said he had promised her father he would. Roosevelt laughed and insisted she was in error. She was right. Thereafter they traveled separate roads.

On several occasions Roosevelt and Hoover have met at dinner in Washington, the last being the Governors' conference dinner at the House earlier in the year. But the debt talk will be their first intimate conversation since they talked Presidents. REV. T. B.

The skull stops about 5 percent of all the cosmic rays hitting it, the same as the fabulously valuable sheet of gold, and rays are hitting every minute of day and night. There cause for special pride in the analogy, however, for an equal thickness of lead stops just as many rays. Ivory's stopping powers have not yet been tested by scientists. These facts, the result of an accidental discovery at the University of Chicago, developed as an aftermath of the report to the National Academy of Sciences here by Dr. Arthur H.

Compton about his world-wide survey of cosmic rays. While testing instruments which Byrne Mass to Be Held on Friday Funeral services for William G.

Vischer also a Hahnemann man, had fered several attacks of the infection prior to his death in 1906. Tried New Treatment In the son's first infection, which nearly cost him his life, medical authorities for the first time used mercurochrome for injection into the veins, and Dr.

Vischer responded favorably treatment and eventually recovered."

This happened every time a scientist placed his head directly above a metal box to examine its recording mechanism. Heads were there5 upon percent tested of and rays found from to the cut BoOK. The other rays went straight through the heads, without touching anything.

They' do this equally well with a centimeter of gold or of lead. Those which fail to pass through the human head are stopped by making direct hits on the nuclei of atoms of bone, brain or other substances. The hits smash these living atoms with the most complete kind of wreckage known to science. 8 Die in Unexpected Snow Storm in West Concentrating its attack in the Missouri River Valley area, Winter spread sub-freezing temperature, snow, rain and sleet over most of the nation today.
