A painter's outlay on paint and canvas is not a large item in his expenses. A sculptor who pro- poses to exhibit works which have not been previously commissioned may have to spend hundreds of pounds on metal and marble with no assurance that he will recover anything.
Ertos or ErrOSE The Eros statue has been a sub- Ject of bitter controversy for near- ly 30 years.
Gilbert himself called It 8piri- tual Love." Its official title is the "Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain." The family of the man whom t commemorates prefer to regard it as a rebus on his name-a shaft buried in the heart of the public.

OPIUM TRAFFIC IN CHINA
Statement At Genevá

Geneva, Nov, 22. Mr. Victor C. Hoo Chinese Minister to Switzerland. In a statement to the Oplum Com- mittee called attention to the new series of measures recently enforc ed by China to combat the traffic.
The problem in China had become more serious duc, perhaps, to more rigorous enforcements of regulations in the West, he said. Also, events in the Far East were preventing China trom devoting the necessary attention thereto.
The campaign in China, he said, could not be limited to tinilateral action by China, which needed the co-operation of the Powers administering leased ter- ritories and concessions, where. there was a danger of foreign trafficers being punished too lightly.--- Reuter.
