For more than four months the Hungarian troops have been fighting in Servla. They had to face there an exasperated enemy and rocky mountains and field fortifications blocking the way of advance.

At last, however, ingenuity has discovered a means of dislodging the ians from their strong positions. Sand- filled beer barrels as rolling trenches and mobile protection against the enemy are the latest surprise of the war. The Japanese in their war against Russia carried with them sandbags which advancing infantrymen pushed before them for protection against the bullets of or machine guns. Thu beer barrel answers this a purpose much better, as it can be rolled forward with comparative ease and convenience. The that is, the Hungarian infantryman, fills the barrel with sand, gravel or broken stones used for road making.

Barrels thus filled are impenetrable to bullets. The men on the firing line crawl ahead and roll the barrels with their heads, once at the position assigned to them, they stand the barrels up and fire from behind or between York Sun. minutes to thaw.

Rogers. the painter was often employed to color the armorial, bearings carved in wood and stone, It was thus that in the colonies to the painter fell the work of emblazoning arms. Soon after the settlement of Boston we find two or three painters In the community. On the succession of Charles It their work in blazoning increased and when Andros became Governor of New England, in lftfW, and established in Roston the English church and its ceremonies, the custom of elaborate funerals made business for the painter boom.

It was In time that there ap- peered In Boston one Thomas Child, a pointer-stainer. He married, in 1883, Katherine Masters, a relative of Giles Masters, an attorney in the following of Andros, and a relative of Randolph. Secretary of the Province, under Andros. Child evidently acquired wealth in his business and in built a house on what is now Hanover st. In the front of this he had placed the arms of the Painters' Company of London, of which he had been a member.

These arms were inserted in the front of a brick building erected on the site in later years, at 153 Hanover st. Lancelot Career. On his death in 1706 these verses were written recalling his work on funeral achievements: Tam Child hud often painted Death, But. never to the Life, before; Doing it now, out of breath; lie paints it oner, and paints no more. widow, however, continued the business, but not always with success, and so took a partner.

She married, in 1708, Lancelot Luke, who was somewhat Of an adventurer, though of a good London family. Lake came to Boston in 1880, at the age of 31, creating quite a fuss on the voyage among the crew and passengers. Posing as a physician, in Boston, his life was eventful and he entered matrimony at the age of threescore, to assist the widow in her business, including heraldic painting. He served hut a few years and left his wife a widow and she again married, In 1716, John Melnzles, a merchant and a Scotchman. Meanwhile the painting business had been assumed by a nephew of Mrs Child-Lake-Meinzes, one Edward Stanbridge.

The nephew died In 1734. Tn the first half of the 18th century there appeared in Boston one Thomas Johnston, a japanner, who hired a small shop of the town near the Town Dock. With the business of painting he also combined the art of engraving copper plates. He is noted for his work in engraving views of Boston and Louts- burg and plates of an heraldic character. At his death, in 1787.

in his inventory, was noted "a hook of valued at 48 shillings. James Turner, a contemporary of his, is also known to have clone heraldic Fei.ys* FUNERAL HATCHMENTS AND HOW THEY SHOULD BE ARRANGED. A blaze of color dotted with fantastic figures of man, beast and flower, in diagonals, stripes and squares, greets the eye on visiting the relics and badges of New England's aristocracy. The exhibit is shown at 9 Ashburton pi, opposite the new City Club It is another phase of the work of the society engaged in the preservation of New antiquities. Furniture, paintings, samplers and other furnishings of the dwellings of the past generations have been shown at the previous exhibits.

The present collection, however, covers a more limited field, as the number of families entitled to display heraldic designs is supposed to be very small in this democratic country, where titles are not the reward of philanthropists and politicians. The walls of the room are well covered, however, and present examples of heraldic decoration covering the last three centuries. The exhibition illustrates as well, the methods of the use of heraldry In these arts, as the manner In which the wealthy of past days procured such ornamentation. It is the common belief that the first settlers of this vicinity' were longhaired, long-faced and dressed In sombre garments without the lace and trimmings of their former neighbors in old England; that they renounced all the practices and social customs of the old country and that rich as well as poor dressed in sober garb and without the trappings of rank and office. Others have the idea that the early settlers in Boston and the Bay Colony were from the sturdy yeomany of England.

This is not true; many were graduates of colleges and descendants of old families. ample is shown In the exhibit in the arms of Harrison Gray, the last proy- ince treasurer under the crown. This has been preserved in the Harrison Gray Otis family and the original colors have mostly disappeared during the past 150 years. The most public use of the family coat of arms was on the coaches of the owner, and a series of finely executed water-color sketches, in the exhibit shows such embellishments. Funeral Spoke on Holy Land.

It is true that the in 1651 ordered that men or women of mean condition should not take upon them the garb of gentlemen by wearing gold or silver lace, or nuuons or points at the knee or walk in great boots. Or the women to wear silk or tiffany hoods or scarves, though allowable to persons of greater estates or more liberal education, yet we cannot but judge it in the people of lower condition.

This law was not to extend to magistrates or public officers, their wives and children, any military man or any other whose education and employment had been above the ordinary degree or estate had been considerable though not As it was with their apparel, other luxuries of wealth and station were enjoyed, and men that had used a signet ring or plate, with an armorial marking, in England continued their use The most common use was in the seal affixed to letters and documents. And these have been preserved mainly In our record files on legal papers. Pieces of plate bearing coats of arms have also been preserved in families. Tombstones are numerous in the burial places of Boston bearing armorial designs. Examples are to be found of the sampler of the last and previous centuries worked with the family arms.

Occasionally a more elaborate piece of work was done in silk embroidery in the shape of a hatchment. Such an ex- I The death of a person was also made the occasion for the display of his ar- I mo rial shield. On the front of his house was placed a Imtchment, technically known aa his funeral achievement. This bore his arms so placed on the shield I as to denote whether he was a bachelor, and, if married, designating the number of wives he had been married to, even to the number of six, if so fortunate. This ornament was of wood, and painted in colors.

Also on the pall of the bier was painted the escutcheon or arms of the deceased. In Europe such armorial matters are regulated officially. In England the Colli ege of Arms has supervision, Tournaments and crusades started the business of armorial bearings, but the last of the ICth century found their use so common that a census was made I of England, to find out who were using them, and by what right of descent. The results were the visitations of the heralds of the 16th and 17th century made in the different counties, On their work and that of their successors the College of Arms basis grants of arms, if possible. If a man desirous of a coat of arms could not present a descent from an arms-bearlng ancestor it was up to the inventive genius of the herald to provide him one, If he had the price.

This rule governed the last century as well as the period of our early emigration. In fact, it probably governed those taking the early visitations, as they wrote mainly from the dictation of one of the family they visited, though they were supposed to verify their work by the contents of the muniment chest, or manor rolls. As our colonists grew wealthy, and especially after the Restoration, in 1961, armorial bearings came to be more freely used In Boston, especially at funerals. Death comes unexpectedly at times, and the College of Arms and its heralds were on the other side of the Atlantic. Months wouid me consumed in a voyage to obtain properly painted coats of arms for funeral occasions.

New England, from the first days, had to fall back an artisan for its heraldic decorations.

Just previous to the Revolution Thomas Crafts flourished, painting, in 1772, the interior of the present Old State House. His wife was Frances, daughter of John and Frances (Pinek- nev) Gore. He was also famous as colonel of Artillery In the Revolution. (In Heart-Shaped Box) Banished as a Loyalist.

Obadiah Gore, carpenter, of Roston, had an only son, John, born in 1718. John Gore was a japanner and painter, and later a merchant. He was a loyalist. was banished in 1778 and went to Halifax. Ho was pardoned in 1787 and returned to Boston, where died in 1796- John had a son Samuel, born in 1755, who was also a painter by trade.

His shop had a sign, the arms, similar to that displayed on Thomas building. Gore was located rwearly opposite the head of Brattle st, in a block of buildings owned by the town standing in what is now Seollay sq. His house was on Green st, on the north side, where Gore Block stands. He served in a company formed in Boston in 1776, and took part in an expedition to Rhode Island the next year. Ills brother Christopher was Governor of Massachusetts.

Samuel Gore had two sons who were painters by trade; in 1806 and 1807 the firm was Samuel Gore Son, the latter being his son Christopher. His other i son. George, a painter and gla- zier on Broad st. Later Christopher was in business alone on Batterymarch st as a sign painter. The American Revolution seems to have killed the demand for coats-of -1 arms in New England; in fact, those previously using them were of that class that remained loyal to the crown.

The return of better times revived the taste for such ornaments, and we find In 1796, residing on Back, now Salem st, one John cole, who advertised himself as an His customers could not always furnish. however, the seal ring or plate with arms engraved thereon, as a copy, and he was forced to invent a suitable blazon, in this he had the. assistance of a large printed folio volume, and If no crest was found, in his authority he did not hesitate to utilize the American flag.

This charge was guinea and he did not hesitate to visit the country, round about Boston, for the farm houses, where ready cash was scant, he did not disdain to take his pay In board. A son, John Jr, assisted and in 1806 advertised In Boston as a minature and portrait painter.

The "work of the Cole family has been preserved, in many New England families, and may be considered interesting relics of a Boston fad or fashion of the decade preceding and following the year 1800. It lias been often claimed that the works of the heraldry painters of Boston, previous to the Revolution, were no more authentic than that of Cole in later years. There is.

no question but that the early work in most cases was based on seals, plate and other data brought from England, Its public use would subject it to the criticism of the townspeople and a coat of arms could be readily granted in England to a wealthy colonist. That the heraldic painter was dependent, as was Cole, on some old heraldic work is true, as evidenced by the material exhibited which had to do with the Gore family in their business. A little over a century ago a young in CHARLES A. President. OFFICERS OF THE HOME ASSOCIATION BANQUET.

E. OSGOOD, Toastmaster. man Isaac Child of Roxbury, worked in a shop on Central st. Beginning in 1810 and during the War of 1812 business was dull and he amused himself by copying an old manuscript in which were painted .100 coats of arms. The dates of their use ran from 1701 to 1724 They are undoubtedly arms that were copied by a painter of that period for funerals and important occasions in Boston.

Over 900 Preserved. Mr copy also contained material copied from the a work, published in 1742, which contained a description of heraldry, and terms used. This was illustrated by some 30 plates of examples finely engraved. As each elate gave 28 coats of arras, which were described in the text, the volume of over 900 examples was of great, assistance to the painter in deciphering seals. As the size of each plate was inches and each coat of arms an Inch square, the fine work done by Mr Child and his quill pen is surprising.

The 100 examples in color have the name of John Gore written on the original copy, which has disappeared. It has therefore been known to antiquarians of the last half century as the Gore Mr Child died, in 1885, at the age of 93. his manuscript copy went to the Mew England Historic Genealogical Society. This material of the Gore family of painters was not however their sole source of On exhibition is another manuscript volume which carries us back to that time when the Heralds made their visitations through the English counties. It contains 4500 coats of arms, done in color, by an English Herald.

It was done betwen 1602 and 1616 and was used by the Gore family in their Heraldic work and by their predecessors. A memorandum in the index shows that in 1817 (on the death of John Gore) the family desired to dispose of the book. John Bumstead, a Boston merchant, had married the daughter of Samuel Gore, the painter. In 1817, in April, Bumstead sailed for England taking the manuscript volume to obtain a bid for it. He returned with It, the highest price offered being 30 pounds.

The family retained it till 1885, when it was sold to Words of wisdom from leading public citizens will be mixed with good food at the annual banquet of the Home Association of MasBachu- setts at the American House.

William Smith was the herald who executed the artistic designs, and the labor of collecting the material for painting the 4500 designs must have eonumed years. Born in th6 of the 16tri century, he had written many genealogical and historical works, when in middle life, in 1597, he was created as one of the heralds was termed. The volume occupied his time from 1602 to 1616. From his possession it passed to his successor in office, John PhiUpot, Rouge Dragon in 1618, who accompanied Boston, where he had been living since 1679. If he possessed this manuscript book of his predecessors in office at that time, he would have welcomed an opportunity to dlsnose of it to Thomas Child, the pamter-stainer, who had recently arrived from London, It was a century later, in 1772, that the manuscript volume came into the Gore family as a reference book of heraldic lore.

A century later it passed from the Gores tp the family of the present owner. It is interesting to note that another of the Crowne family was of note, and, unlike his father, can be found in biographical dictionaries, as a dramatist in England. The elder son of Col William Crowne.
