Two Topekans Are In Minor Accident
Two Topeka women suffered minor injuries yesterday afternoon when their car jumped a curb at 1125 Missouri st. and struck a tree.
Mrs. Nellie Wood, 68, Topeka, was admitted to Lawrence Memorial hospital for treatment of a fractured arm and minor cuts. Mrs. Ruby Farris, 65, driver of the car a 1954 Oldsmobile was not admitted.
Police said Mrs. Farris "thought the car was in reverse" when she started it but that it was in a forward gear. When the car went over the curb she attempted to apply the brakes but hit the accelerator instead. The car jumped the curb and struck a tree approximately 25 feet away, police said. Estimated speed of the car at the time of the impact was 40 miles per hour. Damage to the car was extensive.
Flaxseed of the 1955 crop will be supported at a national average price of $2.04 per bushel, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced.
West Painting Given To Museum of Art
An eighteenth century oil painting entitled "Inspiration of the Prophet Isaiah," is the latest gift to the Museum of Art.
Painted in 1782 by Benjamin West, an American painter who became president of the Royal Academy in London, this picture is a gift of Mr. Howard and Mrs. Rosanna Hurwitz of Lawrence.
the painting, 33½ by 13½ inches in size, was executed as the preliminary draft of the dedication of St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle just outside London. Its subject is derived from the Biblical Book of Isaiah vi: 6.
Edward Maser, museum director, says of the painting: "It is an extremely fine example of painting in monochrome, and thus adds another variety of oil painting to our collection. In the work of Benjamin West, who is one of America's leading early painters, this is particularly important, for it is the earliest extant preparatory study for the chapel series at Windsor."
He said that it is also a significant example of West's invention of a new "baroque" style which was necessitated by the size and subject of this great scheme of decoration.
The picture will be published in the Spring issue of the Museum register, along with a commentary by Professor Helmut von Erffa, of Rutgers University, who is America's leading authority on the work of Benjamin West.
The painting is on display in the main gallery.
