306 “You won’t understand, I know, but I’m going to tell you,” she replied, twisting her gloves in her hands. “In the first place, you must know Steven and I used to plan that when we were married we would own a little farm. Just a little summer place, you know. He used to say every man wanted to have a farm. Doctor, when I go up the river road, just past the school house, on the bank, where the road turns into the woods, I see a little farm. The fields are neat and cultivated. The house is painted white with green blinds and the door is open into the hall, as if people lived there. Hollyhocks are growing around the kitchen door. On a table milk-pans are turned up to dry in the sun. There are some dish-towels drying on a line. And at any moment I expect to see Steven come around the corner of the house. I feel he is there, out of my sight. I wait, and listen. He hasn’t come yet, but he will, some day, and when he comes, I shall go with him.”

Her face was luminous with joy. What could I say? What ought I to say?

“Do you think I could see the farm if I were with you?” I asked, speaking slowly.

“I’m afraid you couldn’t,” she replied. “No one knows it is there but Steven and me.”

“Then, my dear Maidie, it exists only in your imagination,” I told her, gently.

She smiled, as one smiles at a child who doubts one’s word, and she went away.

I studied her case carefully. A good psychanalyst might have helped her, but I was not skilfulskillfull [sic] in that method of treatment. I see now that we did wrong in circumventing her. In accordance with my advice her friends attempted to divert her attention from her daily walk. She was taken on automobile excursions; visitors came at that hour of the day; she was invited to go to moving pictures; duties were crowded upon her, in the hope of altering the fixed idea in her mind of Steven’s waiting at the ghost farm. She was very sweet about acceding to the demands and requests, though sometimes she would obstinately refuse to listen to them.

brought hot weather. The extreme heat wore upon our nerves; everybody relaxed. Released from vigilant watchfulness, Maidie left the house, unnoticed.

A terrific thunder storm came up, and Maidie’s mother was beside herself. She had been lying down taking a nap when Maidie slipped away. She telephoned to me when the shower was over, as Maidie was not missed until then.

I got out of my car and started up the river road, a sense of foreboding in the back of my mind. I had not proceeded far when a tire blew out. Impatiently I left the machine and hurried on foot past the weather-beaten old schoolhouse a short distance. Suddenly I stopped in my tracks. The sun had come out, and I saw the ghost farm. It was exactly as Maidie had described it: a stretch of green fields; a small white house with green blinds; hollyhocks growing by the kitchen door; milk-pans glistening in the sun, drying on a table; towels fluttering on a line. I was struck dumb, and stood motionless, hardly able to draw my breath at the strangeness of the scene.

In a few minutes the vision, or mirage, vanished. Then I perceived a tall oak tree split in half by a bolt of lightning. At the foot of the tree lay Maidie, on the wet ground, a smile of rapture on her upturned face.

I knelt beside her and examined heart and pulse. Nothing could be done, her spirit had left its earthly body. She had gone to be with Steven.

 have established their dominion, as if for ever! As to the wealth of the hills, it has slid down into the ravines:—wintry torrents, heavy with a booty wasted, have raged through the wadys, and have left despair to the starving few that wander upon the surface.

But now this Palestine—which five English counties, Northumberland, Durham, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Lincolnshire, would more than cover—brings within its narrow limits more varieties of surface, and of aspect, and of temperature, and of produce, than elsewhere may be found in countries that have ten times its area. Palestine, in the age of its wealth, was a samplar of the world:—it was a museum country—many lands in one: the tread of the camel, in two or three hours, may now give the traveller a recollection of his own—come whence he may, from any country between the torrid zone and our northern latitudes. Not in England, not in Switzerland, nor in Greece—in no country known to us—may there be looked at, and experienced, so much of difference in all those external things of nature which affect the bodily sensations—the conditions of life, and in what quickens the imagination;—and all upon an area the whole of which may be seen from three of its elevations, or from four. Thus it was, therefore, that the Hebrew Poet found, always near at hand, those materials of his art which the poets of other lands had to seek for in distant travel. Imagery, gay or grave, was around him

 everywhere; and these materials included contrasts the most extreme: then these diversities of scenery, so near at hand, must have made the deeper impression upon minds sensible of such impressions, inasmuch as this same land was bordered on every side by mountain ranges, or by the boundless table-land desert, eastward and southward; and by the Great Sea in front. Palestine was as a picture of many and bright colours, set in a broad and dull frame.

In other lands, as in a few spots in England and at rare moments—in Greece, and its islands, often—in Italy, at a few points, and in many of the Paradisaical islets of the Eastern Ocean, and of the Pacific, there may be seen that which the eye rests upon with so much pleasure in a sultry summer's day—the deep blue or purple of the sleeping ocean, serving to give brighter splendour to a foreground of luxurious foliage, and of gay flowers. Trees, shrubs, festooning climbers—garden, and wild flowers, then most recommend themselves to the painter's eye when the background is of that deep colour—the like to which there is nothing on earth—the purple of a profound sea, shone upon by a fervent sun, under a cloudless sky. But then in none of those countries or islands do splendid landscapes of this order present themselves in contrast with stony deserts, dismal as the land of death! But in Palestine—such as it was of old—the soft graces of a rural scene—the vine-covered slopes—the plains, brilliant with flowers, the wooded glens and knolls

 —sparkling with springs, and where the warbling of birds invites men to tranquil enjoyment—in Palestine there is, or there was, ever at hand those material symbols of unearthly good which should serve to remind man of his destination to a world better and brighter than this.

From the lofty battlements of most of the walled towns the ancient inhabitant of Palestine looked westward upon what was to him an untraversed world of waters: the "Great Sea" was to him the image of the infinite. He believed, or he might believe, that the waves which fell in endless murmurs upon those shores, had come on—there to end a course which had begun—between the two firmaments—where the sun sinks nightly to his rest. From the opposite turrets of the same fenced city he watched for the morning, and thence beheld the celestial bridegroom coming forth from his chambers anew—rejoicing as a strong man to run a race! To those who now, for an hour, will forget our modern astronomy, the Syrian sun-rising well answers to the imaginative rendering of it by the Poet:—the sun, as it flares up from behind the mountain-wall of Edom, seems well to bear out whatever may be conceived of it, as to its daily course through the heavens.

Again, the ranges of Lebanon might be called a sample of the aspects of an Alpine region—a specimen of sublimities, elsewhere found far apart. The loftier summits—the crown of Jebel-es-Sheikh—is

522 from the towns for service, and if a '' enlisted and was discovered he was sent back. The fixity of the grades of society naturally intensified the need to employ barbarian forces.

But here our survey, which strictly deals with the cities as affected by historic movements, must find its conclusion. Enough has been said to show that the very life-blood of ancient civilisation was in the cities, and that the civilisation itself was bound to die when this life blood was drained away. In this tragedy of ruin it is difficult to assign any great rôle to human will. No movement in history wears more the appearance of a destiny, sweeping along in an ever growing flood, imperious and irresistible.

18 however, Captain Boyer, with customary sagacity and foresight, had traded all the sealskins for the ivory tusks collected by Chief Oo-gloo as admission fees to the ball game. The officers from the cutter went all through our little ship; then they apologized for having detained us. Our captain accepted this apology with grave and quiet dignity.

A month later we safely entered Frisco Bay. Before leaving the ship, Captain Boyer called me into his cabin for a little refreshment. “Moggs,” he said genially as we clinked glasses, “we’ve had a successful voyage; we both brought back good ‘ivory.’ I am well satisfied, as I know you are, too. There is just one thing that I can’t quite understand, and which I have thought over no little”

“What is that, cap’n?” I broke in.

“That little incident of the burning snow!” he replied gravely.

“Simple enough—when you understand,” I replied. “You see, Oscar is a firm believer in preparedness. He didn’t know just what sort of a mix we might be in before that game ended, so he came prepared for any eventuality. Now, that snow—before he touched a match to it—was plenteously sprinkled with camphor pellets! If you have any doubts about snow burning under such conditions, just try it some time. I can honestly say that it was the quick wit and ingenuity of our surgeon which saved the day for us and brought the triumph of defeat to Pitcher Bearson”

“To Oscar, the surgeon!” broke in the captain, raising his glass, “and his torch of burning snow!”

H, Lilith, let us twine these flowers
 * Around the day’s sweet sanctity

While Love strings all the shining hours
 * Upon the flesh’s rosary

For things turn back that now are ours
 * Into a growing yesterday.

Come, let us speak of lovely things
 * Close to our hearts while yet we may,

For Night shall wrap her star-strewn wings
 * About us when we go our way

All songs turn back that Love now sings
 * Into a growing yesterday.

A time comes when the heart is fed
 * Upon the things we build to-day

And things unfinished and unsaid
 * Shall rise to scorn, and well they may

Then Love shall stand among the dead
 * Who haunt the growing yesterday.

 Mr. Huss has said some terrible things, things that must surely never be said at Woldingstanton

"Think of what such teaching as this may mean among young and susceptible boys! Think of such stuff in the school pulpit! Chary as I am of all wrangling, and I would not set myself up for a moment to wrangle against Mr. Huss, yet I feel that this cavilling against God's universe, this multitude of evil words, must be answered. It is imperative to answer it, plainly and sternly. It is our duty to God, who has made us what we are

"Mr. Huss, in your present diseased state you seem incapable of realising the enormous egotism of all this depreciation of God's marvels. But indeed you have suffered from that sort of incapacity always. It is no new thing. Have I not chafed under your arrogant assurance for twelve long years? Your right, now as ever, is the only right; your doctrine alone is pure. Would that God could speak and open his lips against you! How his voice would shatter you and us and everything about us! How you would shrivel amidst your blasphemies!

"Excuse me, gentlemen, if I am too forcible," said Mr. Farr, moistening his white lips, but Mr. Dad nodded fierce approval.

Thus encouraged, Mr. Farr proceeded. "When first I came into this room, Mr. Huss, I was full of pity for your affliction—I think we all were—we were pitiful; but now it is clear to me that God exacts from you less than your iniquity deserves. Surely the supreme sin is pride. You criticise and belittle God's universe, but what sort of a universe

 benefits; (4) the tax treatment of the hired party; and (5) whether the hiring party has the right to assign additional projects to the hired party. Aymes, 980 F.2d at 861. Accord, e.g., Langman Fabrics, 160 F.3d at 111; Carter, 71 F.3d at 86; cf. Graham, 144 F.3d at 235 (“[w]e give greater weight to certain of the Reid factors”). The Aymes court indicated that these five factors should be given more weight “because they will usually be highly probative of the true nature of the employment relationship.” 980 F.2d at 861.

A. The Hiring Party’s Right to Control the Manner and Means of Creation

The first factor identified by the Reid Court—a general right of control—can be indicative of both a work-for-hire employee and an independent contractor. See, e.g., Patry 1998 Supp. at 59. Thus, in order to determine whether the hired party is an employee rather than an independent contractor, there must be evidence that the hiring party actually contributed to the aesthetic choices.

Defendants do not claim that they instructed plaintiff to use any particular camera, film or equipment. Munn only reviewed Polaroid photographs of the works in progress to ensure plaintiff was achieving the ultimate result that Munn desired. (See Munn Reply. Aff. ¶12.) Munn’s passive review is a far cry from the assertions in Langman Fabrics that the hiring party literally stood over the hired party giving her instructions in “laborious detail” concerning exactly how to create the work. Langnam Fabrics, 160 F.3d at 111–112. Indeed, it is uncontradicted that Munn remained closeted in his office throughout the shoot. (Lindner Aff. ¶13.) As in Graham, Munn’s involvement in the creation of the photographs “was minimal and … his instructions … were very general.” Graham, 144 F.3d at 235; accord Marco v. Accent Publ’g Co., 969 F.2d 1547, 1551–52 (3d Cir.1992) (photographer is not work-for-hire employee where hiring party “controlled only the subject matter and composition of the images” but not “most aspects of the work, including the choice of light sources, filters, lenses, camera, film, perspective, aperture setting, shutter speed, and processing techniques).

B. The Skill Required

Lindner had twenty-five years experience as a professional photographer when defendants hired him and defendants “do not question [plaintiff’s] application of technical skill, which was the reason he was hired.” (Defs.’ Br. at 3; Munn Reply Aff. ¶8.) The record is bereft of any evidence that defendants possessed any technical photographic skills. See Marco, 969 F.2d at 1551 (noting that defendant although himself an art director had hired a professional photographer because the photographer is “the person who makes the shot work,” and describing the photographer as “certainly skilled in the sense that Reid, the sculptor in the Reid case, was skilled”); cf. Morita v. Omni Publications, Int’l, Ltd., 741 F.Supp. 1107 (S.D.N.Y.1990) (photographer is not merely a “mechanical” extension of hiring party).

C. The Provision of Employee Benefits

There is no claim in this case that defendants provided plaintiff with any employment benefits. Cf. Carter, 71 F.3d at 86 (artists given paid vacations and other benefits stich as unemployment, life, health, and liability insurance, as well as worker’s compensation).

D. The Tax Treatment of the Hired Party

Defendants do not claim that they withheld any taxes or made any tax payments on behalf of plaintiff. Cf. Carter, 71 F.3d at 86 (artists had income and social security taxes deducted from their weekly salary).

 As the Chief of the Radiological Safety Section and his staff continued work on the radsafe plan, they realized that a much larger group of monitors and other experts would be required than would be available from the Manhattan Engineer District. To fill this gap, the section chief called on a number of scientists who had already returned to civilian life from wartime service with the government. Few were eager for another extended period of government service, and they and the universities or laboratories employing them demanded, and received, promises of strict limits on the duration of their CROSSROADS service. Apparently, all were to be back in the United States by late August or early September (Reference C.9.206, p. VII-(C)-4).

On 23 March 1946, efforts to staff the Radiological Safety Section were dealt a major setback when the President announced that the first test was to be postponed from 15 May to 1 July (Reference B.12.1, p. 1), with the result that the second test also was delayed. This change raised the prospect that personnel from colleges and universities would not be back on campus for the start of the fall semester. The Chief of the Radiological Safety Section struggled to hold his civilian recruits, but many resigned and he was forced to search for replacements. He asked for more military officers and was supplied with 55 from the Navy and 15 from the Army, almost all of whom were reservists. He also was able to obtain some additional civilians (Reference C.9.206, p. VII-(C)-5; Reference B.0.5).

Bikini Activities

Most of the Radiological Safety Section reached Bikini on 12 June aboard Haven (Reference A.2, p. 11). Some personnel, however, did not arrive until after the ABLE shot or the BAKER rehearsal, and some civilians left Bikini before the BAKER detonation. The Radiological Safety Section was able to muster over 300 personnel for ABLE. Over 225 monitors were available for each of the two shots, but they were stretched thin. During ABLE there were more monitors than during BAKER (Reference A.1, p. 31; Reference C.9.206, p. VII-(C)-5).

Training of Radiological Safety Section personnel had three phases. First, intensive training for the original group of military and public health personnel at Oak Ridge and other locations beginning in mid-January; second, training of the entire section aboard Haven on the way to Bikini; and, third, additional training for the section and for later arrivals once at Bikini.

One of the monitors, a medical doctor drafted into the Army late in the war and assigned to CROSSROADS, characterized the group aboard Haven as follows (Reference A.2, p. 5):

 * Most are older men, some are well-known scientists. Some have worked with radiation in the Manhattan District, but the majority come with little more than a scientific background. Test ABLE is only one month away. Since this group is to have the responsibility for protecting task force personnel from the invisible dangers of radioactivity, the problem of briefing them on the fundamentals and the practical aspects of radiation is acute.

Training for the entire section began aboard Haven on 31 May as the ship steamed for Bikini. It consisted of lectures and work with radiation detection

 E. The Hiring Party’s Right to Assign Additional Projects to the Hired Party

There is no claim in this case that the defendants had the right to assign, or in fact assigned additional projects to plaintiff after all the mirrors were photographed. Cf. Carter, 71 F.3d at 86 (hiring party had and exercised the right to assign artists to other projects without further compensation).

F. The Other Eight Reid Factors

Although the Aymes court did not require that every work-for-hire factor be analyzed, that holding should not be construed as precluding district courts from continuing the inquiry under the remaining eight Reid factors. Similarly, it need not necessarily follow that the five factors identified in Aymes will invariably be the most significant. Indeed, some of the other eight Reid factors are helpful in analyzing this case.

The source of the instrumentalities and tools factor is significant because the choice of equipment played a vital role that affected the aesthetic appearance of the photographs. (See Lindner Aff. ¶17.) The duration of the relationship between the parties also informs the analysis. In contrast to a typical employee, plaintiff was hired by defendants for the specific photo shoot in question. Defendants did not exercise any control over when and how long plaintiff would work. So too, defendants neither hired nor paid any of Lindner’s assistants. It is noteworthy that defendants are in the business of creating and selling frames, while plaintiff’s sole business is creating photographic works. Defendants have never suggested that they regularly photographed their own catalogues.

G. Work-For-Hire Conclusions

In sum, the Reid factors weigh heavily in plaintiff’s favor. Defendants’ argument that plaintiff was a work-for-hire employee because “SHL Imaging was given explicit instructions and worked under the supervision of the defendants, at their premises, photographing their property [and] … paid SHL Imaging’s expenses” is unavailing. (Defs.’ Br. at 17.) Resolving all ambiguities and drawing all permissible factual inferences in favor of defendants, it is clear that defendants’ instructions were so general as to fall within the realm of unprotectible ideas. Thus, they cannot substantiate a work-for-hire authorship defense. If inevitable, routine participation sufficed to transform the hiring party into a work-for-hire author, Reid would-be eviscerated and the law would retrogress to the “actual supervision and control” rule established in Aldon Accessories, Ltd. v. Spiegel, Inc., 738 F.2d 548 (2d Cir.1984).

VI. Joint Authorship

Defendants also move for summary judgment on the grounds that the photographs are joint works. Since one joint author may not sue another joint author for copyright infringement, if the works are joint works, plaintiff’s infringement claim must fail. See, e.g., Weissmann v. Freeman, 868 F.2d 1313, 1318 (2d Cir.1989) (“[A]n action for infringement between joint owners will not lie because an individual cannot infringe his own copyright. The only duty joint owners have with respect to their joint work is to account for profits from its use.”). Like work-for-hire, joint authorship is an affirmative defense. Plaintiff’s certificate of registration indicating SHL is the author is prima facie evidence of sole authorship. See 17 U.S.C. § 410(c)(1978). Defendants bear the burden of overcoming this statutory presumption. See, e.g., Langman Fabrics, 160 F.3d at 111.

HE present volume is the outcome of a course of lectures on the Municipalities of the Roman Empire, originally delivered in the University of London, as part of a scheme for the "higher learning" of students. The lectures, with some changes, were given afterward to American audiences, first as "Lowell Lectures" in Boston, then in the Columbia University, New York. My purpose is to provide students with a survey of the Roman Empire, regarded in one of its most important aspects, that of a vast federation of commonwealths, retaining many characteristics of the old so-called "city-state." This feature of the Graeco-Roman world, though it attracts an increasing amount of attention from the expert scholar, comes but little within the ken of the ordinary student of antiquity. He usually thinks of the component portions of the Roman empire as large sections which he conceives as provinces of nationalities. This impression is naturally conveyed by histories of the empire, both ancient and modern, in which the municipality hardly appears as what it really was, an institution fundamental and vital to the structure of the whole political organisation. It has been my endeavour to bring to light the historical significance of the great movement of civilisation whereby for loose rural and tribal unions, whose bond was mainly religious, was substituted a civic system, in which the walled city administered a territory, sometimes of large

Page:SHL Imaging v. Artisan House.pdf/15

 The starting point for any claim of joint authorship is the definition of “joint work” in the copyright statute. See, e.g., Childress v. Taylor, 945 F.2d 500, 505 (2d Cir.1991). 17 U.S.C. § 101 states: “A ‘joint work’ is a work prepared by two or more authors with the intention that their contributions be merged into inseparable or interdependent parts of a unitary whole.” The leading case construing this definition is Childress v. Taylor, 945 F.2d 500 (2d Cir.1991). In Childress, defendant asserted joint authorship of a play, despite the fact that she had not contributed copyrightable expression. The defendant claimed that one could be a joint author in the absence of such a contribution so long as the work as a whole was original. The Second Circuit rejected that argument and held that joint authors must contribute expression. See Childress, 945 F.2d at 507. The Childress court required that all joint authors contribute expression to “prevent some spurious claims by those who might otherwise try to share the fruits of the efforts of a sole author of a work….” 945 F.2d at 507.

Defendants assert that they are joint authors by reason of their creation of the frames. Their argument continues that the framed mirrors “constitute … ‘inseparable or interdependent parts …’ of the photographs.” (Defs.’ Br. at 15.) However, the copyrighted works at issue are the photographs, not the frames. If defendants’ theory were credited, then any photograph of any copyrighted sculptural work would automatically be a joint work between the photographer and the sculptor. Such a result would be plainly absurd.

In their supplemental submissions, defendants assert that their selection of the frames and their “right to control” the photographs after they were developed creates an issue of fact about the parties’ intent to be joint authors. (Defs.’ Supp. Br. at 8). It is no surprise that defendants selected the frames to be photographed since that is why they hired SHL in the first place. Mere selection of the subject matter to be photographed does not create joint authorship. Similarly, ownership of the physical embodiment of a work does not bear on ownership of the intellectual property in that work. The Copyright Act differentiates between ownership of the physical embodiment of a work and ownership of the intellectual property in a work: "Ownership of a copyright, or of any of the exclusive rights under a copyright, is distinct from ownership of any material object in which the work is embodied. Transfer of ownership of any material object does not of itself convey any rights in the copyrighted work embodied in the object…."

17 U.S.C. § 202.

To be a “joint work” under the Copyright Act, the authors must have “the intention that their contributions be merged.” 17 U.S.C. § 101 (1978). The requisite intent is “especially important in circumstances, [such as this case], where one person … is undisputably the dominant author of the work and the only issue is whether that person is the sole author or she and another … are joint authors.” Childress, 945 F.2d at 508; see also

  v. Larson, 147 F.3d 195, 201–02 (2d Cir.1998).

The relevant inquiry in determining the parties’ intent to be joint authors is whether they “entertain[ed] in their minds the concept of joint authorship, whether or not they understood precisely the legal consequences of their relationship.” Childress, 945 F.2d at 508. Although “joint authorship does not require an understanding by the co-authors of the legal consequences of their relationship, … some distinguishing characteristic of the relationship must be understood for it to be the subject of their intent.” Childress, 945 F.2d at 508. In Childress, the Second Circuit observed that where there is no contractual agreement concerning authorship, it is useful to look for an understanding about authorship credit. See 945 F.2d at 508; see also Thomson, 147 F.3d at 202–204 (discussing contributor’s decision-making authority over what changes are made in the work and whether parties believed they could enter into agreements with “outsiders” concerning use of the work).

Here, defendants have not offered any evidence that they intended to share credit for the photographs. Indeed, they possess none of the indicia of copyright ownership such as registering the photographs at the time they were created, or affixing a copyright notice on the work.

Accordingly, defendants are not joint authors.

VII. Transfer of Rights

Finally, defendants assert that Lindner agreed that Artisan would have the right to use the photographs without limitation. Defendants bear the burden of proving the existence of a license covering the activity in question. See, e.g., Graham, 144 F.3d at 236 (citing Bourne v. Walt Disney Co., 68 F.3d 621, 631 (2d Cir.1995)).

The Copyright Act prescribes a comprehensive scheme for the licensing of copyrighted works. See, e.g., 17 U.S.C. §§ 101, 201(d), 204, 205 (defining “copyright owner” and “transfer of copyright ownership”). There are three possible types of licenses: (1) written; (2) oral; (3) implied. See Patry at 390. A written license may be either exclusive or non-exclusive. An oral license and an implied license can only be non-exclusive. See 17 U.S.C. § 204(a) (“A transfer of copyright ownership, otherwise than by operation of law, is not valid unless an instrument of conveyance … is in writing and signed by the owner of the rights conveyed.”).

A. Express License

Defendants assert that the “intrinsic evidence before the Court on the terms and scope of the parties[’] license is contradictory” and therefore summary judgment should be denied. (Defs.’ Supp. Br. at 4.) Defendants observe that the initial estimate Lindner provided to Munn simply provides prices for “3 days,” “film & processing” and “no seam paper.” (Munn Aff. ¶6 & Ex. B.) Thus, they maintain it does not limit the use of the photographs. A subsequent estimate limited the use of the prints to “(C-Prints) for retail point of purchase.” (Defs.’ Supp. Br. Appendix 3.) The final invoice, which was initialed by Munn, states: “Usage: For C-Prints to be used by sales people.” (Lindner Aff. Ex. 1.) Therefore, defendants contend that the parties’ license is unclear.

Defendants’ argument is without merit. Irrespective of any ambiguity in the estimate or invoices, those documents do not purport to transfer ownership or non-exclusive use of the copyrights in the photographs. None of them even allude to the transfer of exclusive or non-exclusive copyrights. Rather, they simply memorialize the parties’ bargain with respect to the transfer of the physical prints and the

 price for plaintiff’s services. The documents therefore fail to comply with the § 204(a) requirements.

B. Implied License

Alternatively, defendants argue that they had an implied license to use the photographs in a catalogue. (Defs.’ Br. at 8: Defs’Defs.’ [sic] Reply Br. at 14–15; Defs’Defs.’ [sic] Supp. Br. at 4.) However, given the extensive reproduction of the photographs in various media, the implied license would have to be broader than limited use in a catalogue.

Recently, the Second Circuit cautioned that implied licenses will be found, “only in ‘narrow’ circumstances where one party ‘created a work at the [other’s] request and handed it over, intending that [the other] copy and distribute it.’ ” Smith-Kline Beecham Consumer Healthcare, L.P. v. Watson Pharms., Inc., 211 F.3d 21, 25 (2d Cir.2000). An implied license can only exist where an author creates a copyrighted work with knowledge and intent that the work would be used by another for a specific purpose. Thus, in Effects Assocs., Inc. v. Cohen, 908 F.2d 555, 558 (9th Cir.1990), the copyright owner created special effects for a horror movie. Following a monetary disagreement and distribution of the movie, the copyright owner sued for infringement. Relying on the parties’ course of dealing and the copyright owner’s registration which stated that the special effects footage was to be used in the movie, the Ninth Circuit found an implied license. Thus, defendants had the right to use the special effects in the matter intended by plaintiff, i.e., in the movie. See 908 F.2d at 559 & n. 6.

Courts have also found implied licenses where jingles or songs were created for use by a specific radio station or a sports team and were used in exactly the manner intended by the copyright owner over a lengthy period. In those cases, the passage of time afforded the copyright owner ample opportunity to terminate the implied license. See Korman v. HBC Florida, 182 F.3d 1291, 1293 (11th Cir.1999); Jacob Maxwell, Inc. v. Veeck, 110 F.3d 749, 761–762 (11th Cir.1997).

However, no court has found an implied license where the nature of the use is contested. The absence of an implied license to reproduce the photographs for catalogues and computer generated images does not render the C-prints useless; they are useful as sales tools without implying a license.

Further, there is no evidence of a meeting of the minds between plaintiff and defendants. Defendants do not maintain that Lindner created the C-Prints with the intention that defendants use them in any manner they wished. Nor do defendants suggest that plaintiff knew or intended that the prints be scanned in a computer or used for “magazine comps.” Rather, defendants merely allege that Lindner suspected defendants might use the photographs for a catalogue. (See Ferron Dep. at 55–56.) This is not sufficient evidence to establish an implied license. As Judge Sweet observed, “an implied license to use a copyrighted work ‘cannot arise out of the unilateral expectations of one party.’ There must be objective conduct that would permit a reasonable person to conclude that ‘an agreement had been reached.’ ” Design Options, Inc. v. BellePointe, Inc., 940 F.Supp. 86, 92 (S.D.N.Y.1996) (quoting Allen-Myland v. International Bus. Mach. Corp., 746 F.Supp. 520, 549 (E.D.Pa.1990)). See also ''N.A.D.A. Servs. Corp. v. Business Data of Virginia, Inc.'', 651 F.Supp. 44, 49 (E.D.Va.1986) (“The creation of an implied license, as in the creation of any implied contract, requires a meeting of the minds”). Here, the record shows only that plaintiff created the photographs, sold them to defendants

 for a price, and never conveyed any rights to reproduce the photographs directly or by implication. Accordingly, a license will not be implied. See, e.g., Design Options, 940 F.Supp. at 92 (no implied license where plaintiff sold sweater to defendant for resale and there was no evidence that there was anything more to the transaction than the purchase of goods for an agreed-upon price).

In summary, the undisputed evidence shows that the photographs are entitled to copyright protection; that plaintiff is the sole owner of the copyrights in these photographs; and defendants copied the photographs verbatim without the authority of the copyright owner. Accordingly, defendants are liable for infringing plaintiff’s copyrights.

Defendants’ motion for summary judgment is denied in its entirety. Partial summary judgment is hereby granted to plaintiff on the issue of copyright liability. A pretrial conference will be held on October 18, 2000 at 5:00 p.m.

SO ORDERED.

 instruments. The 12-day curriculum is shown in Table 3. On the seventh day, personnel were divided into groups by job: destroyer monitors, aircraft monitors, PGM monitors, etc. They were issued instruments, and radium sources in lead "pigs" (containers) were used to give the men experience calibrating and reading their instruments under a semblance of field conditions (Reference A.2, p. 7; Reference C.9.206, pp. VII-(C)-6 and VII-(C)-7).

Haven arrived at Bikini on 12 June, and a task-force-wide rehearsal, called Queen Day, was held on 14 June. Two problems for the radsafe section became immediately apparent. First, because of a shortage of electronics technicians, radios on Mount McKinley used by the Radiological Safety Control Unit could not be kept operating adequately under the heavy load put on them. Second, the 24 landing craft assigned to the Radiological Safety Section were in very poor repair and their radios were even worse. Only six of the twenty-four landing craft could participate in this first exercise, and four of them broke down without 3 hours. Neither Mount McKinley's radios nor the landing craft were fully ready for the ABLE rehearsal. Their first completely satisfactory performance was on ABLE day (Reference C.9.206, p. VII-(C)-8).

Task force personnel had various means of learning about the upcoming operation and the safety procedures and the problems that might be encountered. Ships' newspapers and Plans of the Day carried many articles on CROSSROADS. The Operation Plan was available on each ship and formed the basis for indoctrination of the ship's force about what to expect and what safety precautions were to be taken. A bulletin addressed to the officers and men of USS Wharton (AP-7) and signed by the Director of Ship Materials (DSM) gave a description of the projected detonation and the arrangement of the target fleet. The bulletin also included the statement that from time to time members of the staff would give lectures on various aspects of the bomb tests that would be of general interest (Reference B.0.14). This bulletin probably was typical of the briefing materials used throughout the task force. In addition, there was a full-scale rehearsal stressing safety before each test. Most of the scientific personnel collecting data on phenomenology and blast effects were probably fairly well-versed in radiation safety from their service with the Manhattan Engineer District. Units designated to enter possibly radioactive areas received briefings from members of the radsafe staff, usually the unit's assigned monitor, on radsafe procedures needed for their particular assignment (for example, see Reference B.0.1, p. F-XII-3). The radsafe monitors were responsible for the safety of personnel reboarding target ships. Task force personnel received general indoctrination on radiation safety and nuclear effects.

Continuing Need for Radiobiological Safety Personnel

Even after ABLE and BAKER had been detonated and the first phase of CROSSROADS drew to a close, the need for radsafe monitors and other radsafe personnel continued. The contaminated target and support ships presented a relatively long-term problem, and CHARLIE, the third test in the CROSSROADS Series, was still planned. Moreover, the series' first phase had brought home to the military leadership the need for a substantial military radsafe organization.

August saw the beginnings of activity designed to begin meeting these long-term needs. On 5 August, CJTF 1 asked the Navy Bureau of Ships for 100 naval

 little lower than the level of perpetual snow: in truth, Hermon, in most years, retains throughout the summer its almond-blossom splendour;—and as to the lower ranges, they overhang slopes, and glades, and ravines, and narrow plains, that are unrivalled on earth for wild luxuriant beauty. In ancient times these rich valleys were mantled with cedar forests; and the cedar, in its perfection, is as the lion among the beasts, and as the eagle among the birds. This majestic tree, compared with any others of its class, has more of altitude and of volume than any of them: it has more of umbrageous amplitude, and especially it has that tranquil aspect of venerable continuance through centuries which so greatly recommends natural objects to the speculative and meditative tastes. The cedar of Lebanon, graceful and serviceable while it lives, has the merit of preparing in its solids, a perfume which commends it, when dead, to the noblest uses:—this wood invites the workman's tool for every ingenious device; and its odoriferous substance is such as to make it grateful alike in palaces and in temples.

It is only in these last times—at the end of thirty centuries—that a river, which has no fellow on earth—which has poured its waters down to their rest near at hand to the civilized world, and has been crossed at many points—it is only now that it has come to be understood; and the mystery of its seventy miles of course opened up. Why it was not understood long ago is itself a mystery. The

subject which I have to introduce is, to state it briefly, that of the city as the chief, or it would be nearer the truth to say, the sole ultimate constituent element in the structure of the ancient Roman empire. There would be little exaggeration in asserting that the town stands to that empire in a relation like that of the cell to the tissues in a living body. We are familiar with the fact that the vast organisation to which we give the name of the Roman empire had for its source a petty town which, in dim prehistoric time, arose on a few isolated hills of the Campagna, close to the yellow Tiber's stream. In the whole of history there has been no development so stupendous, so majestic, or so orderly, as that by which this little civic community was enabled not merely to bring within the circle of its power all the centres of ancient civilisation, from Babylon to Carthage, from Memphis to Marseille, but also to lure from barbarism many peoples on whom hardly a breath of culture either from Hellas or from the Orient had ever breathed. Scholars by profession know well, but students less advanced often fail to realise, that through this marvellous evolution there runs a continuous thread of history which is rather municipal than imperial. Until we catch the clue and follow it through the ages of Rome's rise and fall, there is much in Roman history which will be misconceived, and we shall fail to envisage clearly the policy by which the supremacy of Rome was won, the manner in which it was used when R.

 valley of Nemea; he also killed the Crab now in Cancer, and the hundred-headed Hydra whose constellation is seen in the south from March to June. Some writers see in Sagitta, the Arrow; Aquila and Cygnus, the Birds; Draco, the Dragon and other constellations, memorials of the adventures of Hercules.

This huge giant gave promise of a career while very young. When no more than eight months old, two monstrous snakes appeared and pushed their hissing heads between the bars of his cradle. Springing to his feet, he seized the reptiles by their necks, strangled them and threw them dead at the feet of his terror-stricken parents.

When Hercules grew to manhood his cousin, who ruled the Perseidæ, commanded him to perform ten difficult tasks, which were later increased to twelve. Hercules was at first unwilling to obey but the oracle at Delphi informed him that he would become an immortal hero if he performed the tasks, and afterwards be given a just reward. For a while Hercules was so despondent that he eventually became mad, but finally throwing off his depression, he accomplished all he set out to do with such cleverness and foresight and with exhibitions of such amazing strength, that not only did the gods carry him up to Mount Olympus after his death but gave him as a wife the lovely cupbearer, Hebe. His gigantic figure is now among the stars and many of the creatures in his adventures have been placed far above the earth in honored positions in the heavens. Let us now go back for a moment and review some of these awe-inspiring accomplishments of Hercules.

The lion and the hydra have already been mentioned. The

 watersnake was particularly difficult to kill for it possessed the distressing faculty of being able to immediately grow two living heads in the place of each one destroyed, thus increasing not only the snake but the number of poisonous fangs. This seemingly insurmountable difficulty was finally overcome when Hercules thought of searing each stump with a hot iron as soon as it was severed, thus killing the root from which the head was born. As seen on his constellation in the sky, this watersnake is more conspicuous for length than for his number of heads, for his faint starry outline covers one-fourth of the southern heavens and takes four months in passing any one place. It was during the struggle with this creature that Juno induced the crab to crawl out of the swamp and seize the mighty giant's toes, afterward placing the crab on the Dark Sign, Cancer, which lies just west of Leo.

The eleventh Labor of Hercules was the obtaining of the three golden apples from the Garden of the Hesperides. The location of these gardens, according to most versions of the story, was to the west of Mount Atlas where this most rare and delightful tree was guarded by a dragon and the four nieces of Atlas. Atlas, who knew best where to find the apples, offered to obtain them for Hercules if he would hold up the heavens while he was gone. Nothing daunted Hercules, so,

In the meantime Atlas went to the garden and got the apples from his nieces. But according to another myth, Hercules went himself and stole the apples, after slaying the dragon that guarded them. It is to be noted that in the constellations Hercules has been placed in a decidedly uncomfortable position so that he might rest his foot upon the Sky Dragon, Draco—so perhaps Draco,

title: Page:The Music of the Spheres.djvu/121


text:
Page:The Music of the Spheres.djvu/122

 after all, was the monster that was wound around that wondrous apple tree.

There is also a possibility that the sixth Labor of Hercules has been memorialized in the sky although the weight of evidence is against it. In his sixth Labor, Hercules destroyed the cruel carnivorous birds with the arrows he had dipped in the blood of the poisonous hydra. These birds, which had brazen wings, beaks and claws, hovered over the stagnant waters of Lake Stymphalus, in Arcadia, and ravaged all the surrounding country. This praiseworthy deed may have been represented in the sky by the "bird" constellations, Cygnus, Lyra and Aquila, which hover near the stream of the Milky Way, and in the little arrow Sagitta, which lies not far away, but it is more than likely, according to the majority of the myths, that these constellations were named in honor of other things rather than to commemorate the deeds of Hercules.

Among other exploits which illustrate the unrivaled prowess of this hero, are his battles with giants, monsters and centaurs; catching Diana's brazen-footed stag by driving it deep into a snowdrift in the distant northland; obtaining the girdle of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, in the land of women; capturing boars, bulls, mares and even bringing from the infernal regions the three-headed dog Cerberus.

The greatest demonstration of his strength, aside from the time that he upheld the heavens for Atlas, is reported by the historian Pliny. According to the myth which Pliny relates, Hercules had rent asunder the rocks which had previously divided the Mediterranean from the ocean; although another legend takes the opposite view and asserts that he had narrowed the strait in order to exclude the sea-monsters which had hitherto forced their way in from the ocean. This gateway, known as the "Pillars of Hercules," consists of two promontories which bounded the

 would you give us, Mr. Huss, if you were the Creator? Pardon me if I startle you, gentlemen, but that is a fair question to ask. For it is clear to me now, Mr. Huss, that no less than that will satisfy you. Woldingstanton, for all the wonders you have wrought there, in spite of the fact that never before and never again can there be such a head, in spite of the fact that you have lit such a candle there as may one day set the world ablaze, is clearly too small a field for you. Headmaster of the universe is your position. Then, and then alone, could you display your gifts to the full. Then cats would cease to eat birds, and trees grow on in perfect symmetry until they cumbered the sky. I can dimly imagine the sort of world that it would be; the very fleas reformed and trained under your hand, would be flushed with health and happiness and doing the work of boy scouts; every blade of grass would be at least six feet long. As for the liver fluke—but I cannot solve the problem of the liver fluke. I suppose you will provide euthanasia for all the parasites"

Abruptly Mr. Farr passed from this vein of terrible humour to an earnest and pleading manner. "Mr. Huss, with mortal danger so close to you, I entreat you to reconsider all this wild and wicked talk of yours. You take a few superficial aspects of the world and frame a judgment on them; you try with the poor foot-rule of your mind to measure the plans of God, plans which are longer than the earth, wider than the sea. I ask you, how can such insolence help you in this supreme emergency? There can be little time left"

nations! You try the house, marm, and if the ghost bothers you, why I'll ask no rent. There! I can’t say fairer?”

“No. It’s a bargain, Mr. Lemon.”

The lady held out one daintily-kidded hand, with a second charming smile.

“It is partly furnished, is it not? Will you show it to me now, that I may know what I want? I wish to enter at once. My name,” with a third electric smile full at-the squire, “is Mrs. Seaton, and my husband has been dead for seven months. He was a merchant in Boston.”

“How uncommonly good-looking she is!” thought the elderly squire, getting a little fluttered under this masked battery of brilliant smiles; “I wish she would put up her veil and let’s have a better look at her. I’m very glad the cottage is going to be rented, and remarkably glad we’re going to have such a real nice tenant! She’ll be company for Nelly, too—keep her from moping her addled wits out among the trees and flowers.”

Side by side, Squire Lemon and his fair tenant sauntered down the leafy lane that led from the house to the cottage. Mrs. Seaton talked viva- ciously, and in a way that showed her heart had not been altogether broken by the decease of the late lamented Mr. Seaton.

Eleanor Lemon, sitting among pansies and daisies under the waving willows, idling over Tennyson, looked up in some surprise at her father, and the stately lady in widow’s weeds. Mrs. Seaton glanced her bright eyes that way too.

“Your daughter, I presume, Squire Lemon? I heard you had an only daughter. Such a very, very pretty girl! She's exceedingly like you!”

“What a delightful woman this is!” thought the squire. “'Pon my word, it’s a pleasure to hear her talk!”

“Has she been ill?” the widow said; she looks sadly pale.”

“Well, ma’am,” said Squire Lemon, in an outburst of confidence, “I'll tell you how itis! She’s been, and set her heart on some chap down to Boston—a drygoods clerk, without money in his pocket, or, I suppose, brains in his head—one George Lyon, if ever you heard the name. I let her go, last Christmas, to spend the holidays with her aunt—and what does she do but come back engaged! But I’ll take the nonsense out of her. She’s kinder pining, you see, ma’am, as young folks will in these cases, and she’s took to poetry and turning pale. By-and-by, Mrs. Seaton, I’ll get you to talk to her, and reason her out of her nonsense. Here’s the house, ma’am—walk right. in.”

The squire and the widow explored the house, and the widow was delighted.

“I’ll have a piano in that corner,” she said, “and this shall be my sleeping-room. I won't have a servant for two reasons—the first, I prefer to do my own work; the second, no one would live in the haunted house. I'll move in this very evening.”

Mrs. Seaton was a woman of delightful energy and promptitude. Before the sun set, everything needful was disposed within the cottage, and Mrs. Seaton herself came with the dusk. And all Lemonville knew that the haunted house had a tenant, and great was the wondering thereat.

Early next forenoon, the squire called politely upon his new tenant. He entered the parlor, where a delicious half-light reigned, where a piano stood, and flowers bloomed, and where the widow, still in trailing sab!es and jet ornaments, received him. She was handsome, very handsome, in a large and grand sort of way, and was not an inch under five feet ten—Squire Lemon’s style precisely

“I always did like your big, and buxom, and bouncing sort of women,” thought the squire, sitting complacently under the light of sparkling If ever I marry again,” surveying the magnificent “Cleopatra before him, “I should like a woman like this Mrs. Seaton.”

Mrs. Seaton might have been a witch, so artfully did she wile away the time. She talked to the squire, she played for him, she sang for him, she laughed and jested, and derided the ghost, and made herself altogether so bewitching, that the squire found it was one o'clock, and his dinner-time, before he thought half an hour was gone.

«Come again,” Mrs. Seaton said, as he rose to go, ‘tit would be a charity to my loneliness. And send your pretty, pale daughter, please.”

The squire went home all in a delightful tingle and glow. On the way he met his pale, pensive Eleanor.

“Nelly,” he said, with unusual gentleness, “you look dull, child. Go and call on Mrs. Seaton at the cottage. She’s a delightful person, and will cheer you up directly.”

‘Yes, papa,” Eleanor said, listlessly. She didn’t care much for Mrs. Seaton, and she rather  preferred moping herself to death, since she was  never more to see her darling George; but her aimless feet turned of themselves down the lane in the direction of the cottage. The tall, handsome widow stood in the vine-wreathed doorway, among the climbing roses, like a picture in a frame.

 towards me again, tears were glistening beneath them.

“Ah no,” she said. “He doesn’t like me. He despises me. And I am so sorry for him,—I would give my life to make him well again. But don’t tell him that I said so. He would be angry with me. I think that he has hated me for a long time. He never had a kind look for me, although we were neighbors at home in Bohemia. He never had a friendly word for any of the girls from the village,—he is in love with some lady of high rank.”

He is in love with the empty air, with a phantom, with a creation of his morbid fancy,—and here is this beautiful and wholesome reality, I thought to myself.

“He does nothing but write,” continued the girl; “writing isn’t good for him, is it?”

“No, not at all.”

“He writes in the night time as well,—only yesterday there was a light in his window until after midnight,—he was writing,—he was seen by,—by,—one of his neighbors.”

“Indeed? Well, at my next visit I must see that it does not occur again. Otherwise he will certainly bring an early death upon himself. Goodbye.”

I spurred my horse on, and heard the girl’s thanks behind me as I cantered towards Novorossijsk.

Tabunov stood up.

“Well, go on, go on,” said various members of the party.

But the surgeon declared with determination: “We must strike our tents and move forwards if we are to reach our destination before the swelter of noon. Then in the pleasant shadow I will finish my story about fame.”

Under this title the Washington Post, one of the most influential dailies of the United States, published the following leading article on March 7, 1920, on the occasion of President Masaryk’s seventieth birthday:

This day has been made a holiday by the Czecho-Slovak republic, and there is reason to believe that it will be celebrated hereafter in perpetuity. It is the anniversary of the birth of Thomas G. Masaryk, first president of the republic, who has reached the age of 70 years, and who, blessed with health and strength, is completing the structure of the free government he has done so much to establish. The singularity of his standing among modern state-builders, and the resemblance of his career to that of George Washington, make him a peculiarly interesting figure to Americans.

The Bohemian people are not postponing until Masaryk’s death the homage that is due him. In this respect they imitate the Americans, who recognized in their first President a man so fixed in purity of character that it was not necessary to observe precaution in doing him honor. Washington was acclaimed President by all parties, and so was Masaryk. Each was first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.

Washington faced no greater or more disheartening tasks than those which confronted Masaryk.

In the complexity of political problems the creation of the free nation of Czechs and Slovaks was a harder task than the creation of the United States. But for the burning patriotism and clear vision of a man peculiarly equipped for his work, there would have been no United States and no Czecho-Slovakia. Each of these men labored for the establishment of a “nation of laws and not of men,” and each succeeded, but before the nation of laws could come into existence it was necessary that nations of men should be wrestled with, and that unstinted outpourings of the energy of the human heart should be offered, in meekness and with a “sad sincerity,” as libations to the goddess of liberty. Each of the nation-builders “builded wiser than he knew.” Washington, with all his marvelous foresight, did not fully comprehend a century’s development, and doubtless Masaryk only dimly imagines the place which he and his country will occupy a century hence. His nation is stronger and more populous than was the nation that hailed Washington as its first President. His country’s history goes further back, and in it pages are many glowing records of heroism and genius. The growth of the United States under a form of free government such as that which Masaryk has established in Bohemia ought to inspire the most optimistic sentiments throughout the new republic.

One of the facts common to the establishment of both the United States and Czecho-Slovakia, which never should be forgotten, is this: France was the faithful ally and friend of both. Without France Washington’s efforts would have been in vain. Without France Masaryk could not have achieved the independence of Bohemia. In the ever-enduring cement which binds the foundation stones of these republics is mixed the blood of Frenchmen shed for others in the cause of liberty.

Another fact that should not be forgotten is this: It was in this Capital, under the folds of the

 American flag, that Masaryk wrote the Bohemian declaration of independence. At that time his people were under the Hapsburg heel, and there was talk of giving the Bohemians “autonomy” in exchange for their surrender of liberty. The Hapsburg dynasty had endured for ages. There was no indication of the magnificent onslaught that Italy was preparing, much less any assurance of its triumph. Yet Masaryk felt and declared that Bohemia was and of right ought to be free and independent. His declaration has taken its place with the immortal expressions of man’s determination to be free.

Neither Washington nor Masaryk could have made a nation if its men had not been worthy of liberty. There is considerable resemblance between the Czecho-Slovak army and the Americans who fought under Washington. Both forces were distinguished by simplicity, strong self-reliance, ingenuity in emergencies, good humor and dauntless courage. They were men of medium height, rather slight than stocky, quick in speech and perception, instinctive in their teamwork, inured to hardship and intensely patriotic. Yet there was strong idealism in their souls and a pathetic tenderness in their personal and family ties.

The anabasis of the Czecho-Slovak forces in Russia is an illustration of the happy ingenuity and resourcefulness of that nation. The exploits of the army that went around the world will be recounted whenever classic examples of endurance and audacity are cited. The best that an American can say of that campaign is that it was conducted as Americans would have conducted it. Many of the lads who became veterans in those adventures were, indeed, former immigrants to America, who had felt the vigor of the American spirit. They were directed by Masaryk from Washington, and he drew confidence and audacity direct from the American fountain.

The free republic of Bohemia goes into the twentieth century with exultant heart. It has hard problems, but it is free to solve them by itself, in behalf of its own people, without the interference of the accursed race that so long blighted Europe. Every American rejoices in the freedom of the Czechs and Slovaks, and wishes them happiness and prosperity. May the founder of their republic be spared to complete his wonderful work.

The capital of the United States in which Masaryk received notification of his election to the presidency of the Czechoslovak Republic sixteen months ago was the scene of an elaborate celebration of his seventieth birthday on March 7. The Czechoslovak legation of which the president’s son, John G. Masaryk, is at present in charge, gave a reception in the ballroom of the New, Willard Hotel in which several hundred guests participated. Mr. Masaryk was assisted by Col. V. S. Hurban, military attaché of the legation, and Mrs. Olga Hurban, by Mrs. Henry M. Ferguson, sister of President Masaryk’s wife, and by Mrs. Michael Gallagher and Miss Ferguson, also related to the family. The special feature of the reception was the appearance of Emma Destinnova who sang Czech and Slovak folk songs, accompanied at piano by Mr. Masaryk.

Among the distinguished guests were Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of President Wilson, French ambassador J. J. Jusserand, dean of the Washington diplomatic corps, Spanish ambassador Riano, Italian ambassador Baron Avezzano, Belgian and Argentine ambassadors, Jugoslav and Swiss ministers, secretary of the British embassy, the papal delegate Archbishop Bonzano, Admiral Rousseau, Czechoslovak Consul General Kopecký and many other diplomats and official personages. According to Washington papers the reception was one of the most brilliant affairs of a brilliant season.

Mrs. Clara V. Winlow, author of several books dealing with the Czechoslovaks, has been placed in charge of Foreign Extension Work of the Public Library of Los Angeles. The object of her work is to bring about a broad and friendly understanding and sympathy between the American and foreign groups in the city. Her program includes talks at foreign societies in foreign languages, and addresses in English on the art, literature and music of foreign countries; exhibits showing something of the wonderful folk art inheritance that foreigners bring to this country will be a feature of her work.

Her first accomplishment in this line is the exhibit of sixty etchings of a Czech artist of New York, J. C. Vondrouš, loaned by Dr. Henry J. John who is temporarily in California. While these etchings were on exhibit, Dr. John gave a talk to a large audience in the library auditorium on the problems confronting the foreign born on coming to this country. A collection of Czech and Slovak books will be added to the Los Angeles library’s collections of foreign literature.

The Rockefeller Foundation for Medical Research has granted fellowships to four Czechoslovak physicians to enable them to study American methods of public health administration. All of them had medical experience during the war and one of them was wounded in the discharge of his duties.

Dr. Zdeněk Bernard, 29 years old, received his doctor’s degree at the University of Prague in

 THE GHOST OF LEMON LANE.

BY MAY CARLETON.

The house was haunted! You would not have thought so, perhaps, at first sight, for a prettier little cottage, nestling amongst sweet-briar and cinnamon roses, snowy white, with preterna turally green doors and blinds, and sparkling little lattice-windows, you could not wish to see. It stood within Squire Lemon’s grounds, down at the remote end of Squire Lemon’s long garden, and, of course, Squire Lemon was its owner.

Yes, the cottage in Lemon Lane was haunted. Half a dozen years ago, the squire’s gardener, who lived there, had come home in the small hours in a raging state of drink, and had killed his wife; and next morning, in a fit of impotent penitence, cut his own throat. They buried the tragic gardener and his wife out of sight, and the cottage in Lemon Lane was “to let.” But untold gold could not have induced the good people in that little town to pitch their tent amongst the golden willows and cinnamon roses. Whether it was the gardener, or whether it was his wife, or whether it were both, nobody could tell for certain; but the house was pronounced to be haunted.

Squire Lemon stood at his study-window, looking frowningly aslant a long vista of sunshine, and yellow willows, and flaming red roses, down at the offending cottage, gleaming like a toy-house of ivory amidst the bright green gloom. Not all the sparkling morning sunlight, not all that brilliant garden picture, could efface one of those ugly, wicked little wrinkles from the smoke-dried face of grim Squire Lemon.

“It’s a hundred and fifty dollars a year clean out of my pocket,” mused the squire, scowling at the haunted house. ‘Six years that cottage has been vacant, and six times one hundred and fifty is nine hundred dollars. Nine hundred dollars out of a man’s pocket, because a drunken brute comes home and kills his wife, and cuts; his throat for his own amusement.”

The squire broke off with a very sour face, for fluttering in and out amongst the trees came a girlish figure, slender and graceful as became its owner’s eighteen years. Very slowly and spiritlessly she walked, and very, very pale was the pretty face, upon which the jubilant summer sun shone.

“And there’s another bother,” burst out the choleric squire, regarding angrily his only child and heiress. “I've fed her, and clothed her, and bought her a piano, and everything her  heart could desire- and what sort of a return does she make me? Why she goes and falls in love with a dandified, empty-headed, city counter-jumper! And she wants me to let her marry him, and spend my money for me! No, Miss Eleanor Lemon!" At this moment a servant came up, and said,

“A lady, sir, at the door, asking to see you."

“A lady! Who is she? What does she want?" “I don't know her, sir. It's about the haunt the cottage down the lane, I think. " The squire opened his eyes. Was it a tenant at last? “The cottage, eh? Show her in at once, Sam at once!" Squire Lemon seated himself in his chair of authority, and the next moment Sam reappeared, ushering in the lady. A lady, tall and majestic, who moved with slow, stately dignity; who was robed in deepest, deepest mourning-crape and bombazine, trailing grandly, gloomily, after her; a widow's cap encircling a pale, handsome face gleaming behind a long, crape veil.

“I heard at the hotel, Mr. Lemon, " the lady said, in a melodious monotone, sinking into the proffered chair, "that you had a desirable cottage to rent. Now I am in search of a small house; I am a widow, and live quite alone, and I have called to know your terms. " The squire gave a little gasp: he was so much taken by surprise. “The terms are nothing; the cottage is very cheap," he said, as soon as he could speak. “Eight lovely little rooms, ma'am, and only one hundred and hundred and fifty dollars a year; beautiful surroundings, as you may see, in the way of garden-grounds; and water and gas on the premises. It's a dead bargain."

The lady arose and surveyed the white cottage with a critical eye. “It's a pretty place," she said, “a very pretty place. But it has its drawback, Squire Lemon," turning to him with a charming smile. “I know all about the ghost!"

“Confound the ghost! I beg your pardon, ma'am, but the people are such—well, fools! The only ghosts are the wind, and the rats, and the trees, and the moonlight, and their imagi-

 1914; during the war he served as physician in cholera and epidemic cases; after 1917 he became assistant in the hospital for invalids in Prague. He intends to make a special study of the organization of hygienic work in factories. Dr. Karel Dřimal was also graduated from the medical faculty of the University of Prague in 1914, passed an examination in ship hygiene and tropical diseases and qualified as an officer of the state board of health. Dr. Hynek Pelc received his degree in 1918 and saw service with the Czechoslovak invalids in Cognac, France. Dr. Jaroslav Hulka, the last member of the party, is a recent graduate who will specialize in tuberculosis problems.

After completing their studies in the United States these men will return to Czechoslovakia to aid in the program of public health and medical education.

That the foreign born look upon the Americanization movement with suspicion cannot be denied. Nor can one wonder at it, when Americanization is interpreted by legislators as the imposing of restrictions upon the immigrant—suppressing his newspapers, forbidding him to use in public meetings the only language he knows, compelling him to become naturalized on pain of losing his job, in short making him a patriotic American by brute force. To be sure, most of these Americanizing proposals are pigeonholed in committees of congress and state legislatures, but the foreign born read of them and become mistrustful of the very word of Americanization.

And that is unfortunate, for Americanization in harmony with the old liberal ideals of the United States is needed by the foreign born. The Cleveland Americanization Committee, for instance, goes about its task in a different spirit than some of the legislators. They realize that the problem is not merely to bring to the immigrant the knowledge of America, its language, customs and ideals, but also to interpret the foreigner to the native American. As they express it, “without a common understanding of the best each has to offer no real fusion of new and older Americans will ever take place.”

Moved by this ideal the committee published pamphlets on the foreign born citizens of Cleveland. Our readers will be interested in two of them, “The Slovaks of Cleveland” and “The Czechs of Cleveland”, both written by Mrs. Eleanor E. Ledbetter.

The author is librarian of the Broadway Branch of the Cleveland Public Library. She knows the people about whom she writes; she is acquainted personally with their leading men, and she has taken the time and trouble to get her facts and get them right. An American who writes about the immigrant is likely to gather a few facts and base wide generalizations upon them. Mrs. Ledbetter’s method is different; she gathers a great many facts and makes sure that they are facts, and then lets the facts speak for themselves.

The article on Slovaks of Cleveland gives also, as the title states, some general information on the race. It was written in summer of 1918, when Slovakia was still subject to Magyar tyranny, although the day of liberation was already seen at hand. Physical, economic and political conditions of Slovakia are described with some detail, and then the author tells of Slovak settlement in the United States and the beginnings of their settlement in Cleveland. She describes their churches, fraternal societies, newspapers, loan associations, their qualities as desirable addition to America. The account is sympathetic, sober and true.

In dealing with the Czechs, the author planned her story on slightly different lines. She wrote, when the Czechoslovak Republic was already in existence, and she assumed that the Czechs (Bohemians) are better known than the Slovaks. So after a brief introduction she plunges into a history of the Czechs in Cleveland. The first Bohemians in Cleveland came in 1850, thirty years ahead of the Slovaks. They were great home builders which leads the author to speak of their savings and loan associations. She goes on to describe their musical and dramatic organizations, the peculiar religious situation prevailing among the Bohemians in America, their churches, national organizations, the share they take in Cleveland’s industrial and civic life, and their share in the great war. The pamphlet presents a very full and fair account of the life of Czechs in Cleveland.

Both pamphlets are well got-up, and their interest is increased by numerous good illustrations.

Albert Mamatey, president of the Slovak League of America, has returned from a trip to the Czechoslovak Republic, where he was instrumental in settling the question of Slovak autonomy on a basis which both Czech and Slovak deputies found acceptable.

''Fifty complete sets of the 1919 issues of the Czechoslovak Review have been neatly bound and will be sent postpaid for $2.25 per volume. The volume is a book of 400 pages. It is a chronicle of events of the first year of Czechoslovak independence, and it contains besides a mass of other information as to the Czechoslovak nation, not available elsewhere in English. As there are only fifty copies of this bound volume, send in your order at once.''

 Providence was manifestly resolved to give Mr. Farr the maximum of dramatic effect. "But what is this?" said Mr. Farr. He stood up and looked out of the window.

was heard in the passage, someone was admitted, there were voices, and the handle of the parlour door was turned. As'ent E come then?" they heard the voice of Mrs. Croome through the opening. Dr. Elihu Barrack appeared in the doorway.

He was a round-headed young man with a clean-shaven face, a mouth that was determinedly determined and slightly oblique, a short nose, and a general expression of resolution; the fact that he had an artificial leg was scarcely perceptible in his bearing. He considered the four men before him for a moment and then addressed himself to Mr. Huss in a tone of brisk authority. "You ought to be in bed," he said.

"I had this rather important discussion," said Mr. Huss, with a gesture portending introductions.

"But sitting up will fatigue you," the doctor insisted, sticking to his patient.

"It won't distress me so much as leaving these things unsaid would have done."

"Opinions may differ upon that," said Mr. Farr darkly.

"We are still far from any settlement of our diffculties," said Sir Eliphaz to the universe.
