ARTISTS EMBLEMS.
In Whistler's Butterfly Could Be Found
the Monogram j. w.

The mystic emblem or device OF a
sort Of Whistlerized butterfly was
adopted in the sixties by the eccentric
genius James Abbott Whistler. who
changed his name later TO James Nc
Neill whistler
Close study will reveal that this Pc
culiar scroll is really monogram of
j. w. The earliest of the etchings to
bear the butterfly is Chelsea Wharf
QS63). but many paintings and etch-
ings after that date are signed "Whis-
tier"
Artists have sometimes signed their
pictures In some distinct form instead
of their names. 1t generally was done
when the name might suggest some
emblem or symbol.
Thus Hieronymus Cock demarked
two fighting cocks on his panels; Mari
otto Albertinelli signed cross with
two interlaced rings. referring to the
sacerdotal duties TO which at one time
OF his life he devoted himself; Martin
Rota, wheel; PETER de Ryng. ring
with a diamond: Giovanni Dossi. a
bone: Del Mazo Martinez. hammer;
Lionello Spada. sword
Sometimes caprice dictated the selec-
ton, as when Jacopo de Barberi used
the caduceus. or Mercury rod; Hendrix
dc Bles an owl. Lucas Cranach a
crowned serpent. Cornelius Engel-

a weather vane and Hans Holbein a

Advocates Commission Plan of Govern
ment

That commission form of govern
ment would be feasible for the state of
Washington and every county of which
it is COMPOSED is the belief of Senator A.
w. Anderson, of Stevens county.
The essential change from the present
form of government, according to Sena-
tor Anderson's idea, would be the ap-
pointment OF clerk. auditor. treasurer,
surveyor, ETC., by a board of county
which would be an cleo
tive body.
"There is no reason" says Senator
Anderson, why the commissioners,
whether they are three or five in num-
Der, should not be made responsible for
the conduct of all county business.
In the state government the legisla-
ture could not be done away with, bat
the form of government could be changed
into more of a beaureaucracy than at
present with benefit. If the systems
were changed provisions for recall and
direct legislation by initiative and refer
endum would, of course, have to be in
corporated."
