A peculiar conflict has arisen be-

for an art exposition at Brighton, and
Williamson, a Danish artist, was put
at the head Of a Danish committee for
selecting a collection of paintings.
But Mr.. Roberts, the English exposi-
ton commissioner, notified the Danes
that the committee had to be augment
ed by some English members in order
to prevent one Lideduess in the selec-
ton of paintings. To this the Danish
committee answered.: "Since strong
antagonism has appeared between our
views and those of Mr.. Roberts, with
regard to what is good art and what
is suitable for an exposition between
two countries, we regret that We must
continue the negotiations about the
the Danish art exposition in Brighton,

there will be an effort made by the

that body the handling of the funds
and specifying that salaries of its of
ficers and its running expenses be
paid from the state funds.
Il am opposed TO making these
pensions TO mothers appearing IN the
light of charity" said Mr. Neil. Il
think the law should be left as il is.
Now the mother who is entitled to the
benefits it confers feels that she is
doing something for the state for
which she has right to demand com.
pensation sufficient 10 sustain life and
keep her family together. If a char.
table organization stood between her
and the juvenile court she would be
placed in the position of a pauper."

TO SOB mothers having 100 children
