downward.
Mr.. Lie had studio last summer. at
Rockport, Mass, and many of the paint
ings which he shows now for the frst
time are of subjects found in that vicin-
ity. For instance, the picture entitled
1.-The Inner Harbor" is undoubtedly the
harbor Of Gloucester. and that of sloop
anchored before wharf on the end Of

gether charming and accomplished at
tainment.
And yet word must be said of Mr..
Lies paintings of still life and of his
picture of chickens These. of all the
twenty paintings shown, will probably
call forth most discussion and be least
| understood. 1t is not as flowers that Mr..
Lie has painted the bowls of purple as
ters and red nasturtiums, nor as chickens
that he has painted the handsome fowls
in the barnyard behind the wire netting
fence, but as notes in a color scheme
wherein one may find discord as well as
harmony. the former introduced as in

The Englishwoman of the seventeenth

English landladies to take supper with

they have daughters they are also of the
company to entertain the guests with

y SPECIAL exhibition OF paintings
~ by Jonas Lie opened in the Cor
"a coran Gallery of Art Wednes-
Il day. Mr.. Lie is Norwegian by
birth. but an American by adop-
ton. His father was a civil engineer and
the brother of the well known Norwegian
poet and novelist whose name the painter
bears His mother is an American, and
on the death of her husband returned
with her son, then a lad of twelve years
of age. to her own country. Mr.. Lie was
educated in New York. He is student
of the school of the National Academy of
Design and Of the Art Students League
but he has developed his art on distinctly
individual lines, and is regarded today as
one of the strongest and most promising
of the younger painters. He was born in
1880 and began exhibiting in 1900, albeit
he was not able until recent years to de-
vote his entire time to his art.
For several years after his graduation
from the Ethical Culture School in New
York he held position as a designer in
n cotton print factory This apprentice
ship has undoubtedly stood him i'll good
stead strengthening his appreciation of
the value of decorative design and his
knowledge of color. His pictures are es-
sentally yirile, in some instances bril-
ilantiy Col0rfui, IN every case fOrce1ul.
Form means much to him. surface beauty
very little His compositions have unity
inasmuch they apparently grasped
as u whole. The hardness of the Nor
wegian manifests itself in his work. but
with this trait of character is displayed
the optimism and energy of the American.
Mr.. Lies paintings are bold and Wig
orouS. but they are also thoughtful and
progressive. While building on the ira
dtions of the past, he is looking ahead,
solving new problems and seeking new
themes. He was one of the first to dare
to paint a picture from a high view
point and as looking down. why not"
he says. .'look down as we'll as up?'
And truly. why not? In actual fact. it
is not even now an unusual viewpoint,
since We look down continually from high
buildings, lofty bridges and the like.
Another thing Mr.. Lie has to his credit
is the fact that rule he finds his
subjects in the commonplace, and i'm his
paintings truly reflect modern life-the
life of the time in which he lives.
These characteristics will be found
strikingiy illustrated in the collection of
twenty paintings which are now on view
I'm the hemicycle hall of the Corcoran
Gallery. BY some persons certain can

sidered very extreme. even raw and in

DEMOCRATS SURE OF 4s.
Result In oregon Gives Them Control
Of Upper Branch; First Time
In Eighteen Years.

Washington.-The announcement of
the success of Harry Lane. the Dem
ocratic candidate for the Senate in Or
egon, assures Democratic control of
the upper House Of Congress and
places both branches of the national
Legislature and the presidency In their
hands for the first time in eighteen
years.
The addition of Oregon to the DEM
ocratic list gives that party forty-nine
senator's, or majority of two.
In addition to the election of sue
cessors to Democratic senators now
sitting, Democrats will displace Re-
publicans from Oregon. New Jersey,
Kansas, Colorado. Montana, Delaware
and Nevada. and will fill the vacancy
in Colorado with man of their choos-
ing. The contests in Illinois, where
two senators are to be chosen. and in
Tennessee and Michigan. remain to be
decided.
The Democrats make positive
claims concerning some of these states
but whatever the result in any or all
Of them, Democratic control of the
Senate is assured.
With twenty-five districts yet to hear
from, the Democrats will have 296
members of the House. the Repub-
licans ia and the Progressives 13
members.
