MARKET ADVANCE IS VERY ENCOURAGING Average Above Top Figures
 in January UNDERLYING FORCES Street More and More Convinced That Roosevelt Movement Has Failed.
 Labor Situation Is Not
 Causing Alarm
By w. c. NIcHoLAs

New York, March 23-(Special.) .)-Market action for the last week has been con- tinuation of the progressive advance which began in a hesitating manner more than a month ago. The high range of days carried the average above the top figures made early in January, although
 in some few cases the gap is not entirely filled, although at the stride taken during the bull fiurries it looked as though the full improvement would take in every thing on the list.
 Doubtless there has been considerable manipulation but the advance has been too general and interest too widespread and deeply grounded to be entirely due to artificial methods. The big upward move ment has meant something more than the efforts of professional market leaders and syndicates. It has signalized a public realization that this is too big a country to be kept down by reason of political az
 tation and msconception of the impor- tance of events of only temporary con3e- quence. The market may now be said to be selling ex-fear of Roosevelt, eX-strikes, ex-tariff ex-nervous fright over imagi- nary evils lurking in the dark, hazy back ground and ex-practcally everything of a depressing nature.

name the canvas bears.
Luca Giordano was born In Naples IN
1882 When a very small boy he showed
such talent for art that the vtceroy OF
Naples placed him under the tutelage OF
a fairly well known painter. BY the
time he was thirteen, however. he deter
mined to go to Rome and made his way
there alone. His object was to copy
works by Raphael and Michael Angelo,
whose fame he had heard Of. and this
employed him to assist with his decora-
tons and in whatever he did success
awaited him. In 1872 he was invited to
Madrid, where he became the court
remained in Spain, and it is quite prob
able that the picture now in Georgetown
College was painted during this period.
Later he returned to Naples and exc

He is said to have been "a painter OF

at the college is in excellent state OF

attributed to Barberi, better known. as

1t was Schofield and Redfeld, both Phia-
delphians. who first opened the eyes OF
painters and public to the charm of this
type of winter scene. There is a SINH
larity in the work of these two men. and
yet In many ways their paintings are
very individual. Mr. Schofield has, per-
haps, little more feeling for the pic
torial and little more regard for tonal
values than Mr.. Redfield. Both, however,

For years paintings by Mr.. Schofield

pictures toned low. A number are of

quaint foreign towns; still more are Of
open stretches OF country through
which wind half-frozen streams.
Not few are of plain little towns,
homely and unpretentious. and yet
homelike and attractive as seen man
tied with snow or bathed in winter
sunlight. Mr.. Schofield's pictures do
not invite contemplation, but rather
excite admiration; they energize the
observer as does strong air; they are
modern and at the same time tradi-
tiona1. The exhibition continues
through February 4. and is without
doubt an event Of unusual Importance.

TIE SOICoTdU To-Day u
~ special exhibition of paintings
"a by Walter Elmer Schofeld
4 opens. Mr.. Schofleld is one of
the most distinguished OF our
American painters. He was born in Phil
adelphia In 1867, and studied first at the
Pennsylvania Academy Of the Fine Arts
and later in Paris under Bouguereau,
Ferrier. Doucet and Aman-Jean. He is
a member Of the National Academy of
Design and of the Royal Academy of
England. Though he is a loyal Ameri-
can, he has lived for several years at
st. Ives, Cornwall. England, until now
the British show an inclination to count
him among their own.
When the Franco-British exposition was
held at Shepherds Bush. Just outside of
London. about four years ago. there were
to be found in the British section of the
art exhibition paintings not only by Sar-
gent and Shannon, but by F. D. Millet
and Walter Elmer Schofield, all four of
whom are Americans by birth. Mr.. Scho-
field is one Of the leaders of the realistic
school Of landscape painting-that school
which has demonstrated beyond question
the fact that beauty in landscape is much
more dependent upon light and atmOs-
phere than upon form or composition.
There Is something essentially virile
in Mr.. Schofield's work-something which,
right or wrong. commands respect. He
expresses himself tersely but strongly,
and what he says invariably carries con-
viction Writing of Mr.. Schofield's work
some years ago, Mr.. Isham said:
HE lays on his pigment in broad, firm
touches. and the picture has a tendency
to lie on the surface of the canvas as a
decorative pattern
This. however. is not true today: one
can. figuratively speaking, walk into the
pictures by Mr.. Schofield which are now
on view in the hemicycle hall of the Cor
coran Gallery. These paintings have
decorative quality, the coloring is strong
and agreeable, their lines are well found
and mass balances mass. but first and
above all they are veracious and mirror
nature. They are, indeed, as so many
windows thrown open to the light AS a
rule one associates landscape painting
with summer. but these, almost without
exception, are winter pictures. Some are
snow scenes, but many present the win

duced at social gatherings. One of them
is the turkey trot.' which has met with
SO much antagonism. Similar to the

grizzly bear" Texas Tommy" and
''come back, kid" each of which is being
danced by gay young people in some OF
the larger cities.
There has been great change of feel

cities. at any rate, which absolutely pro-
hibit it, although a generation ago 1t was
not unusual for a member to be as
missed from church membership for IN
Nulging in q single dance. Many
churches now are recognizing the dance
as a valuable adjunct to their work with
young people. Dancing teachers paid by
the church sometimes train classes In the
parish house or social hall. Instead OF
denouncing heaithful exercise, many
ministers are now turning their attention
to the consideration Of means by which
it may be made helpful to the church.
The same spirit of tolerance prevails
nouncing young working girls for going
to dances, phlianthrop.c women are try
ing to give them the pleasure OF dancing
while protecting them from harmful re-
SUITS. A committee has been formed in
New York city for the purpose of i'm
proving the dance halls and dancing
academies patronized by young girls. II
has been found that the dance halls are
usually adjuncts to saloons and the girls
who go there to dance are urged to drink
by the men they meet The dancing acad-
emies give classes three or four nights
week to which tuition fees are asked.
On other evenings and Sunday after
moons all Of the pupils are permitted to
attend public dances, which are open to
Others for an admission of from to .
cents. The committee is preparing Dbl
to present to the state legislature requir-
ing a fifty-dollar license for keeping a
dance hall and the license Is to be held
responsible for the good conduct of the
place. It is proposed to start model dane
ing academies in localities where they are
most needed as soon as sufficient funds
can be secured for the purpose. One
thousand dollars will start an institution
Of this kind. which can be made almost
