STEVEN SELECTION
OF INTEREST HERE
Washington Architects Approve Ap-
pointment of New Yorker as Di-
rector of American Academy.

Washington architects have received
with great interest the announcement of
the appointment of Gorham Phillips
Stevens. Of New York. as director Of the
American Academy OF Art in Rome, a
position recently made vacant by the
resignation OF Frederick Crowninshield
Although yet a comparatively young
man, Mr.. Stevens Is well known through
out the country and his appointment as
head of the academy has met with ap-
proval everywhere. Mr.. Stevens grad
uated from the Massachusetts Institute
OF Technology in 1893, and then spent
five years abroad studying the architec-
ture OF the Old World. Since 1905 he has
been associated with the firm OF McKim,
Mead & White, architects, of New York
City.
The American Academy in Rome was
the subject OF an address by George
Oakley Totten, jr., architect. of this
city, at the ninth international congress
or architects, held in Rome last October.
Mr.. Totten. who attended the congress
as the official delegate from the United
States government. had served in this
capacity at several other meetings of the
congress.
The American Academy was established
in 1884. chartered by the State OF New
York in 1897, and Incorporated by the
Congress in 1906, and made possible
largely through the efforts OF Charles F.
McKim and his friends. Supported by
private contributions, II has no connec-
ton whatever with the United States
government. The academy was opened
at the Villa Aurora, in the Ludoyisi dis
trict- The following year Henry Walters,
OF Baltimore, purchased the Villa Mira
fiori, in the Via Nomentana, including
the large and beautiful gardens which
surround il, and gave it to the school
Recently the Villa Aurelia. on the Jani-
culum. has been bequeathed to the
academy, which will shortly occupy this
new site.
According to the present arrangement.
students of the academy are chosen by
competitive examinations from male can
didates, citizens of the United States.
They must present diplomas certifying
to their completion OF the required work
OF certain schools, or must give evil
dence of the satisfactory completion of
certain courses Of study. Three students
are thus selected every year, one each
for the subjects Of painting. sculpture,
and architecture. The course Of instruc-
ton covers a period of three years.
Each beneficiary. on his departure from
home, receives travelling expenses to
Rome, and on completion Of his full
term OF study his expenses to his home
in the United States. He receives an
nually, for not less than three years,
$1,000. During their sojourn in Rome the
students are required TO live in the
academy, where studio facilities and
sleeping rooms are provided without
charge.

health, DIR. Davenport walked up and
down before the assemblage, turning
around, that her hearers might see with
their own eyes woman Just a dozen
years short OF the century mark, a great
great-grandmother. and still possessing a
natural figure that would create envy
even among a flock Of newly budded
debutantes.
Apparently satisfied that she had con-
WINGED the gathering that corsets are not
essential to lines as classic as those pos
sessed by Venus de Milo or her rival, the
Greek slave, DR.. Davenport next concen-
trated the rapid fire of her verbal Eat-
ting gun upon the much-loved, stylish,
and seemingly harmless little tight-fitting
feminine shoe with souI-satisfying, heart
inspiring. and health-wrecking French
heel, curling delicately up from the pave
ment and placing milady's heel where
her ankle should be.

IMPLORBS WOMEN
TO QUIT CORSETS
DR.. Charlotte Davenport, Aged
Eighty-eight, Urges Society to
Abandon False Lives.
Fourth foor-G ST.

Her features set in an expression OF
appeal, her 1.-THE figure atremble with
emotion. and her voice pitched to a
tone of deep sincerity, Dr. Charlotte de
Goliere Davenport, of Paris and st.
Petersburg, who probably is the most
eminent feminine authority on hygiene
and physical culture not only in Amer
ica but throughout Europe, yesterday
afternoon impIored ultra-fashionable
society women to abandon the false
lives they now are living and take
their proper part in the making Of
history.
Declaring that the corset is a tenn
porary makeshift in procuring a good
figure and serves to eventually destroy
the beautiful, graceful lines fashioned
by the hand of the Creator instead Of
preserving the sveIt form for which
feminine members of society languish.
DR.. Davenport called. attention to her
own faultless physical self, clad in a
gown of silk, lace. and pearl beads
that would have done credit to the
genius of that premier designer of
feminine garments, Paquin, of Partisan
fame.
Appliance and Envy.
ArouslnE both the applause and envy
of the fashionable audience Of leading
society women of Washington, who
crowded the parlors and thronged the
corridors of the Arlington to hear the
noted lecturer, DIR. Davenport somewhat
startled the majority of her audience by
declaring she already has passed the
eighty-eighth milestone of her life; has
eleven sons, the Oldest of whom is sew
enty-one years of age, and has grand
children with grown children.
Prefacing her remarks with the state
ment that never has she found the arti-
fetal stay necessary in COMPRISING her
figure into the lines for which nearly
all women are willing to sacrifice their

Current Literature.

Current Literature for August is unique
among the magazines for its usual note of
authenticity and authority and its fine
sense of perspective. Succinctly and lu-
cidly the political situation is reviewed.
The possibilities of the new party are de-
fined. The matter of the contested dele
gates is presented from the view point of
various prominent investigators.
An interesting account of the Stockholm
games is one of the features. The most in
teresting political cartoons of the month are
included. Edward Locke's sensational psy-
chical melodrama, "The Case of Becky"
is published, almost in its entirety, for the
first time.
The Nijinsky- Rodin sensation is now
presented in its true light. "Tommy' -
Marshall, Democratic candidate for Vice
is sketched. Another interesting portrait
is that of Paul Deschanel, the poet who
may become President of France. Other
articles not to be missed are those on j. P
Morgan's greatest failure-the steamship
trust; the business side of baseball; frs,
aid for playwrights; an aviation OK pert's
defense of the dirigible. Among the ar
tistic and literary articles are GA Redis-
covered Satirist of Genius-Thomas Love
Peacock, "What Victor Hugo Means tc
Us To-Day" ''The Conquest of Love and
Death,'' by Edward Carpenter. Repre-.
sentative poetry of the past month has
been judiciously selected.

Ruston Leader: People will not recog-
nize the fact it is not punishment for crime
that brings disgrace, but the committing
of the offense. Men violate the law, and,
when detected and brought to the bar of
justice, they and their friends work hard
to defeat justice, and if they succeed and
escape just punishment they delude them
selves with the idea that they saved their
character, when the fact is they smirched
it when the offense was committed and they
have blackened it still more by resorting
to questionable methods to defeat justice.
However, some men fight only to escape
punishment, having no regard for char
acter.
