of record that PETER made any more
noise than mouse. Apparently all
he wanted was the privilege Of paint
ing the most marvellous interiors.
with amazing effects of light and
shade.
As in the case of Hobbema, De
Hooch's greatness was first recog-
nized in England, where the authori-
ties made such a fuss about his work
that Holland swiftly came to the con-
clusion that it had neglected one of
it's great men. Then began the diff
cult business of finding out something
about him.
After great searching it was finally
determined that he was born in Rot
terdam about 1892 What he did and
where he lived during the first TWEEN
ty-three years of his life are I'M
known. He is described as a painter
and servant to a certain merchant,
who was also something of patron
of the arts, De Hooch lived in Delft
for two years, from 1855 to 1857, as
the record of his marriage there and
his membership in the painters
guild prove. From that time until he
turned up in Amsterdam eleven years
later there is no trace of him. He
painted pictures in 1877; but after
that all record of him is lost, except
that he died in HARLEM about 1851.
De Hooch was one of the kindliest
and most charming painters of home
ly subjects that Holland has pro-
duced. All his paintings that have
survived are small. The only large
canvas that he ever painted was de-
stroyed in the fire of Rotterdam in
1864. Sometimes he chose a drawing
room with dancing cavaliers and
ladies as his subjects; but he much
preferred the homelier scenes, espe-
cially interiors illuminated by differ
ent intensities of light, and his spe-
cial joy seems to have been in paint
ing furniture.

Apparently no one had the slightest
interest in Pieter the painter while he
lived, nor for more than>century after
he died.
But Pieter de Hooch had no more
interest in people than they had in
him, if one is to judge by his pictures.
AS Professor j. c. Van Dyke says in
his book, "Old Dutch and Flemish
Masters:
From his pictures one might say
that PETER de Hooch had only a
slight interest in the intellectual,
moral, or spiritual life of humanity.
He used men and women much as he
used chairs, tables, floors and win
dows. People were to him objects
showing line, mass and color. He
never troubled himself to any extent
with their lives or adventures, their
thoughts or their emotions"

[ ROSTRUM
Fowler n Mystery.


To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
I think 1 voice the idea of many
other Republican voters when | say
that former Congressman Fowler is
more of mystery than a candidate.
OF course, we all know who he is,
but we don't know what his politics
are. and Mr.. Fowler apparently has
not made any effort to tell us.
In view of the fact that he has
made so many changes in his politi-
cal affiliations lately, winding up by
announcing that he will run for Gov
ernor at the Republican primaries af-
ter keeping his choice of party in
allowance for more than a month, he
should tell us, L think, what princi-
pies he is going to represent.
am prompted to write this by the
editorial anent Fowler in this morn
ing's Star Just as this editorial sets
forth, he has made his choice of party
after a careful survey of the political
field. After finding that the Geran
law will not allow him to run in the
| Progressive primaries with plat
form of his own, he turns around and
asks the party that he once deserted
to support him, with no other recon-
mendation than the fact that he is
| Fowler.
1t appears to me that Mr.. Fowler
activities as a candidate will rest very
much with former Senator Everett
Colby. If Senator Colby accepts the
Progressive nomination for Governor
Mr.. Fowler will be very much wor
ried, 1 think. He counts on getting
a big Progressive vote from the Colby
faction if Osborne actually become:
the candidate, hence his idea of few
days ago to run as a fusion candidate
Let him tell us just where HI
standsi REPUBLICAN.

TT is very certain that Pieter de
Hooch lived. In fact, there were
= a great many of him; for nearly
every town in Holland has a large
assortment. One of these was Won
derful Pieter de Hooch. as is proved
by the $50 paintings now in existence.
In 1876 the Berlin Museum paid $685.
900 for one of his paintings. Probably
if anyone had offered a quarter of
that sum for all of Pieter de Hooch's
work and for Pieter himself during
his lifetime, the would-be purchaser
would have been locked up as a
dangerous lunatic.

suiting the Word to Action.

A Sunday school teacher told her
pupils that when they put their PEN
MES into the contribution box she
wanted each one to repeat Bible
verse suitable for. the occasion.
The first boy dropped in his cent,
saying, 1.-THE Lord loveth a cheerful
giver"
The next boy dropped his penny
into the box, saying. HE that giyeth
to the poor lendeth to the Lord"
The third and youngest boy dropped
in his penny, saying, "a fool and his
money are soon parted"

asked to preach before the students
of Wellesley College. His embarrass-

Sunday morning and found himself

grace and hastily delivered the fol-

Censorship I'm Disfavor.

Senator Luke Lea's definition of a
lobbyist as "a person opposed to the
legislation you favor" expresses
what is in the mind Of most men
about the lobby. There is not much
real sentiment in favor of the drastic
regulation laws proposed. Not many
people are taking them seriously.
Nor is there likelihood that Congress
will consider seriously the half
baked propositions for increasing the
censorship over the mails and news
papers by forbidding the publication
of matter intended to influence legis-
lation.

II the crow population can be kept
down so that It's normal food is SUI
ncient, there is every reason why
the farmers should encourage the
bird to remain about their farms.
Not long ago an agent OF the de
partment was watching crow feed
ing in a corn field. 1t seemed that
the bird was pulling the young corn
and carrying It to a nearby nest to
feed its young. After the crow had
left the nest the agent climbed the
tree and serured the young birds. All
examination showed that instead OF
young corn, the older bird had been
feeding the young ones with cut
worms gathered from around the
corn plants.
Grows are VIGOROUSLY clannish
birds, and, except during few
weeks at nesting time, are usually
gregarious, Tor, although two nests
are seldom built in the same tree,
yet a hall dozen pairs often build
within easy hearing distance of each
other, and if one is disturbed, all
are likely to unite for common pro-
lection or protest.
When the young are able to fly
the parents accompany them, form
ing little family parties of six or
eight, and these soon associate with
similar parties. They commonly
travel in focks and often congregate
in large numbers, but only during
winter do they unite to roost in i'm
mense communities. Many roosts
are known where not less than
100 600 crows spend the night during
this season of the year, and most
of these roostlng places have been
used year after year.
