The art season is not made up OF OK
hibitions and auction sales alone. 1t 10
in the winter more than at any other
time Of the year that the art book
makes its appearance, and during this
month especially many new volumes
are brought out. They are useful
works. The book that is book o.
pictures chiefly is not unknown to-day,
but it makes a serious appeal, being
put together to illustrate some theme
Of present interest. 1t is not intended
to he merely a gift book, but is meant
for the critical student or collector
And. apropos Of these illustrated vol
umes, it is delightful to note what has
been done for them by the development
of reproductive processes, particularly
those which bear upon color printing.
The publishers must look back with
comfortable feelings of relief upon

for the occasion a particularly good

along with them are given reproduc-

were included in the exhibition, perfect

Lovers of Oriental art will rejoice in
this volume and they will share, we

the publication OF similarly excellent
works.

his ardor does not seriously disturb
his judgment. Nowhere else can the
reader find i'm such brief, convenient
compass so luminous an exposition OF
the history and significance of the
Japanese color print. The author
clearly traces its origin and develop
ment. and he is especially suggestive
in his identification of it with customs
and manners. He tells. too, how the
print was made and issued. He is
learned in problems of color and 'other

Dancer in a Dark Kitchen.

No mar has right to expect q
woman to keep a sweet heart and a
cheerful mind and live in house
bare Of comfort and beauty and work
in a dark kitchen. Too many farmers
when building a house never consult
their wives, take no thought OF their
comfort or convenience. and leave the
kitchen the last thing to be consid-.
cred II it Is considered at all. And If
asked to spend money on decorating
the home would actually feel abused!
A woman's life In the country is
often necessarily lonely and she ought
to have the very sunniest, most pleas
ant rooms in the house for her sit
sing-rcom and kitchen. Most farm
wives spend two-thirds of their wax
ing hours in the kitchen. and no mon
ey spent in making this place one OF
convenience and comfort can ever be
wasted.

Tallahassee. May 11.-Dissatisfed
with the report Of the internal i'm

glades, Representative Worley, of Dade.
Will early next week introduce con-
current resolution calling for the ap-
pcintment of q committee Of three
senators and FIVE representatives for a
full investigation into various fea-
lures of the drainage work. Mr.. Wor-
ley states that the report of the trus-
tees was nothing more than has been
published from time to time, and that
for the benefit of the project he wants
many facts to be brought out.
Another prominent Miami man gave
voice to Mr.. Worley's sentiments by
saying: THE people Of Florida will
never properly appreciate the import
ance of drainage and the character Of
Everglades soil until some crooks are
shown up and put out of business
In case the investigating committee
is appointed some highly interesting
facts may be brought to light.

Pittsburg, May DEMONSTRATION of
alleged immortality against s. L. Hee-

schools of Pittsburg now in progress
by a committee of citizens composed
of Bishops, ministers and business
men, took q, new turn today when a
former stenographer in Heeter's en-
ploy made affidavit of undue famil-
farity" which caused her TO quit her
position, she stated. Heeter has
branded her story as another mali
cious lie."
Heeter. charged by a servant in his
home of two serious offenses, was
tried in criminal court and acquitted.
Other charges brought on the pres
ent investigation. The mother of the
superintendent recently died and the
probe was halted. Meanwhile children
remained away from school and thou
sands of them paraded the streets
carrying banners inscribed kick Hee-
ter out"
The committee of citizens appointed
by the board Of education has had

place is indefinite because of the re-
luctance of witnesses to appear before
the body, although assured that their
names and testimony are to be kept

UNDERWOOD BILL
CONDEMNED IN PARIS
Association of Industry and Com

Some of the Administrative Clauses.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Paris, May 1.-THE Underwood
tariff bill, as far as it relates to French
industry, was energetically condemn
ed today at a meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Industry and
Commerce.
Deputy George Gerard expressed
his objection to the bills adninistra
tive clauses, which instead of reliev
ing the great hindrances which he
declared existed in trading in the
United States, increased them arbitra-
rily. When Mr.. Underwood and his
friends say they are only applicable
to professional defrauders," said Ger
aid, this affirmation is not sufficient
for French exporters, who already
know too much about the administra-
ton of the American tariff.
The world has seen how the United
States by its Panama canal act has
violated the Hay Pauncefote treaty
and how the state of California has
violated the United States treaty with
Japan" said Deputy Gerald. THE
projected tariff, which seems intended
to subsidize American shipping, VIC
lates twenty treaties, yet l still hope
that France and the United States
will be able to arrange a practical
agreement"
NJ. Lebon, former commerce minis
ter regretted that the United States,
although processing the desire to live
on good terms with all the world does
not give any practical proofs of this to
France"
Former Foreign Minister Hanotaux
and Former Commerce Minister de-
Lombre, were at the meeting.

Manufacturers

Washington, May 17.-More time will
be granted the protesting manufacture
ers than at first intended by the sub
committees of the finance committee
considering the Underwood tariff bill,
according to the announcement OF
Chairman Simmons today. Another
interesting development was the deter
mination of Senator Smith Of Georgia,
to have private hearings on the cotton
and chemical schedules conducted by
him and reported by a senate stenogra-
rher. He also reiterated the statement
that newspaper men could attend the
private hearings.
The republicans claim these liberal
izing features are the result of the
recent debate denouncing secret con-
sidera ton.
Democrats of the finance committee
have decided they will propose no
changes in the free wool or sugar
schedules. The democrats opposed to
the present schedules must carry the
fight to the party caucus.
