Interest In Art.

WASHINGTON, May Is. More
general attendance at art museums
and the best way to increase the In
terest OF the general public in all
forms of art was the important sub
ject discussed today at the opening
session of the fourth annual conven-
ton Of the American Federation of
Arts. The foremost authorities on
art in the United States were In at
tendance and made addresses. One
point which was strongly urged and
which is thought will exert a great In
ed by those in charge of the coun-
try's art museums was the establish.
ment Of more business like system
in such institutions which will awak-
en- public interest. One revolutionary
suggestion was that all museums en-
ploy the same sort of press agent"
as is employed by theatres. Today's
session opened with an address by
Robert w. DeForest. of New York,
president CT the federation.
President and Mrs. Wilson were to
be honor guests at reception in the
Corcoran art gallery this evening.
Both the president and Mrs. Wilson
have taken an active interest in the
work of the federation which will be
their guests at white house garden
party tomorrow Industrial art is the
topic to be discussed tomorrow.

This water comes from a we'll three

Interior Of Building,
Returning to the house, the party at
once proceeded to an inspection Of
the interior of the building. There
was no hurry; it was done leisurely,
some member of the party stopping
occasionally in quiet, social conversa-
ton with one or more of the inmates.
The apartments were remarkably
clean and homelike for an institution
SO large and with such a mixture of
inmates, including a number of the
unfortunate insane, and considering
also that there are one hundred and
ten rooms to be kept in this home
| like order with a comparatively small
force to perform the necessary labor.
The building is of brick, is no
ticeable structure about one hundred
and forty feet lcng and about forty
feet in width. 1t is thought that
more inmates could be cared for with
ia little reconstruction of the building
by tearing out the partitions between
some of the sleeping rooms and maxi
ing them into a larger dornitory,
which matter seems to be under ad-
visement.
Then the subject is talked about, of
4 the county purchasing additional land
to be Incorporated into the farm.
There are now about two hundred and
forty acres in the farm Some of the
land has been sold in the past and
additional acres bought and added
and has left the farm in somewhat
ragged shape. 1t is thought it would

Tariff on Bananas

The New York Times is siren
uously opposing the proposed
tariff on bananas and closes a
lengthy editorial in the follow
ing suggestive language
Whether or not bananas are
a "basic" article of food de-
ponds upon definitions and
classitications. In any case.
people who count their pennies
do not live on basic articles of
food alone. They are entitled
TO their little Injuries exactly
because they are poor and their
luxuries are few. Consistency
regarding the taxation of foods
basic or otherwise, is not a viz
tue Of tariff makers. but the
argument for free foods applies
to bananas as we'll as to others.
1t is not the less a food because
it is toothsome and sweet. The
fact that the tax will bother the
trust some, but less than its
competitors, is poor recompense
for the burden placed on the
poor mans fruit. Nor will the
gain by the tax be without OIL
sets. If we buy fewer bananas
because Of the tax we shall sell
less goods to those who now
spend the banana money here.
The sellers of flour and Yankee
notions in general will suffer as
well as the banana eaters. The
tax will not stay on if it is put
on, and those who put it on will
be sorry when the results are
seen.
