piece is possibly the richer of the two
achievements. but the still hfe gives
more direct account Of the progress
this painter has recently made. II IS
n execution so simple and yet so
subtle. or perhaps we should say that
the technical power shown in the work
is 50 saturated in personal quality.
Mr.. IIassam reaches his high water
mark in these pictures, paintings with
A new largeness. new sense OF beauty.
There are lovely things Of an earlier
date here. the "Cloud Reflections,
Gloucester" and the Capri" both done
in the late COS, and from 1912 we have
q superb flower piece, the Rose Haw-
thorne." which has mellowed with the
passage Of time and is particularly en-
gaging i'm the suavity of its tones. In
the large group of water colors, col
lected from different periods, there are,
too, many sparkling and delightful
notes But our chief impression Is or
the notable advance made in Mr.. Has
sans latest work, the deeper authority
he shows, the finer and more alluring
beauty. Included among the paintings
of 1914 is a capital portrait OF himself.
Il comes at an appropriate moment, m
a year memorable in the development
Of his art.
The management at the Braus gal
lery has had an excellent idea, result
ing in one Of the best shows of the
early winter. Twenty American art
lists were asked to contribute two pict-
ures each, all Of them to be done within
the same modest dimensions. Jonas
Lie John F. Carlson, Bruce Crane,
William S. Robinson. Arthur Hoeber.
Albert l.. Groll, George Bellows, Charles
VI. Dewey and others entered with
gusto into the scheme. They painted
in some cases sketches rather than pict-
ures, in the usual sense of the term.
but mostly these little canvases have
the same qualities which the artists
disclose in their more ambitious works.
Landscape predomnates. Everywhere
on the walls we have those fresh, clever
vigncttcs of the American countryside
which remain the most CHARACTERISTIC
souvenirs of the American school OF
painting. There are no star" pictures
in the show. but there are no banallties.
The collection has an altogether charm-
ing vitality.

Word Labels.

We are all in greater or less de-
gree the slaves of words, judging OF
an action by the name we give it or
hear given it by others. This tyranny
of words was well illustrated by re.
mark made by a woman of at least
average intellect: THAT sounds very
reasonable. But are you not now
preaching free trade? Because if you
are, entirely disagree with what you
say" She had been willing to swal-
low the doctrine, but the label stuck
in her throat. The hours we spend in
uncongenial society, in pursuits which
cannot by any possibility be of use to
anyone in doing things we take no
interest in, in reading books which
need never have been written, in writ
ing articles which need never be read
all these added together would
amount to years in the course of life
time, and yet we submit, smilingly, un.
complainingly because we find all
these things labeled pleasure" and
we ought to take little relaxation"

ALWAYS JOY IN GOOD WORK
Pleasure in Doing, No Matter What
the Task, Lifts 1t From the
Thought OF Drudgery.

One of the changes which must be
gradually introduced into industry if
we are to prepare the way for fresh
outburst of human spirit In 1t Is to
Increase the element of pleasure, re-
marks the Engineering Magazine.
There are parts of industry which
are now Fascinating to the workers.
Western America glows with the en-
thusiasm of the conquest of nature
by the mind Many engineering con-
ceptions, many smoothly interlocking
systems of administration and many
conserving plans of financing, have
been accompanied in the doing with
thrills of delight, which have bound
the performers like lovers to their
tasks.
Good work and Joyous work are, in
the long run, the same. Wherever in
industry good things have been done
wherever achievements have been
characterized by vigOr and largeness
of plan, simplicity and directness OF
method and nervous beauty and fin
ish of detail-we may be sure that we
have to do with work which has per
mitted the performer to experience
Joy, freedom and an exulting sense of
strength, while it was being accom-
plished. And, contrariwise, when we
find the worker intelligent and joyous
we may expect superior results, for
then the psychological conditions are
right.
Pleasure in work produces a sympa-
thetic, teachable mental attitude to-
ward the task. It makes the atten-
tion involuntary and eases the strain
of attending. 1t stops the nervous
leaks of worry. One of the secrets
of lasting well is to avoid getting
stale and tired and in a mental rut.
Pleasure gives a sense of freedom
that Is a rest, as a wide road rests
the driver To know a thing thor
oughly and attain mastership in it
one must be drawn back to it repeat
edly by its attractions, and must find
ones powers evoked and trained by
its inspiration.

Always at Freezing Point.

In the greatest depths of the ocean
the temperature is little above freez-
ing. no matter what it may be at the
surface. When the dragnets which are
used in the work are brought to the
surface containing specimens of ami
mails and fish inhabiting the deep,
most of the creatures are dead. In
fact, all those from the deeper points
are killed by removing them from
waters of great hydrostatic pressure
to continuously decreasing pressures.
