NEWS AND NOTES OF ART AND ARTISTS

AT the conclusion of the business ses-
sion adjournment was made to Mrs. Saw
telle's studio, at the end of which large
frame had been placed in position as a
setting for the living pictures which fol-
lowed.
Madam lie Bruins portrait of herself
and her little daughter was effectively
given, as were other famous pictures by
Whistler. Rembrandt and other masters.
These were all impromptu. but very ef-
applause. The last on the program was

merriment. The guest of the evening
was Mr.. Zolnay. the sculptor, of st.
Louis. who has recently taken a studio
here. The society will hold its annual
exhibition at the usual time in the spring.

MISS BERTHA E. PERRIE, secretary
AvA of the Water Color CLUB. has been
doing quite little painting in oils lately
with excellent result. Last summer she
worked almost exclusively in this me-
dium, and she has brought back with her
from Europe some delightful studies of
street scenes, boats and figures, which
have spontaneity and strength, as well as
convincing sincerity. Quite lately, in her
studio with her pupils, she made a
charming little study of still life-spark-
ling in color, fresh and good in tone.
Miss Perrie spent the holidays in Phila-
delphia and New York visiting the prin-
cipal exhibitions in those cities.
MISS BERTHA MOVES and Miss Le-
AvA titia Maxwell have opened studio
at 1917 H street. Miss Noyes spent last
summer and the summer before at Prov
incetown, Mass, studying under Charles
W. Hawthorne, and she has brought
back with her numerous studies and
paintings Of Provincetown and vicinity
which are delightfully."- sunny and exceed
ingly virile. Miss Maxwell is a figure
painter, and has done some work that
is exceedingly promising and significant.

COMMERCIALIZED PROSTITUTION
IN NEW YORK CITY. BY George j.
Kneeland. New York: The Century
COMPANY,

IN NEW YORK CITY. By George ].
Kneeland. New York: The Century
Company.
In 1910 the white slave traffic of New
York city was investigated by a special
grand jury. The bureau OF social hygiene
is an outcome Of that investigation. This
bureau is a self-constituted body, inde-
pendent and permanent in the sense that
it is not disturbed in it's personnel by
political changes. 1t is devoted solely
to the study of the various forms which
commercialized vice has assumed in New
York city. the methods by which this is
carried on, and the whole web of rela-
tions that it has woven and interviewer
beneath the surface of society. The OBJ
ject of this study is to furnish an ac-
curate, dispassionate, comprehensive body
of facts relating to this subject as
rational foundation for subsequent cor
rective and preventive measures against
the institution of commercialized vice.
The members Of this bureau are, on the
one hand, trained investigators of expe-
rience, comprehension and personality.
On the other hand, they are men Of sub
stance and public spirit, to act as sup
porters and advisers Of the work in its
various directions and aims. Out of
its investigations the bureau has pro-
jected four publications. The book in
hand is the first of these. Following
this one there will be study of Pros
titution in Europe" one on the "Eu-
ropean Police Systems and a final

the Society of Men Who Paint
the Far West, which opened
Monday in the hemicycle hall
of the Corcoran Gallery of Art
| has proved even more notable than was
anticipated Each work in the exhibition
| is a distinct achievement and merits
serious consideration. There are twenty
seven canvases in all, by eleven painters,
and they fill the hemicycle hall agree
ably. The themes treated are in them
selves so big that they seem to demand
spacious exhibition, and the proportions
of this great hall seem for the once not
too great.
The largest canvas-in fact the only
very large canvas-in the exhibition Is
by Gardner Symons, and is of the Grand
Canyon, Hermit Rim A vast panorama
is stretched out before the observer. In
the foreground is a great plateau on
which giant tree grows and what
would seem to be pigmy man is stand
ing. The man is normal size. and gives
scale to the picture. To the right rises
great rocky promontory, beyond Is the
gulch of the Grand Canyon IN all its
grandeur and dazzling color. The sight
ia stupendous, and one finds Mr.. Symons'
transcription convincingly sincere. The
mere size Of the canvas. however, does
not signify. Equally as impressive are
works covering less space and interpret
ing much the same scene. We say much
the same,' for the fact is that every
painter represented in this exhibition is
individual, and has in his interpretations
been true to his own vision.
Gardner Symons is an exceedingly
frank, direct painter His brushWorh
is broad and strong. his pictures sin
cere and virile- UP to the present time
he has made a speciality of snow pic
lures, or at least pictures of winter
landscape, but he has also painted the
sea with uncommon briiliancy one OF
his best pictures is included in the Per
manent collection of the Corcoran gal
lery, having been purchased some years
ago from one of the biennial eXhibi.
tions. He is represented In other wei
known public collections. Two winters
ago a special exhibition Of Mr.. Symons
nictures was held in the Corcoran gal
iery: another such exhibition Is now De.
ing shown in the leading art museums OF
the middle west Mr.. Symons was born
in Chicago and studied first at the Ar
Institute in that city, later in Paris
Munich and London. No less than eight
of his paintings were purchased lately
from a single exhibition held in Kansas
City.
There is a certain similarity in feehns
! at least between the work OF Gardnel
Symons and that of Ben Foster. Mr
Foster was born in Maine and has paint
ed chiefly New England scenery out

TN an article in the Boston Transcript
headed Paris Discovers a Yankee
Rodin," description is given of a group
of greyhounds In bronze by Hunt Dieder-
ich. formerly of this city, exhibited in the
autumn salon.
Mr.. Diederich is the nephew of Mrs.
Hunt Slater and a grandson of William
Morris Hunt. the distinguished American
painter to whom. both for his work and
his teaching, American art will owe
large debt of gratitude. The young sculp-
tor began his studies here in the Corcoran
School under Mr.. Messer, but for some
time has been continuing them in Paris.
His group entitled "Levriers" has, ac-
cording to the Transcript, announced the
advent of an American sculptor of the
first caliber.''
Gil Bias, a critical publication of Paris,
In a review of the Salon has the follow
ing to say of Mr.. Diederich's contribution:
Il hasten says the critic, ito give here
the name, perfectly unknown, of an exl
hibitor, Mr.. Diederich, whose work YOU
will find in this vast rotunda, group of
greyhounds in bronze, of a nervousness,
of an elegance of arabesque, of a delicacy
Of feeling, perfectly delightful. This is
one of the most beautiful revelations of
the autumn salon of 1913"
A PAINTING by Howard Helmick sold
"a recently In London. according to spe-
cIal dispatches, for $500. Eight years
ago painting by the same artist sold in
the same city for $500. Mr.. Helmick
was for years resident Of this city In
fact, it was here that he died. Thirty
years of his life. however, were spent
abroad. chiefly in London and Paris The
majority Of his paintings are owned by
English collectors. 1t is understood that
an effort will be made to borrow these
and display them in the several cities of
the United States as a memorial. The
exhibition would be conducted by Mr.
Helmick's former pupils and friends, of
whom there are many.
A N interesting exhibition now being
= held in the Knoedler galleries, New

and each state would be credited with
interest compounded annually at the
rate of 3 per cent per annum on the
sinking funds paid in. On the 1st OF
February of every year each state would
receive from the federal Treasury a sum
of money equal to 2 per cent of the
bonds which it has on deposit under the
provisions of the proposed act. The

no other purpose whatever. under pen

all the states accept the federal pro-
posal, subject to the 20 per cent annual
limitation previously mentioned. This

year semi-annual per cent state bonds,
against which would be sold $500, ,OOo. .O0O
of per cent federal bonds, the proceeds
to be paid to the states. The federal
government would receive from the
states. in semi-annual payments, interest
at the rate Of per cent, or So 600, 600
Out of this it would pay $6.OOOOOO to
those who had bought the per cent fed
eral bonds, leaving a surplus of s., 600, 900
On this surplus the federal government,
would allow per cent annual compound
interest. In less than forty-seven years
this sinking fund would amount to 500,
100000, SO that the federal government
would have the funds to pay off the
bonds it had issued to the public, for
which it held the state bonds as collat-
eral, and at the end of fifty years Of the
date of issuance of the state bonds the
federal government would return the
state bonds marked Cancelled
By depositing their bonds with the fed
eral government as collateral and utiliz-
ing the superior credit Of the federal
government (Which Is 2.37 on an average),
thus getting money at 3 per cent, the
states ultimately would receive $500, 600,
600 cash at 1 per cent cheaper interest
than they themselves could secure in a
public sale Of their own bonds. This
federal government, without any greater
expense to the states than the interest
charge alone If they sold their bonds In
open market, together with the federal
governments per cent annual interest
allowance, would provide the fund with
which the obligation Of the states would
be entirely liquidated at the expiration of
fifty years.
In order to prevent the gradual growth
of great federal political machine
through the use of this large sum OF
money the bill stipulates that all the
money be turned over to the various
state highway commissions Another
safeguard would be the fact that the
chairman Of the post Office and post roads
committees in the Senate and the House.
as members of the federal highway body,
would be in the majority, and they are
elected by the people. If the federal di-
rector of the office of public roads ap-
from any state or states the other two
members of the board always could over
rule him.
A plan such as this would give ouI
country within half q century over z, 900,

than Bourne jr., chairman, Senators
Penrose, Gronna. Swanson and Overman,
Representative Shackleford, vice chair
man. and Representatives Lee, McGilli-
cuddy, Madden and Austin. The secre-
tary is A. w. Preston, with John Shackle-
ford as assistant secretary, j. f. PENNY
hacker, statistician, and Richard b. Nixoh'
disbursing officer. The committee was
appointed in 1912, when Senator Bourne
represented Oregon in the upper mouse.
He was continued as chairman after MS
retirement from the Senate, and April
%, 1918, he submitted to the citizens Oh
the republic, through his committee anu
Congress, his comprehensive plan for the
expenditure of three billions OF dollars
in fifty years for the construction, I'M
provement and maintenance OF good roads
throughout the length and breadth OF
the Union. bill to this effect was
drawn up and probably 1t will be intro
duced into the present Congress.
To begin with, the proposed bill pro-
yides for a United States highway COM

powered to create highway division in
each state and to maintain division Of

slons. AS a further aid to the states the
federal commission would maintain in
the city of Washington school Tor spe-
cial instruction in highway and bridge

trict. The course would be for two
wears, and each student would be al
