his keepers. It was decided that he must
be executed. A great hawser was run
round his neck and attached to the DON

of the leopards put out a paw and seized
a carrot which the elephant calf was

G UMMER schools Of art have become
~ within the past few years quite a fac
tor in determining summer plans. Proba-
bly, the first and most prominent Of these
was the school established by William NJ
Chase at Shinnecock Hills. L. l. This
was a great resort twenty years ago for
art students and the instruction given
therein has strongly Influenced the art Of
today. Mr.. Chase still gives his summers
to teaching. OF late it has been his Gus
tom to take his classes abroad. to Hol-
land, France and Italy. Last summer he
was at Venice. This summer he has gone
to the Pacific coast and will hold his class
in the little town of Carmel-by-the-Sea-
Likewise in California, Frank Bran
gWyn, the distinguished English illus
traitor and decorator. will conduct classes
for this single season. having been drawn
to the Pacific coast by work for the ap-
preaching exposition. Henry B. Smell and
Alexander Robinson both have classes
in Europe. At home and within compare

Hawthorne, at Provincetown. Mass. both
with large followings. Mr.. Woodbury.
instructs chiefly in landscape and out
door painting Of nature Mr.. Hawthorne,
on the other hand. lays chief emphasis on
the painting Of figures in full sunlight
giving no indoor instruction.

as the Darby School, at Fort Washington,

he does not openly proclaim himself

he considers he Is in the race for the

have been his best. and Leach believes
he can more than hold his own with

AMERICAN SILK TRADE.

New York. Sept. 3.-The American
silk trade, menaced from the moment
the war in Europe begun, is believed
to be In worse plight since Japan
entered the conflict and probably will
be further handicapped should Italy
get into the war game. Practically
all the raw silk used by American
manufacturers comes from Italy,
China and Japan. Even should the
manufacturers be able to secure the
raw material they would find difficul-
ty in continuing business because Of
the lack of dyes. which come from
Germany. The dyestufr problem is at
present the most pressing. For more
than year the American silk manu-
facture has been the most prosperous
OF all the textile Industries in this
country, and recently 1t has been op-
Grating about SIS per cent Of normal.
