AN EARLY PAINTER

Sir James ThornhiH, sometimes called the father of British paint ing" died 1S2 years ago today, May 4, 1734. His residence and studio in the Soho district of London now given over to cheap restaurants and tenements and noted as a resort of anarchists, still stands, and was sold a few years ago. Thronhill's art was usually applied to ceilings, walls and corridors. Among his more famous works were the eight pictures illus trating the life of St. Paul, painted on the interior of the cupoIa of St. PauPs CathedraI; the ceiling of the great hall at Greenwich Hospital, and several ceilings and chambers at Ken sington Palace and at Hampton Court For such work he was paid by the square yard, like the work of a p1asterer, and he received only for ty shiIIings a. square yard for the cu- po1a of St. PauFs. He received about the same price for the ceiling at Greenwich Hospital, and he was so long lying on his back doing that work that he could never afterwards sit up with comfort. Sir James only daughter, Jane, eloped with Hogarth Queen Anne sat to. ThornhilI for her portrait.

White SOx Go South
For Spring Training
(By United Press

Chicago, Mar. ll.-A De Luxe special
fitted up with monographs, poker ta-
bles, entertainers ami numerous other
comforts and nuisances of the home,
will roll out Of the yards tomorrow for
Mineral Springs, Texas, with little
old last years bali team aboard.
The passengers will be Charley Com
iskey's White Sox, bound for Marlin to
work off Charley horses, spawned arms,

We had 4 real team late last
season. We've still got it. Boys, we
are going ont to win the pennant.
They re the hitting marvels, not the
hitless wonders.
Comiskey felt so good about it that
he fitted up the training special like
a combination ladies' boudor and a
first class he-elubroom. Mrs. Comiskey
and several of the players wifes are
going along.
As the S0x lined up to count noses
today nearly every face was a familiar
one to Chicago fans Comiskey and
his manager, Clarence Rowland, have
passed up the Fed outcasts entirely.
The lineup, said Rowland, will be prac-
tieally the same as in 1915.
Release Of Johns to the Columbus A.
A. and Blackburne to the Toronto in.
ternational club leaves a hole at third
for which MeMullen or Morariety will
have to fight, unless Comiskey annexes
a star third from another team.

Why Banks Must Lower
Interest on Savings Accounts


T1e Portland bankers will lower the
rate of interest on time savings from
four to three per cent. This action will
in all probability be followed by one of
a similar nature by the banks through
out the state. The banks cannot be
censured for taking such a step, They
have been paying four per cent interest
on money tnat to a great extent has
been lying in the vaults. On account
of conditions they cannot enter too
largely into placing this in borrowers
hands. At any mment tnere may come
moment of speculation, especially in
land, when depOsitOrs will withdraw
funds without notice, not being in the
saving department and this will deplete
for the time being the volume of money
some of which may 60 east. Then the
bankers never know from day to day
how much money will be called upon to
| furnish New York or to provide on call
brought about by the European war. The
close of this war may also mean the
sending Of considerable money by de-
positors to Europe, many of whom are
waiting to speculate or invest in Europ-
can countries during the days of recon
struction following the great and de-
lvastating conflict. These and many
more are the reasons why bankers have
TO be conservative, cannot loan as they
and prospective borrowers wish, and
why they have so much money lying
idle, consequently would not be pursu-

paving more than three per cent in
