French master like Galland shaking his
head sadly over Miss Oakley's idea of
decorative design, but smiling with
good will over the movement she has
put into her figures. over the poignancy
Of her whole drift. She knows what
she is about. She has certain in
tcrcsting incidents TO set forth and she
triumphantly realizes them. adding the
merits Of fluent drawing. of good color.
Her work has atmosphere. IL lifts
itself, thereby, head and shoulders
above the work of certain painters who
have ten times her command over dec
Orativc convention.
There are other items TO repay at
tcntion in this wing of the exhibition,
notably Mr. Chambers handsome Deep
Sea Screen and the attractive plan for
the walls of the Washington Irving
High School auditorium devised by Mr..
Ryland. There are also some big can
vases. Mr.. Stanley Arthur's histori
cal composition for the Delaware State
Capitol and Mr.. Longs painting OF New
York. which have a certain interest.
But we must turn TO the remaining sub
iect Of importance in the show, the ex
hibt made by the American Academy at
Rome. II supplies valuable evidence of
the usefulness Of that institution. Mr..
John Gregory's sculptures, Mr.. Eugene
Savage's mural decorations and studies
from famous wall paintings in Siena
and Rome. and the architectural envois
of Mr.. Kenneth Carpenter and Mr.. John
Scarf are uniformly significant OF the
academy's great principle. They are
touched by the spirit of Rome. They
have quality which could have been
developed nowhere else and which
points to serious achievements in tech
nique and taste.

BLUEJAY HAS MANY FAULTS
Garrulous Bird Is Charged With Long
Series of Crimes, but Never
Called a Coward.

The bluejay is again asserting
himself with all his audacity and
raucous turbulence. What a bold
and independent fellow he is, asking
no favors, brusque and self-suficient,
a swashbucNer, and a robber! Yet
what a. trim and handsome bit of
feathers and how graceful in his ev-
cry movement
The bluejay is about twelve inches
long, and every inch an American.
His plumage is light purplish blue
above and grayish below; the collar
and frontlet are black and the wings
and tail ultramarine barred, the
outer tail feathers tipped with white.
He is called the "garrulous" jay,
a designation that belongs first to
the European jay, which is not at
all like the American bird. Our
jay breeds from Newfoundland to
Florida, and often remains in the
North through the winter. The jay
is accused of many bad qualities, but
never of cowardice. He is as full of
mischief as the proverbial magpie, he
robs the farmers corn crib, he MUIR
ders young birds in the nest, he sucks
the eggs of other birds. He has con-
siderable initiative power, and by i'm
itating the cry of hawk will fright
en- other birds and send them to
cover. He is classed in the crow
family, and bears the scientific name
of Cyanocitta cristata. The first
name is Greek for bluejay and cris-
tata Latin for crested.

Infantile Paralysis.

Our recent editorial on the infan-
tile paralysis fake m et with h c
most encouraging reception of any
thing that w eT'5 have. ever written,
even the lying /. health boards that
maintained guarantees, tryi G to
smile their way out of their illegal
acts.
For downright stealing the main
tainance of a quarantine for infan-
tile paralysis was about the most eff
fective, and we cannot see an iota
of difference between that and any
other form of highway robbery, ex-
cepting that the Jessie James kind
was more refined and nearer within
the law.
Physicians all over this section of
of the country have assured us that
the disease, when it really exists, is
not contagious, and we have dozens
of reports showing that the physic-
ians and health authorities deliber-
ately and wilfully lied in diagnosing
certain cases as paralysis, either in
fantile or otherwise.
The people are beginning to wake
up, and it will not be long be-
fore people having the infantile par
alysis craze will not be allowed to
run around loose, and health boards
who attempt to institute criminal
quarantine will get the prison stripes
which they so richly deserve. Vic
ious lawlessness is no more permits
sible in board of health than in a
private individual.

Secretary of Interior Strongly
COmmends River Regulation
URGES ACTION BY NATION

Secretary of the Interior Franklin
K Lane is a firm believer in the
necessity and desirability of the fed
eral government undertaking the task
of flood prevention in the United
States. He declares in his latest
annual report that this is problem
which Congress should supervise and
provide part of the funds for, the
balance to come from the state and
local communities affected. Secre-
tary Lane said:
mo man can survey the physical
condition of the United States with
out being impressed and almost over
whelmed with the magnitude of the
work that must be done in keeping
our rivers within bounds and putting
them to use. 1t is the largest task
that the Government must undertake
sooner or later, and the sooner in my
Judgment the better.
mo one can take the yearly toll
of lives lost and of property de-
stroyed by the furious and unre-
strained sweep of our rivers without
realizing that the people of this
country can not regard themselves
as owning this land, really possess
ing it, until they have brought these
waters under subsection. And in do
ing this they will literally create new
land by the millions of acres, lands
that viii support millions of people
as against the thousands which live
upon it today.
"How these great works can be
carried on calls for constructive
thought, not merely on the engineer
ing side but more Immediately upon
the financial side as to those ways
and means by which the lands re-
claimed shall be made to bear in
some degree the burden of the ex-
pense. AS to the funds which will
be needed, they mount into such fig
ures as to be staggering. And l can
see no hope that this work will be
adequately undertaken without the
Government: advancing its credit and
investing directly some of its own
funds. We are conducting this Gov
eminent from day to day out of cur
rent revenues. Only the richest Of
people could pursue such a policy.
No private enterprise attempts it.
No railroad system has been built
that way. But few of the states now
construct their highway systems out
of the years revenues. The per.
manent improvements which the
whole people undertake are legiti.
mate charge against capital account,
not against maintenance"
