Elizabeth Curtis Paintings
of Women Show Keen
Sense of Color Values

Elizabeth Curtis, now exhibiting at
the Arlington Galleries, paints with .
broad and facile brush. Her portraits
Of young women in gorgeous array and
disarray are we'll arranged and show
keen sense of color values. "The
Old Red Dress" with its dark-haired
wearer, is brilliantly painted against
tapestry background
Another canvas shows a fair beauty
in reclining position, the flesh tones
Of her semi-nude body contrasting
with the brilliancy Of color in tho
embroidery she wears. Strangely In
congruous among these sumptuously
attired ladies is the portrait Of plain
little lady in black seated against =
dark curtain; without color Or attempt
at design the result is vital and al
most Cezanesque in its simplicity.
Miss Curtis is less happy in her por-
trayals Of soldiers and sailors. An
Indian silhouetted against blue noun
tains and sky, entitled Last STAR"
shows again the artists appreciation
of color The exhibition will close
May 8, and the proceeds from the sale
of paintings are for the benefit Of the
Red Cross

Paris Salon Opens
After Four Years
Works of Many Americans Are
Highly Praised by Critics

PARIS, May 1.-The Paris Salon, the
first since 1914, has been opened with
an exhibition which the critics speak
of as remarkably fine under the cir
cumstances. 1t is being held in the
Petit Palais, in the Champs Elys@es,
instead of in the Grand Palais, as be-
fore the war. The Grand Palais is
being used as hospital.
Although the number Of exhibits is
necessarily smaller, the quality COM
pares favorably with preceding salons,
including some canvases regarded by
critics as of great Importance for the
art Of the future. The paintings Of
the younger artists nearly all reflect
some aspect of the war. Most of them
were executed at the front.
Among the American artists repre-
sented are Ridgway knight, Walter
Gay, Elizabeth Nourse, Julius l..
Stewart and M. T. Donnat. Mr.. knights
picture, called "September, 1914, After
the Battle of the Marne," is regarded
as his masterpiece. 1t represents
peasant family after the battle.
Americans are represented in sculpt-
ure also by piece by Clyde Duvernet
Hunt. 1t is life-sized nude, which is
attracting particular attention.

Will Not Interfere
With CottonExchanges

WASHINGTON, May 1.-Assurance
that Congress has no intention of in
terfering with the cotton exchanges of
the country if they conduct their bust
ness legitimately is given by Senator
Smith, of South Carolina, chairman of
the Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, in letter to President George
Shut of the New York Cotton Ex
change, made public tonight In reply
to query from Mr.. Smith asking if
Congress planned to take any step to
regulate exchanges, the Senator wrote:
"There is no intention or desire to
interfere with the cotton exchanges as
long as their operations are confined
to rejecting the actual and legitimate
relation Of prices toward the actual
cotton handled. They are regarded as
very vital and necessary instruments in
cotton trading so long as they observe
this rule, but when they become simply
gambling resort, when prices fluctu-
ate violently from day to day, reflect
ing nothing but rank gambling, without
regard either to the intrinsic value of
the commodity they cease to
be any benefit whatever and become a
dangerous menace to commerce.

Cointesse de Candal,

The revival of "a Marriage Of Con-
venlence" at the Henry Miller Theatre
has some of the elements of novelty.
This time it is the legs of the male
members OF the company which we see.
fortunately there are gentlemen in
the cast who can wear knee breeches
oecomingy, flourish lace handker
chie1 and take snuff. The piece is a
peasant but exceedingly mild masquer-
aoe. The enjoyment of the spectator
depends largely on his mood. The plav
should follow burgundy or port and it
must be good burgundy. The play was
seen here last about twenty years ago.
Several Of the frstnighters admitted
that they were present at the ORIGINAL
production. They were under the i'm
preston that John Drew and Isabel
irving played the parts taken last night
by Henry Miller and Billie Burke
Il tnd," said one oy the veterans
'hat don't remember much about it,"
lhls may have been due to the fact
that there isn't much to remember.
The play is we'll hammered, impeccable
IN construction and artificial to the
iast degree. 1t dates from the good
ola days when the theatre was rather
more OF toy than in the fourishinp
uramatic age in which we live. We

Inc play seeks to prove that silk NAV
Oe quite as virtuous as red flannel, and,
OF course, everybody knows that it is
more comfortable.
Henry Miller played the Compte de
Candale with distinction and grace.
MISS Billie Burke was surprisingly
good as the countess. Being under no
particular obligation to be natural she
proved to be much less artificial than
usual: der costumes were beautiful
and she we'll became them. Lowell Sher-
man, wac played the Chevalier. lacked
something ct the grand manner now
and again. We don't think he has quite
forgotten the fact that he was NOV
ing picture director in his last play.
These lapses were occasional. Once or
twice he shot speeches out from the
side of his mouth or thereabouts, but

Lucille Watson and Frank Kemble
Cooper played in their usual authorita
tive and capable manner.

nrTROIT, May 1.-THE policy that
-. prepared Henry Ford for war, the
,olicy that gives him peace and order
!, his factories, keeps the labor turn
.v., to a minimum and fills his het-
,rogsneous forces with an ambition to
..h;eye while labor turmoil and dis

"a he described from his point of view
:. fraternalistic rather than pater-

The distinction is not easy to make,
hu, the head of the educational depart
n.nt. which is the designation of the
omee that strives to deal with the en-
,,oves as human beings rather than as
mare parts of a productive machine,
puts it this way:
4The paternalistc scheme for the
.a;ustment of relations between en-
nloyers and employees is usually some
form of spending money on the en-
,,oyes. The Ford fraternalistic scheme
is to spend profits through employees"
Ford feels that men who give their
lives to the creation Of profitable
husiness are entitled to share in the
profits, the same as men who give
their capital to it. Some benevolent
employers seek to help their people by
huildine clubhouses and planning hous-
iug schemes. Ford holds that it is
wiser to give the profits directly to
the men in the form of cash. Men
seem to resent having things done for
them. If there is uplifting to be done
thew prefer to do the uplifting them
selves. That is the reason some social
engineering schemes that do great
credit to the menpwho conceive them
come to grief. So Ford turns enor-

Advises and Sugga.ts
Az to improvements

Through his educational department
he advises and suggests how improve
ment can be made. Sometimes the work
OF this department even involves the
sanitary improvement and general
physical betterment of whole section
of the city, but through the regular
civic channels. For instance, it was
found that the sewerage and drainage
of district in which many Ford en-
ployes lived was defective. The educa-
tional department took the initiative
and started the regular municipal ma
chinery going to bring about the de-
sired improvement. The Ford men
were shown how to obtain the enjoy
ment of their rights as citizens and
taxpayers.
Sc. in the intimate matters of house
hold cleanliness and order, personal
habits end standards of living the idea
is to suggest better things and arouse
an inspiration for them. Here is an
illustration. A family enjoying a. good
I income from Ford wages and profits
may be living in sQualor and disorder
from force of habit and lack of knowl-
edge. An agent of the educational de-
partnent calls and shows the house
wife photographs of interiors of the
homes OF people who have no larger
income. Suggestions are tactfully given
as to what to buy and what to do to
make her home as neat and cheerful
from ignorance or excessive economy
the children may be poorly dressed and
lll-fed. The Investigator considerably
explains what this neglect may mean to
the children. He appeals to the moth
erly instinct and suggests how to take
better care of the children.
Survey of Company's
Whole Personnel
The doing of such work involves
survey of the whole personnel of the
company and necessitates a rather in
innate investigation of the affairs of
each employe. Probably there Is a nat
ural tendency to resent this domestic
probing. 10 those who object to Civ
ing the required information the whole
Ford theory of relations between the
company and its employees is patiently
explained. They are receiving profits
ana IN return are expected to give the
best in them to the company. Not only
that, but the company desires to helm
them to give their best. To do that at
it must know how matters stand. on
the other hand, the men are given to
understand that they have the right
to know how the company is manar-
ing it's affairs. Now, when you make
talk like. that to your men and are
backing 1t up with S16,000,O00 of dis
trlouted prohts year you appear to
be rather reas enable sort of being.
The Ford personnel statistics are re-
! plete with intensely interesting facts.

When the pro6t-sharing scheme was
started the average Ford employe bank
rTeposlt was $500; now it is $223.39.
lnen tne average life insurance policy
was $lS6; now it is 1872. The amount
invested in owned homes is three times
contract four times as great. The num-
per OF employees owning homes has
nearly doubled and the number buy
ing them has nearly trebled.
German Employees
Lead in Thrift
Some interesting classifications are
made Iia;as according to nationality. and re-
money in bank and invested in homes
and lots. the Germans lead. Consd-
ering cash savings only, the Armenians
are away in the front. The Americans
are not strong in savings, but lead in
life insurance and in buying homes
and giving mortgages back. The Jews,
strangely enough, are far down the
I,st IN almost every item that indicates
thrift. They save little more cash
Armenians leave them and all the
other races far in the rear. In re-
specct to religion the Mahometans seem
to be the thriftiest, next the Greek
Catholics and then the Roman Cath
o!lcs. 1t is apparent that one reason
why the Americans do not show up
better in savings and homecoming is
that they live better. Out of 16,457
American employees only forty-two
have homes in bad condition and only
SIX Of them live in bad neighborhoods.
About $500 employees own their own
automobiles
So, Ford finds himself with fit and
efficient army, of excellent morale and
trained TO the minute for his part in
fighting the war by industry.
