terday suffered another defeat in the
city council meeting, when he en-
deavored to put through resolution
for the purchase of two second
hand automobiles to be used as po-
lice patrols.
Bids were advertised for, calling
for proposals on new or used cars.

year-old cars on bid of $6,l44 and
offered his resolution accordingly,
but the council refused to sustain
him on this proposition, as ii has
refused to sustain him on several
recent occasions.
Commissioner Zimman called the
attention Of the council to one OF
the other bids which was forf$6,5 $50
on two new automobiles, and he
raised the question of why the city
should buy two three-year-old cars
when two new ones could be pur-
chased for $l92 more.
Mr.. Ringer defended his position
by stating that the used cars he
proposed to- buy were of much
greater power.
The council decided to hold a
special meeting Friday morning
when the bidders will be asked to
appear and explain their PROPOSE

WONDERFUL Art
IN PAINTING OF
CLOUDS BY DAVIS
Vast Depth and Breadth Of
Sky Portrayed In Manner
Never Achieved by
Others.
By LETA MOORE MEYER.

At the fine arts exhibition at the
Hotel Fontenelle, MONDAY
Clouds" by Charles II, Davis, the
greatest painter of clouds who ever
lived, is as good as any Of his work.
Every thoughtful person must at
times look at the sky and wonder at
its vast depth, breadth and uniform
ity, and that anything SO empty
could contain so much; at the clouds
and their soft lightness for which no
enc has ever found better word
than "heecy,' at their size and in
finite variety and swift movement,
and also very often at their useless
ness except as beauty, and how
often they seem like waste, OF pow
err and misdirected effort like many
lives we know.
All these things are in this picture
and much else. The sky goes back
and the space between it and the
clouds is felt, which is one of the
most difficult things every land
scape painter works for. The move
ment is there and the inanity. Every
painter knows what maddening
thing it is 70 make white look white.
More white paint won't do it. A
profound knowledge of the relation
and juxtaposition of color, values,
design, composition, size of the
parts, relation of things as they go
bacl, into the canvas, the tremen-
dously important matter Of edges
and an endless number of princi-
pies, enough to fill valume, are
necessary to make white paint look
merely white. And then to make
really white paint look like real
clouds requires more vast knoWl-
edge.
It is one of the battling problems
which the greatest master has never
been able to solve, that i'll order to
gain one thing. another must be
sacrificed. Davis here has used the
principle Of chiaroscuro which was
first used by Rembrandt. Only
the Dutch master used it as mat
ter of light, while Davis has used it
in composition. Marvelously as he
has painted the ground, showing
the parts of the landscape so dehn-
itely and still holding the mass to-
gether perfectly and keeping it
subordinate to the sky, which is
