Sir Claude Phillips takes a gloomy
view of the present London Salon. Re-
viewing this exhibition in "The Lon
don Daily Telegraph the distinguished
art critic says:
This is the eleventh London Salon
Of the Allied Artists Association. 1t
is still, though the fact is no longer
expressly stated in the catalogue, an
equivalent to the Paris Salon des In
dependants; an exhibition presided
over by no Jupiter-President or frown-
ing Forty, but in theory at any rate
Offering unrestricted hospitality to
those who practice painting or sculpt-
ure, or the so-called industrial arts.
The young modernists who temporarily
make of the Grafton Galleries a
"citta dolente" pass absolutely free
from control or restriction beneath its
portals, imagining themselves 20 be
still brandishing aloft the banner Of
revolt. In these regions, at any rate,
one would be content to admit any ex-
travagance that believed in itself-to
consider, and even up to certain
point to enjoy, the audacities of post
impressionistic or cubistic youth leap
ing over or bursting through bar
riers and rushing onward, whether in
straight or in devious paths.
This year the show is, if not bet
ter, at any rate more self-assertive
than its predecessor-le weak and
watery. Even as it is, however,
it altogether fails to prove the
necessity for its existence. There
is little or nothing in the galleries that
deserves the honor of being strenu-
ously opposed, or withered with bit
ter, contemptuous words. We can but
look on with a weary smile, wondering
whether the valiant Independents or
the amiable, Indifferent public profit
least by this much ado about nothing.
Feeble Echoes of Modernity
1t is passing strange-year by year
we are compelled to say the same thing
that the chief raison d'etre of the So
ciety being to afford liberty for the
unrestricted opening of wings in every
direction, the result should be so small
so insignificant. We are met with no
sinister inventions, with no terrific de-
tiances, but merely with enfcebled

RatiOning of
Sugar Possible

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Ration-
ing Of sugar to manufacturers of
candy, sole drinks and the like soon
is to be suggested by the sugar equal
ization board, House war investi-
eating committee was told today by
Herbert Hoover, former federal food
administrator. This step by the
board, Mr.. Hoover said, resulted from
the fact that raw sugar has risen
beyond the point where it can be
bought advantageously for the house
wife"
Mr.. Hoover appeared before the
committee in Connection with an in
quiry into the sale of 100000
pounds of army sugar to France.
Sugar consumption in the United
States has increased apparently be-
cause the country has gone dry ="
said Mr.. Hoover. The present con-
sumption of SO pounds per capita
year is the greatest in the history of
the country, he said, last years con-
sumption being 70 pounds, the previ-
Gus high consumption "a.
"The shortage is not large" he con-
tnued, "the equalization board has
stated that for November and Deem
Der the supply will be larger than in
past years but the increased consump-
ton leaves a minor shortage. To
meet all demands we will have to get
more than half of the Cuban crop.
Sixteen to twenty million tons of
food more than necessary for Ameri-
can consumption will be the yield
from the years crop. Mr.. Hoover tolu
House investigating committee to-
day. He said the continuing high
retail prices were due largely to the
appalling psychology of the public to
buy expensive things"
Speculation by thousands of people
in anticipation of big demand from
Germany also was blamed by Mr.
Hoover for advancing prices. He said
large stocks were accumulated by the
trade on the assumption that export
trade to Germany would be opened
soon after the signing of the armis-
tice.
"Instead of buying, the Germans
frightened up their BELTS" he said.

GUY MORTON
VISITS COLUMBUS

Columbus entertained a national
celebrity in the baseball world last
Thursday, Guy Morton, of the Cleve-
land American team. His home is
at Vernon, Ala, where he is spend
ing the fall and winter, and with
a friend he journeyed down to the
city, which first gave him his start
on the road to baseball fame.
1t has been six years since he
first broke into fast professional
base ball and it was Manager G. M.
Flynn, who tried him out here with
the Columbus Club of the old Cot
ton States league. He soon burned
up things ! nthis bush company and
the Scouts began hurrying here and
he was sold to Cleveland who sent
him to Waterbury, Conn, and he
made such a fine record there that
he was jumped right into big com
pany, even before he had ever
dreamed of the science of inside
base ball. He managed to get away
with it alright and has been with
Cleveland for the past six years.
Guy accounted for his failure tC
pitch more this year by the fact
that early in the season he strained
a ligament in his side and that kept
him out of many of the contests.
He states that he has entirely re.
covered and will be in fine shape
for next year.
Morton was very popular here il
his pitching day and his old friends
and admirers were glad to see him
again.

Big Demand for Skirts.

The great retail demand for summer
skirts has cleaned out retail stocks and
showered the manufacturers with du-
plicate orders. Flannels and gabardines
are among the leaders. although linens
and crepes are getting their usual
heavy demand. White is most desired.
but the pastel shades are attracting
more than the usual amount OF atten-
ton given to colored skirts for the sum
mer. The scarcity of silks and the
high prices quoted by jobbers of such
material, will turn TO other fabrics, 1t
is said, some of the business that would

How to Wash coIored Embroidery.

How to Wash colored Embroidery
The best way 10 bleach white goods
having colored embroidery (such as
doilies and other articles which can
not be boiled for fear the color Will
fade) is 10 wash them and then dry
them in the shade PUT them in an
old piIlow-case which bias been dipped
in very strong bluing water and thor
Oughly dried. Then hang the case,
with the embroidered articles inside,
in the light for several days. They
will be perfectly white and the col
ored embroidery viii not be one bit
faded.
Look After the Smoothing Iron.
After the temper Of smoothing
iron is spoiled it win never retain the
heat so well again. Therefore never
let irons stand on the stove when
there is a hot fire unless they are
in constant use, and do not allow them
to become Oyer-heated.
When Heating Irons.
Turn an old pan or kettle over irons
which are being heated and they will
get hot much quicker This also keeps
the room cooler.
How TO Press Black Lace.
To press black pace sponge with
clear water on the right side until
quite wet, lay right side down on a
black pad, cover with a black cloth
and press with n hot iron When this
is done it will be found that the lace
is like new.
A New Scheme for ironing Sibhon.
If the ribbon has been washed in

Talk Into Your Telephone

Ts@0R1 A@e@@a&& ~S's4
There are two ways to make telephone
call and to carry on telephone conversation.
eAs< a@s~'~s~ -.
The gUrOng way is to humble the num-
Der to the operator, to be inattentive to her
repetition, and then. when you get the con-
nection, to talk at your telephone without
regard to its distance from your lips.
The right way is to give the number to
the operator clearly and distinctly, to lis
ten for her repetition of the number and dc-
knowledge it, and then to talk directly
into the telephone, with your lips close to
the transmitter, giving your whole attention
to the telephone conversation.
The right way will help you to geteven
quicker and more accurate connections and
will make your telephone conversations
more efficient,
Always talk DIRECTLY into your telephone

MISSED ONE CHANCE.

The astonishing information that
Mr.. Wilson'S administration wants
Ave billion dollars to run the govern
ment in the next fiscal year may well
sheck the country. Every wasted
dollar comes out Of somebody's hard
work. State and federal taxes are
enormously high and every office
holder seems to think a larger appro-
Priation can be got for next year. "
The Republican congress spent over
six months without cutting the APP
preparations half enough. II did "A
lot of nice things such as passing
the daylight savings law-tho 1t has
ne effect until next April and could
as well have been passed next
March-but altho the members tell
MS that there are more employees in
Washington than during the war,
something like $4,000 of them, ov-
er half entirely useless but holding
down fat jobs. there was no attempt
to cut down the list.
There is just one way TO make the
spenders stop and that is to take
away the money. Congress can re-
fuse to appropriate and then some of
the soft job statesmen viii have to
go home and so to work. As long
as appropriations come they will
stay and the spending and high taxes
win so on.
Congress missed one chance. Now
it has another and the people expect
it to get busy. If it does not there
is trouble ahead for next November.
Mr.. Glass wants five billion. let it
be cut to two billion. one for interest
on the bonds and one for expenses
and see If we cannot start on bust
ness administration instead Of hav-
ing a wasteful. extravagant one that
throws away the tax money like the
traditional drunken sailor.

PRAISE FOR CURTIS.

Senator Arthur Capper spent the
recess between the special and regu-
lar sessions at his home in Topeka.
The first thing he did on his arrival
in Kansas was to give out an inter
view praising the work of his col
league, Senator Curtis, and the mem
bers Of the Kansas delegation in the
house. Senator Capper said:
Senator Curtis is greatly disap-
pointed that he shall not be able 10
visit Kansas during this vacation.
He has a great deal or work ON hand
as member of the appropriations
committee, Of which he Is one of the
Oldest and most important members
and feels 1t is necessary to have ev-
erything ready for the regular SEES
sion. Let me say that no senator
puts in his time more faithfully thar
he does, and, what is still more inn
portant, he gets results. Curtis Is
known as one of the men always OF
the job and his colleagues have great
respect for his Judgment
