ton yesterday launched another
broadside in behalf of the Demo-
cratic party. 1t is a labor analysis

says, in part:
Joe Bailey. of Texas, attempted
to induce the voters of that State

decided to send Mr.. Bailey a great
deal farther buck than that. In the
Alabama primaries Senator Under

a majority of $4,000, found his ma

electorate that to that extent show
to normal. In Colorado Senator
Thomas declined even to make the
effort to induce the voters to re-
turn to normal by Withdrawing
from the race for re-election. In
Oklahoma the nomination of Scott
Ferris for United States Senator
over Senator Gore was a clear indi-
cation of the desire of the people

The men gave their names as

East Capitol street; John Joseph
O'Connor, of 81 New York avenue
northwest, and Fred Herman Mid
dledorf, of $50 Taylor street north
west. Garth several years ago was

NEW CHIEF
STARTSDUTIES
Commissioner Hendriek Ini-
tiated Into Office Details
By Col. Kutz.

The District government will be-
gin its work next week with a full
Board of Commissioners for the
first time in many months.
The scheduled arrival Of Mabel
T. Boardmsn from her summer
her subsequent induction into office
will bring the board to its normal
strength again.
Work Facilitated.
This will mean, among other
things, a more even distribution Of
the Commissioners work. During
the months following the resigna-
tion of former Commissioner W.
Gwynn Gardiner. Commissioners
Brownlow and Kutz did three mems
work. This entailed long hours and
much unnecessary labor.
Commissioner Hendrick these
days is going through what event
ually Miss Boardman must underso
when she arrives. Yesterday morn
ing Commissioners Hendrick and
kutz conferred for more than two
hours in the latter's office, going
over routine matters, while Col.
kutz further instructed the new
Commissioner in the duties OF his
Office.
Hendriek Ably Initiated,
Col. kutz is not the only instruc-
tor Of Commissioner Hendricks
Daniel E. Garges, secretary OF the
Board Of Commissioners, daily
shows him new points in the many
sided post. Walter c. Allen. secre-
tary of the Public Utilities Com
mission, will lead the new Commis-
sioner into the maze of statistics
bearing on Wsshinyton's public
service corporations
The departments are functioning
uninterruptedly. apparently uncon-
scious of the fact that the District
has two new heads. No changes of
note in the regular routine are
looked for at present, and IL is i'm
probable that they will come be-
fore the new year.

number of Art and Archaeology"

The magazine is illustrated with
twenty-four faithful reproductions
in duotone of the paintings and is
a valuable catalogue of the collec-
ton.
The gift of the johnson collection.
which includes splendid examples of
the British, Florentine, Bolognese,
Venetian, Dutch and Flemish schools
of the sixteenth, seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries, is unique from
the fact that the donor is still liv-
ing.
Gifts Usually Posthumous.
TT is easy for a man to leave his
pictures to a public gallery after
his death" says George p. Rose, an
authority on renaissance art, writ
ing in the magazine. He knows
that he is thus erecting to his mem
ory one of the noblest and most en-
during of monuments, and that he Is
insuring the beloved objects against
destruction. But for the living art
lover to part with his treasures Is
hard. indeed. A thing of beauty Is
a joy forever, and the longer we
own it. the closer it twines itself
about our hearts"
The pictures have been hung to-
gether in one room and II Is ex-
pected that they will always be kept
together as memorial to the gen.
erosity of their donor
