missioned to paint the portrait OF
Bainbridge Colby. Secretary Of State.
Praised by London.
Barely 40 years old. his reputa-
ton rests on experience gained un-
der some OF the greatest of Euro
pean masters. He recently was
hailed in London as "a new genius"
upon the exhibition of his painting.
"Parsifal," showing his conception
of the elevation of the grail in the
last act. This has been shown in
Paris, Florence and Munich.
Mr.. Stones work includes, among
other portraits, those of Princess
Marie Alexandria Reusse of Brand
enburg, a descendant of Catharine
the Great; Princess Wittgenstein of
Bavaria, a sister-in-law of the
Queen of Belgium; and many other
members of royal families.
He was the only one of a family
of five children to show any artis-
tic talent Between the ages of ten
and eighteen. he contributed to the
family funds by working for vari-
Gus sign painting firms in Chicago,
in whose service he spent the day,
attending art classes at night and
studying far into the small hours.
From City to City.
AS a sign painter. he was not
popular with his fellows, who re-
sented his tendency to work harder
than was required. He was earning
Sc a day. an unusual salary at that
time, when he decided to give up
sign painting. He came east and
obtained position in the art de-
partment of a Boston newspaper at
SO a week.
The experience was useful but ex-
pensive, he claims. His savings
dwindied until, in desperation, he
came to New York and finally to
Philadelphia, hoping to find before
all his savings were spent. a place
where an artist could earn nearly
as much as a laborer.
He failed. There came a night
when, penailess, hungry and heart
broken, but not discouraged, he
faced the fact that art again must
wait on commerce and applied for
a job with a Philadelphia bill post
ing company.
First. Success Comes.
He was painting on a blank wall
an advertisement for condensed
who had been watching him from
the sidewalk, asked IL he wanted
to go to New York and paint drop
curtains in the Lee Lash studio. He
accepted this position. at SO a day.

Three Cents Hour Raise

Danville, Va, June 19.-Street
cars stood idle for one-half an hour
today as a elimination of the
threat to strike made by employees
of the Danville Traction and Power
Company. The situation developed
over night the men saying that un-

As compared with so a week, ne
claims. art was looking up.
In the five years that followed he
studied and worked. picking up odd
jobs of illustrating where he could.
His skill increased until he broke
down from overwork and eye
strain, and to save himself from
going blind was obliged to drop
everything and take his first vaca-
tion in the woods of upstate New
York.
When he returned, he establishes
a studio in New York with an Eng
lish artist. but the partnership
lasted only a short time. He made
his first hit with a picture of Wash
ington rallying his demobilized
troops at the battle of Princeton.
for which he received $500. Before
he left New York he was producing
work for some of the prominent
magazines.
Worked I'm Paris
At this time a number of his can
vases attracted attention in ex-
hibits at the art galleries in Pa1s
and Munich. He decided TO tour
Europe, and started out with an
other art student. He visited Paris,
Rome, Florence and Venice before
settling down to work in Paris.
From Munich he received a COM
mission to paint portraits of the
family OF Julius Rosenwald. cele-
brated European financier.
He was in Munich when the Lusf-
tania was sunk. Believing war be-
tween Germany and the United
States was inevitable, he hastened
to Berlin to learn from the Amer
lean Ambassador how much time
he could depend on to complete the
contracts on which he was engaged.
Prefers America.
Ambassador Gerard informed him
there was no prospect of war and
advised him to continue his regu-
lar business. He went back to
Munich and completed his work, but
took on no new engagements.
When relations finally were broken
between Germany and the United
States, he went to Stockholm where
he studied under Andreas Zorn, the
great Swedish portrait painter. Here
he painted the portraits of Am
bassador and Mrs. Ira Nelson Nor
ris. and of many of the Swedish
nobility.
Mr.. Stone declares he will not
return to Europe. 1t was the scene
of his greatest triumphs but he
considers the United States his
home.

Shanghai, June 19.-Chinese labor
ers celebrated the first national
labor day in the republic May
with meetings and parades. In the
city OF Shanghai the laborers met
with some opposition on the part of
the native military government, but
still held to their celebration.
There has been a growing move
ment for the organization of the
laborers in the various centers Of
China, particularly in Shanghai and
Hongkong. during the last year.
Strikes are becoming common as
skilled labor becomes educated to
the realization that it can make its
demands felt in an Industrial way.

BRASS 7ACKS
BY a Small Town Philosopher.

If you want to make good, be good.
A fellow who has any snap in him
is not one who is always looking for
a snap.
The weakness of a mans mind can
often be gagged by the strength of
his language.
If we should try to return good for
all the evil some folks hand US, we'd
be awfully busy bodies.
A man doesn't have to be social
ist to see that in the final distribu-
ton of wealth, the very class that
produces the most of it gets the least.
A study of the lives of all the
worlds great men from ancient times
on down through the countless cent
uries, proves that adverse criticism is
one of the invariable rewards of
greatness.
"God hates coward" of which
there are various kinds. One of the
most contemplate is that coward
who treats you as a friend to your
face and calls you fool behind your
back.
Say what you will, this is pretty
tough old world: Where there's
wealth there's often small peace;
and where there's poverty. the piece
is even smaller.
Along life's highway some maidens
that a man usually meets early in his
career are. Miss Understanding,
MISTAKE, Miss Calculation, Miss
Step and Miss Fortune
o
One can never tell from the clamor
Of the crowd whether man has done
right or wrong, because either is
bound to offend someone. That's
why so many people refuse to take a
stand on any issue.

Senator Norris of Nebraska, men,
Der of the agricultural committee

bers objected on the grounds that
such resolution would not be
strong enough. While not anticipat-
ing the action of the president, dem
ocratis senators made clear their in
tention of voting to override Veto
if necessary.
The senate committees resolution
declares that unprecedented and UNI
paralleled distress" exists among the
farmers because of their inability to
market their products at prices
equalling the cost of production and
that people Of Europe are in "dire
need" of these products but unable
to purchase because of existing fl

further recites that banks have been

they may hold their products until
"they can be sold in a fair and rea-
