others way, the Postmaster General recently in
creased his force largely.
Even the Civil Service Commission is unable to
furnish accurate figures touching the civil list and
frankly admits it.
The Department heads, instead of recognizing
the need of cutalment and the putting of brakes
without exception are submitting estimates which
call for increased appropriations.
Representative Siegel, who presented startling
array of figures to the House, said:
"No official in supervising capacity in any De-
partment has come forward with any real action
showing that he has endeavored to reduce the force
under him and to attain the high standard of ef-
ficiency the government should have at all times.
Officials do not seem to realize that economy in gov
ernment is imperative. Our burden of taxation is
out Of reason.

termne to keep those who are efficient and neces-
sary and discharge without delay those who can be
spared and are inefficient" Scott c.. Bone, in

ZURBARAN PANEL
FOR ART MUSEUM

recent purchase by the Metropolitan
MUSEUM has been large panel by the
Spanish painter. Zurbaran. and 1t is now
on exhibition there. 1t Is not a great
Zurbaran, but II Is an interesting one
II is a battle piece showing a conflict
between the Moors and the Spaniards,
and the fighters are small people in the
distance. with one tall figure In the fore
ground, pointing unexcitedly to the
scrimmage. This tall figure contains the
only painting of the sort that is famil-
iarly associated with the fame Of the
artist. but who the parsonage Is is a
matter for conjecture.
The picture was painted for the Car
thusian Monastery at JereZ, Mr. Meyhe
the assistant curator of paintings ~fe-
ates, and was among those dispersed
owing to ''scandalous events and fatal
circumstances in 1897, two years after
the order suppressing such Spanish
houses in 1895. Five of the six paint
ines In the monastery found their way
later into European museums, but the
whereabouts Of the sixth, which repre-
sented a Moorish battle. remained
mystery until just lately.
When 1t came into the possession of
he museum the picture bore the title
The Battle Of Las Navas de Tolosa."
q Is not known how long this title has
been in use, but it is tempting one
or at Las Navas was gained the great
st Christian victory over the Moors
corded in the history Of the Recon-
luest The Moors greatly outnumbered
he armies Of Alfonso VIII and awaited
hem with confidence in the wilds Of the
mountains.
But God provided remedy in this
extremity" runs an ancient record, "a
'heph nerd. who had long used those
mountains and knew them thoroughly
tsome say 1t was an angel, for that
after he had shown the way he was
never seen more) promised the king II
he would rely upon him he would lead
the whole army through byways he web
knew" Another historian is skeptical
OF the angel and attributes the victory
10 the good counsel of certain peasant
whom God sent inspired" Popular
Tradition, however, affirms that the
hepherd savior was none other than
the beloved St Isidore. laborer and
patron saint OF Madrid
All this is very plausible and fits in
we'll enough with the painting for the
battle is shown occurring upon the plain
of Tolosa, and the fine figure of the
foreground could easily be st. Isidore,
his ploughman's humble garb trans
formed in conformity with the aristo-
cratic Spanish taste. But unfortunately
a record of surer origin seems to combat
the st. Isidore theory. POM, who Wis
tied the church at Jerez in the eigh-
teenth century, speaks of seeing two ex-
cellent works by ZuIbaran. one of which
represented the Virgin and Child. with
some kneeling monks, and the Other
showed Our Lady aiding the Inhab it-
ants of Jerez in battle which they won
from the Moors, in which was captured
their leader. Aben-faha, who was then
sent captive to Alfonso XII" If this in
formation supplied to POM at the mon
astery be assumed as correct, then his
tory must be searched for another and
later battle to give the title TO the
| picture.

He painted for very little while as an
impressionist after leaving the Slade
School, but had not reduced the habit
Of painting to the subcons ciou~ part OF
his brain at the time when cubism
vamped him. The consequence was that
his cubism was hard, oh, 30 hard. There
was no sense of touch. The color was
unobjectionable, but also uninspired.

results from largely Increased cost OF
