Society Of Independent Artists. In tho
tabernacle Of conservatism the wheat
is ruthlessly separated from tho chaff.
Under the canvas of liberalism every
body has his or her say, with no Jury
to intervene. We say Canvas" ad-
visedly. for there is something ire
sistably suggestion Of circus about
this affair. 1t Is strange medley Of
freakish things, pictures painted by
amateurs, Studies" Of the figure which
seem not studies at all, but Intellectual
fumblings around the problems in
volved in mostly sprawling forms. We
alluded in these columns last Sunday
to the unusual opportunity afforded for
comparison Of the Academy and this
Society as two rival camps. We ought
to withdraw that remark, with apolo-
gies to the Academy. This isn't rival
camp, place where the same thing is
being done in a different way. 1t is a
place where totally different thing is
being done.
Let it be granted that here and there
a few things have strayed into the ex-
hibition Of the Independents which can
be taken seriously. There is an excel
lent piece Of technique by Mr.. Robert
Henri. Mr.. Archie Gum contributes a
couple Of smoothly drawn nudes. There
is really charming winter scene, "The
End Of Main Street." by Mr.. Joseph
Wyckoff. Perhaps dozen such likable
pictures might be hunted down in the
mass. There are also few meritorious
pieces of sculpture. Mrs. H. P. Whit
ney's "Chinoise" Is figure of alluring
grace. The big Peacock" by CASTOR
Lachaise is a beautiful thing, most
decorative in conception and superbly
modelled. AS for the rest of the show
it is chaos of crudity and dullness.
There Is a picture by ]. E. Bourquin
which may not unfairly be taken as
representative of the show. 1t depicts
a man and woman in q bleak scene,

RIaa Hills Residents Want Money
for Roads
MIGHT SCHOOL OPENING


Representatives. from the Blue Hills
district In Kensington were the most
active at the open meeting of the
finance committee held in the Town
Hall last evening. After tho budget
which had been prepared by this
committee, has been read by Claude
W. Stevens very few remarks were
made with the exception of the Blue
Hills people. They feel that an extra
$500 or $4,000 should be added to
the budget TO take care OF the roads
in that section OF the town.
: Claude w. stevens resided over the
meeting which was not as largely at
tended as vas expected. The finan-
cial report OF the Berlin town school
committee was favorably received and
much comment was heard in various
parts OF the hall on the report OF this
committee inasmuch as the increase
asked by the board is not over $500.
The budget for the school board last
year called for s6T.222 while for this
year tho board asks $67.630. A big
decrease In noted in the appropria-
ton asked for the extension work.
Last year $500 was granted while
only $500 is asked for in the 1921
budget. Ths teachers salary list for
1920 amounted to $4,000 but is in
creased to s35.1B0 for this year. 1t
is worthy to note. however, that there
are two new teachers added to the
Berlin school force this year.
Town officials are pleased with the
report prepared by the budget and
believe that there will be little OPP
position at the annual town meeting
TO be held next month. During the
past year at special meetings appro-
a. trh al
to $5,371.35 which are included in
were made as follows: Probate court
OF New Britain. s2s3.7O; drainage
system, st,132.9S; East Berlin bridge.
s2,245.16: East Berlin road Tin excess
of allowed appropriation $1.6s9.51.
refund OF taxes $50. The final budget
will BIO made at the next session OF
the finance board to be held at
later date.

ed a wonderful lubricant for the
tongue OF Joseph Cordisco. a witness
in the General Sessions Court this
morning. who admitted that he had
been in this country for is years. hut
who insisted on having an interpreter
through whom TO give his testimony
in the case of John Contina who ap-
pealed from q decision OF the NUM-
cipal court ordering him to pay So

that he wanted an Interpreter but
Judge Heisel said he could speak we'll
enough without one and that any man
who had been in America as long as
the witness should know how to talk
the English language.
Cordisco stood mute when ques-
toned but when the court asked him
whether he preferred going to prison
or speaking English he decided 10 talk
and thereafter had no trouble In max

band sought to have him dismissed be-
cause the wife admitted she lives in
