The remedy that Mr.. Penneu pro-
poses for this situation is the establish
ment of a National Department of Fine
Arts. 1t would not be an innovation in
governmental method. America, he
says, is the only civilized country In the
world in which government does MOTH
ing to promote art
He says further that the nucleus of
such department exists in our Fine
Arts Commission, body which has
done remarkably good work with small
powers and funds. Mr.. Pennen would
have this body given Jurisdiction over
q great American gallery of art in con-
nection with which would be conducted
a government school Of art. The most
promising students in this school would
be sent to Europe to complete their
educations and would then repay the
Government by becoming instructors ir
the school for a period Of years. Ir
this way American talent would be
developed, and would be given induce
ments to stay in America. Further.
more, the exhibitions and lectures In
the gallery would lay the foundations
OF sound artistic taste in America
1t would be a great educational insti,
tuition for the general public as well al
for the students of art.
Above ALL says Mr.. Perneli thi.
gallery aud art school would be a grea

loft died from injuries received to-
day in the 50-mile automobile race at
the state fair grounds here. He died
just as he reached the hospital to
which he was taken Immediately after
his machine went over an embank-
ment at curve in the track.
Toft's machine caught fire after the
accident. Ralph de Palma, who pass
ed the spot where Toft's machine
went over the embankment immedi-
ately after the accident, reported to
the referee that Toft was walking
around his machine, apparently un-
hurt. The ambulance that was at the
track, however, Immediately went to
the wreck and the physician found
Toft seriously injured.
The first persons to The scenes of
the accident found Toft unconscious
under his car and de Palma later said
that he probably had mistaken some
one else near the car for Toft. Toft
was riding alone at the time of the
accident.
Mrs. Toft. who had accompanied
her husband here from Los Angeles.
was in the grand stand when the acci-
dent happened After de Palma's re-
port that Toft apparently was unhurt,
Mrs. Toft was taken from the stand
by friends.
De Palma said that Toft's tracks
were clear up to the point where the
machine went over the embankment,
indicating that his machine had not
skidded. The cause of the accident is
not known. The dust at the curve
where the wreck occurred was so
