marine subjects with a truly living
touch, filing his spaces with strictly
decorative judgment, but enduing them
with the life of ideas. There are, doubt
less, some decorative pieces here which
are more novel than exhilarating, the
fantasticalities of M. Pablo Picasso,
the cubistic Dancers" of Mr.. Arthur
B. Davies, the neo-primitive compost
tons Of Mr.. Eugene F. Savage. But
they are in the minority. The bulk of
the decorative painting is marked by
the more sober traits which you recog-
nize in the work of Mr.. Arthur Crisp,
Mr.. Frank V. Dumond, Mr.. E. H.
Blashfield and Miss Violet Oakley
They break no new ground, but in
what they do they are emphatically
the masters of craft, and obedience
to its immemorial rules does not pre-
vent their expression of personal quail
tiles. There are quantities of clever
bits of decoration, isolated pieces like
the Oriental screens sent by Miss Sally
Cross. This is the kind Of work that
hitherto has been identified chiefly with
the name of Mr. Robert W. Chanler
He once more affirms his interesting
talents, but this time he has serious
rival in Miss Cross.
The decorative painters, as in other
League exhibitions, make an extremely
varied company, some Of them Offering
mural compositions of an ambitious
order, some of them drifting into pic
torial motives of only casual interest.
But the minor work is less assertive
than we have known it to be. There
is so much wall to be covered. Odd
ments are easily disposed of. They fill
stray square and count as so much
pleasant color, as SO much viyacity. in
the big broad spectacle. The sculptors
make, on the whole, more telling i'm
rression, perhaps because their works,
in the nature of things, more readily
detach themselves from their sur
roundings. Like the architects, they
have risen bravely to their opportunity.
Mr.. Charles Keck makes an interesting
and highly praiseworthy appearance.

the tendency is that which we have in
dicated above, toward an archaeological
habit, toward the reconstruction of
whole episodes from the past, it is at
least indicative of knowledge and taste,
and in one respect commands I'M
qualified admiration. The workman
ship is beyond praise. Our manufac-
turers can do anything. There are
phases of the subject also which pro-
claim much more than a discreet emu
lation Of the past. There is something
like creative energy in the silks of
the Cheneys and in wrought iron like
that Of Caldwell & Co. and Samuel
Yellin. All through this part of the
show one is conscious Of the skilled
craftsman dealing ardently in good
ideas Valuable light was thrown on
the subject not long ago in the exhi-
bition of the industrial arts arranged
by the Metropolitan itself The pres
ent display carries the argument still
further-through a wider range Of
decoration and utility.
Allied with these interior schemes
and the exhibits of the manufacturers,
there is the large body of work con-
tributed by the mural and decorative
painters. The outstanding phenomenon
is the departure from academic pre-
cedent, the familiar goddess of this
or that interest, fanked by carefully
balanced subsidiary figures and Access
series. Mr.. Ezra Winter is finely
representative figure. He is an
alumnus of the American Academy at
Rome. He knows, we take it, all about

In scale and appropriately heroic in
quality building OF good proportions
and of positively consoling simplicity.
One must always sympathize with the
architect tackling a problem of this
kind, one of kind Of endless fenestra-
tion- How Is he to extort anything like
design from the practical requirements
imposed upon him? Mr.. Morris man
ages through his use Of arches and or
ders in his lower stages, through the
repetition of orders near the roof, and
through the recession of part of his
FACADE. In the result his huge mass is
held together without falling upon
dizziness. His building is representative
of much that appears in the exhibition,
Of disciplined, thoughtful ingenuity
out of which flow dignifed compost
tions. The difficulty that seems to
gravel nearly all the architects is the
difficulty of coming to stop, of secur-
ing roof line as good as the parcel
ing out of window space beneath it.
Cornices, psdiments, cupolas and the
like are evidently refractory motives
and the roof itself has occasionally
hard time getting the right pitch.

ing affected more than ever, we should
say, by the play of Gothic ideas, and

never before given greater range to
all the arts, and at the same time il has
now contrived to keep architecture in
the foreground. Here, at last, is as
suredly demonstration that big
exhibition space may be successfully
exploited in New York; and by good
luck the League strengthens the argu-
ment by the only legitimate process,
by filling its galleries with good ma
terial. The unusual opportunity Of

genuine inspiration. Rubbish has been
kept out. A high average is steadily

Italian influences are obvious in much
of the landscape gardening, but there
is to be observed in even. greater force
the activity of ideas which avoid exotic
suggestions in the environment of an
American house. If there is one merit
more than another which marks the
general drift OF the domestic archi-
lecture here it Is one of a more racy,
more intimate conception of the charac-
ter and needs of this country. 1t Is
only in the interiors that an alien at

pose, is inevitable, so long as the
glamour of antique furniture, tapes

the collector. He, or she, can at any
rate maintain that it promotes the
decoration of room in q very beauti-
full manner. 1t expresses nothing of
American life, to be sure, beyond our
eclecticism in matters of luxury, but
who can deny its charm? And then,
from time to time, some of our archi-
tects and interior decorators have the
judgment to revert to the Colonial
style, which, if Historical" too, is at

WHY HE SMILED

Noticing one of herA pupils nib
bling at some luncheon in school
one day, the teacher called the
culprit to the desk.
"You know" she began sternly,
"that you must not eat during
lesson hours. Now, as punish
ment, you must stand in front of
the class and eat every bit of it. :"
The small boy did as he was
told, a curious grin overspreading
his face. The teacher misunder-
stood that grin until the last
scrap had disappeared, when from
the class a small voice walled in
fearful accents:
"Please, teacher, that wasn't
his lunch he was eatin'-it was

That there is widespread public
interest in livestock Improvement
is shown by the support accorded
such activities as cow-testing
associations, poultry culling and

of the United States Department
of Agriculture. On June 80, 1920,
cow testing associations in the
United States numbered 467, a

ORIGINAL POEM
ByA r. BENSON Secretary gf State
By A. z. BENSON, Set

Id rather spend time growing flowers,
Id rather be modest than bold,
Id rather be bee making honey,
Then spend all my life chasing gold
Id rather be damned than unwilling
Id rather grow roses than weeds,
Id rather do good with my hours,
Than spend time sowing bad seeds.
Id rather be free and unhampered
Id rather give place to a friend
Id rather be truthful than pampered
know that is best in the end.
Id rather stand up for grilling,
Id rather be scorned if I'm right,
Id rather be damned than unwilling,
To strike when it's time for fight.

Mayor Taylor Urges Statewide
Cooperation

Mayor William G. Taylor, of
Wilmington, said it was about
time Wilmingtonians learned there
there was more of the State of
Delaware than one city. Our
friendship should be extended
throughout the state, he said,
and the people in the farthest part
of Delaware would be brought
closer to US.
He urged his hearers to tell of
DelaWare's good points and to ad-
vertise. Though he admitted there
are some weak points in the make
up of the state, he claimed there
are more good points to Delaware
than to- any other state in the
Union, advancing the opinion that
the next two years will be the
greatest in the history of Della
ware. We are ON the eve of pros
perity, he said, pointing to the
Wilmington harbor as one of the
greatest hopes we have to cling to.
He closed his remarks by ufg-
ing every one to make himself not
only a WilminIgtonian but a full
f1edged DelaWarean, and to all
boost together and make Delaware
College one of the greatest insti-
tutions of learning in the country.
The mayors address was fol-
lowed by more community sing

Katherine Graybill and a skit by

NEARLY A HUNDRED
KIWANIANS DINE AT
OLD COLLEGE
Local Members Receive and
Provide Varied Entertain
ment Of Guests

A hearty welcome, good food,
good music and all of the ele-
ments which ordinarily are con-
sidered essential to a good time,
were offered to- the members of
the Kiwanis Club who attenlIed
the banquet at Delaware College
last Wednesday evening. No eff
fort was spared by Mr.. Arthur G..
Wilkinson, through whom the in
vitation was extended by local
Kiwanians, to make the dinner a
success. The ultimate object of
the affair was to arouse the inter-
est of this powerful organization
in the college.
In the arrangements for the
dinner Mr.. Wilkinson had the
hearty support of DR.. Walter
Hullihen, president of Delaware
College, the students, faculty and
local members of the organiza-
tiOn.
The visitors arrived about 7
o'clock in two special railway
coaches and marched in a body
to the hall at the entrance of
which a huge electrically lighted
tx" had been placed. They were
received by Mr.. Wilkinson and
members of the entertainment
committee which included the
local members, H. l.. Bonham, w.
E. Holton, George L. Townsend,
Jr., Louis Klee and J. Writ Willis.
They We're then ushered into the
banquet hall where they were en-
tertained by the college orchestra.
Hopes Visit Will Become Annual
Custom
Mr.. Wilkinson adding a per-
sonal welcome to the Kiwanians,
introduced DR.. Walter Hullihen,
who made the address Of welcome.
Extending the welcome on behalf
of Newark, Delaware College, and
members of the faculty, DIR. Hulli-
hen expressed the hope that the
Kiwanian visit would become an
annual custom. The keynote Of
the work of the Kiwanis Club, he
said, is the very best of American
business and their spirit of fellow
ship and ibrothership is worthy of
the greatest possible praise. at
is the most hopeful sign," he as
serted, "that has come out of the
chaos of the great world war"
He agreed with Mr.. Wilkinson
that Delaware College needed all
the help of the Kiwanians and
asked for their sympathetic inter-
est and aid.
During the past three years, he
pointed out, the students have
literally been pouring into the col
lege I'M numbers far in excess of
all past records. Many must be
turned away, due to the limited
facilities, and for that REASON Del
aware College must demand
heavier appropriations for it's up
keep than ever before. "There-
FORE" he declared, 1--WE need help,
actual assistance and aid from the
Kiwanis Club and every other like
organization"
President William G. Corey of
the KiWanis Club responded to
the address of welcome. He said
the organization greatly appreci-
ated the honor bestowed upon
them for the first time by New
ark, and expressed a hope the
people of the two communities
would get to know each other
better.
Following President Corey's re-
sponse, Kiwanian Guy R. Ford led

A particularly close and hard

The former team won in the last
second of play when Prisbylski,
