that are easily commendable, although
neither are of the riot provoking or
der. The quietude, in fact. is almost
ominous at present. 1t may be the
lull, however, before the storm. as the
annual exhibition of the Independents
is imminent and liable to burst upon
us at any moment.
Mr.. Stevenson is a young enough
artist to have had his career inter
rupted by active service in the late
war. He is a pupil of John Singer
Sargents, and this fact will be appa-
rent TO the most careless of observers.
He even signs his name to the por-
traits with the same familiar slant.

Mr.. Abraham Wakowitz and other cele-
brities who attended the symposium.
as to what caused the warmth OF last
Wednesday.
The calorifcaton started with the
first address. which was by DR.. Phyllis
Ackerman and mounted with cumulative
force during the learned wise or witty
remarks by the other speakers who
were. in order. Christian Brinton. Kath-
crime Dreier. Mei s1en Hartley and Man
Ray. BY the tire the last word had
been spoken the atmosphere was tropical
and the audience was mentally pros
trate. All that is. save one. A lady
arose and said that from the point OF
view of psychoanalysist she desired
to know why the modern artists rejected
and destroyed the art OF the past and
hy, from the same point of view. there
was such marked falling off in cubistic
art this winter in Paris.
Miss Dreier, who attempted to answer.
said that she thought the interrogator
had been misinformed upon both points,
as she had never heard of a modernist
who wished to destroy the past. most Of
them being concerned with the present
and future, and. also. from all the data
obtainable in New York there appeared
to be more cubism in Paris this year

question thereupon left the room with
an unconvinced air.
Mr.. Hartley was the only one of the
speakers whose words bore directly upon
the art of Archipenko. He said that
the art of Archipenko was beautiful but
that he was sick of the word art and
no longer cared for the beautiful. ="
Archipenko's conception of woman as
cxemplified In the works of art upon
the walls of the Societe Anonyme had
all the Incompatible beauty of modern
except, of course. that beauty"
wasn't the word. Although not a
plumber Mr.. Hartley said he loved
plumbing. Plumbing was the one in
contribution that modern life
had given to humanity.

Observation-Disclosures in earnings OF
workers throughout the country dur
ing the past fiscal year, due to involun-

conference ON unemployment.
This estimate, it was explained, COW
cred the loss In wages because of I'M
employment Of all the jobless in the
country from July, 1920, to August IS
1921, and was based on an approxima.
ton of normal pay levels rather than
on the scales at the peak of high wag

said, would be turned toward remedy
for the economic loss to the country
from such reductions of the earning
power of its workers in the future by
more stabilized industrial plan.
