DE LASZLO PORTRAITS
ATTRACT ATTENTION

That fashionable interest in portrait
ure can be aroused Is proved by the
work of Philip de Laszlo. an exhibition
OF which in the galleries Of NJ Knoed-
Ter & Co. Is attracting throngs who view
them very seriously. Mr.. de Laszlo,
who was born in Budapest, was fashion
able in Europe before coming to Amer
lea, and did all the crowned heads Of
Europe while they lasted His por-
traits OF King Edward VII. and Queen
Alexandra did as much as anything,
perhaps. in giving him this vogue. He
has had orders bestowed upon him by
most foreign Governments and by most
artistic societies in the world. He has.
IN fact had about all the practical sue
cess that an artist can have In the mod
ern world. though his fellow artists do
not discuss his achievements much, an
his style presents no Innovations upon
that OF his predecessors.
He seizes the American type with
great firmness and accuracy, which liz n
thing that may not be said OF most for
eign portrait painters who come here.

a pie is not a sufficient bait for
the spoiled New York public, SO
the Architectural League thinks. and
of late when 1t arranges its annual ex-
hibitions It invariably camouflages its
plans and elevations with chiffons.
This year the diagrams are more dis
creetly dissembled than ever and the
chiffons, which have a somewhat By
zantine effect, are more pervading.
The unfinished southern wing OF the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. which
houses the show, looks like a sketch
for the latest thing in Worlds Fairs,
with its cavernous exhibits in the cell
lars, it's great two story hall in the
centre, and steps to the upper galleries
drawn in such imposing early Egyptian
dimensions that even visitors bred to
skyscrapers are humbled into a sub
missive state of receptivity. The gen.
eral impression is really rather gay
and larlxy, and this is all to the good
for after all the public is nothing but
a great big child and loves to play;
and strenuous efforts should be made,
particularly at this time. to get it to
play with art. Art. say what you
will, is safer for children than fire.

The Byzantine effect, it should be
added, is immensely helped by the un-

permits the use of earth floors. Travel

Baedeker double starred will be quite

rheumatic or equity tendencies, as
Baedeker would say, should be warned
not to neglect to take their overcoats
and wraps along evon on extra warm
April days. But there Is no doubt
those earthen floors do add to the ar
tistic atmosphere.
But there is plenty of architecture for
those who care to see It. Architects

TRACTOR SCHOOL A SUCCESS

The free tractor school held at
Beaver Dam on the 21st and 22nd,
is now history.
The meetings were we'll attended
and appreciated, and Of great inter-
est to all who own and operate a
gas engine or tractor or an automo-
bile, as the talks dealt with the
fundamentals which underlie anyone
of these.
The attendance was especially
gratifying to those who were re-
sponsible for the school inasmuch
as the weather was extremely un-
pleasant and many or rather most
of the men had to come a considera-
BILE distance THRU the bad roads.
This is the first time that this
sort of educational work has been
attempted in the State, and every
dealer in the county was invited to
cooperate with the Experiment
Station and the county agent in put
ting this on they all responded
with the finest sort of spirit; the
manufacturing companies furnished
men to talk, slides, books, moving
picture films, engine parts, charts,
and time and money. Thanks are
also due to the men in Beaver Dam
who made possible the use of the
Opera House, the moving picture
machine and assisted in advertising
the meeting.
1t is just such team work that al
ways accomplishes things, and the
meeting was indeed a credit to the
community and the county.

BANDIT SHOT WHEN
TRYING TO ROB BANK
Henry Starr Probably Fatally
Wounded by Officer He Had
Forced Into Vault

Harrison, Ark, Feb. 19.-Henry
Starr, notorious Oklahoma bandit,
was probably fatally wounded when,
with two companions, he attempted
to rob the Peoples Bank OF Harri-
son.
When the robbers backed en-
ployes of the bank into the vault, a
bank officer seized a rife that had
been hidden there and shot Starr
down. He then opened fire on the
other two, but they escaped.
At the county Jail Starr admitted
his identity, but refused to give any
information concerning his compan-
ions, who were reported surrounded
in a. wood, two miles south Of town,
by an armed posse Of more than
100 men.
Starr underwent an operation at
the Jail, performed in an effort to
save his life. He was shot through
the body, just below the heart.
He dictated kilograms to his wife
at Tulsa and his son, Henry Starr,
Jr., at Oklahoma City telling them
that he was dying.
81 always expected to die with
my boots on" Starr told officers.
He later was said to have given
the names of his companions as
Buch Davis and Tom Jones.
The three bandits entered the
bank shortly before noon and draw
ing pistols ordered officials and en-
ployes into the vault. w. I. Meyers,
a former president and one of the
principal stockholders of the bank,
entered at the time and also was
ordered into the vault.
Mr.. Meyers had concealed a rife
in the vault and in the darkness
was able to obtain 1t and open fire
before his intention became. known.
The two bandits who escaped fled
in an automobile, but after driving
q mile south of the town they set
the machine on fire and escaped in
to the hills.

fiscal year was fixed at 5 per cent

ropean birth in the United States in

AS passed by the Senate, the
number is limited to per cent of
such persons, which means that if

House and signed by President Will
son. the total number of immigrants
from Europe and Turkey in Asia
who can be admitted to the United
States during the fiscal year ending
June so, 1922, will be 355,461.

mitted to land under the provisions
of the Senate bill from the various

Two Oppose Measure
The two Senators who opposed
the bill were Senator James Reed,
! Democrat, Missouri, and Senator
Joseph ~. France, Republican,
Maryland.
Mr.. Reed made a speech in which
he eulogized the Dutch, Irish, Ger
mans, Bohemians and other old
time immigrants who came here
more than'half a century ago.
Because of the splendid citizen
ship records made by the descend
ants of these people, he argued that
in his opinion there was no excuse
at this time to put up the bars
against those who now seek to
come here from other countries.
Senator Pat Harrison, Mississippi
supported by Senator Wesley L.
Jones, Washington. favored passage
of the Johnson Bill, which would
have stopped immigration for four
teen months. On the motion to
substitute the Senate measure for
the Johnson House Bill, nineteen
Senators voted for the House mas
ure.

Of lESE MAJESTY"
Tells Senate That Harding Can
not Rule Him; Intimates
Insurgency

Washington, Feb. 21.-Emphatic
notice was given in the Senate
Thursday by Senator Borah of Ida
ho, Republican, that he would not
"abdicate" his judgment to that Of
President Harding during the next
four years.
Senator Borah's declaration came
at the conclusion of a sharp clash
with Senator Mccormick of Illinois,
Republican, over the question Of
disarmament. The latter had charg-
ed that the naval disarmament pro-
posals of Senator Borah would dis
arm" Mr.. Harding in arranging for
general disarmament council.
Disclaiming any desire to embar-
rass Mr.. Harding, Senator Borah,
in replying, said:
I'VE have heard much criticism
ia the last few years of waiting for
nod from the White House. Con-
gress has been accused of abdicat-
ing not only its judgment but its
functions. Let ME say here, with
out disrespect to the President-elect
that l shall not abdicate my judg-
ment any more during the, next four
years than l have during the past
eight"
Confronted by Deficit
Declaring that the government
was confronted by a deficit this
year of 1000, 100000, Senator Bo-
rah said this amounted to "a great
er menace than anything the United
States faced during the war"
Taxes and appropriations, ap-
preparations and taxes; have we
lost our cunning for other meas
ures?" he demanded. 81 say taxes
and appropriations will not carry
you, my Republican friends, out of
this condition. There must be a
programme somewhere. l have had
the temerity to submit two propos-
ais and nowhere have they met with
favor.
Very well, do not complain; |
will fall in with everything, but
what is the programme? | ask for
something; I have ceased to be pa
tient with the whispering from the
