SAIL SHIP REPORTS !. DISMAL EXPERIENCE WITH WINTER SEAS
By Associated Prose

Queenstown, January As.-The hard ships of crossing the Atlantic in 2 sailing vessel in midwinter were shown by the experience of the Nor- wegian bark Sindal, which gave up the attempt after spending 7s days At sea and has returned to this port with her buiwarks stove in and much of her canvas in rags. T
 Most of her crew were either i'll or worn out by fatigue and exposure Neither vessel nor men were fit for further conflict with angry seas. The sirdal left Christianssand as far back as October 32, bound for Barbados and carrying only. ballast.
 Almost from the start she encoun- tered heavy westerly gales, but made her way ss far west as mid Atlantic, whence she vas driven north to the coast of Labrador and then almost over to Iceland Several times she was thrown on her beam ends. her decks were necessarily swept by seas cabins flooded and rigginss so strained that 1t was feared the masts would go Ono man fell from aloft in gale and wAs killed.

The Vogue for Italian Art

Fashion plays just as big a part in works of art, ancient and modern, as it does in clothes. Just now the fash ion is for Italian furniture and ob- jects of art. This leads Aymar Embury. IT, to write in Arts and Decorations:
 The fashion of the moment is for Italian furniture and objects of art
 T wonder how many people, who buy old Italian furniture know anything about the periods in Italian art. or to how many of them it has occurred that just as there are periods in colonial and periods in English work, there were periods in Italian?
 Much of the Italian work is unques- tionably very beautiful, even of the ugly and degraded baroque. although Russell Sturgis. in his History of Architecture. defines baroque as be- ing in bad taste because excessive.
 'T believe that taste, to be really taste. must be catholic; one must be able to appreciate the good in every style and to condemn the bad. By this I do not mean that one should have no preference as to style, for no two individuals have the same likes or dis likes
 '"We men agree reasonably well as to whether a girl is or is not pretty, although her beauty may have no ap- peal to us whatever; so with architec- ture or any other art we may like English work or French work or Ital- styles is good or not.
 "Of course. habitude has much to do with our feeling. It Is difficult for an European to see much beauty in a negress, yet unQuestiohably there are standards of beauty as positive and as definite in that race as in the Cau- casian. 1 would not say that the pub lie taste among the negroes Is inferior to sours--it is simply different va riety of taste" tats ss

ZAP DIVORCE MILLS LEAD ENTIRE WORLD;
 TEUTONS COME NEXT
By Associated Press

Tokio, January A.-The assertion IS issAde here that Japan leads the world in proportion of divorces to maria ges. Enofficial reports state that the num- Der of divorces in 1918 was 56,741, as against 50S,2 marriages, ratio Of S112S dlvorces to each 1000 marriages.
 This is compared to the German rate of 21.6 per 100, which is said to .l.e the highest divorce rate in Eu- rope. Unofficial figures indicate that Japan's rate of increase in population was cut about one-half in 1919 by in iiuenza and high cost of living. The estimated yearly increase of Japan population has generally been assumed ta#be about S00.0 900. In 1918 the cus- tonary estimated census showed an increase of about 600,000, while In 1913 the increase was only 30S, ,794.

WOOD SAYS LUMBER SOON ID ADVANCE
Addressing Exchange Club Dealer Predicts Revivifica-
 ton of Building

Building material prices will soon be on the increase, despite the de- cided slump which has hit the mar kets in some building lines, accord ing to Wadsworth Wood of the W. D. Wood Lumber company, who yes terday addressed the Exchange clubs regular weekly luncheon with a gen. cral review of the material market.
 There Is no question: said Mir. Wood, but what there has been some suffering in the lumber trade. By that mean the falling of prices and the lack of demand closed down some of the little fellows who could not raise money enough to tide them selves over during the bad stretch.
 Tt is one thing, however, to be optimistic, and quite another thing to face the real conditions. Some lines of materials, used in the build- ing trade are off right now over to per cent, but prices have reached rock bottom, and I am brave enough to say there is going to be a slow and steady increase very soon. But that should not discourage prospec- tive builders.
 "One good thing that should go q long way to encourage the builders is the labor situation. We find that the men engaged in the building. trades, while their wages are down to cer- tain extent, are about 8 1-3 per cent more efficient. There isn't goodly number of jobs, and there is com petition among the tradesmen for the work that is to be had. This makes good situation, indeed"
 Mir. Wood spoke of the builders hardware market, and indicated that there was present a tendency for . rise in price as there was on conn position roofing. He pointed out building conditions in Birmingham. which he said were ideal as compared with many other centers.

Ancient and Modern Architects

Aymar Enhury, II, ono of the most successful and widely known architects. makes some pertinent observations about the work of modern and ancient archi- tects, in Arts and Decoration.
 Our modern architects hear over and over again that. with all their knowl- edge Of things past, they should far sur pass the designers of the classic age or of tho Gothic period or of the Renais- sance. and I think the public as a whole is inclined to feel . scornful surprise that we are not able to achieve more greatly. It is, after all, rather surprising that each generation does not surpass the preceding one in sheer ability, yet such is the fact, not in architecture alone. but in every, creative work.
 One Of our foremost archaeologists has said that there probably never existed a race which was intellectually the equal of the Greeks of the fourth century B. C.. for . country with population of a poor half million produced 12 men SO eminent that the world since has not produced another dozen who were men, taffy their equals, and the achievements of thoDe Greeks were not in only a single line, for they included mathe- matfcian like Euclid, a philosopher like Plato. and sculptor like Praxiteles.
 I do not believe that our architects compare less favorably with those of the past than do our mathematicians or our philosophers. The Greeks honored their painters. sculptors and architects as they arc never honored today, not so much, I think, because of any difference in hu. man nature, as because the Greeks had 50 little with which to compare the works of their mon.
 It usnst have besn obvious to every Greek tlsat the Efce1hian Ax Athens was . far better gateway than the portal at Mykenai, and as the average in building In Greece vas of tho rudest possible de- soripkion. the temple Of the Parthenon was almost without competitor. In our time very lovely works of art pass un. seen by the many and unnoticed except by the few, not because public taste is worse. but because our great buildings are not as rule, buildings for the pub lie use or entertainment and we have no proprietary feeling for them.

Giving s1Mission" Its Due

In Arts and Decoration, Aymar Elm bury. II. writing on Fashion in Public Taste" has good word to say for mission furnituse-once so popular and now held in so little regard:
 "Eyen in antiques, fashions change. Personally I have never cared for the grandiose French design of the periods of Louis XIV and XIV. but 1 can per- ceive that much of the design Is beau- tiful and that for certain methods of living 1t is appropriate. It So hap pens that today those periods are out # favor and the person who furnishes his house In the style of Louis XIV is spoken of as being tasteless, or if there is shadow of ground for the suspi- cion Is regarded as nouveau riche.'
 ''On the other hand, the person who buys old Italian furniture or old Span ish furniture or old English furniture, or even all three. and furnishes with them alone. Is regarded as beinR taste full In the extreme. The quality of design of the articles thus does not seem to enter very greatly into the public opinion of what Is good taste.
 'Every one will remember that eight or ten years ago mission furniture was all the rage, and mission houses were thought to be the last work in cot taRe design. Extraordinary pentiment!
 Today the mission styie is as dead as the Victorian. and I know of noth- ing which will damn . newcomer in q town more completely than to say that his house 10 furnished In the mis- sion style.
 This is not fair to the period, which did have as ite bAsis . sound bit or reason. namely. that furniture should be solidly constructed and able to stand considerable wear and teary
 We have also to remember that we owe to the mission movement one very great debt--the education. of the pub lie to realize that . plano finiSA on golden oak and cherry stained ma hoRany did not take the place of good design, and that soft tones and dull finishes were moro valuable In bring- ing out tho grAins of wooda than varnish shined up like . niggerss hesl."
