I'm the old days I painted what 1
thought I ought to see, not what 1
did see." said Philip Little, tho cele-
brated painter and etcher of Salem,
Mass, whose collection of etchings is
now on display at Smalfey's galleries.
1872 Grand avenue. Kansas City, Mo.
This beautiful work is receiving much
attention from local artists and art
patrons.
Titles statement concerning HIM
self, is true Of most beginners in art
and most everything else. 1t is only
when a person shakes himself free
from the trammeIS of convention and
begins to think and to act according
to his true and honest feelings and
convictions, that he is on the road to
greatness. Little confesses that not
long ago he gathered together all the
work-he had done during the proceed
ing twenty years, and made q bonfire
with the same. He even went so far
as to induce individuals and art mu-
seums to exchange the work they had
OF his for new pictures. in order that
none of his old work might remain.
The pictures had to go. I had
painted for twenty years before I saw
covered with browns. grays. subdued
reds and puppies. Then 1 began to
see nature as she Is.
Once the scales had fallen from
my eyes, could see the resonance and
the richness of sunlight. falling among
the forest trees. and how it seems to
flash in blues and yellows and reds.
where once I had seen grays and
browns"
.LittIe's etchings are done with an
untrammelled independence in style
yet with masterfuI draughtmanship-
The freedom Of stroke in his etchings
and Autographs is the result of those
careful wears when drawing was about
the only merit his work possessed In
his own estimation.
The works on exhibition at Smalley' s
galleries are permeated with light,
life and suggestion of color despite
the fact that they are all black and
white.

Behold. happy is the man whom God cor
recteth: therefore despise not thou the chas-

For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he
woundeth. and his hands make whole.
He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea

In famine he shall redeem thee from

Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of

At destruction and famine thou shalt

And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle
shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy

Mother of Man
Killed By Train
Sues Railroad

Charging that the Oregon Elec-
trio company negligently and
carelessly caused the death OF
her son, Charles Edward James,
Mrs. Myrtle Adams filed suit for
the collection of $500 damages
in the circuit court this morning.
James with AL Jerman was
killed on March 7 when an Ore
gon Electric train crashed into
the machine they were driving
while crossing the track a mile
south of Salem on the river road.
The complaint alleges that the
company had negligently for the
past two years failed to keep a
gate shut on the road and that
the deceased was prevented from
seeing the approaching train by a
high board fence on the companys
right of way. 1t further states
that the bell of the train was not
ringing and that the motorman
failed to blow his whistle for the
crossing. The sound of the ap-
preaching train, the plaintiff
states was deflected because Of
high bluff near the crossing.

Wages May
Be General
Reduction Forecast by
Labor Board Expect
ed To Embrace ALI
Glasses of Men

Chicago, May 18.-The general
reduction of wages for unskilled
railroad employees effective July /
forecast by the railroad labor
board last night, will be made the
basis of reductions extending to
all classes of railroad labor, it was
understood today.
Although only the Chicago
Great Western, the Chicago & AL
ton and a few other roads have re-
quested that the wage reductions
be extended to all classes, provis-
ion was made by the board in its
announcement for the filing of 9TH
er petitions up to June 6 and 1t is
believed that others of the lSO
class A roads will amend their ap-
plications to include shop, train
service and other classes OF eln-
ployes. The new applications filed
up to June 6, the boards an
nouncement said, will be decided
to take effect also July /.
No intimation was given in the
boards announcement as to the
probable extent of the cut. Last
July the board increased wages OF
unskilled labor and some other
classer 20 per cent making 1t
retroactive to May /, 1920.
"The general effect of the de-
cision will be to retard track
work. said S. M. FELTON,, president
of the ChicagoG reat Western Dis
appointment was expressed by var
ious railroad executives that the
cut was to be delayed until July l
as by that time, it was said, the
heaviest part of track rehabilita-
tion work is generally completed.
The decision last July affected
approximately 100000 men and
granted increases totalling nearly
$500, 100000 a year.

lures with a view to securing the
Salem superintendent for the
graduate managership at Eugene.
Members of the school board
and others interested in the lo-
cal school system today expressed
the hope that Mr.. Hug will re-
main in Salem. His work here, it
is said, has been highly gratify-
ing.
Mr.. Hug, who was graduated
from the University of Oregon in
1907. was one of the best known
athletes ever turned out by the
institution. For four years he
served on the Oregon football
team and in three of these years
was chosen all northwest center
by critics. For two years he was
a track and Held man and during
his senior year was president of
the student body.
1t is understood that the posi-
tion offered Mr.. Hug at Eugene

than the one which he now holds.
