SNAKE FIGHT IS
BIC EVENT EVENT Al At
KENDRICK

fight between a rattle snake and a
/ bull snake was staged on the base
ball grounds at Kendrick recently for
the enjoyment of a throng which 'had
been summoned from far and near to
witness the battle royal. OF the
fight, the Kendrick Gazette has this
to say:
The snake fight which took place
on the ball grounds Tuesday, proved
to be a very peGceable affair. A
rattlesnake was brought in from the
Cedar creek country the first of the
week. The promoters of the fight
already had two bull snakes. Widely
divergent opinions were expressed as
to the outcome of the fight.
At 6 O'Clock Tuesday evening the
reptiles were escorted to the ball park
with automobiles, a ring was formed
and the smaller of the two bull snakes
turned loose with the RATHER. Instead
of a fight it apparently was a renewal
Of friendly relations,
The snakes Struggled up to each
other and were the best of friends.
Even the RATHER seemed to be in good
humOr.
The big bull snake was called into
the ring. He was nearly six feet long
and almost twice the size of the rat
tier. He didn t create a favorable

CHILD QUICK TO
ACQUIRE WORD
KNOWLEDGE
Average Babe of 4 to 5 Years
Uses About 100
Words

One of the most interesting dis
coveries, resulting from the laboratory
study of human bein0s nv psychOlO-
Eists, is the almost incredible rapidity
with which child gains its vocabu-
larry. The average child from to 3
years of age employs about 100
! words, and, if proper names are in
cluded, the number is more like 1000.
The foundation of the intricate Ian
guage habits of the adult is to be
found in the cries Of the inf-nt.
One investigator has recorded the
following sounds during the first thirty
days of a child IS life: NJ in CON
junction with "a as ina (at), m as
nga (nat), g SIS gah, h as i'll ha
| (at), 'r' rs in burr, very slight sound,
and ~ as in yah (at). Vowel sounds
are % as in owl, sc as in fell, 90
rs in pool, "a as in and and a as
in father relatively rare)."
JUST LIKE PARROT
The first words learned have no
more significance to an infant than
those that a parrot utters have to it.
Hearing a child make some instructive
sound remotely resembling a word, its
parents, ever anxious to have il speak
as soon as possible. reiterate that
word many times. In this way words
like "ma" and "pa ~ are acquired
Words having a definite association
with objects or actions are learned
much later. The process is believed to
be as follows: A child desires some
object beyond its reach, as, for in
stance, a rattle, becomes restless and
cries; its mother endeavoring to find
out the cause of her child s discom-
fort, hands it the rattle, saying, Baby
want a rattle? Here is tootsie-woot-
sie's rattle. Receiving it, the child
stops crying. The same process is re-
peated many times, and gradually the
child begins to understand that by
saying "rattle' it can get that partic-
ular object much quicker than other
wise. This to be sure, is only q rough
description of language acquisition.
AT the end of the first year the av-
erage child has a vocabulary of about |
eight or nine words. During the see
ond year thore is an increase to from
$50 to 300 words, and some of the |
children tested had a sommand of up |
to 400 words. AT the end of the third |
year children have a vocabulary of
about 800 words BY the time they
are 4 or Az years old they actually
employ about 2OOO words After this
age the extent of a child s vocabulary
becomes more and more dependent on
its environment
TALKING is THINKING
An interesting factor in the Ian
guage habits of children is their uni
versal tendency to talk almost contin-
ually. The talking child is, in reality,
thinking. 1t is only after social train
ing has exerted itself that the child
abandons auditory thinking for "si-
lent thinking This conception of
thought, while not thoroughly estab-
lished, has at present the weight of
observation in its favor
Some adults have never got over the ,

the brief list of technicians in love
with technique ends. The men who
make the atmosphere of the place are
all for the truth and the world we'll
lost.
DIR. Johnson's philosopher admitted,
half-shamefacedly, that "cheerfulness
was always creeping inn We can't
help wishing that beauty would always
creep in. But the truth, boldly set
down, is an inspiring thing by itself.
On this occasion it is particularly COM
forting to note the boldness just men
toned, the vigor, the masculine direct
ness and force. There isn't an atom
OF charm about the two big portraits
Mr.. Bellows sends to the show. but
there is no denying the exhilaration
III the power they express. So 1t is
with the paintings by Mr.. George Luks,
Mr.. John Sloan, Mr.. Eugene Speicher
and Mr.. Rockwell Kent. They have
a kind of rough strength in them if
they have nothing else. The modern
ist group has, inevitably. something to
say for itself, through Messrs. McFec,
Halpert and Maurice Sterne. 1t is not
on the whole, at all inspiring. Mr.
Sterne Is more amusing in his draw
lngs than - painting. There is q
slight, engaging sensation to be drawn
from the painters in another category

theory, but have some technical ac-
complishment and are content to paint
likable pictures. These practitioners
are such MN as Jonas Lie, who is get
ting finer quality into his paint, as
witness the sky in his "Sycamores in
storm"; Hayley Lever, Paul Dough-
erty and Reynolds Beal. Mr.. r. C.
Friseke's Girl at Her Toilet" is trihe
disceneerting. What. we wonder, is so
daintily decorative thing doing in this
robust galley?

that, despite rather limited space, it
contrives to achieve variety. Mr.

suggestion here of the progress he
was to make in the meditation of tone.
Form, rather than color, we should
say. was for long time his major
problem.
The Salmagundians have made this
so admirable an affair that VIC would
not be ungracious about an item in it,
but We must confess that we long to re-
hang the pictures, placing them in a
sequence governed by their dates.
Some such disposition of them would
have placed the last touch to their
historical usefulness. Ono would have
seen then, at glance, how Murphy
enriched his tone, giving it greater and
greater depth and quality. AS a mere
picture maker we are not sure that he
was as evenly progressive. "The Last
Glow" for example, which seems to be-
long to his middle period, has a charm
of composition which Is seldom en-
countered in the landscapes he painted
in more recent years. 1t is q pattern
in brown and gold, exquisite of it's
kind. The later pictures, compared
with this and with certain others, con-
firm the judgment expressed more

tended toward somewhat hammered
mode of painting.
just SO long as he retained the
impetus declared in his early draw
ings, an impetus toward the accurate
delineation Of tree forms, he gave an
absolutely convincing body to even his
most freely synthetized Impressions
1t slackened when he crystallized his
habit and painted too many "Murphies."
These last arc often beautiful pieces Of
tone. On the other hand good deal

pears to have been squeezed out of

that the show makes these clear

Menard. But before the charming
"Hydrangeas" we think only of Mr. de
Glehn, and as matter OF fact, after
some reflection, we apprehend the
other panels with the same freedom
from old associations, they are painted
with such instructive zest, with such
command over. form, with such true
decorative faculty. If there are reser-
vations suggested by any of them it is
in the case of "The Birth Of Venus"
which is a bit overcrowded Only the
excess of motives in this keeps it from
being brilliant success. lille En-
chantee" evokes no reservations at all.
1t is in absolute harmony with it's po-
etic title, a romantic landscape en-
livened by figures in perfect proper
ton, unobtrusive actors in an imagi-
native scene. Mr.. de Glehn is nowhere
more felicitously the master of his
instruments than in this lovely design.
