Ernest Roth's s Etchings Are Being Shown Now
 at Little Art Gallery
ny JOSEPHINE NIXON HENLEY

N MoNG all the delightful exhi- A\ bitions of pictures shown by S = the members of the Alabama Art league, at the Little Art Gal lery" in the Watts building, the love- ly series of etchings by Ernest Roth, which are now being displayed. are of distinct and notable interest.
 MT. Roth is a well known artist of New York, whose series of Span ish etchings is now being exhibited jn the Keppel Art gallery in New York city
 The etchings displayed here are, for the most part, pictures from Italy, where AIr. Roth worked for several years. They give wonderful glimpses into foreign lands and disclose tho spirit and structure of picturesque countries marvelously beautiful, and they show old houses. quaint court yards, market squares and many characteristic scenes.
 In the collection ara included a number of pictures disclosing scenes 3n Florence One of them. Grim Florence" is said to be one of the most artistic of tho collection. It do- picts the habitations of the traders of centuries ago, now the tenement district of the poor majority of Florence.
 The capacity to show in his etch- jngs the buildings and what manner of people inhabit them is one of the artists serious qualities, which Mir. Roth possesses to a high degree. One Upon looking upon his pictures feels that the artist has for a time be- come a Florentine.
 From a purely technical point of view the picture called 'Fiesole,' from San Francisco, is one of the best etchings made in the last few years, showing that Roth is not only good, hut among the best etchers of the present time.' says Herbert c. Pell, the distinguished art critic.
 These etchings will be on exhi- bition tomorrow and Saturday and through next week, but will be closed this afternoon on account of Mrs. Beecher's reading.
 Mrs. Charles II. Caldwell is chair man for this exhibit, and will ar range special program for one aft ernoon next week.

years, months and q days, died in
a sanatorium in Washington, D. c.,
on Sunday. January 29th, to which
city he had been taken for
treatment by his son Joseph D. Ash
by, several weeks ago. Mr.. Ashby
was born on June Sth. 184S, and was
the son of William Williams Ashby
and Helen Thayer Ashby, William W.
being one of the first white children
born in what is now Garrett county,
his father and mother having come

JOEL ORENDORF

Joel Orendorf was born in a loo
cabin on the farm now owned by n.
h. Hershber, near Grantsville. Md.
March II, 1847, and died at his home
near Jennings, January 26th, 1922,
at the age Of "a years, 10 months and
Is days. He was a son of the late
Christian and Barbara Swartzentrub-
er Orendorf, both of whom were born
in Germany. A more extended trac-
ing of his lineage, which may afford
information of more than mere per
sonal interest to the observant read
er, is herewith submitted. This is
beyond question an authentic account.
christian Orendorf, son of the
Mennonite John Orendorf and his
wife, Anna, maiden name Refer, was
born April Is, 1893, in Marzhausen in
the Electorate of Hesse, and in the
18th of April, 1899, from the BALI
wick of Frankenburg, in Hesse, re-
ceived a pass to Bremen" Difference
-Bailiwick Frankenburg, Electorate
Hesse, appendix Church Book, Ros-
enthal, Hesse.
The deceased spent practically all
his life as far as known to the writer
in the confines of the county of his
birth. He was a man of above av-
erage ability as a thinker and medi-
ative reader In his mature years.
while bodily strength permitted, he
was an active participant in Sunday
school endeavors and frequently oc-
cupied the role of speaker in the dis
eussion Of such subjects; and his
place in the regular church services
was seldom vacant Early in life he
confessed Christ as his Savior and
united with the Amish Mennonite
church, in which communion he died.
In his temporal affairs he was a
farmer Of moderate scope and means.
And we believe he was upright and
honest in his dealings with his fellow
man.
Physically, he was of medium size
but not very robust in health and fire.
quently was afflicted with illnesses
of various degrees of severity which
he bore with great fortitude until a
little more than five years, ago when
he became critically i'll and suffered
excruciating pain and then under
went an operation in a Baltimore
hospital. This was successful and af-
forded great relief, but during the
last year his health again failed and
recently an internal cancer manifest
ed inself, from which he suffered
much, his condition having been only
semi-rational for about a month.
He was married to Sarah Ellen

5, 1871. Unto them nine children

She was a member of the Presbyter-

funeral was from the home of her
brother, James Chisholm, who re-
sides on the old homestead, with in
terment in the family cemetery, the
services being attended by a large
number of Borrowing friends and rel

PROHIBITION AND THE BABIES

An official of the Child Welfare
League of America announces that it
is no longer as easy as it used to be
to secure a baby for adoption. There
is a scarcity of babies not only be-
cause of the practice of birth control,
due to the over-sophistifcation of the
modern young wife and husband, but
to the fact that poor families are now
able to take care of themselves on
the savings effected through prohi-
bition.
Those who rave at prohibition as
an intolerable limitation of human
liberty think only of the limitation on
the freedom to drink. They do not
consider sufficiently that nobody has
a right to absolute liberty in a civ
ilized community where everybody
must sacrifice something for the COM
mon purpose of making civilization
viable. The father who was free to
drink in the old days too often left
his children no freedom but the free
dom to starve.
Anti-prohibitionists object to, as
they say, trying to make people NOR
al by statute. In the abstract they
can make out a good case. But in
terms of life, especially of life as it
must be lived by those who have the
hardest kind of economic struggle to
make ends meet, their arguments be-
come wind and fury,signifying moth
ing" before the single fact that pro-
hibition is putting food into the
mouths of babies who would have
starved without it.
