the faces in the moon.
The sculptor, familiarly known as
Vet Anderson, has done impor-
tant work as a caricatuiist. Readers
of American newspapers will remem-
Der the clever cartoons he made to
illustrate the articles of John Ken
drick Bangs, always signed by
little rooster. with vet written In
the tail feathers.
At an early age he Travelled from
a small country town in Michigan
to New York, where he worked on
the World, the Telegraph and the
New York Herald The Columbian
Exposition at Chicago, in 1893, set
his mind to working along art lines,
and he decided to take studio in
New York.
The Spanish war and later the
last European War interrupted his
studies until the Spring of 1917,
when he once more started cartoon
work in London and then came to
Paris to study at the Julian Ac-
ademy.
Anderson has done many sta
tuettes, the most famous Of which is
probably the one of Billy Sunday,
done in Philadelphia. At present
he is busy with head which will
be called Happiness, and he in
tends to keep on doing this symbol
istic work, making figures which ex-
press human emotions.

Paris, June 21.-The talk of the
Salon des Artistes Francois, which
has just opened its doors to art
lovers, is the work of an American
sculptor, Jesse S. Anderson, of New
York City.
This import work is called
Memories and is ali old woman's
head, with pictures in relief figur-
ing III her hair-dream- pictures of
an cid lady looking back over full
life
Twenty figures cover the head On
the upper part, in the hair just
drawn away from the forehead, are
girlish ones representing her child
hood. Then comes young maiden
hood, young couple kissing, placed
very near the ear, as if the old lady
were listening back for the sound
of this very kiss. Another couple
this time figures of later life. On
the side are middle-aged couples,
with children, and farther back,
running into the nape of the neck,
are grandparents, with their off
spring.
The face itself is an interesting
one, with figures within it which
must be carefully studied out like

THAT SUBSIDY BILL.

One of the strongest speeches
agaiL st the proposed bonus to ship
owners kr Jwn as the Ship Subsidy
bill was recently made by Represen-
tative Ewin L. Davis of Tennessee,
who has made a special study of that
subject.
Judge Davis arguments against
the proposed ship subsidy may be
summed up as follows:
THE Ship Subsidy act will cost
$3.50, 100000 in subsidies and aids
within the next ten years in addi-
ton to the loss on the sale of mer-
chant ships and $125, 100000 to
recondition the vessels.
1.-The estimated returns from the
sale of ships, which cost $4,000, 000,-
600, will be about $500, 100000, the
people sustaining a loss by deflation
of $2,SO0,O00, 900.
1T is contemplated that the com
panies which purchased the ships
will capitalize them largely in ex-
cess of their cost to them and sell
the stock and bonds to the American
people.
1.-THE bin provides for the elimina-
tion of the Army and Navy trans
ports so as to require our troops,
munitions and supplies to be carried
in privately owned vessels without
distinction in time of war, giving to
the ship owner about $7,500,000 per
annum the Pacific alone, $1,000
900 of which would be net profit.
1.-The Ship Subsidy bill is SO
drafted as to strip Congress of the
power of legislation and of appro-
priation, and to usurp powers now
exercised by the President and mem
bers of his Cabinet
These are but few of the main
points covered in Judge Davis's pow
erful argument against the bill.

crop THE COAL STRIKE.

The reported intention OF the
Secretary of Labor to undertake the
task Of bringing the coal operators
and miners together for peace
conference is timely, to put It mid
IL. The public has been anticipating
sofne such action for weeks.
II there was anything to be gain
ed, economically or politically, by
4 hands-off policy, that is certainly
the case no longer. The strike has
run for nearly three months. Coal
reserves are near exhaustion, and
viii not last another month. In
dustry is threatened, and in some
cases is said to be already slowing
down. The operators. at first re-
luctant to meet the miners, are be-
coming FESTIVE, and would probably
welcome an invitation now to meet
them under the auspices of an i'm
partii government.
1t does not matter whether action
taken by Secretary Davis. or any
other federal official, is official or
unofficial. as far as the government
is concerned. The. main thing is
to get action in a place where ac-
ton is needed, and stop the nonsense
Of a great key industry marking
time while industry in general is on
the march and afraid of a halt being
called for lack of fuel
II the two parties to the dispute
can be brought together, in mind as
well as body, peacefully and volun-
tarily, SO much the better. If not,
they ought to be brought together
anyhow. If persuasion fails, it will
soon be time to use a big stick.

OIL PLAN MAY HIT SNAG
Industrial Court Law Has Something
to Say on Curtailment

The Kansas oil men who joined
the conference of mid-continent oil
operators at Tulsa last week in
agreeing to curtail production of
crude oil may find themselves in
trouble with the Kansas industrial
court.
The reports of the Tulsa meeting
indicated n general agreement to
shut down all drilling operations and
curtail production as much as pos
sible in order to boost the price Of
OIL The price question was the
only excuse offered by the oil men
for the proposed action.
Oil is quite large item in the
fuel Of Kansas. At the present time
some of the railroads are using oil
almost exclusively for fuel and oil
Is the chief fuel of nearly all or the
light and water plants in the state.
The law creating the industrial
court has some very specific pro-
visions regarding activities such as
the oil men are proposing Section
3 of the law gives the court control
over the mining or production OF
any substance or material in COM
mon use as fuel either for domestic,
manufacturing or transportation

says work on the project east OF
