Each State Will Have Com. plete Record of War Serv- ice of Its SonS-Mad-

By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, Tue Age Herald.

Washin gton. March 1s.-(SpecialD Overcoming determination by the powerful appropriations committee. democrats and independent republi- cans today increased from s100, ,0o9 to $200,0o0 an appropriation to be utilized by the adjutant general in compiling the record of soldiers of the World war by states.
 The Secretary of War had notified Representative Hull of Iowa that the s100, 900 carried in. the bill would not suffice Chairman Madden of the committee took issue with the secre- tary. But the majority of the mem bers regarded the matter as of such great importance that they did not heed the advice of the chairman.
 The adjutant general, as soon as the appropriation becomes available. will begin his tabulation. When completed, the adjutant general of each state in the union will be fur nished an official record of every soldier of his state who was under arms either in France or this country.
 Southern members ardently sup ported .he proposed increase, and in the debate Representative Bankhead of the Tenth Alabama district, took a leading part. He expressed the opinion subsequently, that it was highly important that Alabama have a complete record of the war service of It's sons.

 "Iye been to an art exhibition" {" is the perfectly truthful reply of the Parisian night hawk.
 The art centen of Paris has shifted from the public and private galleries to the little cafes of, Mont Martre and Mont Parnasse. It is all part of the revolt of the artists against juries, hanging committees and the grasping art dealer.
 The big public exhibitions are abandoned more and more to the painters who have arrived !" The private shows in dealers rooms are being ignored by scores of young aspirants, who eomplalr> bitterly of the big commissions charged by the dealers.
 Hospitality for works Of art has been found in the neishborhood drinking emporium 1t began, if the writer is not misinformed, with 9 little two by four cafe on the Boule- yard Mont Parnasse, the fame of which instantly spread-so much so that the cafe was quickly nioknamed La Boite a Coulers (the paint box). and this name has now been official- ly adopted and hangs over. the door,
 Others -5sOiiosS Example
 A dozen or more other cafes have followed the example.
 The artists are enthusiastic about this new plan for getting their works before the public They say sales are much more rapid than under the old salon or dealer exhibition plan. be- cause while the prices charged are far lower, the artist gets just us much-often more-for his picture, as no commission is charged by the cafe proprietor.
 Another stimulant to Sales Is the fact that while to go to a regular exhibition is an effort, to go to q cafe is q pleasure and even q habit.

MARTIN ATTACKS O'NEAL' s MOTIVES
 IN SHOALS FIGHT
Declares Former Governor Owns 4,400 Acres of Land Near Florence and Seeks
 to Enrich Himself

Montgomery. March 1s.-(Spe- cial.)--Deelaring that former Gov. Emmet O'Neal owns several thou sand acres of land in the Muscle Shoals section, w. L. Martin, general counsel of the Alabama Power com pany, in an address before the Trav- elers' Protective association here today, attacked the motives which have caused the former governor to support the Ford bid for the govern ment property at that place.
 Mir. Martin charged that Governor o'Neal is moved by none other than selfish purposes in his fight for the Ford offor. and is seeking to add to his already surprisingly large speculations at Muscle Shoals Mir Martin spoke as follows
 You. may well inquire the reason for Governor O'NeaFs interest in this public question. l will tell y6u. The tax records show that he owns $500 acres in Lauderdale county and t5 lots in the city of Florence; 286 acres are on the Tennessee river be- tween Wilson dam and Dam No. g., being one and one-quarter miles from Wilson dam He owns 556 acres on the Tennessee river just midway be- tween Wilson dam and Dam No. 8, 7 and S1S6 acres 15 miles down the Tennessee river from Wilson dam
 Assessed 4,4OO Acres
 "Governor ONea1 assessed 4400 acres of lans for taxation in 1921 on which the tax appraisers placed a tax Of SS5,000. This is 60 per cent of s13e 000.
 For the present year Governor O'Neals tax assessment has not been fixed.
 Other members of Governor O'Neals family gave In for taxation Sl7 acres of land within a quarter of mile of the closest subdivision Of Florence.
 It is not surprising therefore that Governor oNeal should take such an interest in this magic city which is to spsng up overnight on the Tennessee. IL seems that he has selected lands at strategic places so that wherever Aladdin touches the lamp the rays will warm and renew the x-eovernor.
 T ask you frankly if you think ex-Governor O'Neal is exercising himself for the farmer? Or is he shouting for Congress to accept MT. Fordis bid in order that he may make a leap to great riches over nisht2
 Governor o'Nears Administration
 "You may recall that when the ex-governor was governor his admin istration did not stand out con spieuously in constructive service for the people.
 You may recall also that toward the end of Governor ONeals stormy four years he engaged the Montgom- cry theatre to address another mass meeting. From press accounts of his address he must have cried out against what he termed the base and vile rumors and islanders which engulfed him. Today age is creep- ing on him and the sunset of life is lengthening the shadows behind him. One would think that his three score years and ten would have be- gun to mellow him. but instead he is 2 found unmoved by any considera- ton of truth or fairness or justice toward others. shouting his sland- erous outbursts of vituperation to the people of this and adjoining states with none other than d selfish pur- pose to add hundreds of thousands of dollars to his already surprisingly large Specula tionS at Muscle Shoals p

PARIS ARTISTS NOW DISPLAY THEIR CANVASES IN LITTLE CAFES WHILE
 DEALERS SHOWS ARE IGNORED

The regular shows close at nightfaii just when most people begin to have few leisure hours. And even when prospective purchaser does get a chance to Attend gallery show, he feels that he must see all, the pie tures in the brief hour that he has to /spare. and the result is he gets no opportunity to fix his attention on any particular one,
 On the other hand, he sits down at the cafe with a beer or vermouth, and lets his gaze wander over the walls. A picture strikes his fancy, and he studies it. He comes back the following evening and takes a table squarely in front of the pie lure that has attracted him. After several visits, perhaps, be buys it. The artist is happy and the cafe pro- prietor is far from displeased.
 Prices Are Lower
 The writer has seen pictures in some of these cafes priced at 300 or 400 francs which compared favorably from every point of view with can vases offered by dealers at 1000 or l,500 francs.
 Moreover, one does not see the horror" In most of these cafes that one sees at some of the big salons-such as the independents, for instance.
 There are one or two cafes that specialize in frightfulness, but the rest are careful to maintain a cer- tain sobrety while not excluding the new art The reason is that a the independents anybody can ex- hibit--a cab driver may hang up his horse blanket and call it tapestry, if he desires. Picabia. in fact, at the current show, has a bare canvas with pieces of string arranged on pins.
 So when hubby comes home at 2 a. m. with a little more cognac than he can comfortably transport, it is quite possible that he has been in dulging somewhat too diligently in the study of art.

 Curtain only Guide
 Now, alasl There is nothing to guide the spectator except the 1all of the final curtain which means that he is caught in frightful jam at the exit and has to fight the bowling mob at the cloak room
 The Casino de Paris, which rivals the Polies Berigere in the affections of the foreign visitor and the French provincial, carries things to such an extreme in it's new show that one of these semi-nudes is on the stage when the curtain rises, and the patron who has dined a bit unwise- ly and lost track of the time, isi apt to get the disappointing impression that the show is already over when he arrives.
 And the exhibitions of the female form divine continue almost without intermission throughout the per formance.
 The Casino hit on the expedient of calling it's revue Paris in L'Air"- Paris in the air. The title has no sig nifieance except that. the first scene deals with aviation Nand there are pallets representing. the winds weather, rainbow, oh, yes, and clouds
 It just happens that the French for cloud-"hue"-is also the femi nine form of nude" And so the ballet girls who represent the 'nues' are--well, the reader can guess.
