developments today in the railroad strike.
 Union Pacific trains, which were tied up in Nevada. on the Salt Lake Los Angeles road, began moving shortly after noon when Big Four trainmen, who had gone on strike. returned. Two of the trains were at Las Vegas and it was reported Gov ernor Boyle of Nevada had left for tbat point to take charge of the sit uation.
 The two daily Western Pacific trains were annulled because of strike conditions at Oakland and Stockton, Cal, where brotherhood men had refused to work while armed guards were retained. One Western Pacific train was abandoned by it's crew after reaching Stockton today
 Men Return
 Other developments in the strike situation were:
 The Southern Pacific company with four trains stalled at Ogden by a strike of firemen, reported that the men had returned to work when the conductors objected to the strike. The firemen asked that the company re- move armed guards and repair its rolling stock, which, 1t was claimed, was dangerous to operate. The com pany said it expected no more trouble at Ogden.
 On the Santa Fe system trains re- mained halted at Barstow. Needles and other desert points. Late reports placed the number of stalled trains at 12. The company was making eff forts to relieve the passengers. some of whom were suffering from the ex- lcIssive heat. which was 120 degrees at sorie points.
 Fruit losses resulting from the strike are reported heavy, particu- larly in the San Joaquin valley. where one Fresno shipper estimated grow CTS today lost 500 cars of green fruit, valued at $500,000 as result of the embargo yesterday by the Southern Pacific. California fruit at present "on the rails' en route to eastern markets consists of approxi- mately 2,0O0 cars, valued at around s1. 900 each. Approximately 10000 carloads remain In California to be packed.
 Peace Moves Set Back
 Peace moves through the brother hoods in southern California were given setback when D. E. Vrayne, general chairman in Los Angeles ot the Brotherhood of Bremen and En- gineers, said he 'could not and would not order the men under his jurisdic- tion to return to work" He said 1t was an individual matter when the men left their work as individuals que to hazardous conditions ot em- ployment
 Bomb throwing was resumed in the railroad yards at Rosevill and san Bernardino early today, five being hurled into the Southern Pacific wards at Rosevill and four into the Santa Fe yards at San Bernardino. No one was seriously injured, all though two officers at Rosvin re ceived slight wounds from guns when they attempted to find the bomb throwers.

Mentality, Not Sex,
Is What Counts in Art

Miss Fenton sat in her studio at
1923 Chestnut street, where she
works from early morning until late
at night. The sun streaming down
from a high, small window lit up
her smooth dark hair, melted into
the pale brown gold of her smock,
and sent a slanting ray across her
slim smooth hands which were
clasped in her lap.
Miss Fenton's dark eyes were very
serious as she talked, for her work
is serious thing to her, and moth
ing which concerns it is matter to
be taken lightly.
cart should be sexless. 1t is men,
tality that counts and not whether
the artist is a man or woman" she
said.
To her right, against the wall, was
a plaster cast of "The Seaweed
Fountain" which stands in bronze
at the 1T of Lemon Hill in Fair
mount Park and which has probably
met with the greatest popular ap-
proval of any of Miss Fenton's work.
"No, don't think being woman
Is a handicap to being an artist"
said Miss Fenton. "lf you have
brains, what does it matter if you
are a man or woman? When l
was a student at the Academy there
was good fellowship-a cam
araderie, suppose you might call
it--that was absolutely impersonal.
1t did not matter who did the work,
just so good work was produced.
And the men were as willing to give
credit to US as they were to man
In the class.
Sometimes, though, l suppose
women gain fame just because they
are women, but again think recog-
milton of their merits is withheld
for the same reason.
"Artisiir training undoubtedly gives
broad vicwpoint,' continued Miss
T"nt"n. 'Of necessity we get down
to the fundamentals when We study art.
More than any other kind Of training,
artistic training means self develop

'And ! don't believe in artistic
training only for those who intend to

and her youthful ambitions crystnllizcd
into u wish to become great sculp-

the Fine Arts and the School of In
dustrial Art.
Her father, DR.. II. III. Fenton, who
was at one time president of the Art
Club, had friend, Thomas Atkins,
who helped the young girl and cncour-
aged her in her ambitions.
Miss Fenton has exhibited at the Art
Institute of Chicago. the Art Museum
of Kansas City, the Fine Arts Gallery
in Buffalo, the Academy of the Fine
Arts of Philadelphia, the Plastic Club
and Women Painters and Scuptors'
National Association. She has also
contributed to exhibitions arranged by
