BY FREDERICK J. HAsKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 80. -
A few years ago a customer happened
to step into a picture-frame store in
this city and ask the young son of the
proprietor if he could make a pair of
those new-fangled plaster book-ends
which were in some of the novelty
shops then beginning to spring up in
Washington. The young clerk scratch
ed his head and said he ''reckoned" he
could. From that accepted commits
sion has grown up in half a dozen
years one of the largest businesses in
the world which has for its purpose
the bringing of really fine art within
reach of the people.
The clerk did not realize then, when
the customer made his unusual re-
quest, that destiny had stepped in
through the door of the dusky little
shop; yet today, six years later, Frank
Niepold, the former clerk, has wide
recognition as an artist with a genu-
inc talent. Wealth is coming to him.
Such critics as John Sargent, the
famous portrait painter, have placed
their approval on his work. And
Frank Niepold is only 80 years old.
The business which he and his faith
er and two brothers now conduct is
called the manufacture of Borghese
reproductions. 1t consists of taking
the loveliest designs and art objects
of the Italian renaissance period and
adapting them, through reproduction,
to household use and ornamentation
today.
A few years ago in this country
objects of such beauty could be seen
only in museums or in the private col
lections of wealthy men. Today any
one for the expenditure of a few dol
lars can own one of these ornaments,
an art object authentic in everything
except age-and even that is cleverly
initiated. So successful are the Me
pold reproductions that retailers sell
| ing them sometimes advertise them as
| imported goods, unaware that the
modern craftsmen of Italy and France
are not producing anything as fine as
these.
When the original customer who
wanted the book-ends had left the
shop, young Niepold began casting
around in his mind for something thai
would do. He was even then from his
own study capable of designing a suit
| able piece, but there was not need
at the time for original work. In the
stores there happened to be piece o.
rather heavy picture framing of a de
sign which Niepold admired. From
this he simply sawed out two like sec
tons, painted and finished them, GOV
cred the contact sides with felt, ant
placed them in a show case to avail
the return of the customer.
While they were there, another Gus
toner noticed them and asked for /;
pair just like them. 1t was obviou!
that here was an object for which
there was a demand. Meanwhile, how

partly because many persons bear n
superstitious prejudice against having
it in them houses.
Accordingly the Niepolds took a
hint from the product called carton
pierre and began working toward a
casting composition that should serve
their purposes. Others were working
along the same line; and as a result
there has been evolved a new CONNER
citl substance. the use ofSwhich has
rapidly spread in industry. In the
unfinished state it resembles stone,
and in this state it is used for making
mantlepjeces in houses. Half the fine
electric lighting fixtures produced to-
day are made of this substance, sub
shutting for the brass of which prac-
tically all fixtures were made few
years ago. When the liquid compost
ton has set, it is so hard and tough
that objects made of it can be dropped
to the floor with an even chance that
they will not break.
The Borghese reproductions owe
their appeal probably less to their
shapes or to their designs that to
their rich coloring and finish. The
colors are subdued and blended per-
fectly by the eye of an artist. The
secret of the art of making faithful
reproduction lies in the finishing after
the colors are laid on. 1t takes a

SAYS the Chicago Tribune. HE bases that con-
clusion on figures which show that immigration
of the best European stock, which has done much
to upbuild America, is insufficient under the
present program.
'"That contention may be true, but there is a
legitimate question as to whether changes in the
per cent restriction would correct the deficiency
of high class immigration. The facts are that
the per cent limitation is keeping out hundreds
of thousands of undesirable aliens who seek ref
uge in this country from chaotic social, political
and economic conditions abroad. But under the
same law the peoples to whom Mr.. Davis refers
as desirable are not filling their quotas In other
words, the per cent restriction is not keeping
them out of America, because less than the per-
mitted per cent is DESTROYS to come here.
''When, therefore we begin to tamper with
the present law we are likely to be laying our
selves open to the danger of bringing in more
undesirables and no more desirables. The only
way in which the latter can be brought in in
larger numbers is to offer greater inducements
or greater facilities for the move.
"Any such proposition must be considered
very carefully, lest it involve us in unpleasant
relations with the countries from which we limit
immigration or lest it open the way to a greater
influx of undesirables. IT, as he says, selection
other governments, that is point worthy of
consideration, but whatever the results of that
study may be- no changes in the law should be
permitted to open our gates to a horde of unde-
sirable aliens

Auto Solves Social Problems

The automobile is steadily solving some of
our social problems; our people are able to get
out of congested districts and construct their
own homes in suburbs; to stretch the suburban
homes from streaks of mile on either side of
the railways to five miles," declared Secretary of
Commerce Hoover recently. Our country schools
are coagulatng from the inefficient single teach
er to the consolidated class school-already
10000 of these are due to the automobile. With
one-third the total number of cars in daily use
by the farmer, one cannot condemn the automo-
bile either as the perquisite of the rich or the
extravaganza of the farmer. The farmer is able
to purchase in larger markets and participate in
the joys and sorrows of town life The automo-
bile is responsible for over hundred items of
utility and social progress"

Perhaps he is right, but there's one

About seven times every year
By this thing or that or the other.
We wonder that it is still here.
It has been completely disrupted
By dancing, by Knockers and such.

And by women smoking too much.
As far back as we can remember
The country has marched to its

Incurable ills have beset it
And pointed the way to it's tomb.

urgent,
But still the old flag is not furled.
