as she draws them with too many lines,
so she builds them up with too much
flesh. Yes, feshly is the word. Her
fauns are not precisely romantic. 1t
is natural that they should be earthly,
but the point is pressed shade too
far. Yet even as we make these reser-
yations we are conscious OF the vita

vokes them. Only type OF genuine

positions, preliminary studies for itho-

portfolios. There is one piece, q Dead

form. 1t Is thoroughgoing, construc-

the helpful convenience of numbers or
titles we will not attempt to particu-
larze to any extent, but We must point
out the rccum bent nude in red chalk
hanging near the window, in which the
Rubens-like form is rescued from
heaviness, or the seated nude in
crayon on the same wall. The first
impression We get from these and
similar drawings is one Of form under

battle. Knowledge is wonderfully

modernlsis would do we'll to ponder.
With that for foundation Mr.. Sterner

be designated academic. As matter
OF fact it is wholly free and personal
Only it is subdued constantly both to
the artists feeling for truth and to
his respect for the imnlcmoral tradi-

rately and finely, to keep in mind the
famous "rectitude' OF Ingres. 1t never

from all Of these Mr.. Storner seeks to

New Hope group, and he has had
hitherto something of a group manner.
Now he seems to have enjoyed q new
gust Of energy, to have seen his winter
landscapes with G fresh eye and to
have painted them with more than his
wonted skill. They are mostly low IN
key, rather drab in atm ospheric tone.
This does not rob them of charm On
the contrary, the truth Of these pie

not all of the operators could be in duced to deal again with the union The union, he insisted. would not and could not settle the dispute in other states until the basis had been es- tablished for a national wage level
 The committee deciced to appeal direct to the representatives of the operators groups in the states named and MT. Lewis tonight declared 1t had been put forward a proposition worth consideration.
 However, I have no notice of what operators will do."
 Defends short Week
 During the hearing today Mir. Lewis defended the miners union proposal to establish a 6-hour day and 5,days week, one of the demands originally made, scouting as "ab- surd." a calculation by Representative Black. democrat. Texas. that this would occasion an extra annual cost of $244 100000 to the public for coal
 However, if we discuss any of these demands around a council table with operators" Mir. Lewis added ."and practicability and reason ableness cannot be demonstrated for them, the demands will fail"
 olStuSsiH6 thc HlStOtN Ol Ndbt Hc- gotiations, Mir. Lewis aamplified the repeated charge that the bituminous operators of the central field had broken a contract with the miners union in failing to confer with it's committees for new wage scale be- fore the strike. This, he said. in agreeing to suggestion by Repre- sentative London, socialist, New York, really gave the strike all the aspect of lockout"
 Mir. Lewis arranged later to leave for New York to continue the unions negotiations with anthracite opera tors. The reasonabieness of the fu- ture wage was the chief issue here, he said.
 In reply to question from Repre- sentative Black. Mir. Lewis said the basic day wage" in coal mining un- der present conditions was S750 a day as compared with s2.S4 in 1913, but the scale in the latter year, he added, was a pauper standard"

 ID COOPERATE AT { FEDERAL HEARING
Will Present Evidence at Ses- Sion of the Interstate Com merce Commission Con-
 Cerning Class Rates
By FRED H. GoRNLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age-Hera1d, 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, April Special. )-- Plans were made in Atlanta Monday by representatives of the railroad and public utilities commissions of the southeastern states whereby the states will cooperate in the presen- tation of evidence to the interstate commerce commission favorable to the states in the general hearing re- Earding class rates into, from and between all points in the territory of ten southeastern states. Hugh White, secretary Of the Alabama pub lie service commission, returned to- represented the public service com mission.
 States which will join in the CO., operative agreement are Virginia. North Carolina, South Carolina, Ala bame, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee. Mississippi and Louisiana. All the states were represented at the con ference except Kentucky and Louis- jana.
 The Southeastern Association of State Commissions voted to accept the invitation of the interstate com merce commission to name a com Dnittee which would sit with the fed- eral commission during the hearings involving rates in the ten states J. A. Perry, member of the Georgia commission, was made chairman of the committee and was given au- thority to name four others.
 It was also decided to name a steering committee of ten. one from each state and composed of commis- sioners or rate experts, to assist in the preparation of information which the states may desire to submit to the interstate commerce commission.
 Railroads To Testify.
 The first hearing of the case brought by the federal commission will be held at Atlanta May 22 when the railroads will offer testimony. This hearing vii continue about 30 days. according to preliminary an- nouncements. after which hearings will be held at Ashevlle, N. C., and New Orleans, New York and Chica- go. The state commission will be given ample time for the submis- sion of such testimony In opposition to the railroads testimony.

COMMITTEE HEARS GOVERNMENT PLAN
 IN INITIAL SESSION
CabaniSS Receives Report on City ManagerShip Form Junior Chamber of
 Commerce

Taking up the cudgel of the Junior Chamber of Commerce for a better form of city government in Bir- mingham, the citizens committee of 100 held it's first meeting at the Chamber of Commerce last night E. H. Cabaniss presided and the report of the Junior Chamber recommend ing city managership was re- ceived
 The first step of the committee was to pass motion directing the chairman to appoint sub commit tee of nine to thrash out all forms of city government and to report it's finding back to the committee at the next meeting to be called by the chairman. This motion was made by Dr. H. A. Blkourie and amended as to the size of the committee by John W. Altman.
 Borden Burr suggested that 1t would be a waste of time to appoint an-' other committee to consider the forms of municipal rule. He moved that the chair appoint a committee to draft legislative bill providing for an election to determine the wish of the people on the matter of city government. His motion was not pressed on the plea by Mir. Altman that more time should be given to a study of the various forms before the question Is placed before the leg islature.
 Although there was general sen timent expressed in opposition to tho rifV mic ccfo -;t icism arose of the city manager plan as submitted by the Junior Cham Ter. In answer NJ. H. Sterne, chair man of the Junior Chamber of Com merce city government committee said that the committee had investi- gated for months before making recommendation.
 [ In the investigation, Mir Sterne said that the committee correspond ed with every city of 50000 or more population in the country.
 He stated that the salaries and du- ties of the city commission are not sufficient to attract men of the highest calibre to office. City man agership, he said, has been used by the city of Dayton, Ohio, for the last eight years with entire success. More than 300 towns and cities, he added, now have city manager gov ernment.
 Irving EnEe1 a member of the Junior Chamber committee, outlined the city manager form as proposed. II includes, he pointed out, mayor elected at large, who is president of the council; a city council a city manager, a city attorney. a board of education and a city planning board. The plan also included civil service for all the employees except depart ment heads and their secretaries and the principles of initiative, refer endum and recall.
 After the Junior Chamber commit tee had finished it's report, Judge F H. Dryer raised the point that the election of the city council might depend on who would be selected city manager. For that reason he suggested that the plan should pro- vide that the city manager be se- lected at the end of the councils term rather than at the beginning.
 M. NJ. ullman said that unless members of the council were elected at different time there would be no continuity Of policies in the city gov

 During the Atlanta conference the Southern Traffic league also held a meeting in reparation for the hear ings.
