Exhibitions Held
In Various Galleries

John Taylor Arms is one of those
American print makers, like Mr. Ruzicka
and Mr.. Murphy, who make steady
progress with each year. All three are
now doing excellent work. and the pres
ent exhibition OF Mr.. Arms etchings
and aquatlnts in the galleries of Ken
nedy & Co. is thing necessary to be
seen.
His command over etching is notable
and some Of his plates of New York
subjects rank among the best of the local
product. He has a relentless eye. seeing
the rigging of ships and the wires of
modern bridges with uncanny distinc-
tion. but this does not interfere with his
breadth of view. His etching of the
Brooklyn Bridge and the downtown
skyScrapers seen from a crowded pier.
are admirable: and so. too. are the
lake scenes, evidently done in Europe,
achieved in flat and delicate color.
c. E. writes of him in the foreword,
truly enough:
I'm his etchings Mr.. Arms shows a
wide range of subject matter and meth
ods of handling it. landscapes achieved
with vigor and knowledge and love of
the forms in nature, foreign scenes por-
traying with keen feeling for the pictu-
rescue and appreciation of the beautiful,
and New York as the Manhattan dweller
sees it, hard, majestic, strong in its
businesslike side, and fairylike. COM
pelling in the elusive beauty of its sky
line.
Altogether. Mr. Arms has achieved a
great deal and will achieve even more.
His versatility is remarkable. his mas
terry of craftsmanship keeps him from
the all too prevalent modern lack of 1t.
and his appreciation of the beauty in all
that surrounds him gives him wide
and ever growing vision"
The "Dialis" is a group of young
painters who bid for fame at the pres
ent moment IN the gallery of the Civic
Club. Fame does not always come at
the first bid, but nil desperandum is as
good a motto now as ever Ii was. The
artist who stands out most clearly from
the group is l.. Huber, who is not unin-
aginative and whose use of color is odd
and arresting His Road Through
Life has genuine feeling. He evidently
has difficulty making his earth BEHAVE
exactly as he wishes U mean that
touches are occasionally out OF value)
but then, so did Albert Ryder at times.
II Mr.. Huber be a.young man. as seems
likely and has the resolution to culti-
vate his own muse and not other peo-
pies, he may cut considerable Ilgure.
His Evening is rich in color, curiously
applied. His paint loses the quality of
paint and suggests the sheen Of silks and
velvet. It's amateurish but sincere.
Mr.. l.. w. Quanchis Mystery" Is not
without decorative power. but seems
hammered and self-conscious compared
with Mr.. Huber's canvases.
Clifford W. Ashley. who is exhibiting
in the Arlington Galleries, has q special
interest in the calling of the men who go
down to the sea in ships. but it is not
clear that he cared enough to actually
make their calling his. That is, he
paints the ships tied up at the docks

his ups and downs. but when he is UP
he is very fine. His decorative sense
is sure. He has curious splashy way
of painting, avoiding most of the edges,
but putting some of them In with start
ling distinctness. Its strangely like the
obliterating and revealing tendency that
the snowstorm itself mas, and Mr..
Sprinchorn must have learned II up there
in the woods. Having learned 1t, he now
applies it to summer scenes as well.
Mr.. Sprinchorn's peregrinations in
search OF the picturesque have led him
to California, and. of course, to Paris,
and in both places he had a good time,
though not so good time as he had In
the Maine woods. One of his finest
gouaches is a stunning portrait OF
Henrie Waste. the distinguished autho-
ress of a system of philosophy recently
published by Longmans, Green & Co.

quenters Of the movies. and generally
there's white horse just appearing
from behind pine tree, and the pines
themselves are so heavy with snow
you have to guess they are pines. and
the woodsmen who oblige the artist by
posing are clad in colors rich as soft
enamels.
It's abstract but it's healthy and fine
You don't have to persuade young
people that snow is fine, its only their
elders who are afraid of It. They
know that it's impossible to be knee
deep in northern snow without feeling
glad you're alive, and If you're very
young and don't happen to be doing
boresome chores for dad, why it's i'm
possible not to shout aloud and prance
about and play snow games.
Mr.. Sprinchorn is no longer an infant,
but he preserves the boyish faculty for
lyricism, and so his snow pictures are
real poems. Like John Marin he has

An India proof of fine wood engrav-
ing is something that will in a few
years have the value OF a rare i'm

anything about wood engraving and.
fortunately. he is also very much with
us. His blocks after the old masters
are famous the world over.
The first comprehensive exhibition OF
artistic wall papers ever held in America
is now on view at the Art Center.
In the days of our Colonial forefathers
men We're proud OF their wall papers and
a gayly pictured wall was then consid-
cred as indicative of true refinement and
culture.
Several OF the fine old Colonial papers
are in the present exhibition at So and
67 East Fifty-sixth street, while many
of the most splendid patterns date back
to the old regime in France.
The art Of remote ages and the results
of modern industry are blended in this
exhibition of wall papers at the Art Cen
ter. In many of the finest machine made
papers there is seen the influence OF
those creative artists of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries who painted
delicate and exquisite designs on beau
tiful silks in their poetical empire OF
the Mings. These designs, imported to
Europe were first reproduced on small
decorative panels and later were adopted
as patterns for wall papers. Little did
those talented artists of China realize,
600 years ago. when they made their
wonderful drawings of birds and flowers
that day was to come when the fine
tracery of their quiIl and brush would
be reproduced by the mile in various
adaptations on a machine for q face Of
people which did not then even exist

and the various picturesque motifs

does the actual sea itself. All of his
marines are rather pale. but Mr.. Ashley
bursts out into full enthusiasm and full
color when he paints the houses and
shipping of such ports as New Bedford.

exhibiting in the galleries of Dudensing
& Son. Mr.. Reiffel works in Connecti-
cut, and rocky pastures enclosed In
stone wall fences appear in many of his
pictures lie has good color at his COM
mand and a nervous touch that imparts
considerable vitality to his most sue
cessful canvases. He is always sincere
and he has fine feeling for the glare
of light. II is the sort of work that

members of the committee appointed by
the Academy are Timothy Cole, Childe
Hassam and Joseph Pennell, chairman.
Many who remember the best days
OF American wood engraving will be
glad to hear that the art is not alto
gether thing of the past Among the
men still at work associated with the
old days is John w. Evans. whose block
engraved after the drawing by James
r. Kelly in Scribners Monthly in 1879
created something of sensation. Mr..
Kellys drawing of Sheridan's Ride was
quite modern in its vigor of action and
boldness of drawing, and Mr.. Evans
engraved 1t with equal vigor.
w. ]. Linton, who was the Joseph
Pennell of the wood engravers of the
SOS. said is was bad art and bad en-
craving. but it proved a great success
and led to much more interesting era
of illustration.
Another famous wood engraver OF the
time was Frederick Juengling, who was
even more of an innovator than Mr..
Evans. He broke away from conven-
tional ways and engraved some blocks
that showed even the brush marks in
the artists painting.
Mr.. Evans is still engraving on wood
but his work is confined to cutting large
blocks after some famous painting. He
has recently completed a block after
one OF j. Francis Murphy's landscapes
One of the younger men who is carry
ing on the traditions is w. C. Watt,
whose work is also identified with the
engraving of well known paintings. He

Says Mystery Suicides
Are ShOlCing Increase

NEW YORK. Dec. 2O-(By a. P.)
of the more than 5000 persons
who committed suicide in this
country last year, a greater number
than ever before sought 10 cast
mystery over the manner Of their
going. declared Dr. Frederick 7.
Hoffman, consulting stat.st.cian Of
the Prudential Life Insurance Co.,
OF America, IN an analysis OF suiCi-
des in 1921 made public tonight.
ITO an Increasing extent" said
the report the facts and circum-
stances are deliberately confused to
make the verdict Of death from ac-
cldent the only alternative. In a
majority Of cases, however, the sur
rounding circumstances are sugges-
tive Of deliberately planned self
murder. Cases of accidental poison
ing accidental falls and accidental
ahOOt.ngs' are becoming more pre-
valent.
But the most appalling aspect
OF the present day suicide problem
is the recurring frequency with
which others are drawn into the
tragedy OF murder, and under con-
ditions which are frequently re-
voting"
DR.. HOffman's report presented ia

United States Declares Inter

Not Necessary.

LAUSANNE. Dec. 2O.-By A P)
Both Turkish and allied delega-
tIons relaxed in their attitude today
and discussed control Of the straits
in such conciliatory spirit that there
s. every indication some sort Of
straits convention may be signed in
a very few days.
The note OF the United States de-
c.aring that - does not regard an
international commission as neces-
sary undoubtedly bore fruit, as Lord
Curzon gave careful consideration

would consider international inter-
ference with Turkeys affairs as
worse than death" An agreement
likely viii be reached exempting the
demiMtarized zone along the straits
from control by the proposed inter-
national commission which will have
jurisdiction only over navigation Of
the straits. leaving even the pilOtage
10 the Turks.
Wants Further Guarantees.
Ismet Pasha also pleaded for fur
ther guarantees for the safety or
COnstantinoplo than those which
would be afforded by the League Of
Nations and proposed additional
guarantees similar to those given
10 the Aland islands. He insisted
that Turkey must have further as
surances from the important powers
individually and collectively that
her territory viii not be violated.
He accepted in principle the funda-
mental provisions for control Of the
straits outlined by the allies but
pleaded that Turkey must have her
sovereign rights thoroughly safe
guarded.

statement Of he Turkish position,
said Ismets acceptance of the gen
