THE WILFUL LIAR
BY ARTHUR EUGENE SMITH

The feast was done and. one by one,
The weary guests departed;
on dais-seat with crossed feet
The Sultan sat sad-hearted.
Before him rose a clown in clothes
(Like Jacobs coat) fantastic;
And. one by one, his tales he spun
Whose truths seemed quite elastic.
Whip off his head" the Sultan said
His tongue is his undong
And in our schools are there not fools
Whose tongues will be their ruin?"
Whip Off his head" the Sultan said.
tRoused was his senseless ire)
cor humankind though lame and blind.
God hates the wllful liar."

COAL SUBSTITUTES
FOR REST OF MONTH

Although the supply OF anthracite
held by local dealers was increased
about 200 tons today over yesterday.
by arrival OF several shipments. deal
ers and members OF the state Coal
Commission reiterated that consum-
ers will be obliged to accept and use
one-fourth substitutes for the rest
OF the month at least.
Emphasis was given this reiters-
ton by the prospect OF a severe cold

stays mild and no storms affect
transportation and deliveries, Il is
believed that everyone will be able
TO obtain sufficient fuel to carry
them through. A spell OF bad

Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
; NEW YORK, October 6.-Director
Edward Robinson of the Metropolitan
Museum yesterday refused to take
seriously assertions by John c. Van
Dyke, professor Of the history Of art
and archaeology at Rutgers College,
that only 80 Of the 500 pic
lures attributed to Rembrandt we're
really the work of the Dutch master.
The statement was made in a book
Just published by Prof. Van Dyke.
II have not seen Prof. Van Dykes
book" said Mr.. Robinson. "but, judg-
ing from the newspaper account of 1t,
he seems to be less generous in his
Judgment than DR.. Bode. who once
said: Rembrandt painted about coo
pictures. of which there are 1000. in
America In either case the Metro
politan Museum seems to be in good
company"
DR. William Won Bode is a cele-
brated German authority who is said
10 have authenticated several Of the
Rembrandts in the Metropolitan.
OF the art dealers In New York who
are familiar with Rembrandt's work
and have handled his pictures. sew
.'rat agreed that many RembrandtS
were fictitious, but none was SO
sweeping in his statements as DR..
Van Dyke.
DR.. Van Dyke said yesterday he was
engaged on a similar hook with re-
apect to the paintings of Rubens.
Between 1900 and 1000 paintings
are attributed to RubenS, and / hope
to show just which of these are really
The work of Rubens and which are
those of his pupils" said DR.. Van
Dyke.
Rubens and Rembrandt are not
the only painters whose names have
been assigned to hundreds of works
done by others, according to DR.. Van

STANDARDIZED HOMES
!. SAVING UPON WOMEN
Difficult Problems Of HousAwork
Can Be Solved, Model Houses
Demonstrates.

1t is curious fact. that although
during tho last half century the ma
tion's experts have made countless
studies of labor-saving devices in in
dustry. Of improving working condi-
tions and Of installing better sanitary
equipment and guarding the health of
the workers, there has heretofore
been no concerted effort to apply ex-
pert knowledge to improving the con-
ditions of the homes In which some
100000 women of the country do
their daily work. Home standardiza-
ton, therefore, while not desirable as
an ultimate ideal can be of immense
help in the present social develop
ment- of the country.
The value of the 500 or more model
homes opened under the auspices of
the Better Home in America cam
paign lies chiefly in that they are
samples which millions of home
workers and owners can visit and
from which they may get many new
and useful ideas. The very fact that
they are the combined efforts of eX-
perts in all branches of home making
and home keeping gives to persons
who want better homes a new inspi-
ration toward the achievement Of
their own ambitions by showing them
how the most experienced home build
ers have solved difficult problems.
