Tade Styka, Making Portraits
for Cong. Hines, Has Won
Notable Fame Abroad.

An artist who Is unafraid to en-

long enough to reproduce on canvas

liant young Polish portrait painter,
who is in Washington for the puf-
pose of making portraits of mem
bers of the family of Congressman
Joseph H. Hines, of Ohio.

Stirred New York.
Without assuming that Washing

of art-circle sensations who is just
in his thirty fourth year, a brief
outline of his career may not be
amiss to the casual observer.
Only a few months ago jaded old
New York itself was asking "Who
Is this Tade Styka" when his ex-
hibition of portraits at the Knoedler
Galleries stirred art enthusiasts to
point almost outrivaling that
reached by their fellow critics of
the old world.
Styka was born in Paris in 1889,
son of Jan Styka, the famous
Polish historical painter. At the
tender age OF fourteen he gained
prominence by exhibiting full-length
portraits of y his celebrated father
and the still more celebrated Rus.
sian mystic, Tolstoy. These re.
markable paintings aroused acclaim
for him in the Societe des Artistes
Franchise, and the European art
connoisseurs knew that another
genius was not only in the making
but had positively arrived.
So Styka comes by his talent
of a parent who had gained recog-
milton half a century ago. At the
age of four he asserted his prefer
ence for the brush and from that
suspicious commencement down to
the present day, Styka has con-
stantly fulfilled the brilliant prom
Use of his childhood.
Like the true artist that he is,
Styka prefers to portry the beauti-
full and inspiring faces of the fem
mime persuasion, but he inherits
also from his father a fondness for
wild animal painting-thus the

HATS To
Be RACE At
DEAUV|LLE
Smart Shops Already ShoWingI
Bonnets From Madagascar
In Gay Colors.
BY ALICE LANCELIER.
Cosmopolitan News Service Staff
Cnvresnondenf.

PARIS, April 21.-Grass hats
from Madagascar are going to be
the rage at Deauville this summer.
The smart shops are showing
them In all colors,, but there seems
to be only one style of shape. 1t is
of good size. plain woven piece
which folds away as neatly as a
Panama hat. The edge Of the
brim finished off with a grass
fringe which casts becoming
shadows over the face.
No trimming Is called for except
for a jaunty ribbon about the
crown. Most of the models come
with simple twist of the grass
or a braided band. A few smart
women put on a real flower and
one sets her pet parrot on the side
for a very original bit of ornament.
Like everything else this spring
the grass hat is a gay one. There
are the brightest shades of scarlet,
purple, green and blue, with a few
mixtures and the ever popular
white which, by the way is so shiny
and glazed that one could easily
mistake 1t for spun glass.
The grass hat will be a popular
one for many reasons. 1t is as
light as a feather, splendid sun
shade for the beach and country,
not at all unbecoming and so cheap
that every smart woman will pack
several colors in her summer
trunks when she leaves Paris.

Amos Pinchot Threatens Tour

condition of Martin Tabort's body,
describing it's scars and sores, with
the intention of refuting testimony
that the North Dakota lad died
from pneumonia, were scheduled to
appear today before the legislative
committee investigating convict
treatment and peonage conditions in
Florida camps.
Judge w. J. Kneeshaw and G.
Crimson, Dakota attorneys assist
ing in the probe, promised to pro-
duce other eye-witnesses to the fog
ging of Tabort, his treatment dur
ing the subsequent illness and prep
aration of his body for burial.
Commenting on the letters of
Amos Pinchot. New York philan-
thropist and brother of Governor
Pinchot CT Pennsylvania, members
Of the legislature expressed APP
prevail of Pinchot's attitude and the
conviction that bills at present be-
ing enacted, or considered, would
erase the blot of convict cruelties
from Florida.
Threat of Boycott.
Pinchot wrote Mrs. ". s. Jen.
nings, vice president for Florida Of
the National Federation of Won
ems Clubs, and Miss Elizabeth
Skinner. president of the Florida
Federation of Women's Clubs, as
we'll as members Of the legislature,
saying a boycott of Florida by tour
lists and sportsmen would be set on
foot if convict conditions were not
corrected.
There seems little doubt that the
present legislature will repeal all
laws authorizing leasing of convicts
to private corporations and individ-
uals and enact rigid laws prohibit
ing fIogging of prisoners.
The house has gone on record, 65
TO Is, in adopting the Davis amend
ment to the leasing abolition bill,
making 1t unlawful to whip any
county prisoner.
Eager for Correction.
The senate, 81 to ], adopted the
MacWilliams bill to do away with
convict leasing. A measure pro-
posed by Senator Stokes, chairman
Of the investigating committee,
making it unlawful to whip any
prisoner in the State, has been
made a special order for next Fri
day in the Senate.
Both houses seem eager to lead in
the corrective legislation. Any
steps not taken when the investiga-
tors complete their probe, will /

Desmit," where members OF the ca
nine family are given equal promi-
hence with their human superiors.
In keeping possibly with the ca
dence of modern times, M. Styka
is a revelation in studio rapidly.
He works with a surprising alert
ness and seldom requires his sub
jects to undergo the tedious sit
ting process more than four or five
hours all told.
For instance, M. Styka does not
block in nor outline his subjects,
but. Immediately he has his back
ground. begins to paint; so that a
half hour after he has commenced
the observer can recognize the sub
ject.
For this easy manner and agile
procedure the finished canvas GER
tainly does not suffer, and it is adj
mittedly doing away with a hard
ship to not require his subjects to
pose over long periods of time
sometimes running into months in
the case Of most artists.
Won Success Early.
When M. styka was barely in his
twenties, his three paintings of
Chaliapine, Ruffo, and Caruso won
him unstinted praise.
Henri Rochefort. one of the lead
ing French critics of the present
time, has said of Tade Styka:
II am proud to have been the
first to proclaim the genius of
Corot, and I am experiencing the
same sense of pride in predicting
a wonderful future for young
Styka.
M. Styka employs a unique plan
in his remarkable portraits, as COM
parison of the originals with his
Painting reveal. He is less con-
cerned with achieving a photo
graphic likeness than he is in re-
vealing the inner personality or
soul of consciousness of his sub
jects. This quality readily ex-
plains that constituencies and depth
of feeling in his work that instant
ly arrests ones attention.
The thoughts, emotions and char
acteristics are effects which he
seeks to leave in his work, and
they alone engage his analytical
genius. The mere reproduction in
oil of a beautiful face has no in
terest for this seeker of the deeper
mentality.

CURB ON
SUPREME
COURT
lWomen's Trade Union League
Takes Initiative to Bring
Conference to D. C.

The conference Of women TO
protest against the Supreme Court
decision multiplying the District
minimum wage law will be held in
Washington May Is and IA.
May Ask Court Curb.
The National Women's Trade
Union League has summoned rep
resentatives from q large number
of organizations, including the Ma
tional Consumers League, the Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, the ma.
tional organization of business ana
professional women, to meet here at
that time.
Plans for the conference have not
been completed, but 1t is believed
that number Of distinguished pub
lie men, such as Senators Borah,
La Toilette, Isadd and Brookhart,
and Congressman Frear and Hud-
dleston, will be asked to address
the meeting. It is possible that the
protest to be made at the confer
ence will be developed into ma
tional movement to curb the power
of the Supreme Court to declare in
valid acts of Congress.
Views on Remedy Differ.
Senator Laid of North Dakota
recently declared that this "usurped
power" of the Supreme Court could
be modified by Congressional
statute, and that an amendment
to the Constitution would not be
necessary. Senator La Toilette takes
the same view. Senator Borah pre-
sents a somewhat different propo-
sition-a proposal which would
make it possible for the Supreme
Court to nullify an act of Congress
only when seven out of the nine
members agree that it should be
nullified. The divergent views on
this question will be threshed out
at the conference.
The question of whether the de-
cision. of the Supreme Court invali-
dating the District minimum wage
law also invalidates the similar State
laws also will be taken up by the
conference There is a conflict of
opinions among lawyers on this
question. A number of States joined
with the District Of Columbia Off
Gals in defending the minimum wage
law, but it has not yet been made
clear that the principles laid down
in the court decision apply to State
as we'll as to federal statute.

There may be differences of opin-
