COWS ARE COWS
 ON CANVAS NOW
Artists, Needing Crackers And Cheese, Are Painting Pic
 lures That Will Sell

CHICAGO, March 11.-Aware at last that crackers and cheese and gar rets cost real money-more of it each season--Chicago painters and sculptors have returned to the Orthodox school in their work, this years exhibition at the art museum discloses.
 Only two painters of the lot have re- fused to put houses that look like houses and COWS that look like cows on their canvasses. They are William s. Schwartz and Anthony Angarola, and perhaps by now they regret their here sics, for no one has purchased their pictures and the art exhibition draw eth to close.
 Three years ago freakish work began to predominate at Chicago art exhibi- tions. That is, it was freakish to those who failed to possess the real inner in stinct for unbridled expression of the soul on canvas, done through the me- dium of nightmartish colors and lines.
 Riot Of Paint, Formerly
 Two years ago the modernistic and futuristic paintings at the annual dis play made the whole art world sit up and take notice. Most people who went to the show couldn't tell what it was all about, but they were convinced that they had seen a rare riot of paint.
 But art can not live without it's crackers and milk and the sales at by gone bizarre exhibits were woefully few. And the artists commenced to realize that while they might appre- ciate their own untrammeled use of brush, color scheme, and geometrical design, perhaps nobody else could.
 Must Sell 'Em Now
 So this year the only strange paint ings are made conspicuous by their pre- dominantly conventional colleagues, so to speak. Either all the futurist and modernist artists Chicago possessed in former years have been killed off by a process of natural selection Gin art, the selection of paintings by fat per sons with fat bank accounts) or they have sacrificed their wild and free souls on the altar of the golden calf. Some of them, let it be noted, have taken wives upon themselves and either have had to go to work. or paint pictures which would sell.
 Schwartz wants about $2,500 for one of his pictures, Utopia" a painting of maidens who look cold and jaun- diced. They are flanked by dyspeptic old men. Angarola has put a price of $1,0O0 on one of his, which resembles several things. The art exhibition closes Tuesday, and the pictures are not yet sold.

IRENE ONLY BORED
 IN HONEYMOON FIRE
Appears On Street In .Faultless
 Attire At Early Hour

CHICAGO, March 11.--Irene Castle was merely bored by fire which threatened to spread to the honeymoon apartment of the former dancer and hec husband, Maj. Frederick McLaugh- lin.
 Smoke chased the McLaughlins and their two Belgian dogs to the street at breakfast. Though the hour was early, the brides attire was complete and faultless. After few minutes, the major decided to hurry away to work, though the wolf doesn't exactly scrape at the Mclaughlin portal.
 Mrs. Mclaughlin yawned and re- turned to her apartment, while flames licked away at the building and firemen fought to stop the blaze. She had seen the bread winner off to his stint.
 Madame has retired" announced her maid a few minutes later, amid the glamour. "She is bored by the fire. :"

NEW BILL TO AID
 FARMER OFFERED
Howell Would Have Government Sell Live Stock On In-
 stallment Plan

WASHINGTON, March 11.--A sub stitute for the Norbeck- Burtness bill, before the Senate, was offered today the special farm relief measure pending by Senator Howell, republican, Nebras- ka. It would provide for the expen- diture of $50,OO0,0OO for financing diversification of crops in four north western states on what the author de- scribed as the contract installment plan," similar, he said, to that used commonly by furniture stores, whereas provide for direct loans.
 Senator Howen's substitute was pre- scented just before the Senate recessed and after an attempt to have the Nor beck Burtness bill .recommitted had failed by vote of 12 to 52. He ex- plained it contemplated the purchase of livestock by the secretary of agriculture and its "sale on installment" to farm CTS. There was no opportunity for debate upon the Nebraska senator's resolution, except by Senator Bruce, democrat, Maryland, who contended the same objections would lie against it as against the measure it sought to replace.
 Debate which became at time bit ter preceded the elimination of com mittee amendment offered by Senator Harrison, democrat, Mississippi, which would have added $25, 5,000, 900 for loans to cotton farmers.
 Senator Ladd, republican, North Dakota, who had charge of the measure urged the defeat of the amendment, declaring ithad been added 'solely for the purpose of getting this bill out of the committee" Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri, immediately de. nounced such procedure, declaring it furnished the county "pitiable spec tacle."
 Senator Harrison denied that the amendment had influenced the com mittee vote, asserting the Norbeck- Burtness bill would have been reported regardless of his modification.
