In art-1ust such group, though
smaller, as that gathered at Mrs
Eustls yesterday afternoon-and
through the enthusiasm thus enkin-
died the American Federation of Arts
the great national organization
which has done much since for the
advancement of art throughout the
whole United States, was formed
Among Mr.. Pfoulke's fellow workers
were the late Robert Bacon, Frank
Millet and Elihu Root.
These organizers of the National
Association ware urged to action by
seeing many things done wrong which
should haVe been done right. At tkat
time, the speaker said, there was no
National Commission of Fine Arts nor
was art on the free list There was
no possibility Of ecuring through any
channel an expression of public opin-
ion in matters pertaining art.
THE American Federation of Arts
said Miss Mechlin, has chapters all
over the United States-370-repre-
senting an enormous contingent mem
bershtp. 1t has also individual mem
bers in over a thousand cities. Art
is now on the free list. A National

Ire of Depositors Who Lost

By Consolidated Press
DIES MONIES, December 1.-THE
curtain has fallen on one more SEN
sational slice-of-life drama, in which
II boy wonder" OF finance startled
the countryside with another spec
tacle of getting rich quick.
Isadore Lucchesi, erstwhile vice
president of the now defunct United
States Bank, idol of Des Moines night
life. spender de luxe and Lothario
extraordinary, is willing today to be
the guest of the Polk County Jail.
There Isadore is drawing the first
free-and-easy breath he has known
for many months, for there alone, he
knows he is safe from the wrath OF
depositors. He has waived aside all
proffers OF bonds which would tenn
porariIy set him free. Jail looks good
to him.
Fast Pace Alleged.
A desire to reach the highest So
cial pinnacles, combined with love OF
pretty faces and a penchant for gam
bling-alI of which could not be ca
tered to on a young bank employe' s
salary-are blamed for this alleged
delving into the banks funds.
Lucchesi offers but two explana-
Cions for his admitted downfalI-one
the bromide alibi of wine, women
and son." and the other the frank
admission, Il was too young for the
job
OF Italian lineage, "Izzy," as he was
known here, was the idol of his
countrymen. He had worked VI
quickly from a post as teller to as
ststant vice president. His pleasing
personality and rare aptitude fol
making friends soon won him the
direction of the banks foreign de-
partment. and he drew TO his bank
the largest Italian patronage in the
city.
Given Money TO Handle.
The new patrons: many Of whom
could not read nor write English,
placed implicit confidence in him and
daily handed him large sums, asking
him to do the rest"
Meanwhile Izzy became a dazzling
figure in the city's night life. The
divorce his wife obtained from him a
year or two ago, leaving him free
from incumbrance as husband and
father, only served to heighten his
pace. His tempestuous love affairs
became open secrets.
on october % the bank closed its
doors. LucchesI was nowhere to be
found. 1t was reported he had been
murdered.
This past week the bank opened its
doors long enough to settle with its
customers. THEN it was disclosed
that thousands of dollars recorded by
Lucchesi in the books of Italians
failed to appear in the bank ledgers
Further investigation revealed other
irregularities, the total of which still
IS uncertain.
Late Wednesday Lucchesi, well
guarded by deputies, arrived in Des
Moines from Memphis, Tenn, where
he is reported to have lived for the
past six weeks under an assumed
name. The familiar smile was lack
ing-until he got safely behind the
bars.

NOTES OF INTEREST

God gives every bird it's food, but
He does not throw it into it's nest.
When a mans motives are right he
can ignore the maneuvers of his in
feriors in ability and motive.
There is never a time when bus
mess man should stop advertising
except when he decides to go out of
business.
Deferred action in making your val
ues known through the medium Of
consistent advertising means deferred
prosperity.
Do little more than is expected of
you and do it little better. Start
in doing it right now and keep ever
lastingly at it.
