DIGNITY KEYNOTE
OF AMERICAN LIFE
Revolutionary Period Noted
+ for Serene Beauty.

The Metropolitan Museum Of Art Of
New York city, in opening new wing
devoted exclusively to American In
teriors and American furnishings and
furniture, has made a graphic contri-
button to that work Of Americaniza-
ton which is one of the pressing needs
Of the time. A hastily judging world
has chosen to regard American taste
as representing everything that was
tawdry and grotesque; it is apparent
that the misconception arose from
taking the manifestations of our
crudest era as typical Of national cul-
ture In the longer range. Nothing
more absurd than the domestic arts
of the latter half of the Nineteenth
century was probably ever known
the era Of what-nots hair-cloth furni-
ture, Rogers groups, and lambrequins
In interior decoration; Of brownstone
fronts and cupolas and mansard roofs
In architecture; and Of mustache cups,
"hand-painted" cuspidors, and gold
\ tOothpicks in personal bric-a-brac. The
great injustice is that these things
have been too widely accepted as rep
resenting the height of American ar
tistic achievement-as characteristic
of our civilization as the Parthenon
to Greek, Versailles to French, and the
work Of Christopher Wren to English.
The great truth brought out by the
new American wing is that these gro
tesqHeries represented merely tenn
porary slump, phenomenon not pc
culiar to this country; the fact Is that
they were merely part and. parcel Of
that Victorian commonplaceness and
stupidity that was almost as marked
in England as in the United States.
The one quality that was so con-
slant in Americans Of the colonial
Revolutionary period and which is not
SO apparent in their descendants, was
kind Of serene dignity. 1t appears
In the wainscotting of a Virginia
home, in the delicate doorway of
New England mansion" in the quiet
beauty Of Gilbert Stuart canvas, in
the lovely productions of the New
England and Middle states cabinet
makers. 1t is the same trait that is
uppermost in the lives and writings Of
the Revolutionary leaders Jefferson,
Madison, Washington, Franklin, Ham
ilton and the Adamses.
A dip into the life of Jefferson
with his Greek and Latin authors Tin
the original tongues) at his side. his
taste for French philosophers and
statesmen, his never-failing diaries,
duly recording the daily progress Of
his vegetables and plants, as well as
the visits Of European statesmen,
writer's and generals, his horseback
wanderings amid his neighboring
mountains, and all the other innu-
merable details of placid and
thoughtful country existenee-is need
ed properly to supply the personal
side of the architectural and artistic
setting which this great museum has
SO splendidly provided. Yet, even
without this, Americans can there
learn that their ancestors were a dig
ni6ed people, and it is lesson worth
while in an age Of automobiles, jazz
and radio.-World's Work.

GOOD s;':::s:

When you buy baby-chicks, the
following facts are, we believe,
worthy of consideration: No chick
is offered for sale from this
hatchery except from hens we
have seen and approved. and are
glad to take any buyer for chicks to
see the flo k from which the eggs
came. You pick or approve the
quality before you pay for them.
We have only a small hatchery. it
gets the b ST attention. possible and
you can not buy healthier chickens.
We take % days to hatch them.
Tembt: never above 100. and no
chick ever came from an incubator
stronger, Its the new idea, as the
BUCKEYE have perfected.

CITY LEAGUE TITLE
SERIES IS ALL SET

The City League baseball race will
reach its climax at 3 o'clock Sunday
afternoon when Umpire Del Gotten
strides out upon the grass at Block
Stadium, announces the batteries, and
tells the Public Service Utilities and
Pittsburgh Water Heaters to 20 to it.
They have gone through a season
schedule Of fifteen games each, these
two clubs. Each ended up with a total
of thirteen won and only two lost.
The Heaters, fighting desperately,
succeeded in tying it up when they
downed the Utilities in an exciting
struggle last Sunday.
President Wuest, after holding a
lengthy caucus with himself Wednes-
day morning, finally came to a de-
cisiOn as TO exactly when and where
the deciding games shall be played.
Following the first game Sunday
afternoon, the two teams will meet in
Il dOuble-header starting at 2 o'clock
Monday afternoon. In the event that
they stand even following the second
contest, each having taken one game
the third and deciding game will go
seven innings TO decide the title.
If it rains Monday, Labor Day,
the winner Of Sundays game will
be declared the champion. II il rains
Sunday, one game will be played
Monday afternoon for the title. If it
rains during the progress Of the third
and deciding game, the team which is
ahead at that time will be awarded
the title, even If only one inning has
been played.
In case the count is knotted when
that third game is called on account
Of dampness, then the rival captains,
Grover Weikel Of the Heaters, and
Sterling Browning Of the Utilities,
will probably spit at a chalk mark.
President Wuest failed 10 make that
provision.
On the other hand, il il does not
rain ut all everything will be lovely.
Ted Stabl has been appointed at
the second arbiter in the series.
