A Region of Gains.

IN sailing in certain parts Of the
oceanic area near the Equator
sailors speak of the region as the dol
drums, or region of calms." The area
is usually characterized by absence of
wind, but may be visited intermit-
tently by battling winds and local
thunderstorms. The doldrums shift
their position with the season. In
July, August and September they are
farthest north. and in January, Feb,
ruary and March farthest south.
Within these areas the temperature
is higher and the humidity greater
than anywhere else on the ocean, and
the surface of the water is smooth
like glass. with a thin layer or scum
or oily waste, such as Is seen on stag.
nant water.
Before the accurate charting OF
these areas the doldrums were the
dread Of sailing vessels. which In
earlier times were frequently becalmed
there for weeks at a time. The posi-
ton Of the doldrums between the re.
gions Of the northeast and southeast
trade winds had led to the belief that
the upper currents which move with
the atmosphere in it's general circula
ton from the equatorial regions to the
poles have their starting point there

colony is divided into three classes.
The first is the annual dues of the
MacDowell Association, dues ranging
from 50 to 500 a year. But the asso-
citation is small. the dues are limited
and the expenses are large. Under
this head might be placed the absurdlv
small sums that artists pay for sleep
ing quarters. food, studios and other
comforts.
. Then there are the donations to the
general fund, gifts by interested peo-

not as large or as many as they might
be.
The spectacle of this earnest little
colony passing through financial
crises year after year, often rescued
with difficulty by new sacrifices on the
part of Mrs. Mcdowell is a reflec-
ton on sincere art patronage. The
dream of the colony Is to have the

ALEXANDRIA STUDIO AT MACDOwELL COLONY

One Of the most valuable acquisi-
tons of the colony IS housed in the
Lodge. II is the bequest of his plano
and his valuable musical library. one
of the richest in the world in Bach
and Wagner, made the colony by the
late William Henry Humiston, one Of
the greatest music critics that Amer
lea has ever known. He was also a
remarkable composer, a pupil of Mr..
MacDowens and generous sup
porter of the colony plan.

house all are what city folks would
call early riserS and usually 10 o'clock

and there they work without Interrupt
ton until the late afternoon shadows
fall. At noon, Giovanni. a sunny
young Italian who is part of an eX
cellent corps to handle the farm
work, takes the baskets OF lunch and
the thermos bottles in his gallant auto
truck and plays Little Red Finding
Hood to the colonists, stopping at the
door of each studio only long enough
to drop the particular basket and bot
tie on the doorstep.
On the rare occasions when these
trained workers fail 10 beguile the
muse into musing, there are spicy
paths through the woodland. rosy
apples on the orchard trees that en-
circle the Lodge. and bracing air on
the hilltops TO stir up temporarily
sluggish or weary brains and give
them new impetus. There is no loaf
ing or idling at the colony. however,
and it Is the rare exception when a
visitor walking or motoring through
the grounds, finds a stray colonist
tramping along out Of the alluring
captivity Of his or her respective
studio.

NO mention of the colony could be
complete without an attempt to

drama, education. science or soci
ology," has Mrs. Mcdowell done
much of her work. She has not
stopped there. however. but with a
genuine gift for renovation. she has
remodeled almost impossible houses
into delightful, homelke dwellings.
With a wizardry al gardening, she

" HE Mcdowell Colony at Peter

many aspiring artistic colonies
Il in that it has unswervingly
remained true to the one, I'M
usual purpose for which 1t was or
gained namely, to encourage and
assist creative talent in any one of
the fine arts.
This colony is not a philanthropic

not beautiful haven for those who
have achieved success to go for va
cation where they can hang their
laurels and have them admired by
The casual tourist. Above all. there
IS no semblence whatsoever of the
educational in the makeup of this
colony; il is essentially a laboratory
for skillfully trained and talented
artists to work in, and produce def
mite accomplishment.
A score of, studios, scattered over
500 acres of ine-studded hills, and
central colony house which has the
dining room and sleeping quarters for
most OF the colonists, provide the
workshops and community recreation
for those who are fortunate enough to
be among the chosen 60 to work In
turns of several weeks each in the
studios. This year there were more
than 300 applicants each duly
Vouched for by two prominent artists.
Each of these applicants had at least
one definite achievement to his or her
credit and many OF those who are
granted this privilege are already
firmly established as recognized art
lists.
Owing to the fact that the Mac
Dowell Colony was founded as an
outgrowth of the appreciation OF Ed

Visitors Drawn to Rome by

Rome, April 5.--The influx into Rome of thousands of Holy Year pilgrims and tourists, drawn here from the usual early spring resorts by reports of the unusually fine weather, is rapidly restoring to the city its pre-war position as one of the most interesting of European capitals,
 Again the Seven Hills look down not only upon the Eternal City, the traditional home of the PspaCy and the custodian Of the empires relics, but also upon dourishing modern city which keeps. it's rank among the first metropolises of the world with a surprising economy of effort.
 For example, Rome's best shop ping thoroughfare. the Via Condotti, would be lost in Fifth avenue. In fact, it would stretch hardly more that two blocks of that fine avenue. l. could be tucked away in Bond street or in the area between Regent and Oxford streets of London, and it could never be found in the miles Of shopping streets of Paris. And vet Roman men and women of the better classes are as modishly and as smartly dressed as any the world over.
 Rome's greatest avenue, the Corso Umberto, is never widen than roomy alley, and scores of the city's streets are hcritages Of the middle ces with no sidewalks and hardly com for two carriages 10. pass each Iher. And vet Rome has some of 70 finest and most luxurious motor

 The committee, Tn again hearing fes. Mabct Walker Willebrandt as ..tanl attorney general in charge
 prohibition enforcement work ,Hs carried into some of the tech licali'ics Of law that are making tie hard for tho new coast guard .um patrol and at the same time, she said, too easy for vessels that ire seized for violations,
 Because small craft under the stipulated fivc-ton burden are exempt from the regulations apply ing to large vessels outside the lhree-mile limit, Mrs. Willebrandt said practically nothing can be done 10 them when they are caught with a liquor cargo outside that limit. To remove present difficult lies in taking action against Ameri- can ships caught with liquor outside the three mile limit. in view of the supreme court decision that they do not constitute territory, she urged that congress make it a 'crime for American vessels 10 transport liquor under the American flag" outside that limit.
 With rum row fifteen or twenty miles off the coast, the witness said, lhe only course open to the coast guard Is to watch the American boats that come out from the shore and get their cargoes from the parent ships of foreign registry"
 'If the coast guard waits until they get their cargoes," she added, "it can not possibly pursue them into the three mile limit, because their boats cant match the speed of the rum runners"
 Consequently" she continued. tuE Duly llllli6 lltS tdn tIO IS tO hope some other craft will pick them up when they get back to the three mile limit. That is like scat tfrlnS shot; but if the coast guard could lie off rum row and catch our own boats when they get out there, We would have an effective remedy.'
 Mrs, Willebrandt also cited an old admiralty statute by which, under "substitUte bond" arrangement, she said, seized vessels are permitted 10 20 their way and continue opera lions after putting up bond which they get down as low as possible
 When the case comes to trial the only thing involved. she said is the hond and if the government wins that is the only thing forfeited She recommended that the condi- tjon he remedied by amendment of 10 statute,
 In inc hearing yesterday of both ITS. Willehrandt, and James J, Britt ,uneel for the bureau, the commit
