of material It has ever had from a
yearling squad. OF these the out
standing men are Lusky, a tackle,
and Spears, quarter and half. Lusky
generally is believed to be a prospect
for one of the best tackles the

of the coaching staff do not hesitate
to say they believe he will this year
develop into the best in his position
in the South.

William G. CuIkins, of Cincin-

Commerce Chamber

Washington should be a great IN
dustrial city as well as the national
capital, William C. Culkins, execu-
tive vice president Of the Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce told mem
bers of the Washington Chamber of
Commerce last night at the New
Willard Hotel. He pointed to the
water power development possible
at Great Falls, Va, as the ground
for his assertion.
1t is the general belief outside Of
Washington that there are no fac
tories here, Mr.. Culkins said while
statistics show where there are more
that 200 industries and wholesale
houses situated in the District. Mr..
Culkins urged Washingtonians to
call on the people Of the States for
assistance in solving their municipal
problems.
Seventy members of the Alex

CURR|ER PRINTS
HIGHLY VALUED
AS ANTIQUES
Fetch High Prices-Maiority
of Them Crude, Gaudy
Junk" Says Critic

Currier and Ives prints produced
In New York in the late forties
and early fifties, depicting Ameri-
can scenes, sailing vessels, hunting
pictures, command high prices
wherever they are offered for sale
and antique dealers live in the ex-
pectation that sthe prices will con-
tinue to soar.
Walter Pritchard Eaton in an ar
ticIe, entitled "Junk" in the Ameri
can Mercury has this to say about
these prints: 1.-The vast majority,
crude in drawing, unspeakably
gaudy and raw in color, often
cased in ugly, flat mahogany
frames-are not intrinsically worth
carting home. When l mildly sug
gest that they are quite worthless
as art and hopelessly ugly as decor
alton, and that the same amount
of money would have bought three
etching or tWo-the new owners
look at me with a plying super
iority as upon one who strangely
and perversely cannot comprehend
the beauty of antiquity"
Commenting on Mr.. Eaton's OBJ
servation the present number Of
Antiques says that some of the
Currier prints are today selling for
many more dollars than they once
commanded cents. Are they worth
the money-artisticall or in any
other way?
"It is difficult 20 say, after ALL"
according I'd Antiques, wherein lies
the intrinsic worth Of an object of
art. Is such worth dependent upon
refinement and excellence of work
manship? If so, the most common
place Of classic Wedgwood restrikes
would outsell the finest pots ever
wrought by Thomas Toft Is it,
then, an attribute of apparent lofti.
ness of conception? If so, the Tas-
saud saints Cf BOugucreau would
outrark the homoly folk of Rem
brandt and Winslow Homer. Is it
discoVerable in relative elaboration?
If so, the era of Louis XIV would
mark the apogee OF art.
The Curriers' boast one possession.
denied to modern works-an aura.
That ts point in their favor. For
some purposes, indeed, no other pic
torial forms can quite fill the place
of Curriers', except primitive Amer
ican paintings, and these few per-
sons are as yet sufficiently cour-
ageous to utilize, or are capable of
selecting, even when their courage
Is adequate.
Even technically speaking there
are many Currier prints which are
far from being despicable speci-
ments of lithcgraphy. There is for
example, the dignified early portrait
of Lafayette. Some of the Presiden.
tial portraits are almost equally
we'll done. A number of the sporting
prints, too. will bear critical
scrutiny
But. unfortunately. good pictures
and bad alike were printed on
cheap and flimsy paper with no lux
ury OF margins, and heavy, old style
frames quite oVerpower them.

Vienna Baker Fined
$l,5OO,OOO For
Profiteering
By international News Service.

VIENNA, May 20.-A fine of
$1,500,000 has just been in
flicted on Fried, the general
manager of the Anchor Bread
Works. In addition, he is con-
demned to eight months in Jail.
His offense is that of de-
manding too high a price for
bread from March until Sep
tember, 1924.
The Anchor Works supply
the largest part of the popula-
tion of Vienna. Fried bought
great quantities of corn at
most favorable rates, and later
on calculated the cost of the
bread on the basis of the in
creased corn quotations.
AS he did not make an exces-
sive profit, business experts
think the harsh sentence in
comprehensive. And since the
judges were not unanimous in
fixing the sentence, Fried, so
far, has been allowed to go free.

money. The Federal Reserve Bank
of this district has not placed any
$50,O00,000 at their disposal. They
are financing their own operations.
Why have they not just as much
right as the farmers of Iowa to look
for better prices? Nobody is talking
about "boycotting" wheat or corn be-
cause the farmers of Iowa are taking
steps to get better price. Perhaps
it is because Iowa is far away and
Maine happens to be at our door.
There is neither fairness nor sense
in this potato boycott talk. Live
and let live. The country is pros
porous but so far the farmers are the
only class of citizens who have not
shared in the general prosperity.
Their opportunity is long overdue. In
general, the past three years at least
have been years of disappointment
and dismay for the farmer. This has
not been true of business and indus
try in general.
If the farmers, the potato growers
of Aroostooll included, can make a
little money this year we ought not
to begrudge it to them. We should
be glad to know that prosperity has
reached them at last.
