ON APPRI1CIATING JOHN \, SARGENT

The personal point about the paintings of John s. Sargent is- how many are you familiar with? How many of his originals have you seen? Have you seen and admired his Pageant of Religion" covering the walls of the entrance hall at the Boston Public Library? Or when you were in Boston last summer did you go to a ball game instead?
 Great paintings, like great music or great literature, are appreciated by tho comparative few. But those who understand furnish enough on. thusiasm to keep artists happy.

BY CHARLES P. STEWART NEA Service Writer

Washington, April IS. - This is supposed to be a quiet place when Congress isn't in session. The truth is that more connubiating goes on at the national capital when the bulk of the lawmakers are scattered over the fact of the country than when they are on the job, talking themselves black in ;he face and occasionally passing a bill appro- pTiating money, creating fresh political snap, or prohibiting some thing it always was all right to do before.
 What Congress does, when in ces- sion, is to carry out the plans framed up by a few leaders during recess periods. wlsen they have plenty Of time to sit down quietly and think and chat - 10 spcechify - about the things they'd like to put through.
 So. rcccss-time though this is, there's continual dropping in and whispering and scattering and get ting together again of this little group or that These meetings are important, too. They don't attract much attention just now, but their results will, when Congress recon venes in December, or somewhat sooner, If an extra session is called.
 
 The War and Navy departments are planning more secrecy for fu- tUre arms, ordnance, aviation and other military tests. The proposed ban would deny publicity except as officially authorized, to any such demonstrations as the sinking of the battleship Washington, tho more recent anti-aircraft gunncry trials at Fortress Monroe, or the earlier bombing Of the condemned German war vessels. concerning which so much was said in connec. ton with the Mitchell controversy Publication Of details or photo. graphs other than those given out by ihc departments themselves will ho prohibited, if officials have theil ] way.

THIS IS AN AGE OF
BIG BUSINESS

Another big merger - this time banks. Three of them joined hands in New York the other day, form- ing a new and larger institution. A similar merger took place some time ago. Banks hate to be com paratively small and compact now adays. Capital and surplus must run into big figures, thus making an inspiring impression. Overhead is reduced and expansion faciIi- tated. Capacity to compete with other large banks Is strengthened.
 All kinds of mergers seem to be on tap nowadays. Even an assort- ment of New England ice cream plants combined the other day. Discussions of railroad mergers are so common that nobody any longer puckers an eyebrow An oil deal recently failed to cause surprise.
 This is a day of big business - big combines, big organizations, big industrial cooperation, big farming associations, big mcr- chants; and big ideas back of all.
 Some think this means less op- portunity for the little fellow, the small dealer and the common man. But not necessarily. The big con- cerns need trained men and plenty of them - supervisors. superin- tendents, foremen, managers; also cXpcrimenters, tcchnicians labora- tory workers and inventors. They are also in search of the man with ideas, for they have the means to develop them. They economize at some points and spend -- somc- times even waste money at other angles.
 We formerly called the big ones trusts" Have you noticed how rarely the term is being used nowa- days The editors don't even call the Standard Oil a trust any more, perhaps thinking the court dissolu- ton decree actually worked a re- form.
 Sour critics of big concerns seem to have given up the argument.

OREGON SCHOOL CASE AND STATES RIGHTS

Had the Oregon school case been debated in Congress the newspapers would have been full of yituperative speeches. vitriolic ycrbosity and hot air generally.
 But the case was argued before the L. s. Supreme Court In March -perhaps you didn't know it. Both sides presented their claims in a quiet forccful and dignifed man. ncr. Nine judges listened intently. Now they are dclbcrating. No pub lie agitation, clamor or ruffled feel ings, no politics-all was quiet on the Potomac.
 In 1922 Oregon voted upon q law forbidding private schools. An in junction halted it's application. The case turned to the Supreme Court, There the decision will be made by men capable Of deciding a question reaching down to the fundamentals Of organized society.
 One of the legal questions in yolvod is whether private and parochial schools in state are pro tccted by the federal Constitution, or whether states have a right to arnihilatc them. In other words, whether states have as much states rights as Oregon thinks they ought to have. Oregon takes the aflirma- tive various church and private so- cicties have the negative. When the court yields it's decision the qu"s- ton will be settled for all time in the United States.

Mrs. Paul Revere

 trusty bay And galloped wildly off to spread
 alarms Among the minute men upon the
 farms He little dreamed that what he did
 would be Forever treasured in worlds his-
 tory. The knowledge of it, had he known
 of it. Would doubtless have encouraged
 him a bit As homeward he rode on his weary
 plug Aware that he'd receive no welcome
 hug. For Mrs. Paul Revere, sad to re-
 late, Was one who whined and always
 railed at fate. Good gracious, Paul! Where have
 you been all night? Not surely watching out for that
 old light? Oh dear. You are a sight! Where
 have you been? To Lexington! Clear there and back
 again. Now what sense was there in ride
 like that? Have you been drinking? Goodness,
 see your hat! Just look at you! You're wringing
 wet with sweat, And you won't have bath for
 three days yet" To do his duty, knowing thus she'd

regarded this as the only question legally coming under his jurlsdie- ton, he scarcely had any other choice but 10 grant tho license. It is the pccullaritics of the state law which creat such notification Of home rule and the only place for reform in this particular Is by legis- lativo action, or this there Is no sign.
 States are 1eulous Of their rights under the federal government; cities should be equally jealous of their rights under the state govern ment But in innumcWble purticu- lars cities and towns have to rely upon the sutlorance of the state government -- either the Legisla- ture or bureaus for sanctions to perform purely local runctions As a result, cities anu towns very fre- quently feel the iron heel of gov crnment from Hartford instead of being permitted 10 run their own affairs to their own liking.
 When sufficient cities and towns u,al.r lin tn tbn Cyils of burnou cratic and statcocratic local gov ernmcnt there may be a change in prospect, Until that time, when de- cisions and opinions, orders and ukascs, pronunciamentos and pre- scriptions, go against local scnti- mcnt there is nothing to do but bear the burden and submerge the emotions under the cloak of smile.

The trouble with this program is, how is it to be made effective with out the cooperation of the press? - which isn't all of it likely to be willing to cooperate. In wartime it could be done, of course. Even in peace time it can be done in some old world countries, where militar- ism has a tighter grip than here. But in the United States, except when war is on, If the newspapers can get details and pictures, unless new laws are passed, no means ex- ist of preventing their publication. And battleship. for instance. can't very well be bombed in an enclosed space, from which reporters and photographers can be excluded.
 This question came up In connec- ton with the sinking of the Wash ington. It was going to be secret, Commander Halsey Powell of navy prcGs relations" announced.

when the process appears to be en-
tirely automatic?
The question is easily answered
when one has made mental
picture of what goes on inside an
automobile engine when it is climb
ing hill. While the engine is pull
ing hard, pressure on the main and
connecting rod bearings, the piston
pins and the cylinder walls is at a
high peak ANY oil that is in it's
logical place between the bearing
surfaces tends TO be squeezed out.
If it is not squeezed out it is burn
ed out. Fresh oil, of course, is on
the way to be forced in, but with
the pressure between the bearing
surfaces so high the fresh oil finds
entrance extremely difficult.
Suppose that while the driver is
forcing the car up hill he takes his
foot off the accelerator for an in
slant, even though he steps on the
gas with additional vigor immediate
ly after. What, happens? Pressure.
for one thing. is reduced to a point
where the fresh oil works in between
the bearing surfaces with greater
ease. Any of the old oil that is still
between the bearing surfaces is al
lowed to remain, and to keep cooler.
That is why some drivers make it
