When an individual knows that he
must work out his own salvation and
cannot leave his difficulties behind by
running to some haven Of refuge he
is more likely to buckle down to bust
ness and accomplish something for his
own benefit. That Is one of the Incl.
dental benefits which we conferred
upon others in adopting the policy of
restricted immigration. It may have
seemed drastic measure at the time,
but 1t has proved blessing. Had we
received all the burdens Of the Old
World, piled on top Of our own, we
would have been SO badly crushed
with the weight that we would have
been powerless to help ourselves and
powerless to help others.

that respect the restriction Of immi'

hardships have been ironed out.

no move toward becoming a citizen

- are so scarce today that the
announcement made la st
A. week by the Phillips Memorial
Gallery of the acquisition Of
characteristic canvas by this great
painter of the sea almost partook of
the sensational.
ITO the Rescue" which now hangs
in the main gallery of the Phillips
Memorial Gallery, Is essentially in
Winslow Homers best vein, an epic
of the sea, in which the human ele-
ment has been introduced to lend
emphasis to the drama Three fig.
ures, a man with rope in his hand
striding forward, and two women
walking side by side, are almost sill
houetted against a raging surf, waves
beaten into froth as they pound upon
the shore and fill the murky air with
mist. Sky and water meet without
definition in dark gray pail, through
which one sees, or seems TO see, the
outlines of ship in distress. There
Is intense action both in the figures
and in the foaming water, and ever
present is the suggestion OF doom.
No one who knows the sea, even
those who love 1t most, can completely
escape the sense at times OF It's DIRE
full menace, its relentless cruelty.
Conrad speaks of this in his Per
sonal Record" WinslOw Homer as
a painter of the sea paralleled Conrad
as a writer; the one pictured with
words, the other with brush. Both
are equally terse, powerful and Verac-
ious. Winslow Homer lived for years
on the coast of Maine a solitary lire,
mingling not at all with other artists,
comparatively little with his nelgn'
bors, but he knew and painted the
sea on that rock-bound coast as no
one else has.
The Phillips Memorial Gallery is
fortunate in possessing two cnarac-
teristic water colors by this same
master-one a golden sunset over stlli
water, the other rocky Maine head
land. on which are assembled a group
of happy people. Each takes her
place as a factor in the composition
and one little figure poised on the
very topmost rock silhouetted against
the sky lends scale to the whole.
Homer, 1t will be remembered, be
gan his career as an illustrator. He
was special artist for Harper's
Weekly at the front during the civil
War and, following the Northern
Army into Virginia, made pictures
not only Of the fighting force but
of the negro life which he found on
the old plantations. One of these
early paintings, an interior of a negro
cabin, is included in the Evans Ma
tional Gallery collection, as well as
Homer's mastery later painting,
"High Cliff, Coast of Maine"
The Corcoran Gallery owns two
works by winslow Homer. a gaunt
figure of a woman, wind blown, walk
ing along the shore, and brilliant
water color of a river man guiding
downstream floating logs.

familiar to many through reproduc-
ton, is owned by the Boston Museum

Mr.. Phillips has said: Mr.. WILLARD s
speciality Is the domestic atmosphere
of his popular interiors-the eloquent
suggestion Of the relation of people
to their living rooms. He Is called
an 'intimist,' as Is also Pierre Bon

impressionists whose light and air
they employ and the expressionists
whose aim is not to reproduce scene

it conveys in the mind"

There are literally hundreds of people

like eyes looking from the facades OF
the surrounding houses; the stalls In
the market are piled with colorful
flowers, fruit and vegetables. The

Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in
Is there anything new under the
sun? To obtain an answer to the
question It Is only necessary to tell the
story Of the beginnings OF physics
500 years ago, OF it's subsequent de-
velopment and application to human
life, and then of the amazing changes
in 1t going on under our very eyes.
That story seems on its face to
Justify the philosophy of revolution
and Of protest, for has not twentieth
century physics shown that nine
teenth century physics was merely "a
pack Of lies" rubbish At only to be
dumped out and forgotten? That is
precisely the way In which a devotee
Of the philosophy of revolution and
of protest would state 1t. But In so
doing he would be guilty Of a COM
plete distortion Of the facts. For the
exact and obvious truth is that no dis
covery Of the twentieth century has
thus far subtracted, nor can 1t ever
subtract, one whit from the great body
Of experimental facts brought to light
in the nineteenth century.
These facts are henceforth the
permanent heritage of the race. In
them eternal truth has been dis.

ward in ever-expanding circles.
But how about the framework Of
theory which had held these facts
together, given them unity. assisting
the memory In retaining them, and
giving them relations. Is this all q

nation, which was the only field in
which their ultimateness had been
tested before 1895. In the study of
chemistry and it's practical applica-
lions too, we use the elements now
precisely as we used them before the
discovery of the electron. The only
change Is that the physicist has dis.
covered new field entered by new
processes, X.ray processes and the
like, in which the ultimateness Of the
elements disappears.

Bureau To P Permit
Banned Devil Dance
At Road Opening

CLIFTON-Respect of the white
people is the only compensation
asked by the Apache Indians for
the presentation of their sacred
ceremony, the Apache Indian devil
dance. at Hannagan's Meadows
June 30-31, when the Clifton
Springerville highway, 124 miles in
length, through the Apache national
forest, will be formally opened and
dedicated as "The Coronado Trail. "
The Indians are not permitted to
dance the devil dance at their trl-
bal meetings.
This fact became known here fol
lowing a conference between ALVIN
Becker of Springerville, chairman
of the program committee, and
Agent Charles L. Davis of the FIT
Apache reservation at White river
and the Apache Indian chiefs. Ii
will be the first time in the history
of the reservation that the White
Mountain Apache Indians have LEFT
the reservation to do their deVll
dance and therefore is considered a
rare and unusual concession by the
association promoting the celebra-
tion. The Indians, said Mr.. Becker,
expressed a desire to attend the
fiesta, which forest officials believe
is of national Importance, and do
their part in an event which marks
the beginning of a new era OF lie
in the Apache forest, which before
the building of the Coronado trail
as a motor road was isolated and
known only to those using PACK
animals and saddle horses.
The Indians also agreed to put
on some of their modern dances to
show the contrast as between these
dances and their ancient ceremony,
the Apache Indian devil dance,
which is an appeal to the evil spirit
to stay away from the marriageable
girls of the tribe so that they may
continue under the protection OF the
Good Spirit. The devil dance at
Hannagan's Meadows will be par
ticipated in by 125 Indians in tribal
costumes. 1t will start, according
to custom, at sundown and continue
through the night until sunrise. 1t
is a weird, fantastic affair done to
the beat of tom toms in the glow
of bonfires.
Mr.. Becker said that on behalf of
the association he had assured Mr..
Davis and the chiefs that the asso-
citation appreciated too deeply the
historical and educational value of
the Apache Indian devil dance to
white Americans, especially the
children, to permit the slightest
violation of good manners while
this sacred ceremony is being. pre-
sented at Hannagan's Meadows.
The boy musicians of the FIT
Apache school also will attend and
render band programs during the
celebration, Mr.. Becker announced
