American Academy in Rome. This
bust is in brown bronze, the face 9
golden color, the hair duii and dark,
quite lovely in effect. The Bryant
bust in marble is much more a per-
sonal expression, an exQuisitely sensl'
tive piece of modelling and essentially
vital. The gentle poet. whose home,
it will be remembered, was at Roslyn.
Long Island, is portrayed in this in.
stance without his customary beard.
but none would mistake 1t as other
than a poets face. the face OF a
dreamer sensitive to beauty, longing
to give it expression.
Plaster la never as sympathetic a
medium, therefore the busts of Gen.
Scott and Capt. Hawkins evidence
strength but lack subtlety. On the
other hand. the little statue Of Rich
ard Stockton, despite the fact that 1t
is in plaster, is delightfully."- debonair,
quite in contrast to. the soldiers figure
which is essentially ponderous.
1t is a very happy thought to do
nate these works to our National Gal.

should in time bring together repre-.
sentative works by American artists
who have helped to establish our ma.
tional tradition in art.

the work Of this craftsman, as in Miss

quality which serves as background

cleverness but to be worn. to orna-

this is as it should be. 1t belongs to

charming among the former are views

Through tie Static

There was nothing the matter with last evening. except the conges- ton of stations, which was plenty. Everything was mixed up and the low waves were absolutely out of the question, for that reason. Between
 250 and 290 meters there was ab- solutely no fun at all. This was also noticeable between 32b and $50 meters, between 360 and 370 meters and also nearly everywhere else on the dials. If one had the patience to wait until some of those stations signed off, it was all right, but If one did not, so much the worse.
 There was some static, but where did static fit with the volume re- ceivable last evening? We ask you, where did 1t fit? Chicago stations were especially loud and they had no trouble in making WIZ look like 100 waiter out on the western
 prairies.
 At WBZ the hockey game between the Bruins and Montreal caught our ears. If you have ever had your ears caught by hockey game, you'll realize that it's no fun, especially when they're twisted. But, no mat ter, the game was plenty exciting. It was a pleasure to hear Ryan again at the mike, after listening to that pug at WIS last week. Frank Is an impartial announcer and he spends most of his time watching the plays and getting them right, so he has no time for cheap wise-cracking. The game was fast and furious one if the two periods we heard can be taken as criterion. When we left the score was 1 all, with each team working with great zest, so to speak. Over at KDIlA we heard one se- lection on a program of Roumanian and Jewish music, ''The Song of the Shepherd" It was of an orchestral nature. Of course we had no trouble in bringing in KDKA. but we notic- ed a certain reluctance on its part to leave when we desired 1t to. The station had q tendency to spread out.
 With great deal of good for tune, combined with dumb luck, we brought in WCBD. Zion. Now, if you think that was no applause taking feat, you should have tried to bring it in. There were about 96 stations squeezed within a 15-meter range and, while we were listening to WCBD, we were also listening to several other stations, the offerings of which did not harmonize with the calm, sedate program of the Zion station. At the latter we heard the McElroy Saxophone quintet in program of classical music.

 There was quite | huhbub Arohnd WJJD's wave for awhile. with WIN, MEAN. wJJD. and several unidentified broadcasters fighting for sQuatter rights.
 Over at WCZ, Detroit, which sta- ton was one of the loudest on the air last evening. they were cele- brating Edgar Guest night and the we'll known poet was there in per- son. He delivered short talk, in which he told about his efforts to cheer up families of his acquaint- ance, where Death had stalked. His habit, in such cases. is to send copy of one of his collections of poems ard he stated that invariably a comforting selection Is found therein. He sounded exactly as he did when he spoke at the Central Junior High school in this city. That same hesitation between sentences. That same shyness and that same midwestern drawl. In fact, we were reminded of Will Rogers, although the Rogers wit was not present.
 At 11:30 o'clock WMCA, New York, gave up about five minutes to some individual who was shooting a line about the great good to be de- rived from somebody's cough cure. or something like that. A lot of good that talk did! Who wants to listen to such stuff at 11:30 o'clock at night, or at any time, for that matter? We didn't stay very long. although we waited until this fellow had concluded just to find out what sort of entertainment was to be presented. A pleasant voiced fellow sang I've Got Somebody Now" but his good work was o'ershadowed by that advertising talk and we lost interest.

ST|LLMAN CREATES
TRUSTFOR HIS SON
ReconciIed Banker Provides
for Heir Borne by Mrs.
F. H. Leeds.

NEW YORK, February 23.-James
A. Stillman, banker, now in Paris
with his wife, has established a sub
stantial trust fund for Jay Ward
Leeds, his eight-year- old-son. whose
mother is Mrs. Florence H. Leeds.
William NJ. Sullivan. attorney for
the banker, admitted today that the
fund had been established last
November. The exact figure was
withheld
Mr.. Sullivan declined to confirm or
deny that the fund was for 100000
n year until the boy is 81. with a
principal of S150,0O0 upon his coming
Of age. Mrs. Leeds also will be taken
care of adequately.
Establishment of the fund was
voluntary on Mr.. Stillman's part, Mr..
Sullivan said. There were no threats
of legal action by Mrs. Leeds.
In the divorce proceedings brought
by Mr.. Stillman in 1922. Mrs. Stillman
charged that he was the father of
Mrs. Leeds two children, one of
whom died.
Mr.. Stillman lost his suit, and a
referee upheld Mrs. StilIman's con-
tentions regarding Mrs. Leeds.
Some time prior to the Stillmans'
reconciliation on February 6, Mrs.
Leeds was advised by Mrs. Stillman
ito fight like tiger" in behalf Of the
hoy. An offer from Mrs. Stillmhn to
adopt Jay was declined. In May.

Mr.. Stillman had settled 100000 on
their son. On one occasion Mrs.
Stillman visited Mrs. Leeds, then a
millinery saleswoman, and wished her
success.
