self before the window with the scene
he loved beyond.
How interesting 1t is TO remember
that in the art Of Joseph Pennell those
things which were huge and that
which was most delicate and refined
were in conjunction! Not only did he
draw and etch the great cathedrals Of
Europe, but the skyscrapers of New
York, the steel foundries of Pitts
burgh, the Industrial war activities,
the great shipyards, the ammunition
factories, and always with extreme
delicacy Of touch, strength and refine
ment.
One time he went all the way TO
Greece to make q series of Autographs
Of the Greek temples because some one
said he could not do 1t. After doing a
series OF Autographs Of war work in
ening the morale Of the British people
and the British industrial workers, he
went to France with the intention of
producing a like series with similar
object, but he gave 1t up; the emo.
tional strain was too great.

Mr.. Pennell had a whimsical nature.
No matter how sternly he might be
talking, there would occasionally come
a CLINT Of humor: the child spirit was
there and made its appeal. In the real
artist the springs Of youth are eternal.
It was for this reason that much of
his scolding passed ove- the heads of
those upon whom 1t fell. Every one
knew that he was a master. that his
love of art was sincere, that he was a
tireless worker, that he had to his
credit great accomplishment and that
his scolding emanated not from Ill ma
ture. but q desire to give to art the
best. His books, his etchings and his
Autographs constitute q vast monu'
ment testifying to his genius and his
industry, and in his work Joseph Pen
nell will continue to live. Though
| dead he speaketh," and In no un'
certain terms.

Nash Announcements
Reyolutionize Winter Driving

Great numbers Of motorists were
drawn toward the Nash Exhibit at
the New York Show this year to ex-
anime the many features Nash has
developed for winter driving.
Gone are the days when cars had
to be stored away for the winter. All
the old drawbacks that were former
ly encountered during Indictment
weather have now been banished.
For instance there once was the
danger of skidding on icy pavements,
the difficulty Of starting In zero
temperature, the liability OF paint
peeling and cracking. Add to this all
the discomforts caused by draughty
enclosed bodies.
Now all this is changed. By the
remarkable progress Nash has made
in the building and equipping OF its
enclosed models, winter driving con-
ditions have been completely revolu-
tonized. Cold weather driving has
now become safe, comfortable. and
convenient.
Take the special Duo finish on all
Nash cars as an example. Sleet and
snow cannot harm it in the slightest
degree. Nor will it crack or peel
when taken from warm garage into
zero air outside.
All Nash cars can be started
quickly on the coolest days because
of scientific developments in carbure-
ton and combustion. A special heat
control device makes winter starting
an easy matter.
Then the structure and equipment
of Nash Seaman enclosed bodies
makes them ideally fitted for cold
weather driving. Doors are fitted
tightly and are hung so as to over
lap the body proper thus protecting
occupants againt draughts and air
seepage. Mohair- covered storm
strips also serve to keep the cold air
out. and TO retain the heat radiated
by the big Nash heater.
Nash four wheel brakes prevent
skidding or sidesway on the most
treacherous icy pavements. And the
full balloon tires absorb all the road
shocks of winter roads and fully
guard the chassis against road-rack-
ing.

ably adequate transportation SER
vice ALREADY existed over most Of the
routes applied for by the petitioner,
the Public Utilities Commission
denied the petitions of the Maine
Motor Coaches, Inc. for certificates
to operate upon IL connecting routes
through the State.
In the decision handed down. the
Commission defined its policy in the
granting or refusing Of jitney certifi-
Gates in ordinary cases in the abb
sence of legislative modification or
modification by the department
itself.
Hon. Charles E. Quincy. chairman
of the Commission. in speaking yes
terday regarding the policy of the
Commission to grant certificates to
operators who had previously been
permitted to establish such service
and were giving adequate service
with good equipment, declared that
this policy would be the means Of
equipment and perhaps add to 1t. and
would also be an incentive for the
maintenance Of good service.
New Conditions Imposed on Opera.
tors
Mr.. Quincy spoke of the new con-
ditions imposed on jitney operators
by the last Legislature, requiring
them to file accounts with the Com
mission and to procure insurance or
a bond indemnifying the insured
against any legal liability for per-
sonal injury. death of any person or
property damage resultant from the
operation of the motor vehicle.
He expressed the opinion that
minimum Of $4,000. insurance or bond
of indemnity required by the statute,
might in some cases preclude opera
tors of smaller routes from continue
ing their service, and that the de-
termination Of the size of the bond
should be left to the judgment OF the
hoard-such as the Public Utilities
"ommission-which board would
probably in some cases drop the
minimum requirement below $4,000.
in order to procure good service on
routes.
Under the new requirement that
opera tors file accounts with the Com

mission, 1t can be determined by the
Commission whether the rate charges
are extortionate. whether operators
are making greater profits than they
are entitled to, or whether the CIV
ing of adequate service is a losing
proposition. The operators them
selves will come to a better under
standing of the proposition from
financial standpoint.

Giant lbearS. %F
 Giant Kadiak bears lope about over the terrain, terrifying in their size-tfey often attain length of twelve and .one-half feet-indiffer- ent to man and beast, as if they were conscious of the security their sizes gives them. The initiates in .fthat weird land say that it requires many bullets of large caliber to stop them once they are aroused.
 There are forty-two volcanoes in the Alaskan Peninsula and the Aleu- tian Islands. Some of them are ac- tive; some of them are dormant; some of them are tinct-supposed- ly so. There is the giant crater of Aniakchak, which from a distance appears to be but circle of peaks, but once one of these peaks is as- cended it becomes apparent that here is the mute mouth of a terrestrial monster, which may or may not be eternally silent From all appear ances, at least from cursory glances, the crater is dead, but hidden away in the vast floor warm spring bub- bles-a wicked warning that appear ances sometimes are deceiving. The peninsula and the islands are part of a garland of volcanic chains that is festooned rather fantastically about the Asiatic Pacific. Starting with Katmai-and excluding the volcanoes in interior Alaska, Mt. Wrangell and Mt. Edgecombe-it scallops it's way, convex to the ocean, thousands of miles to tropical Sumatra, where it runs out, to the east, into the Paci- fic, and to the west, into the Indian Ocean.
 This garland begins with Katmai and one has the impression that here is the start of a tremendous pro- cession. From Katmai it proceeds to cross the peninsular r-insular bridge, descending beneath the sea after. it leaves the Near Islands, arising again at Boring Island, and then leaping across to- Kamcha tka. There it turns sharply to the left and runs south,
