Beautiful But Dumb Is
 Seldom True, Man Says

Siasconet, Nantucket, July 80 dR'- The beauty who graces the front row before the footlights has more equipment to make a good wife than the debutante or working girl ac- cording to Prof. Albert F. Wiggam of the school of opinion here.
 Tn fact, the professor says, if Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Smith would let Ziegfeld pick the wife instead of try ing to do it themselves their sons would be much better off.
 Few women are beautiful but dumb" Wiggam says. "and the beau- tiful woman often has qualities be- meath the skin that will make her more competent and successful as a mother than the average girl"

.'CAL,' FISHING, IS
 LATE FOR DINNER
Outdoor Sports Again Take
 Precedence at Paul Smiths

Paul Smiths, N. Y, July 30 Pl- Dinner has to wait in the summer White House as well as anywhere else in the fishing season.
 Mrs. Coolidge had to keep dinner waiting an hour for her husband yesterday, and even at that the president expressed regret at leav- ing a pond on the former William Rockefeller estate while the trout were biting so well. He and his secret service companions returned after dark with large catch. The skies were overcast and an occa- sional drop of rain fell, making conditions virtually perfect for fish ing.
 The chief executives fishing ex- cursions have been less frequent in the past week or ten days, which has been devoted almost exclusive ly to governmental affairs and the entertainment of guests.
 Richard Washburn Child, former ambassador to Italy, enjoyed little fishing trip with the president be- fore leaving the camp, where he had been a guest since Tuesday. MT. Coolidge and his guest got a catch of perch in Osgood lake.
 In talk with newspapermen the former ambassador said the country seemed to be generally assuming that MT. Coolidge would be presi- dehtial candidate in 1928. MT. Child asserted that in his opinion the president was responsible for the governments economy program and also for preventing Washington from becoming a center of bureau cracy. He characterized MT. Coolidge as a conservative republican whose belief in a decentralized government was even stronger than that of an old-time Jeffersonian democrat.
 The president received an infor- nal call at the office yesterday from Representative Shell of Potsdam, N. | r., chairman of the house rules committee and a prominent repub- lican leader. Discussing political conditions with newspapermen. MT. Shell said the country in general was very favorably disposed toward | MT. Coolidge and that northern New York, republican stronghold, was stronger than ever for him. Sena- tor Wadsworth, in Mir. Shells opin- ion, is certain to be returned by the New York state electorate next No- ! vember.
 Two Boy scouts, Marcus Swan, 16, l of West Somerville, Mass, and Ed ward W. Wright, IS, of Brooklyn, had an appointment to call at the executive offices today. The youths, who arrived at Paul Smiths last night, are on a hiking trip through New England and lower Canada and stopped here in the hope of meeting | President Coolidge. They were told to call at the office this forenoon. Frank W. Stearns of Boston, per sonal friend of the president, is in White Pine Camp for visit of in- definite duration. Mrs. Stearns is expected 10 join him at the summer White House later.

 The damage was sustained while the steamer was battling with tho West Indian hurricane from Mon day night to Wednesday morning, standing by the Italian steamer An saldo San Giogio Secondo off Jupiter inlet, Florida.
 No Americans were seriously hurt. The third class quarters were focd- ed. The cargo shifted Monday night and one time the steamer listed at an angle of AS degrees.
 Captain Jones said the storm vas the worst he had experienced In his 45 years at sea. The liner, after hastening to the Ansaldo's call of distress Monday night, stood by the stricken Italian vessel trying to take off her crew, but the seas were so high 1t was impossible to do so.
 The crew of the Ansaldo managed to launch lifeboats, but the Orlgaha could not maneuver close enough to the bobbing small craft to taSe them on board.
 The American freighter West Har- shaw finally was able to rescue the Ansaldo's men. The Orizaba stood by until Wednesday morning, when she resumed her voyage to Havana.
 A number of the passengers op the Orizaba were American resi- dents of Havana who had been north on business or pleasure trips.
 The United Fruit steamer Ulua, which sailed from New York last Saturday, also arrived last night. She reported she had encountered high seas on the voyage, but sut- fered no damage.

to see them well done, but ,tnuch can
be said in praise of the three por-
traits of Japanese by ClaraeR. Saun-
ders, which form one of tho most in

Miss Saunders spent last Simmer in
China and Japan.
Interest in still life, particularly in
flower paintings, Is one Of the by
products of the modernist movement,
and one for which all may: be CRATE
full. This exhibition is particularly
rich in floral paintings Of engaging
character. pictures essentially deco.
rative and at the same time significant
of the characterize beauty of flowers.
AS in other subjects, many methods
of treatment are shown, some ex-
tremely fiat and direct. others more
subtle. atmospheric, and others again
boldly naturalistic.
Miss Muhlhofer shows three large
paintings of flowers rendered some
what in the style of the old Dutch
school. Kate A Williams shows a
naturalistic treatment OF a camellia
still a part of the living branch. She
also shows, under the intriguing title
"A Sermon" a vase of flowers, over
which presides Jack -in-the. pulpit.
Emma ID. Rice contributes an excellent
study of dogwood. From Frances
Hungerford Coombs comes a charm
ing composition in which marigolds
are the chief factor. She also shows
an excellent study of Zinnias. This,
indeed. is the day of the Zinnia, and the
bright colors lend charm to this and
almost every other contemporary exhi
bition of painting in oil, as well as in
water color.
Nothing could be more lovely. 1t

still life strong in color and well
rendered. Squash and Peaches" both
Of which occupy places of honor.
Lillian Giffen OF the Baltimore

Of High Surf" and from Carolyn
c. Mase comes a picture entitled
Morning on the Sea" An odd con-
tribution is a picture entitled Anxious
Mother" a white hen perturbed over
her brood painted by Elizabeth A.
MEG. Knowles.
Margarete Lent, one OF the younger
painters. is twice represented. j. Har-
ward Mcpherson sends a group Of
four landscapes. Benson Moore Is at
his best in a Winter picture and a
broad view Of rolling, sparsely tree
grown country.
But in an exhibition upheld through
out to so high a standard 1t is almost
impossible to mention or praise all.
The great significance Of the present
showing is the absence of weak
spots.
Among others we'll represented but
not previously mentioned are Jane
Peterson. who shows two interesting
pictures painted in Turkey; Alexander
Portnoff. who is represented by two
unusual themes found at Cape May:
Mary Worthin2ton drummer. who
contributes two delightful still life
paintings, unusual compositions; Roy

landscape themes: Ole Nordmark, who
sends what may be taken as pic
