Cheating Wine Casks
Barred From Rome

Progress and tradition are engaged
in battle at the gates of Rome. Tra-
dition calls to custom and picturesque
for help; but progress is pitiless and
will not yield.
Recently the governor of Rome for
bade the entrance Of donkeyS into the
city. Not that he thought enough dom
keys live here disguised as men, but this
lazy animal offends the decorum Of the
capital and entangles its traff1c. Now
the governor has barred those small
oblong barrels that for over three CEN
turtles have been brought filled with
Frascatis sparkling white wine.
The reason given is that the casks
are made not according to the metric
or decimal system but rather to medie-
val measures. This makes calculation
difficult for the mIaioipality's sClrf c.i-
else on wine, besides being disadvan-
tage to the purchasers, who may be
easily cheated.
with the barrels may be banished the
gayly decorated carts and the small
dogs which American tourists admire
so much.
These dogs are such good guardians
that the cart driver can fall fast asleep
while the horse securely trods the
Roman highway flanked by the aQue.
ducts Of the imperial era.

lent full-length study of young woman
in costume standing in front OF beau-
tiful old chest of drawers, "Mending the
Ruffle," by Rosamond L. Smith Bouve;
to say nothing of an epoch-marking
painting by Robert Spencer Of an Amer
lean mob, entitled 1.-THE Seed OF Revo-
lution," a painting which one cannot
sufficiently praise.
This gallery is typical of the entire
exhibition, for there is no aggregation
of masterpieces, no attempt to segregate
those Of q single style. Each gallery
has its treasures and its oddities. Among
the former in gallery B Is Frederick
FrieSeke'S prize picture, Frances" a
charming little girl with braids hanging
over each shoulder, painted in a high
KEY with face in shadow but most ex-
quisitely and sympathetically rendered,
a beautiful and appealing work. Here
also is Frank W. BenSon's superb paint
ing River in Flood" as fine work as
he has ever produced, and Benson is
one of our great American artists,
brilliant etcher, accomplished water col
orist, excellent painter in oils, one who
loves the open and interprets it with
extraordinary sympathy and under
standing.
In this gallery is characteristic

fianked on either side by two paintings

Ganges," by Maurice Sterne, and Flow
ers," by Arthur B. Carries, both proposed

of color strangely mixed, yet so in
volved in composition as to offer puz-
zling problems for the average lay
mans Interpretation. And of frank.
almost brusque realism is Henry E.
Schnakenberg'S 1.-THE Garden, Yer
mont" Realistic also is Carl Wuer-
mer's DAY in August" but realistic
with an element of poetic charm and
appreciation on the part of the painter
of decorative design.
Admirably complementing one an
other are figure paintings by Leslie P.
Thompson, "The Cigarette" and by
Frederick A. Bosley, Portrait of Miss
Bush in Green Jacket" both strong in
a sturdy portrait of John Dull, Artist"
by Christian L. Dull.
In this gallery one finds Charles
H. Woodbury's characteristic marine,
"Easterly Coming" a gray picture of
sea and sky enlivened by a fleet of
fishermen in dories pulling for safety
and home. Here are two characteristic
and charming interiors by Richard E.
Miller, and strong vital painting OF
Indians, white Sun and Star Road"
by Ernest L. Blumenschein.
The humorous note in this gallery is
to be found in Franklin G. Watkins
Seated Figure" which, while modern,
harks back distinctly to the Victorian
era, yet how shocking to those of that
era it would have been!
In Gallery c we find, by way Of
diversity, two semi-anonymous works,
one by "Buk," the other by "Nura,"
both distinctly Victorian. recalling the
embroiderieS of those amazing days.
The former IS a composition of figures
entitled Innocence, Love, Obedience;
and the other consists of number of
little girls, when Summer Comes"
Both have the naivete of the old-time
sampler or of the drawings made by
ones great maiden aunts in early
childhood, delighted in their simplicity.
And here are two Of Guy Pene Du Bois'
little pictures of contemporary life,
"Cafe du Dome" and "'The Race Track"
blunt and homely but extraordinarily
skillful, interpreting character with
some of the genius so poignant in
Daunier and other keen students of
human foibles
Here is Clifford Beal's superb rendi-
ton of THE Net Wagon" Offset by
Arthur B. Davies poetic transcriptions
of mountain themes, "Apuan, Many
Folded Mountains" and 'The Umbrian
Mountains" modern and at the same
time classical. And here is John G.
Johansen's imaginative 1.-THE Land of
the Hunters" dream interpreted with
mastery strength. Well may one pause
in this gallery before Gardner Synons'
landscape, Birch and Pine" or Jonas
Lies sea picture, "Along the Coast"

Figures" shows him chiefly interested

TINE Corcoran Gallery's eleventh
contemporary exhibition of oil
paintings by American artists
was opened last evening with q
private view and reception and
from today until December it may
be seen by the public.
These exhibitions in the past have
been generally regarded as conservative,
but the present exhibition is distinctly
modern, up to date and affords excellent
opportunity to estimate preSent-day
tendencies and accomplishments. The
modernist movement has in recent years
not only attracted attention and created
discussion but has caused disSenSion
and alarm. the last among those who
cling to tradition and fear its menacing
Egliness. But it is not 50 fearsome a
monster as some have supposed, and, try
as saHscy may, the so-cailed modernistS
cannot completely shake off or escape
tradition.
The jury of selection and award for
this exhibition was composed Of five
conservative artiStS-Charles w. Haw-
thorne, Karl Anderson. Ernest L. Blum
enschein, Adolphe Borie and Aldro T.
Hibbard-but had they all been mod
ernists they could not have been more
hoSpitable to the eXponentS of the new
movement, even to the giving of the
much coveted awards. Announcement
of the findings of the jury of award
was made at the time the jury met
10 days ago, but it may be we'll to re-
list them here.
The first award of $4,000, accom-
panied by the Corcoran gold medal,
went to painting by Bernard Karf1ol,
entitled Summer: the second Clark
prize of $500, accompanied by the
Corcoran silver medal, to Eugene
Speicher's Portrait of Young Woman
in White Dress: the third Clark prize
of 81, 900, accompanied by the Corcoran
bronze medal, to Frederick G. FrieSeke
for q portrait of a little girl. Frances;
the fourth Clark prize of $500. accom-
panied by the Corcoran certificate Of
honorable mention, to Henry Lee Mac
Fee for Landscape" No one of these
paintings is in conventional style, al
though the FrieSeke is characteristically
after the manner of the So-called French
impreSSionists.
The modernist movement supposedly
was a revolt from impressionism and
at the same time from things tangible,
an effort to return to the simplicity OF
the primitive and to enlarge the sphere
of artistic expression, taking it into the
realm Of the abstract. But, curiouSly
enough, the moderniStS of yesterday
have become the realiStS of today and
such modernism as we find in this eX-
hibition for the most part sets before us
facts, often ugly facts. Furthermore,
the manner of expression is both bald
and bold. But there is no chance for
misunderstanding; 'he who runs may

in the rhythm of line. Here is real
ism and at the same time sense OF
harmony which savors OF the universal.
Marion Hawthorne's study of Water
Lilies" found in this gallery is beauti-
full piece of still life painting, and /. II.
Caliga's portrait of his mother might
we'll be given place among the old mas
ters. Here, too, is found BurtiS Bakers
charmingly rendered figure study, "Old
Taffeta."
In Gallery D one of the places Of
honor is occupied by painting OF q
boy in white satin suite, "The Fencer,"
by Charles w. Hawthorne, chairman
of the jury of selection, who is well rep
resented by this and three other figure
paintings in his most accomplished ana
characteristic vein.
In this gallery hangs Eugene Higgins
powerful painting, 1.-THE Storm" work
of elemental vigor, which seems asso-
ciated with the creation of the uni
verse. Here, also, is an exquisite
painting by James Chaplin, "Aline NC
Mahan Making Up," a painting rendered
with the simplicity for which the mod
ernists aim-the simplicity of Holbein
and of Durer. yet partaking OF that
beauty of brushwork and texture found
in paintings by Chardin. This, II we
are not mistaken, is one of the MASTER
pieces of the future.
In this gallery also hangs the Karfiol
painting to which the first w. A. Clark
prize was given--realism to the nth

| the Hemicycle, where in the place of
honor is hung a beautifully painted
full length figure of Girl in Pink, -
by Alexander r. James. a costume
study in which textures are finely rer-
dered and color charmingly set forth.
A forceful painting by John r. Folins-
bee, River Lane" and study of four
men, Seine Members" interpreted in
the modern manner by Emil Holzhauer,
hang to the right and left, off-setting
this more conservative work.
To the right again, abruptly chang
ing the idiom, Is an interior. 1.-THE Fam
ily," by Irving r. Wiles, painting
presumably of his own home with its
rich furnishings-th painter on sofa
in a corner, Mrs Wiles and another
lady seated at table in the foreground
"a painting rich in tone, evidencing
the r2inter's own delight in nuances of
color and in the beauty Of decorative
surroundings. In violent contrast again
is an extremely modernistic painting By
Alice Flint. 1.-THE Dancers" Savoring In
character of the revel or the stage.
And so it goes, from extreme to ex-
treme, and yet there is no lack of har-
mony, and the real art lover will not
complain of novelty but will endeavor to
see in each work as far as possible the
artists original intent, that which
caught his or her attention and gave
the urge to self-expression. One can
not like all and yet can find interest
in many.
Here, for instance, is an excellent
painting of an Indian, "The Chant"
by E. irving Couse, and next to 1t a
superb piecS of still life painting. "A
Prehistoric Bowl" by j. H. Sharp,
essentially American both, yet not in
harmonious with a neighboring work.

Ponte Vecchio, that beautiful old brldge
in Florence which the artists for CEN
turies have loved to picture.

are in this gallery E. Martin Hennmgs
painting 'The Sheep Herder" and W.
Herbert Dunton'S Pastor de Cabras Neo
Mexicano." both subjects found in our
great Southwest and each painted with
that virility and veracity which marks
the works of the great masters OF the
past. The same may be said OF THE
Rabbit Hunters, Taos" by Oscar E. Ber-
ninghaus, and, though in lesser degree:
of Edmund M. Ashes painting OF

the soil. Here are. excellent landscapes

this season, will not plOw up the Hawk
eye gridiron next year.
McLain was barred from further ath-
letic competition in the Western Con-
ference by the conference eligibility
committee today. The committee ruled
that McI,ain's two seasons of play at
Haskell Institute, prior to his enroll
ment at Iowa, together with last Fall S
activity with the Hawkeyes, constituted
three years of foot ball competition. The
Big Ten restricts its athletes to three
years In any sport.
The disbarment of the spectacular In
dian player was based on decision
reached in the conference in 1904 which
placed the Haskell Institute of Law
renee, Kans., on a basis of athletic
equality with Big Ten institutions. The
action against McLain was instituted by
the eligibility committee, a division OF
the faculty committee assisting in the
control Of athletics.
The committee gave Allen Holman
Ohio States quarterback, a clean bill,
declaring him eligible for two more
years of competition with the Buckeyes.
Holman was a student for one year at
Iowa state COIlege, al AH1eS, iowa, ana
then transferred to Ohio State A con.
ference rule governing transfer students
provides that any such student who
enters Big Ten university while
scholastically ineligible in his former
school shall be required to put in two
years of residence instead of one before
becoming eligible for athletics.
The question involving Holman was
whether he was up to his scholastic re-
1uirements at Iowa State at the time he
transferred. The committee ruled he
was a failure only in military training,
a course compulsory for freshmen at
Ames. but not recognized as scholastic
requirement because no college credit is
given for 1t.
Passing on the eligibility of McLain,
Holman and Harold Foster. junior CEN
ter of the Wisconsin basket ball team,
was the outstanding action winding up
the two days conference.
Foster was reinstated following his
disbarment of a year ago on the tech
nical charge of professionalism. He had
been barred for playing a game with
his old high school team. at Chicago
during his freshman year at Madison.
He paid his own expenses and played
without remuneration, but a 25-cent
admission fee was charged for the
game.
