Above New York's tumult, atop the Grand Central station, is an hnusual art gallery, founded by Walter |. Clark (right). Its pur. pose is to aid American artists, and only their work is displayed. It pays it's own expenses, and seeks no profit. Above is a scene in one of its rooms.
 NEW YORK. Jan. 9-In the heart of New York, over the greatest network of railroad tracks in the world, there are 15 quiet room where. the noise does not penetrate, and where the city's rare gleams of sun man age to sneak down between the buildings and through the sky lights
 The vast rooms are the Grand Central Art Galleries, perched atop the block-wide Grand Cen tral. station-in the very middle of the city. yet strangely aloof from the noises of, the city.
 The galleries grew from the dream of a business man, to fill n long-felt want among artists. They are non-profit making, but self-supporting.
 Walter l.. Clark. was the busi- ness man, a prominent New York enginer, whose theories of busi ness applied to American art founded and developed the gall Ieries. He obtained the financial support of other wealthy men and women, discovered the rat infested attic of the Grand Gen. tral, and won the help of the New York Central railroad in renovating the space.
 "The galleries" explained MT. Clark, "are financed by approxi- mately 150 influential American citizens and are under the direc- tion of seven nationally known business executives. The idea is to operate this organization atrno profit to any one except the artist and yet to manage it on busi- ness basis"
 .sOnly living American artists may take membership in the galleries, and selecting board ofx artists nominates and votes upon the works to be exhibited. A sales organization takes care of the selling with margin of profit to provide for the cost of upkeep.
 The 150 lay members contri- bute $500 a year for three years, and the 15O artist members con tribute work of art year for three years. At the annual draw ing each lay member is entitled to select one of the artists's con tributiens, and in many instances the donors secure masterpieces which would sell for well over &l,O0O.
 in it's promotion of American art, the organization sends ex- hibits to all parts of the country, accompanied by a salesman well equipped with knowledge of art and modern artists.
 As. part of the effort to stimu- late popular interest in the work of. American artists of standing, the gallery has instituted a pol icY of suggesting small artistic bronzes as trophies to be used ipstead of the silver loving cup that has so long and so use Ie1siy been the symbol of victor3 ii contests.

Sister Philippe said that they arc
entering on long trip and it is
very unlikely that they will ever re-

take about IS days and the sisters
expect to arrive there about Aug

a group of other nuns. A reception
in Sister Philippe's honor was ten
dered her Tuesday evening by the
members of the st. Anne's society OF
St. Peters church.
The two sisters are greatly inter

sincere thanks to all their friends

st. Mary's school in 1916 and from
the New Britain High school three
years before entering the order at
Lennoxville.
Sister Philippe said that the sis
tiers were able to accomplish great
deal of good work among the Chi
nese as can be seen from the fact
that shortly after they arrived IN
China In 1921, new hospital was
built. and while she was there dur

wby the two nuns toured the coun-

made. After many hours of debate
in committee and sub committee, a
plank was found that satisfied the
most prominent OF Smith and anti
Smith leaders alike. Composed OF
but two sentences, 1t declared the
republicans have not enforced the
prohibition law. and pledges the
democratic nominee to make an
honest effort for enforcement Of that
and all other statutes.
Brought to the convention floor
with the support OF both vets and
drvs. the plank provoked but a. few
minutes Of discussion and went into
the platform without a roll call.

Governor Moody of Texas, a mem
her of the platform committee. told
the convention he would have pre-
ferred a direct endorsement OF pro

Farm Plank
The only other part Of the demo-
cratic declaration OF principles 10

was the farm plank. As finally
brought In and adopted it pledges
the party to take immediate and eff
fectlye steps to deal with the prob
lem OF farm surpluses and the re-
Mobilization of agriculture generally.
Some party leaders believe that
Governor Smith will make a more
detailed announcement on this sub
ject early In the campaign.
a long program OF nominating
and seconding speeches preceded
consideration OF the platform on the
convention floor. and even after the
platform was approved and the
nomination made to the tune Of a
long and loud demonstration. the
convention stayed on until we'll after
midnight hearing exhortations to
battle. Besides Senator Red. John
w. Davis, the party nominee four
years ago. was brought to the con-
vention platform. He told the cheer
ing delegates that the call OF the
party in 1928 was harmony under
the leadership Of Smith.
