BIC SLUMP M s0HS' AS BEARS
 ATTACK ROYAL ACADEMY VALUES

LONDON, July 25.-Englands an- nual whats wrong with the royal academy?" argument is gett g down to a dollar5-and-cents plane this year.
 The usual dispute between those who think the academy's 1920 ex- hibition was sublime and those who think it was terrible having, as usual, proved nothing in particular, few critics lately have been fling ing price-rarks into the discussion.
 If this years academy selections are so good, they ask, why is it that of approximately l,200 exhibits only about ITO have been sold? And why, of those that have been sold are only 30 the work of academy members?
 Whatever may be said about measuring the value of art in dol lars, certainly none of those who have been paying fantastic prices for eighteenth-century English DOT traits have felt inclined, so far, to pay fantastic prices for any of the many English canvases hung in this years Academy exhibition.
 The highest price yet recorded is $3,150; the lowest are so low they cannot be mentioned without blush es. Some brought as little as $l0.
 Why not bargain basement for the academy?" suggests one critic. That he himself would not be there to look for bargains is in- dicated by his description of the 1929 exhibition as a sea of wind- mills, old barns. dilapidated cha teaux, fishing boats and trees
 nothing much more modern than 1950."
 Other critics have pointed out that something like 10000 pictures were rejected by the academy this year. Why not bring those oui
 and let us have look at them?' they inquire. Perhaps Englisl art is not half as dead as it seems. Supporters of the academy ar'
 not lacking. however. They cal attention to the fact that, what s ever may be the judgment on thi I years exhibition, it is none tn !, less true that practically ever . English artist of note during tn k past 15o years has been membe
 of the academy.

 She comes from the most ex- elusive Italian aristocracy. In her own right she enjoys rank and precedence in the courts of both London and Rome. Every year she visits her native land. She mar ried Sir Esme while he was on diplomatic service in Rome.
 Both are devout Catholics and the greater part of their charity work is along this line. They have been especially generous to all boys clubs and societies, and toward all benefits and bazaars intended to add to their libraries or gymnasium equipment.

A forgotten bit of Ruskin should be hanging over the door of every commercial establishment ip America:
 There is hardly anything in the world that
 not make little and sell
 little cheaper. and the people who consider
 price only prey"
 That slogan applies to all business-includng in- surance. By removing some of the factors devised to keep insurance "safe," cheaper grade of policy be obtained. How much it will cost before 1t expires, how much will be obtained in the event of sudden need, is always problematical
 It is automatic that insurance only be sold for less money by removing the factors of safety and it is to secure safety that most people insure. Sound stock fire insurance has only one price only standard of service and safety!

 Her activities are both of so- cial and philanthrophic nature, and are numerous and varied AL ways they are of purely personal nature.
 As wife of the dean of the diplo- matic corps she is forced to divide her day and adhere to her schedule in the sternest manner. Like Mrs. Hoover she employs full time so- cia1 secretary, for the problems she is called upon to meet are many and complicated She must set the example for others in her circle. In recent years the corps has grown so large that the task confronting the first lady" of the corps is tremendous. Deans of the diplomatic corps in Washington have succeeded each other rapidly since Lord Pauce- fote's death. M. Jusserand and his lady were just getting the reins in hand when the war came with all of it's enmity. | Upon Lady Isabella - who has been in Washington since 1924 has fallen the task of welding the broken chain. That she has beer successful, everyone agrees.

Wins Regard of Parents
 Every day, while the controversy ragged, a car bearing Sir Esme and Lady Isabella, his wife, came to the child's home. Lady Isabella brought flowers. A mother herself, she sym pathized with the child's mother And she kept this up until the child recovered.
 The parents of the injured child came completely under her spell Nothing further was heard of the affair.
 This little incident is typical Oi the hold Lady Isabella has on those who know her in Washington. Ev- erywhere she is known as the friend and counsellor of all. Not since Lady Pauncefote o1 Preston has wife of the dean o1 the diplomatic corps been so ap- proachable and kindly to the wom- en who composed Washington's for eign contingent as Lady Isabella Nor can the foreign circle boast o1 a more energetic member.

government will seek to incite us to
violence and this would result in the

mai ncalm our demands eventually
vii be met.
The request Of the union for per-
mission to stage the parade was
characterized by Shears in his mani
festo as IAN open breach against the
established government" He argued
that since the union has no capital
and did not employ anyone, the
union did not have power to call a
strike.
The manifesto, handed to Con-
zaleS while the meeting was in ses-
sion, was read by the president.
Shears informed the organization
that it had no definite grievance
for the strike and that it would not
be recognized. Ee pointed out
that the state congress had power
to levy taxes, this power being con-
ferred by the federal government,
and that the city in turn was au-
thcriZed by the state to levy and
collect taxes. He said any opposi-
ton to the state laws was punish
able by law.
He declared the chauffeurs were
not entitled to protection of the
state labor laws as they were not
organized in accordance with its
terms.
After reading the manifesto Con
zaleS called on leaders in the
audience for an expression of opin-
ion. One speaker declared sit will
be impossible for the government to
jail the entire population of Mata-
moroS and Nuevo Laredo, and it
would be necessary to do this if
protesting the tax were to be held
illegal, for all the people are
with U.s."
I'm Mexico we cannot eat on
account Of the high taxes" Con-
zales declared in an emotional adj
dress. I'VE have been afraid Of
the city government and they are
attempting to further frighten us
by this display of armed forces, but
we will let the federal government
know Of sacrifices.
BE calm. my friends, and we
will let a lawyer answer the diff
ferent points set out in the mani
fe5to by the mayor. No action will
be taken until we do this.
A second meeting of the union
and sympathizers was scheduled to
be held at 8 p. M. today.
Traffic across the Gateway bridge
between Matamoros and Browns
vile had been greatly reduced to-
day, a few cars for hire owned by
American citizens constituting the
major portion Of the movement.
Many persons were crossing the
border walking.
The Mexican city had the ap-
pearance of a deserted city with
the exception of the armed guards
and a crowd which c~ongregated
around the outside Of the hall
while the union meeting was being
held. 1t was estimated that 700
persons were in this crowd in adj
dition to those inside the hall and
all appeared to be favorable to the
strikers.
One drug store was the only
place Of business known to be Oper-
ating. Government seals had been
placed on the closed doors Of the
salons and 1t was said that sane
ton Of the federal government
would be required before they
could be re-opened.
