On Hides and Shoes
Will Harm Farmers

WASHINGTON, July 13.-(P-A
senate tariff subcommittee was
told today by Fred Brenckman Of
the National Grange that the farm
er would be harmed rather than
helped by proposed duties on hides,
leather, shoes and sugar.

nesses remaining to be heard the
finance committee today had again
divided into four subcommittee.

be mo doubt" the house rates on
hides and shoes would work to
the distinct disadvantage Of the
farmer" and that the farmer would
receive mo benefit" from the pro-
posed tariff on sugar.

Ice is a public utility and home rule cities OF Texas
have a right to manufacture and sell it. It appears
the city of Denton had been enjoned by the district
court Of Denton county from building and operating
an ice plant. 1t was the contention of the Denton
legal minds that ice is a public utility so far as the
right to manufacture and sell is concerned. Well, the
supreme court supported that contention and so de-
creed. 1t is the law of the commonwealth unless the
case is carried to the supreme court of the United

New York Letter
BY RICHARD MAsSOCK

NEW o July 13.-Ezra Winter has perhaps
the only board walk in New York, and it's on, Of all
places, the top floor of the Grand Central terminal.
Winters studio, where he paints murals, is up
there, too, six stories above the acres Of concourse
which thousands Of pigmy-like travellers stream to
and from their trains.
The visitor takes an elevator up to the Grand Cen
trail art gallery, another railroad station anomaly, and
then climbs flight of stairs to a vast attic, cluttered
with enormous pipes and gigantic machinery.
The board walk leads him to the studio, which
during the war was a camouflage laboratory. That
is how Winter happened to move in. He was one Of
the artists who worked there on designs for making
ships invisible.
After the Armistice, when he took up mural paint
ing, he found his studio in Macdougall alley too small
for the large canvases. So now he lives and works
atop one Of the country's largest train terminals.
With his pals, George Chamberlain, the novelist;
Will Beebe, the naturalist, and William Chadbourne,
lawyer and banker, Winter gives studio parties at
tended by notables Of art, music and the drama. The
redcaps in the concourse know where to send anybody
they see downstairs in masquerade costume.
Winter, who at the age Of 43 in one Of the coun-
try's foremost mural painters, was born in Michigan,
but a decorative map recently painted in the lobby
Of a Detroit bank was his first work in his native
state. At present he is finishing a frieze for the Biz
mingham, Ala, public library, picturing various Pc
riodS in literature.
sAaa
ATELIER
Winters workshop is only one Of several pictur-
esque studios in New York. The atelier Of George
Luks IS another.
Luks' place is atop a ramshackle old building be-
low Madison square. There the visitor climbs twist
ing, ~slanting stairs and stumble through shabby pas
sages before he reaches a great room Uttered with the
canvases of the masters 80 pupils.
1t is like a studio out of a Bohemian novel. with
only the Bohenians missing. Easels and pallettes are
strewn about in dauby disorder. but all the shocked
young artists seem to be earnestly at work. They even
make their own frames Of lumber scraps, rubbed with
gilt to give an antique effect. It's an atelier that's
not arty.
DEAN OF BRIDGES.
Now come certain industrial interests who suggest
demolition Of Brooklyn bridge as a barrier to greater
shipping in the East river.
Bigger bridges have been built since the BROOKLYN
span was erected IS years ago. A new one now Is
going up across the Hudson. But Brooklyn bridge re-
mains the most famous.
It has even outlasted as a tourist attraction a
modern marvel-the Holland vehicular tunnel under
the Hudson. The latter is less than two years old
vet sightseeing buses no longer run through it. After
the first year they couldn't get enouYh interested
passengers.
