He implores Mary to keep the horrible news from their father.
 On the pretense of going to the city to assist Bob in his work, Mary journeys to New York.

BOND PRICES YIELD
J' IN SELLING WAVE
Market Affected by Heavy
Liquidation in Stocks.
Losses Are Small.
special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 24.-Bond
prices yielded reluctantly today to the
drain Of selling occasioned by specu-
lators endeavoring to support their
crumbling marginal accounts on the
stock market.
The widest losses, of course, were in
those issues most directly tied to the
stock market by conversion privileges
or stock warrants. American Telephone
4l2s, for instance. dropped over II
points before midday and International
Telephone Alps were down IL points.
Despite the good technical position OF
the bond market, despite easier money
rates. the necessity of trying to escape
complete wiping out IN STOCK accounts
caused the selling of all kinds Of bonds.
AS a result, the only progress made in
the senior market was in the foreign
department, where many descriptions
registered fractional gains.
Losses in the more speculative issues
included: General Public Service 5l2s,
down 2 points; Atchison 412s con-
vertibles. points; American I. g.
Chemical 5l2s, a point; American m
ternational 5l2s. point; Phlladelphla
Reading Coal & Iron 6s, point,
and Missouri Pacific 5l2s, 4 points.
Against the general weakening, some
of the rails managed to make small
gains. st. Paul adjustment SIS were up
over Q points. Erie genedal lien 4s rose
fractionally New York Central 5s were
up Il point.
French and British loans were again
the favorites in the foreign list French
rs and TIPS were much in demand and
at their high prices of the year. City of
Lyons IS gained a little. South Amer
lean, Central European and Japanese
bonds were firm.

UNLESS we are to have a panic
which no one seriously believes-stocks

This hardly seems like the time for
bearishnesS. This hardly seems like the
time to sacrifice good, sound stocks. I

Pope Follows MussOlini

Mussolini's private acts Of charity
which have endeared him to many
people in unfortunate circumstances,
are now being approached in num-
Der by Pope Plus. Acting on the sug-
gestion OF Archbishop Puja, the Holy
Father recently announced that he
would give $4,000 lire approximately
$3.50 to destitute families in the Scor-
dc region Of Calabria who lost their
homes during a recent big fire, This
amount presumably will be used TO fur
nish food and clothing to the untortu-
Inmates until the government Is able TO
take hand In the matter. II DuceS
acts Of benevolence have generally been
in favor Of families with large numbers
OF children. In many cases people with
almost no money at all have contln-
ued to rear children at an astound-
ing rate, inspired by the governments
propaganda for large families, only TO
discover upon the arrival OF the eighth
or tenth youngster that children eat
spaghetti as well as grownups. This
has caused some dissatisfaction on their
part and Mussolini has done all In MS

ON Thursday afternoon at the
- Woman's National Democratic Club
1926 New Hampshire avenue, an exhi-
bition Of paintings by Thee j. Nor
gan was opened with q reception
showing that Mr.. Morgan has made in
washington for some years, and it is
extremely impressive.
To say that these paintings decorate
the rooms in which they are shown,
creating an environment which is de-
lightful without intruding unnecessarily
upon the visitors attention, is to give
them high praise. for after all, a work
Of art should be q source of pleasure
held in reserve. not a loud trumpet de-
handing attention.
Since Mr.. Morgan exhibited here last
he has made broad strides. His works
have received numerous awards and
much favorable notice. He has gained
technically and In assurance. His
paintings are toneful, rich in color,
imaginative in quality It is not the
things that he has painted that signify.
but the way he has painted them.
They are not portraits of place they
are records of an artists reaction to
nature. Many of his canvases are
loaded, 1t would seem overloaded, with
paint, in q heavy impasto. but the eff
fectS produced are pleasing. The most
interesting of his subjects are those
found near the seR-boatS, water, twi-
light skies, strong contrasts of light
and shade. He is a prolific painter,
and 1t is reasonable to suppose that
some Of his themes are memory notes.
This exhibition will continue to De-
cember 80.
A T the Yorke Gallery to December
IA may be seen landscape and
flower paintings by Florence Gibson
McCabe of Oregon, and pictorial photo
graphs by Bertrand H. Wentworth of
Gardiner, Me. Extremes meet.
Mrs. McCabe'S landscapes of great
Western scenery are a bit Photographic
more Photographic, by the way, than
the photographs by Mr.. Wentworth.
At a FIRST glance they suggest the
Hudson River school, in their minute
imitation of nature. She has painted
net only what she saw. but what she
knew. and she has been satisfied to
read into her vision a certain poetic

tistic expression than this accomplished
master craftsman of Maine.
a T the Arts Club, 2ol7 I street, are
a to be seen for another week q
studies, by Clara r. Saunders, and q
group Of caricatures in oil by Charles
Dunn.
The latter greet one upon entrance,
being hung In the lower reception room,
and include extremely clever and anus
ing caricatures OF President Hoover, of
ex-President Coolidge, of Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon, Of eX-Gov. Alfred
Smith. and Of Arts Club members
Felix Mahony, H. K. sh-Brown, Eben
Comins, Edgar Nye, not to name all
Caricature is at best an amusing and
Q cruel art, and the question invariably
is whether 1t is more amusing than
cruel, or vice versa. There is one thing
certain, however, which is that a carl
caturist can never be clumsy. His PEN
Gil or brush must be as quick and
clever as his wit or he fails. Mr.. Dunn
is one Of the few genuinely successful
caricaturistS of today. His drawings
made for The Nations Business are
poignant, exceedingly original and in
variably clever. The portraits now on
view at the Arts Club manifest his skill
but not, perhapS-as do his illustrative
drawings sense of something more
than huuor.
In utterly different vein but likewise
strong in Characterization are the water
colors by Miss Saunders in the upper
lounge. These studies, II in number,
were done in Brittany last Summer
remarkable achievement in so short q
space of time.
To paint a life-size portrait in water
color, even Sketchily, is by no means a
simple task. Miss Saunders shows in
these sketches her extraordinary COM
mand of medium. Using transparent
color on white paper, and very wet, she
has, through sureneSs of touch, pro-
duced effects both significant and
graphic. These portraits are genuine
character studies. Those she repre-
sents are essentially French, essentially
individual, interesting personalities. And
the manner of rendering makes the
portraits genuine works of art.
With these portraits Miss Saunders
shows two groups Of sketches of Mas
tasket Beach-notes full Of vitality
engaging.

THE second of the Winters series Of

hibition which opened December 2, will
continue throughout the month and will
well reward the visitor.
Mr.. SturgeS is one of the leading
etchers OF our day, and he has re-
ceived at the hands of his confreres
numerous awards. He shows in this
exhibit both figures and landscapes, the
one extremely bold in treatment, the
other reticent and mild.
There are comparatively few today
who make a speciality of etching figures
and portraits, in fact there have been
comparatively few such etchers in the
history OF the art-Rembrandt in the
past, zorn, Heintzelman, Washburn and
Auerbach-Levy, to name only those who
are most successful, besides Mr.. Sturges
There are those who see in Mr.. Sturges'
figure etchings a reminiscent note of
Zorn. Probably Mr.. Sturges has been

delicacy, in spite Of the bare bigness
of the things she has had to paint.
Her flowers are more interesting, more
artistic, more significant. Here she
shows not only her Joy in painting, but
a real understanding Of artistic effect.
Especially when she works in gouache
is she happy in her result. One of her
paintings of q bough of poisoning
rhododendron is delightful and most
skillfully rendered.
Mr.. Wentworth's photographs are for
the most part of the coast of Maine
and recall wildly the paintings of
Winslow Homer. They are superb in
terpretations of nature seen under vary
ing conditions OF light, of fog, Of rain.
In his snow scenes Mr. Wentworth has
interpreted what the japanese call the
paucity of wilderness. None, it may be
well believed, has ever used the camera
more knowingly as a medium for ar
