for one would like better than to help
American business men to be hard
headed realists just now"
Sharing the dread of his capitalist
masters at the sight of the growing
mass demonstrations against unem-
ployment and starvation, the rising
anger of the masses, Fosdick con-
fessed that something is the matter
with the operation of system that
in our Western world puts millions
upon millions of people who want
work out of work, and leaves millions
more this Christmas time in the
shadow of sinister poverty"
He then proceeded to spout bunk
about the possibility of the profit
greedy capitalists building "hu-
name, cooperative economic life". in
order to prevent the masses from
turning to the socialist cooperative
system which is being built with such
gigantic strides in the Soviet Union
for the benefit of the workers.
Yes, DR.. Fosdick, capitalism is on
trial And the workers will give the
answer. They will not be fooled with
tire bunk that there can be a CO.
operative society with the means of
production in the hands of small
class of exploiters and profit sucking
parasites who live on the toll of the
masses. Nor will they swallow the
illusion that the capitalists will VOL
unfairly surrender the factories,
mines, mills, railways, etc., to the
workers who create the wealth of the
country.
The workers know that Fosdick's
".lard-headed business men" who
want to see the worwkers starve

ASKS AID FOR

NEW YORK.-The Importance of
the 8-Day Drive for the Workers

Every student of the Fall Term of
the school felt the tremendous physi-
cal difficulties the school had to face.
For lack of room, we were COM
PEELED to hold the classes in two diff

More Banks
Cyash,: 2 OF
Large Size

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 20
Another big bank has crashed here,
depriving thousands of depositors of
their money, amounting to $6,409, 124.
The Aldine Trust Co., bank with
alleged resources of $9,256,2 34, main
tanning a main office and two
branches, closed its doors yesterday.
This is the second big bank crash
that has taken place in Philadelphia
in two weeks. The first was the
Bankers Trust Co., with many
branches and over $50,o0O,Oo0 in de-
posts. The $4,000 depositors of the
Bankers Trust Co. are still without
enc penny of their money put into
the bank.
The important feature in connec-
ton with the deluge of bank failures
is that bigger banks are constantly
crashing. The capitalist press is try
ing to minimize the Importance of
these bank crashes, numbering over
1900 for the year, by saying mainly
small banks are effected. Recently,
however, the bigger banks have been
going. This is recognized by one of
the leading organs of Wall Street,
which the workers are not supposed
to read. The Commercial g. Finan-

Record.Setting Cow
Skaters Own Record

Canary Korndyke Alcarta, a 3-year-
old Holstein Freisian COW, which q
year ago claimed the worlds champion
ship as butter-fat producer with
1896 pounds of milk containing 1000
pounds Of butter-fat in 3o5 days, has
broken her own record. The latest
record for this marvellous COW, which
is a dairy in herself. is 3o,so1 pounds
of milk with 1,336.25. pounds of butter
fat. She got away toea good start in
her lactation period and maintained
steady now, averaging well around 100
pounds a day for several months. Her
best months production in butter-fat
was 1l460, pounds, produced in May,
with April, 112.45 pounds, running
close second. This COW was bred by
Fred v. Heeney, Ingersoll, Ontario, and
sold In yearling form to s. q. Sims

to 3. H Thomas, Moose Jaw. SaSkatche-
wan, under whose supervision she made
several records. Last year, after I'm
ishing her worlds record, she was pur-
chased by the Saskatchewan Govern
ment at cost of $4,000. Canary

European affairs he again applied his
theory that knowledge was a connected
whole and could not be laid on in pieces
like shingles on roof. Accordingly he
made it practice to make frequent
trips to Europe and he urged his sub
ordinates to do the same. On these
trips he usually stayed at the American
embassy and made contacts with the
leaders in each country.
But let us continue this interlarding
of Castles past with his present. When
the war broke out he tried to enter
PlattSburg, but his health prevented
him from doing so. He came to Wash
ington and told the Red Cross that he
would like to organize a bureau for the
relief of prisoners and to search for
missing men. Apparently the authori-
ties of the. Red Cross did not take his
suggestion very seriously, for he started
the work with an ONCE force of only
one stenographer. So necessary and
successful was this work, that at the
end of the war Mr.. Castle had 600 en-
ployes in Washington, l 900 In Ameri-
can training camps and $500 abroad
and he was handling a mail OF 10000
letters a day.
When the war ended Frank Polk,
then Undersecretary OF State, asked
Castle to enter the department as spe-
cial assistant. In his work with the
Red Cross he had made innumerablc
contacts which could not be duplicated
and he had always had a broad knowl-
edge of Europe. Mr.. Castle accepted,

doing strong, capable work. as wit
messed by her still life and flower
paintings and as witnessed also by the
construction of her portrait studies.
But one is more than a little surprised
to find N. c.. Wyeth's daughter going
off into the vagaries of post-impres-
sionism, endeavoring to do something
through the medium of painting which
is outside of the boundaries of visual
exhibition, one entitled THE Two
Children" the other Adolescence"
are both strikingly of this type. The
intention undoubtedly in both in
stances was to express spirit rather
than substance. to paint the psychic,
but the result Is pathetic anemia.
One sees in these works an effort to
do more than has been done in the
past, or to do it differently. Expert
mentation is always legitimate, and
sometimes leads to happy results. But
the great masters Of the past-Rem-
brandt, Titan and Leonardo da Vinci
did interpret, through the medium
of paint, spiritual quality. Every great
portrait painter has interpreted soul,
but they have done 1t by painting
what they saw, by an art which in it
self concealed art. A portrait by
Rembrandt or Raeburn is much more
interesting than the individual painted
because it is an Interpretation. Dis
tortion does sometimes serve the same
end - for example, caricature - but
when an effect is forced weakness must
be admitted.
Miss Wyeths color in these two ex-
detrimental works Is unpleasant, and
her effort to present her subjects in a
spiritualized manner conveys the i'm
preston not of spirit, but OF Ill health.
Her paintings of still life-one OF
dark red tulips, another OF zinnias,
third of peonies and one OF fruit-are
strong and direct and very handsome,
but her interpretations of individuals
have a set similarity, and they lack
that appealing frankness with which
she paints inanimate things.
Perhaps Miss Wyeths work would
gain in effect If fewer examples were
shown. The exhibition at the Arts
Club is over-crowded and the light in
the library Is far from good.
There Is no doubt that Miss Wyeth
has something to say. but her work as
shown here at this time gives one the
of indecision, Of cropping for
something not yet attained.

ress.
Because Of the violent opposition be-
tween old and new, the radical changes
in ideals and viewpoint, the artist of
today finds herself. or himself, oft-times
between the horns Of a dilemma, be-
which way to turn. But this
very confusion leads to new thought and
fresh endeavor, and will undoubtedly in
the end prove beneficial. Miss Mum is
one of those who in the midst OF con-
fusion has maintained a fixed ideal.
