TINE silk rnurals by Lydia Bush
Brown CMrs. Charles Head) now
on view in the Corcoran Gallery
of Art are of unique and excep-
tional Interest Primarily, they
are beautiful; secondarily they are III
teresting as essays in design.
The word modern is on every ones
tongue today, and more often misused
than we'll used In the truest sense
these silk murals are modern, but at the
same time they are also traditional
Their art is of all time; their spirit is
Of the present.
To great extent the artist has con-
ventionalized her themes. but her treat
ment in almost every instance is natu-
ralistic. Perhaps it would be nearer
the fact to say that she has simplified
her subjects, leaving off all non-essen-
tials. But never for one moment has
she apparently forgotten the fact that
she is working in two, not three, dimen-
sions, and that her purpose is to create
a decoration. And no matter what sub
ject she chooses-whether it be fish or
coral poisoning tree. a donkey-dra
cart or the skyscrapers of Manhattan
she renders it with keen sense of the
beauty of line, of the significance of
form and of loneliness in color. In
other words she weaves pattern, and
she does it with that simple directness
which is the token of real originality.
One feels, looking at these murals. as
though they came into existence with
out effort and could not have been
other than they are-not that they
were made. but that they made them
selves. And. of course, this Is one of the
highest tests of art.
Lydia Bush-Brown has found the
subjects for her murals in all parts of
the world. Three Of the present group
were inspired by Syrian subjects. One
is of poisoning pomegranate tree,
another of a leafleSs olive. the third
conventional subject in which a little
walled town has chief place. And in
each instance there is a beautifully
decorative border repeating some motive
in the major design. The border which
frames the panel in the case of the
two skyscraper designs has as motives
at the sides of medieval towers, the pro-
totypes of the skyscrapers, and at the
bottom bridges over land and water,
representing the great engineering feats
Of the past. u p"
These designs are to an extent kind
Of artistic shorthand, certain symbols
standing for certain effects. A little
bush or a flower represents land, few
waving lines form water.
quite a NUMBER OF tIleSe patterns are
Of fish and undersea plant life. One
is entirely of coral. 1t is the grace
and rhythm of motion which in these
instances fascinated the artist, and by
her were made patent. An italian
motive is found in panel representing
the Tree of Life" with blossoming
plants on either side and in the lower
border peasants, donkey and a typical
Italian cart.
But it is not what Lydia Bush-Brown
has done but the way she has done it
that charms and will always charm
those who behold these silk murals,

A Code of Ethics

A code of ethics which does it credit has been
written by the American Association of University
Professors as result of disclosures by the federal
trade commission that power companies have
financed great deal of the research work being done
by colleges and college professors
The code provides that professor must not &C
cept compensation from any private corporation for
research work if the subject of the research concerns
questions of controversial public policy
Likewise, it provides that a university must not
accept research funds under these conditions.
If it seems that the professors were little dull
about graspng the ethical point involved until the
trade commission directed attention toward it, it
must be remembered that they frankly and promptly
have taken steps to correct their oversight Not all
of those involved in the power company propaganda
investigation have been so frank and so ready to
mend their ways.
1t will be interesting to note the attitude of the
great institutions of learning toward this new code
Many of them will have to ignore it or dispense
with power money they have been receiving in the
past. Harvard, Northwestern, Ohio State, Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania Stanford all involved in
the investigation. The code gives them opportunity to
clear their names of all suspicion.

Civil Liberties

The American Civil Liberties union is celebrating
the tenth anniversary of its foundation The achieve
nents of this organization warrant the enthusiasm
of its members but the occasion should be one OF
profound thought for the nation.
What could be more humilating than to have to
admit that nation conceived in liberty, must de-
pend upon handful of and small voluntary sub
scrptions to defend the liberties for which the fathers
fought and died2
Even worse. These few who have some active re-
gard for our constitutional liberties denounced
continually as common enemies of mankind. They
are derided as anarchists" and "bolsheviks.' The
Chicago Tribune charged that the unions funds came
from Moscow-words that the Tribune later swal-
lowed. Some even have demanded deportation-a
humorous suggestion applied to Roger Baldwin de-
scended on both sides from Msyfower stock.
Thus have we slumped. But We may be thankful
that we have even a corporals guard interested in
safeguarding the Bill Of Rights
The significance Of the work of the union best
may be appreciated by briefly listing some of the bat

HOWE's BIRTH
July 8

July 8
NN July 9, 1919, Elias Howe, in
" ventor of the sewing machine,
was born in Spencer, Mass.
After working for his father, who
was miller, Howe went to Lowell
to work in a cotton machinery man
ufactory. Two years later he lost
his job on account of the financial
panic, but got another in machine
shop in Boston.
In 1845 he produced his sewing
machine, but, despite its obvious adj
vantages, met with bitter opposition.
For the next nine years he was
desperately poor. He made a trip
to England in the hope of being able
to interest capitalists. He was un-
successful, being obligated to sell
the English rights to the machine
for $50 pounds.
When he returned to this country
he found that his patent had been
infr1nged and that many sewing
machines already were in use. He
therefore began action to establish
his patent.
After five years of litigation he
won his case and thereafter was one
of the leading manufacturers in the
United States. He shortly became
a millionaire.
IN 1857 he received the gold medal
and the cross Of the Legion Of
Honor at Paris.

The Reporters Responsibility

The name of Alfred Lingle probably will exist in
public memory for long time. Not because he was
murdered by Chicago gangster-the list of men who
share that distinction is too long for memory-but be-
cause he was unfaithful to his trust as newspaper
reporter
The reporter occupies a peculiar position. He
works hard, he occasionally is poorly paid and he is
now and then thrust up against temptations against
his integrity and through all there rests on him
binding if unwritten, obligation-to serve the public
although he is not public servant by telling it the
exact truth, as far lies within his power, about
what is going in the world.
1t is tribute to the class of men who work for
American newspapers that very, very few of them
are faithless to this trust. Lingle one of the
exceptions. He will be remembered a who was
SO l-advised as to take money from the underworld
that he was hired to report.

Neio Yorks Regional Plan
Committee Expects Popu-
Iation TO Double IN Neat
Thirty-FiUe Years.
TINE regional plan committee OF
i New York is making plans for
a population Of 100000 in 1868.
In other words, tine committee ex-
poets the population of the New
York region to double itself in the
next thirty-five years, for there are
now 10000,0 900 people in the region.
The committee, which has been
at work for the last seven years,
wisely decided that any adequate
plan must extend beyond the politi-
cal limits of New York City TO
include all that territory in which
peoples ways Of living and working
are affected directly by the presence
of the metropolis.
Consequently, the committee has
planned for a region 5,528 square
miles. a region including 400 munich
palities scattered over twenty coun-
ties in three states.
How the committee is making It's
plans is told in interesting fashion
by r. L. Duffus in Mastering a
Metropolis a popular summary OF
the committees ten volumes OF
technical surveys. (The book was
published recently by Harper &
Bros.)
Speaking of the committees plans,
Duffus writes:
Unless all talk of human progress
is nonsense, we must make it pos
sible for the 100000 inhabitants
of the region in 1865 to be happier,
healthier, and more comfortable
than the 100000 are now.
I'VE must 40 this democratically.
Our new regional pattern must come
out of the willing cooperation OF
more than 400 communities, large
and small"
