HE Corcoran Gallery of Art has just
acquired through purchase painting
by George Bellows, entitled Forty
two Kids This is of the most
important purchases the Corcoran
Gallery of Art has made in many
years. It is both great and famous paint
ing and that it should come to the Corcoran
Gallery of Art is great good luck, not only for
the Corcoran Gallery but for Washington.
The painting represents group of boys, pre-
sumably wharf rats on a float on the East
River front New York, engaged in the healthy
sport of swimming. One or two are in the
water; one is about to leap in; others are
standing on the edge of the float, others still
IN groups talking or resting. 1t was painted
from a high viewpoint looking down, therefore
there is practically horizon, and the dark
colored water serves as background for the
group. 1t was painted about IS years ago, when
George Bellows first came into prominence, but
it is one Of his best works, and SO conceded
by practically all critics. 1t is enormously vital
and alive, an amazing piece of painting, and in
the years that have passed since the work was
executed it has to an extent ripened and ma
tured. There is nothing raw about it. The
bare, Sun-browned skin of the naked boys
CLOVIS against the gray brown of the wharf and
the blue-green CT the water. The color is
superb, the composition fsultless. But it is not
because of the subject or of any one factor
that this picture may be called great, but on
account of the consummate art that has gone
into it's creation.
Writing of George Bellows i'll the American
Magazine of Art nearly 20 years ago, Robert G.
Mcintyre. through whose efforts splendid col
lection OF American paintings has been as
senbied at Phillips Andover Academy, said:
Bellows is pagan, reveling in life, and in the
joy of living, worshiping at the shrine of a god
called Nature" Adding, IF you do not believe
it. look at the 'Forty-two Kids that picture
which first attracted attention to his work and
see for yourself if the very JOY of pure existence

things as bathing suits exist, conscious only of
the moment and the pleasure it brings-yet he

|Anti-Dry Leader
 Talks to Women
Mrs John M. Gates Ad= dresses WOmen'S Club
 at Stamford

Representing the wOmen's organ ization for National Prohibition Re- form, Mrs John M. Gates of New Haven. chairman of the Connecticut Branch of the Speakers bureau of this organization, spoke before the Business and Professional WOmen's s club at Stamford.
 A history of the prohibition law was the subject of Mrs Gates speech. Mrs Gates made clear at the start that in her opinion sincere vets and sincere drys want the same thing, namely. to advance the cause of temperance in the country. Mrs Gates emphasized the fact that her chief concern was not the merits and demerits of alcohol but the mer- It's and demerits of the prohibition law. She expressed the opinion that by environment and education, character could be built which would put alcohol in its proper place.
 Ardent Drys." said Mrs Gates. "believe that the prohibition move- ment has been one of uninterrupt- ed growth. A careful analysis of the history of prohibition in the diff ferent states reveals differt story. Prohibition never has been proved success for true prohibition has never really been established. Lawyers and statesmen are deep ly concerned as to whether the 18th amendment is a violation of the bill of rights. The Women's Organiza. tion for National Prohibition Re. form feels that the spirit of the 4tf and 5th amendments has been vio. lated by the 18th amendment and that the 9th and Sth amendments were violated by the Jones law. Ut is with interest that we note the attitude of the Wickersham com mittee towards relatively trifling off, fences and the Stobbs bill passed last week. The announcement from the department of justice that 1t would no longer poison industrial alcohol, is another indication that the work of the various anti-pro- hibition organizations has not been wholly in vain.'
 In summing up her talk, Mrs Gates read from Senator Tyding's 8 book Before and After Prohibition" in which book he has set forth the promises and claims made by pro- ponents of prohibition. Mrs Gates ably contrasted present day condi- tions with those promises and claims made ten years ago.

Bows over your salary?" she was asked.
 "Oh. $35,O0O."
 What I mean. Miss Devoe. is how much money have you appropriated for your own use?
 "Ahcut that much, I cant tell eX actly."
 There was a question about the dates the alleged speculations began.
 ''So you started embedding this money last year?" she was asked.
 Tt was her fault. If she had paid attention to business I wouldn't have taken dime from her because she would have known it. She wouldn't even write her own checks. She put me in a position to take every thing I wanted. Of course, I didn't blame her"
 In addition to buying clothing and jewelry for herself, the statement re- vealed that Miss Devoe bought a ring for boy acquaintance, made payments on her mothers house and automobile, and helped her sister financially.
 1T was going to tell Clara about it later on. 1 couldn't SC my mother lose her home and everything. l made five or six payments on the house and the car," the statement revealed.
 Miss Devoe. in her defense charged that the alleged confession was wrung from her by third degree ethOdS,

years. Incidentally number of re- tired officers wish to be included in the provisions.
 From the city's standpoint the interesting fact is noted that the bill calls tor an assessment upon ev- cry member affected by the measure Waterbury provides pensions for its firemen and policemen without call ing upon the men to contribute to the fund that cares for their wives and families. Recognizing that a pension for a widow would involve considerable expense the framers of the bill are in favor of making an assessment so that the burden will be borne by the members of the as- sociation.
 Under the present arrangement q widow usually is granted a lump sum by the compensation commissioner and so much of the deceased's week ly salary for specified period of weeks. The new bill would give her life guarantee of a weekly income, One-half of the salary granted to the officer on the day of his retime- ment. This would mean at least $10 week to the widow of policeman killed in the performance of his du- ty or whose death was due to natural causes.
 A state committee meeting was held in New Haven yesterday. Pa. trolman Henry Hayes represented Waterbury. Former Superintendent of Police George M. Beach was also in attendance and took part in the general discussion of facts and fea. lures of the bill.
 No recent developments have oc- cured in the proposed campaign of the state police aid association to have a state law passed granting a retired policeman three-quarters, in- stead of half of his salary New York has a law which gives it's policeman three-quarters of his sal ary on retirement.
 The state aid association has taken official cognizance of the fact that the pension idea is becoming prob lem worthy of serious consideration. It is understood that considera ble sentiment has been aroused in fav- or of policemen making weekly con- tributions or assessments to help their pension fund.
 From all indications the matter will be well discussed at future meet iDpS
