NEW YORK, September ga
painting Of man conversing with a
yak Is just as bewildering to the lay
man today as cubistic cabbages and fu-
turistic fancies were in the early days
when a school of young French artists
went modern"
Conversation With Yak" is the title
of one OF the modern French and Amer
lean paintings now on exhibition. 1t
depicts a huge beast discussing vital
subject with caricature of small,
chubby man.
Sur-ReaIist Exhibit.
In the sur-reaIist group Of the exhib-
iting painters, there is Joan Miro's
"Pomme de Terre," in other words, po-
tato. What one is told is potato or

down near the lower edge of the pic
ture. What looks like modern dream
of a man, while skulls head occupies
most of the canvas. 1t is chalk white.
A thin watch-like object in one corner
has something like caterpillar instead
of flame. Two minute acrobatS in red,
yellow and green tights look like insects.
Davis Stuart exhibits still life of,
according to the title, flowers. 1t EN-
braces number of things that might
be interpreted as flowers. For instance,
there is a huge white tuba from which
little black notes are blown that is I'M
doubtedly a lily. A black object that
resembles an Empress Eugene hat is
found to be leaf. A yellow toy re-

JEFFERSON'S BUST
PLACED IN CAPITOL
Davis Lauds Early President
in Dedication Speech
at Richmond.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, va, September 49,
Thomas Jefferson's supreme service to
his countrymen was that he gave them
their social and, in the truest sense,
their political creed, John w. Davis,
Democratic presidential candidate in
1924, said today at the dedication Ct a
bust of the author Of the Declaration
of independence In the Virginia Cap
ttol.
EARNED with such weapons as Jeffer-
son forged" he said, "lovers of freedom
can still go forth in this faith conquer
ing and to conquer"
Speaker at Ceremony.
Mr.. Davis was the principal speaker
at the ceremony attending the placing
of the bust, gift of French citizens, in
one of the inches of the rotunda CT the
capitaI which Jefferson himself de-
signed. jefferson was Minister to
France from the United States and the
bust is a copy of the bust by the IA
NOUS French sculptor, Houdon.
He referred to Jefferson as "the fore
most liberal of the modern world" and
as "a dreamer who had the priceless
gift of ewing how to make his dreams
come true" Jefferson, he said, was
liberal who believed "the law is but
public sentiment made vocal and that
mans better impulses can be trusted to
prevail"
Briefly reviewing Jefferson's ideal OF
government, Mr.. Davis said they might
be called glittering generalities, but
the light that glances from them Is re-
Hected down the ages"
w,-a1N - . r~..A cos.I
"A tissue of distractions, do you
say? Well, even 50, there runs through
all the weaving like thread OF pur-
est gold, the faith Of q great soul IN
the worth and dignity Of each 1ndtvid-
ilal man." Mr., Davis said.
when democracy as form OF gov
eminent is broadly challenged, as 1t Is
today; when those who thirst for power
or place or privilege seek to entrench
themselves behind unequal laws; whence
Capitalization in government threatens
to strange the rights of its citizens in
its bureaucratic coils; when misguided
virtue strives to make other virtuous by
hedging them about with interdictionS
and restraints: when economy in the
disbursement Of public revenues is Tor
gotten in a mad scramble for govern
mental bounty-thoSe who have the
heart and mind to do battle on the
other side can turn again to Jefferson
and his teachers and gather new
strength and courage for the unending
combat"
More than so descendants Of Jeffer-
son attended the ceremony.

STOCKS ARE LOWER
IN QUIET MARKET
Many Issues Score New
Lows on Reaction at
Short Session. i. ).
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

special Dispatch TO Inc star.
WALL STREET, NEW YORK, July
25.-Stocks drifted downward In desul-
tory trading in today'S week end mar
ket. Volume was. around the record
low for the year. In the first half hour
only 100, 900 shares were sold, and there
was little pickup in business as the seS-
sion went on.
Leading industrials on which atten-
ton was conferred. for one reason or
another, made new lows on the current
reaction, but the losses were generally
only fractional. United States Steel
sold under $50 a share, or less than 2
points above the extreme low for the
bear market, rejecting opinion about
the dividend action at next Tuesdays
meeting. Bethlehem Steel had similar
decline because it, too, is expected to
cut its rate next week. American Can
made a new low on the movement.
The feature ofSthe trading, however,
was that these declines did not bring
any great amount Of selling into the
general list. American Telephone
Standard Gas & Electric and North
American sold of among the utilities.
Western Union was better supported
The motor stocks were relatively steady,
especially Studebaker. Timken Roller
Bearing was weak, less than 2 points
above the years low.
The oils were irregular, heavineSs in
Standard of New Jersey being Sympa-
thetic with recent weakness in Standard
of Indiana on the Curb The lower
priced petroleum shares held very we'll
American Wooden preferred continued
to be strong spot, bought on cumu-
lative evidence of improvement in the
industry.
Rails were very dull, and most Of
them were slightly lower Ability to
translate a loss in gross into q gain
in net, as shown by Southern Pacific
in its June statement, was not sum-
Gent to induce any buying interest IN
the stock. The Missouri Pacific issues
did better than the average
With all the domestic uncertainties
facing 1t and with the situation in Eu-
rope reflected in the heaviness in bank
stocks and the continued weakness in
foreign dollar bonds, 1t would have
been extraordinary if the stock mar
ket had not weakened. That the SELL
ing was no larger than it was again
gave proof to the strong technical posi-
ton. The market cannot be expected
to do much on the constructive side
until after Tuesdays meeting of the
United States Steel directors. Almost
universal acceptance of the belief that
the rate will be cut will go far toward
diScoutning its effect marketwise.

Buying for Profit
BY GEORGE +. HUGHES.

To suggest that an understanding of
the elements Of investment should be
acquired before there are any funds to
invest Is perhaps a counsel Of perfec-
ton. Certainly 1t Is not the practice
of most Of us. We have no interest in
investment theory until we have oppor-
'tunity to practice it.
Probably 1t would be advantageous II
the subject were treated in the sec
ondary school, the student learning, for
instance, the function Of the savings
bank, the place Of the building and loan
association, the distinction between a
stock and bond, the method Of COM
putting the return on each Of these two
kinds Of securities, how the latter may
be realized upon In case of need and
other similar topics, but, as far as the
writer knows, schools make no attempt
along these lines. It would be objected
that a majority would never have any
occasion to use such knowledge, although
that objection might be made against
many other subjects the schools do
cover more or less efficiently.
However that may be. there is always
the classic Illustration, employed effect
lively nowadays in the trust company
advertisements, Of the widow left with
the burden OF managing an estate and
With no idea OF how it should be done.
And then there is the maxim the Better
Business Bureau uses, Investigate before
you invest" to justify, II justification Is
needed, reStatement as simply and as
concisely as may be of these same ele-
mentary investment principles,
To meet this need Is the design of
the series OF articles of which this is
the introduction. 1t is not intended for
the expert. 1t Is not intended for those
who have large sums to invest. 1t is
not intended for the Spectator in the
stock market, experienced or inexperi-
enced, although possibly even he might
derive some benefit therefrom. 1t Is
hoped that 1t will be helpful in direct
proportion to the lack of previous
knowledge on the subject of the reader.
