NEW PATHWAYS IN SCIENCE. BY
Sir Arthur Eddington. New York:
The Macmillan Co.
THE Messenger lectures delivered
at Cornell University In April and
May, 1884, by Sir Arthur Eddington
are collected in this volume. In his
preface the author reviews the subject
matter better than any non-scientific
reviewer could do it. He says that the
different lectures, each on q separate
theme. cover his scientific thought of
the past six years, since the pubhca-
ton OF his three books, Stars and
Atoms" 1.-THE Nature Of the Physical
World and Science and the Unseen
World" In the opening lecture he
explains the philosophical outlook Of
modern science as he understands 1t.
The second gives a summary of ex-
isting knowledge of atomic physics.
The next four are concerned with the
consequences of the statistical type
Of law which has in recent
years completely driven out the older
casual type of law from the founda-
tions Of physics"
There Is then change Of subject
and the next four lectures are de-
voted to astrophysics, the subject

THE painting and sculpture sec
ton, Public Works Branch, Pro-
curement Division Of the Treasury De-
partment, has announced the selection
of II painters and sculptors to
make decorative paintings and works
in sculpture for the new Post once
Department and the Department Of
Justice Buildings. The painters are
Thomas H. Benton, George Biddle,
John Steuart Curry. Rockwell Kent,
Leon Kroll, Reginald Marsh, Henry
Varnun Poore, Boardman Robinson,
Eugene Savage, Maurice Sterne and
Grant Wood The sculptors are Paul
Manship and William Zorach.
Eleven other painters and eight
sculptors to carry out these projects
are to be chosen through limited
competition Of those whose names
were sent in by members of the advis-
ory group but who did not receive
CIlOOBh NOUCo lUI dPPOiLlClllCIlts dIiO
others especially invited. The appoint
ments that have been made we're with
the consent of the architects of the
buildings-Delano e. Aldrich, the Post
Office: Zantzinger & Borie, the De-
partnent of JuStice-and the chairman
Of the Commission of Fine Arts, Charles
Moore. Each artist designated will be
given three months to make prelim-
mary studies and sketches, which will
be submitted to expert judgment and
for the approval of the Commission Of
Fine Arts before acceptance. Then
the work will begin The paintings,
for the most part, will be done on
canvas and attached to the walls, and
therefore need not be done here. But
this work will bring to Washington a
group of important artists and will
offer opportunities for cooperative ef-
fort such as have not occurred for
years-in fact. not since the Library
of Congress was decorated, in the 90s.
This, in itself, is good news and big
news, and although no selection could
be universally satisfactory, the fact
is that when responsibility is laid on
artists and the door Of opportunity
opened wide they do not fail. The
Government has set aside over S95,o00
for this work, and other commissions
are to follow. In fact, all over the
country this work is going on, with
the employment of local artists as far
as possible, and premium put on
achievement and fitness. Such recog-
milton of art and the ability OF the
artist to make contribution to life by
and under the patronage Of the Gov
ernment has never been known in
this country before.
IT MAY be interesting to know who
in the art world are acting in an
advisory capacity to the Government
in the selection Of artists and de-
signs for the decoration Of the new
Government buildings. Six are direc-
tors of art museums and one q curator
of painting. They are Robert B.
Harshe, Chicago Art Institute; Walter
S. Heile, De Young Memorial Museum,
San Francisco; William Milliken,
Cleveland Museum; c. Powell Mimi
gerode, Corcoran Gallery Of Art; Dun
can Phillips, the Phillips Memorial
Gallery; Francis Taylor, Worcester
Museum, and Harry Wehle, Metropoli-
tan Museum, New York. Among the
artists giving their services are Anna
Hyatt Huntington, Bancel La Fargo,
Ernest Peixotto, Eugene Speicher,
Henry SchnakenberS and Jonas Lie.

TN THE National Museum, under the
auspices of the National Gallery
of Art and with distinguished patron
age, opened last Thursday TO continue
through the 30th, an exhibition OF
paintings by two Hungarian artists
sisters, Bertha and Elena de Helle-

latter are arranged in opposite alcoves
on the first floor of the museum build

Constitution avenue, Miss Elena dc
Hellebranth's on the right and Miss
Bertha de Hellebranth's on the left.
This gives opportunity to study the
individual style of each and also TO
make comparison. 1t is the habit of
these sisters to paint the same sub

is marked. Both show paintings OF
Leopold III, King of the Belgians;
of Nicholas Horthy, regent Of Hun

~ ESPITE the allure Of Spring
out Of doors - blossoming
cherry trees and magnolias,
- the songs of birds--the in
terest In art keeps up with
out abatement, exhibitions multiply,
the zeal of enthusiasts increases.
Never before has the local art season
been so lively at this season. In part,
this is due to the Corcoran Gallery's
biennial exhibition, with its IL or IS
galleries of contemporary American
paintings, much discussed, and in part
to the announced development Of
plans for the first annual Greater
Washington independent exhibition, to
consist exclusively of the works of
local artists, which will open April %,
simultaneously in nine department
stores, under distinguished patronage.
But this is not all. The exhibition
habit has been formed and the cry Is
for more and still more. Whether
taste and Judgment keep pace with in
tereSt is different matter, but there
is no doubt that in this new era art
Is keeping step with the current move
ment, and that at least Is well.
THE attendance at the Corcoran
Gallery Of Art since the opening
Of the fourteenth biennial exhibition
has been exceptionally large and much
interest has been shown this week in
the works purchased by the gallery
and others. As announced Wednes-
day, the Corcoran Gallery Of Art has
bought five Of the paintings on dis
play for It's permanent collection, no
one Of which was a prize winner. In
fact, four of the five are by artists of
no great reputation. This Is as 1t

isting between the nationalities Of the
continent, so today world peace is
similarly precarious because Of the
economic disparities existing between
nations" They argue that Fascism
and National Socialism are "expres-
sions of great peoples in revolt against
tional prosperity by their poverty in
natural resources"
The ineVtability Of new and more
disastrous wars Is becoming recog-
nized by thinking people. Mr.. ST.
monds and Mr.. ENEMY show that no
system Of organized peace can be
founded upon the contemporary status
quo of material inequality" Because
of these disparities in material re-
sources, states are collapsing into
Communism and other states are
training their men for war. The
price of peace" then, is the finding
of some peaceful means to abolish in
equaities. Experiments In the post.
war period have not been directed to
this end, but to the preservation of
the economic status quo. The League
of Nations has failed to play the
miraculous role for world peace hoped
and prophesied by its proponents. AS
little hope is offered by Mr.. Simonds
as in his previous books, Can Europe
Keep the Peace?" and "Can America
Stay at Home?" that the economically
favored nations will work out plan
for the satisfaction of the less favored,
and will thus pay the price of peace.
PROVENCE. From Minstrels to the
Machine. BY Ford MADDOX Ford.
Illustrations by Biala Philadel-
phia: J. B. Lippincott Co.
THE life Of Provence has always
been romantic, in the days when
the great trade route from Cathay to
the Cassiterides ran up and through
Provence, in the days OF the trouba-
dours and the courts of love, In the
days of Daudet's Tartarin, and even
today when automobiles dash through
Tarascon, Carcassonne, Mentone and
MarSeilles. Mr.. Ford speaks Of my
Provence" as the place where II have
lived for nearly all my spiritual as
well as a great part Of my physical
life" He hopes that after commun-
ism and fascism have done their
worst to the world, poor. jaded and

Provencals What ne tells us about
Provence is mostly from his own
"reminiscences, with bits of its most
glowing history interspersed.
With the charm and informality
which are inseparable from anything
Mr.. Ford writes, he discusses Proven
cal cookery. the etiquettes of restau-
rants and cafes and how to find good
ones, the luck Of Provence in the
French lottery, the nightingales of
Tarascon, bull fights. the mistral wind
and Mistral the poet, Provencal grape
fruit or pamplemousse, and his warm
but delightful working in his own
garden. Being an epicure, he returns
again and again to menus and wines
and gives some recipes which could be
utilized outside Provence, even though
the goose fat so essential to the old
Provencal cookery might be difficult
to obtain. When one turns away from
gastronomic satisfactions Provence Is
