nR. WHEELER is emeritus professor

the 70s, as he entered the Harvard
Medical School in the Autumn Of
1875, Immediately after graduation
from the University of Vermont
There were at that time no legal re-
strictions on the practice of medicine,
but young men who were ambitious
to be something other than quacks
usually went to some medical school,
the curricula at the best Of which
were meager and casual. A years

surgical work. Anesthesia had been

siding in the Senate or at work in
his office-data very carefully assem-
bled and skillfully employed by the
artist. The expression and attitude
are alert and the pose very well chosen.
From the canvas the Vice President,
at his ease and thoughtful, looks d.
rectly toward the observer as If about
to speak. In his left hand he holds
a lighted cigar.
Equally impressive and strongly
painted are portraits of about the
same size and somewhat similar
character Of Surg. Gen. Robert U.
Patterson and of Col. william /.
Keller, also an eminent surgeon. Both
are very simple and direct in treat
ment. In both instances, attention
is focused in the face and hands,
the latter being painted very signif-
cantly and as equally indicative Of
character.
Another notable painting in this
group is of Justice Brandeis. This
has spiritual quality and searching
analysis of character. A smaller por-
trait of DR.. Edward B. Meigs Of this

sesses some of the same intense

1885,. BY Hendrix Willem Van

ter.
w WHETHER Mr.. Van Loon
writes about the story Of
wv mankind or the story Of
the Bible, about America
or Holland, about geog-
raphy or adventure, about Rembrandt
or an elephant, he is always enter
tanning and instructive, without being
pedantic. (He would hate that. And
his ability to draw striking. often hu-
morous, sketches to illustrate his own
books Of course adds many units to
their interest. He has always been
attracted by the history Of discovery
and adventure and the history Of
Holland, his native land, has been so
involved with the sea that for him the
sea has had unusual magic. This latest
book Of his Is the logical sequel OF
1.-THE Golden Book Of the Dutch Navi-
gators" "a Short History of Discov-

With a subject Of such wide ap-

his most popular books.

That industrial plants and labor sub
jects were so often chosen is per-
haps indicative Of q reaching out
for idealism in this direction. OBJ
viously it may be argued that in order
to interest the masses we must have
mass production and that the common
man is attracted by common art.
But this is not so. The greatest works
of art have made appeal and been
held generally in high esteem, be-
loved and revered. America is sup
posedly materialistic, but to desire
something, as well as some one to look
UP to, is essentially an American trait
and 1t holds good In art as in other
fields and affairs. There can be no
doubt Of it. Artists, knowing the
enormous technical difficulties of paint
ing, often see merit in q work that
has no message for the general pub
lie. This explains Why some perplex-
ing prices are awarded and purchases
made for ait museums by professional
committees. But, strangely enough, it
is the laymen's judgment which in the
end prevails-the laymen's estimate
which fixes values.
A SCENDING to the third floor of
- the Labor Building one finds, in
the northeast lobby an exceedingly
interesting collection of prints-etch-
ings, Autographs. woodblocks- view,
all Of which are Of industrial subjects
or laborers, and by accomplished
printmakers. The collection has been
well chosen. In subject and treat
ment varied, 1t manifests as q whole
how rich q source this Is for art
expression. Here one sees pictorial
representations of great engineering
works, derricks, steel structures, manu-
facturies, FORCES, building operations,
farming, fishing and many other activ-
tiles through which man earns live
lihood, activities which call for large
courage and great skill. And what is
more, here these subjects are seen so
rendered that they carry conviction
and are significant of things funda-
mental, mans mastery of Nature and
the machine. In these simple prints
there Is something very stirring and
worth remembering. The majority
are genuine works of art and the
artists represented are conservative
and progressive, traditional and mod
ern, and yet in accord. Among those
represented are Ralph Pearson and
Mahonri Young, Hopper and Mickey,
Clifford Beal and Wanda Gag, Wen
genroth, the photographer; Mason and
Lankes, makers Of woodblocks and
engravings; Mabel Dwight, John
Steuart Curry, Ronnebeck, LoZowick
and others equally well known. And
aside from their subjective interest,
how delightful these prints are. How
skillfully wrought and with such I'M
Outstanding Of what to leave unsaid!
These artists command their media
to good purpose and they are essen

the present time and day. This little

and where could you find two love-
lier models than those shown today.

panels and that fashionable half-belt-
ed waistline. The upper design gives
fine opportunity for using rick-rack
braid to set off the lines of its smart
V neck and spacious pockets. The
lower sketch boasts youthfully
rounded neckline and jaunty capelike
shoulders, and would be as pretty as
can be made up in a dainty dotted

of the Imagination to foresee how
many workers will be necessary to do
just the plain chores of keeping a
record of all the individuals on the
government payrolls, federal and state,
for administration of this legislation.
Here in Washington, we will have a
social insurance board, group OF
three members, receiving $4,000 a
year each and serving for six years.
The federal emergency relief admins
traitor will have duties to perform In
conjunction with the social insurance
board as well as apart from it. The
secretary of labor is given jurisdiction
over some phases of the administration
and the public health service is
charged with conduct of the health
insurance phases.
This is not all. The secretary of the
treasury is charged with the manage
ment and investment of all of the
monies under the various funds and it
is he who must see that they are
properly disbursed.
In congress, considerable jealousy
has arisen among committee chairmen,
