CHICAGO, January 1.-The retail

United States today needs 1,750,000

those homes requires the things sold
by the retailers.
"Your business last year was a
billion dollars-far below normal" he
said, "yet with the development OF a

God only knows what Is going to be

awards will probably be made in ad-
vance of the opening of the exhibition.
FOLLOWING less than four weeks
on the heels of the Corcoran
Biennial will come this year a
Greater Washington Exhibition" to
consist of works by local painters,
sculptors and etchers, which, opening
April %, will be held for month in
seven or more local department stores.
This multiple showing. styled Annual
Independent Art Exhibit" is being
arranged by a committee, of which
Mrs. Eugene Meyer is chairman and
on which are Mrs. Samuel A. Swig-
gett, Miss Mabel T. Boardman, George
w. White, Frank r. Jelleff, Duncan
Phillips and c. Law Watkins. There
are, in addition, busineSSmen'S COM
mittee, women'S club committee and
an art committee. Each department
store sharing il the exhibit will con-
tribute a 500 purchase prize, besides
which additional prizes will be do
mated. Each painter will be limited to
three large or five small canvases or
water colors. The works selected will
be distributed inpartially by an art
committee, an out-of-town artist
serving as Judge and jury. passing
upon works submitted and awarding
prizes. 1t is the declared purpose Of
the governing board and cooperating
agencies to give every Washington
artist chance.
While this plan has some unique
features, it is not new, Department
stores in New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago, Los Angles and San Francisco
have all in recent years co-operated
in somewhat similar enterprises.
Thomas Craven. in brief ar
ticle in New York newspaper
recently suggested that the de-
partment stores undertake the art
business seriously" bringing up the
standard of their stock and creating
on business basis market for good
current work. To him this is logical
sequence to the new movement set in
motion by the P. w. A. P. and other
agencies such as the municipality of
New York, and now in full swing
Rightly handled, it undoubtedly has
possibilities. But, as Mr.. Craven him
self remarks, there are dangers at
tached to traff1cing in art which must
be avoided. However. the more sup
port that is given to local art locally, !
the better, and despite the Corcoran's
rival attraction-the Biennial con-
tinues until May sand the lateness
of the season, it is earnestly hoped |
that the experiment will prove sue

CLAsH1NG TIDES OF COLOUR. BY
Lothrop Stoddard. New York:
Charles Scribner's Sons.
A MONG the students of interna-
= tional affairs who have travelled
widely and have applied the expert
ence of history to current problems,
Lothrop Stoddard Is one of the clear
est of thinkers and clearest and most
interesting of writers. He has previ-
ously discussed the world situation
produced by twentieth century forces,
eliminating in the World War and
leaving menacing aftermath, in his
books-"The Rising Tide of Color"
"Reforging America" THE Revolt
Against Civilization" and Racial
Realities in Europe" He begins this
new volume with a description of "a
world in disintegration," the result
of Armageddon. In this world old
certitudes are lost. Western white
supremacy has declined, nationalism
is rampant and clash of races seems
imminent. Mr.. Stoddard asks: rs
adjustment possible?" and the OBJ
ject of his book is to consider the
question from many points Of view,
especially those of the Western world,
China, Japan, India and Islam.
Some of the forces which have dis
rupted European white solidarity are
the economic withdrawal of Russia
and her turning toward Asia, the
aloofneSs of the United States, the
state of flux in South America, French
colonial policy, the hypertrophy of
nationalism in Fascist Italy and Nazi
Germany. All of these elements pre-
vent true comfy of the West.
Meanwhile. in the East IAN entire
order of life seems to be passing away.

THE WHITE-HEADED EAGLE. John
Mclaughlin, Builder of an Empire.
BY Richard G. Montgomery. New
York: The Macmillan Co.
IN THE first half of the nineteenth
century John Mclaughlin, en-
ploye of the North West Co.. rival of
the Hudson's Bay Co., married an In
dian half-breed Of superior abilities
and character and with her help be-
came one Of the most important fig
ures in the fur trade of the Northwest.
The struggle between the two great fur
companies centered in 1919 on the
possession Of Athabasca, which the
North Westers had actually held for
some years and had found there some
of their finest furs: now the HudSon's
Bay Co. was determined to wrest 1t
from its rival. DR.. John went to Lon
don to work for the interests Of his
company and succeeded in bringing
about merger between the two COM
panies, to the advantage of both, for
if such action had not been taken
Parliament would sooner or later have
intervened in the quarrels. DR.. Johns
task was now diplomatic one, to
reconcile the North Westers to what
was practically their absorption, and
through his skill harmony was soon
effected. He became chief factor for
the enlarged Hudson's Bay Co. and
put in many years in the fur trade in
the Columbia River region. He founded
a trading post at Vancouver, where
his autocratic but benevolent rule
contributed a glowing chapter to the
romance of the Northwest. His name
Of the White-H Headed Eagle was given
him by the Indians, who loved and
trusted him because of his kindness
and justice. Later in his life, when
the Oregon controversy brought into
question the control of the Columbia
River and the claims of the HudSon'S
Bay Co., he again played diplomatic
part. His life ended in tragedy. His
biography tells the story of one of the
most heroic and able figures in the
early history of the West, and Mr..
Montgomery, who has gathered his
materials for it from Hudson's Bay Co.
records and other original sources, has
done his subject full justice.

about 1900 that he had his first one

education of the blind and deaf mutes,
the care of the insane and feeble

Of teaching the blind, he was i'm
prisoned by the Prussian government
for aiding Polish refugees. Returning
to America, he founded the Perkins

MING YELLOW. BY John P Mar
quand. Boston: Little, Brown
& Co.
WHETHER or not the China pic
tured in Ming Yellow" is one
of the many real Chinas will make
little difference to lovers of a good
yarn for its own sake. This Is one.
The intrigue begins in the first chap
ter and continues, with surprises,
until the last sentence. The principal
characters, with the exception of the
war lord, Gen. WI; the bandit chief,
.Hei Chi, and his lieutenant, the
Golden-haired Rat, give every init
nation Of what they are going to be
like also in the first chapter, and
their peculiarities have much to do
with the development of the plot,
which is as it should be. The title
comes from the famous imperial
Chinese pottery, Ming Yellow, used
exclusively for imperial religious cere-
monies during the Ming dynasty. It
Is so rare that Mr.. Marquard believes
not over fifty to a hundred pieces
are in existence, of which he was so
lucky as to acquire one during his
recent visit to China.
Edward Newall, American mil
lionaire, is in China for a rest "a
strange place to select) because his
specialist has told him that without
it he will probably not live year.
But he has never learned to rest and
he has another motive in Peking, to
collect as many pieces of Ming Vel

York millionaire, Rose, gets them.
