Modernism Declining?

A work Of frank modernistic subject
and style has been awarded the thou
sand dollar first prize at the thirty third
international exhibition of the Car
negie Institute, Pittsburgh. The fortu-
nate painter is Hipolito Hidalgos de
Caviedes, a Spanish colorist, hitherto
known to fame principally for the murals
in the Cafe Fuentelarreyna and the zum
Lustigen Walfisch beer cellar at Madrid.
His canvas is entitled "Elvira and
Tiberio" and represents "an embarrassed
but happy pair of young South Ameri-
can Negroes, all dressed up in their
Sunday best and perched primly on the
edge of an emerald green sofa" Elvira,
1t is explained, has a gay wreath of
pink poppies around her Dolly Vardon
hat" and Tiberio is shown arrayed in
Immaculate white linen set OF
by q magnificent striped shirt" The
jury, asked for reasons for their selec-
tion of the work over three hundred and
sixty-four others submitted, thought
its shrewd color scheme was the deciding
factor"
But who would want the composition
hanging in his parlor? Granted that it
may be an excellent example Of modern
experimentation, how long would any
public gallery retain it in preference to
u picture not handicapped by seasonal
popularity? These questions are fair to
ask, because they are those which time,
careless Of fads and fashions, postulatss
with regard to every fruit of human
genius. It Is not enough to answer that
such an effort is worthy Of preservation
as a specimen Of the thought and feeling
of an epoch. Eternity cares little for the
detail Of history. Rather, 1t demands

No Peace Yet.

Although the past week Witnessed an
easing of tension in the European rami-
fications of the Italo- Ethiopian contro-
versy, it cannot yet be affirmed, on the
basis of anything tangibly authentic,
that peace is in sight. Old World skies
are still beclouded. Along with alleged
conciliatory "soundings" on Mussolini's
part come reports that the Italian army's
supreme push" on all fronts in Ethi-
ppia is due on Monday, which marks
the thirteenth anniversary of the Fascist
march on Rome.
Italy's peace moves" outside OF what
may be going on behind the diplomatic
scenes, consist primarily Of plans to
reduce her garrison in Libya, with which
II Duce has been threatening Egypt. His
hope was that Great Britain would re-
spond by withdrawing portions OF her
naval force In the Mediterranean. There
is no indication that Mussolinis gesture
has had the desired effect. Transfers
of certain units of the feet are imminent,
but replacements are planned which will
leave unimpaired the vast strength which
John Bull has concentrated along his
'1ife line" from Gibraltar to the Suez
Canal. Britain's apparently irreducible
minimum is Italys withdrawal from
Ethiopia, or at least q stoppage of aggres-
sive operations there. OF such inten-
tions Mussolini gives no sign. Nor do
the British reveal any enthusiasm for
she general terms on which Italy re-
putedly is prepared to discuss peace, for
these contemplate annexation of huge
slices of the invaded country and virtual
Fascist domination of the rest OF it.
Ethiopian independence would vanish.
Neither the League of Nations nor Britain
is likely to consider such q peace
debatable.
AS King George, In proroguing Parlia-
fnent expressed his "gravest concern"
over the crisis, oficial predictions were
voiced in London that League measures
against italy will absolutely 60 on While
opening the election campaign in q
broadcast address last night, Prime Min
lister Baldwin left little doubt on that
score. He even went the length of sug-
gesting that economic sanctions may
lead to a naval blockade of Italy, and
acknowledged that "the brunt of the
trouble which may result" will fall on
the British Navy. Mr.. Baldwin hopes
that Britain will not have to act alone,
but indicated her readiness to do so If
necessary He also reafirms British re-
iuctance to 60 into a blockade unless
the government is sure beforehand OF
the attitude of the United States. En-
phasis on that point lends special in
terest to the reply Washington is about
to make to Geneva respecting American
intentions regarding sanctions against
Italy.
The coming week is destined to bring
fateful decisions. AS the zero hour ap-
proaches, Mussolini is left increasingly
certain that his Ethiopian conquest pro-
gram will not be allowed to proceed un-
challenged

Types from all races are seen in the town,
Varied in hue as the leaves blowing

Saffron and bronze of far, sun-soaked

Caucasian, red skins and Moorish
A colorful pageant sweeping thru town.
And the vivid leaves that are blowing

Make a magic carpet for prince and

For the people-throngs from over the

Prismatic colors these days in town
Under glowing skies as the suns 60

That is what two witnesses for
the defense swore Wednesday.
1t must have been somebody
else who laid a ladder against the

carried the child from its crib,

For at 9 80 p. M, 1882, she swore,
her husband led her from the
bakery where she worked and
took her home. 1t was about that
time of night that Colonel Chas.

Restoration Of Pay Cut
Second Defeat To Roose-
welt Program

WASHINGTON. Jan. 81. (UP)
Congress handed President Roose-
welt his second disappointment in
"a hours yesterday when the
house approved restoration of the
remaining five per cent pay cut
for all federal employees April /
The senate approved it Monday.
Compared to the defeat of the
World Court resolution, the pay
cut restoration probably was a
minor disappointment, since Mr..
Roosevelt had allowed, in the bud
get, for restoration July l. But
by advancing the date three
months congress added some $22,-
100000 to federal expenses.
The measure gives each senator
and representative an additional
1925 which may have helped it
speed through both houses.
. Congress also completed its
first appropriation bill, providing
1880, 100000 to run the govern
yment's independent offices next
syear. The house passed it and
Sent it to President Roosevelt for
ihis signature.
\ The senate confirmed the NOM
ination of Frank r. McNinch,
North Carolina Democrat, as
chairman of the federal power
commission, after a bitter party
fight such as only the Democrats
ican stage.
! Chief opposition came from
Senator Josiah w. Bailey, from
McNinch's home state. He accus-
ed the power chairman of violat-
ing the corrupt practices act in
helping campaigning against Al
fred E. Smith in 1928. President
Hoover rewarded McNinch with a
minor post on the commission and
he was reappointed by Mr.. Roose-
welt. Bailey charged him with
''hopping from one party to an
other to gain political rewards"
Republicans left the senate
chamber to the Democrats for the
fight, but Senator George W. Nor
ris, Republican, of Nebraska, foe
of the power trust, stayed to fight
for McNinch.
"McNinch may be rascal, he
said, "but if he is, he's made a
record any man should be proud
of. If McNinch is a traitor be-
cause he supported Hoover, then
1 am a double-dyed traitor be-
cause l supported Al Smith"
