PAINTERS ASK RIGHT
TO ROYALTIES ON WORKS
Attack Reproductions, Claiming
Loss of Revenue Protected for
Writers and Musicians.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December IA. - A
group of American painters, headed
by John Sloan, president of the So
ciety of Independent Artists, issued
an appeal yesterday for recognition
Of royalty rights similar to those
enjoyed by writers and musicians.
They asserted that reproduction OF
works of art for use in the home or
elsewhere is approaching stage al
ready attained in the fields Of writing
and music and that the artist should
benefit from the distribution of his
work instead of having possible profits
accrue to the person or institution
which have possession of the original
work.
Institutions which own or buy works
of living artists were called upon to
recognize this right.
In addition to Sloan, the proclama-
tion was signed by Alexander Brook,
William Gropper, Alfred Stieglitz,
George O'Keeffe, John Marin, Mars
den Hartley and Arthur Dove.

ROAD BUILDING
AID DEVELOPED
Bureau Of Public Roads Engineer
Finds New Method to Test
"Free" Water.

A simple way to determine the
amount Of "free" water and absorbed"
water In sand used in q concrete mix
ture involves the use Of Q small cone
lightly tamped with sand. This
method has been developed by the Bu-
reau Of Public Roads. Using this test
1t Is easy to produce a condition in
which the pore spaces In the sand
grains are completely filled with water
without any free" water adhering to
the surfaces of the particles. The
moisture present when the sand is In
this condition Is called the absorbed"
moisture. ANY excess over this
amount Is called "free" moisture. Bu-
reau engineers point out that the test
makes possible much simpler and a
more accurate method Of making al
lowance In the water added to batch
Of concrete for variations in free"
moisture In the sand. The test is USE
full both In the laboratory and in
field control of concrete mixtures.
It Is the so-called 'free" moisture
In concrete mixtures that dilutes and
weakens the cement paste. Only a
small part Of the water used In mix
ing concrete Is needed for complete
hydration of the cement. The rest of
the water lubricates the mix so that it
may be placed uniformly and without
dificulty. Free moisture in sand in
unknown quantity upsets the scientific
proportioning Of concrete.
The test was developed by D. o.
Woolf, associate materials engineer in
the Bureau. Moist sand containing
free water can be shaped into molds
by light pressure. Dry sand cannot
be nodded. After experimenting with
cones of many shapes, Woolf found
that sand-lightly tamped into an in
verted cone with top diameter Of
~ inches and bottom diameter Of
31z inches-contains free moisture If
1t holds its shape when the cone is
removed. At the point where the sand
slumps upon removal of the cone, free
moisture Is gone.
Many methods Of determining when
sand Is surface dry have been sug-
gested, but extensive study by the
bureau has shown that most of these
methods are either likely to be mac
curate or so delicate that their use
