TYD|NGS DEFENDS
NEW DEAL POLICY
landon Criticized by For
rner Critic of Administra-
tion in Radio Talk.

Senator Tydings, Democrat, OF
Maryland, who frequently has criti-
cized New Deal policies, declared last
night he could not conceive how any
one "can find solace in the outmoded
philosophy of Gov. Landon."
In a radio address given before the
District Lawyers Roosevelt and Gar
ner Club, Senator Tydings accused the
Republican candidate of offering the
Nation the same old policies which,
IN 1929. plunged this country into
economic ruin"
He said every utterance" Of Lam
DON indicated the Kansan backed
policies which prevailed during the
last three Republican administrations.
Reciprocal Trade Treaties.
Criticizing Landon's views on re-
eiprocal trade treaties. the Senator
said, "Mr. Landon presents the pic
ture of a man mounting the horse OF
economic nationalism and riding on
in all directions at one and the same
time"
Tydings said that while much OF
the administrations emergency leg
fslation will need revision, that some
of it was unsound," the accomplish
ments of the Roosevelt administration
should be judged as whole.
John J. Wicker, jr, of Richmond,
former Virginia State Senator, told
the club that from the moment OF
President Roosevelt's inauguration,
I'VE have been surely and steadily
marching forward on the road to re-
covery."
Million Homes Saved.
He said the administration had
saved 100000 homes, the savings OF
millions of bondholders and conserved
the young manhood of the Nation
through the C. c. c.
The speaker, manager of the Home
Home Owners Loan Corporation in
Virginia, said the H. o. l.. C. had
saved an estimated three billion dol
lars of mortgage investments. Sew
enty-five millions spent in repairing
and reconditioning these properties
he said, meant approximately nine
million man-days of employment.
In addition, he said the H. o. L. c.
paid over s228,Oo0,O00 in delinquent
taxes. In Richmond alone. in 1884
he said delinquent tax payments into
the city treasury exceeded 100000.

An International Reputation
Boughton died in 1905 but be-
fore his career ended he had es-
tablished an international reputa-
ton as an artist of great versa
tility. Not only was he famous
in both England and America for
his pictures of the Puritan era
and the Knickerbocker days in
New York, but he was also I'M
usually successful in painting pic
lures of French peasant life.
Several of Boughton's pictures
have become parts of public col
lections. One of his Dutch SUBJ
jects, weeds of the Pavement"
is in the National Gallery of Brit
ish Art. when the Dead Leaves
FALL" an autumn allegory, was
purchased by the king of Italy
for the Municipal Art Gallery in
Rome.
The Corcoran Gallery in Wash
ington, D. c., has two of his
pictures. One is a small affair
on the Lord Fauntleroy order
and the other is historical paint
ing entitled "The Edict of Will
liam the Testy."
Although his pilgrims Co
ing to Church" was painted in
England and first won acclaim
there it is now in the land where
it is most beloved. 1t became
the property of Mrs. K. L. Stuart
of New York and is now in the
Stuart and Lenox art collection
which forms a part of the New
York public library. There it is
seen by thousands every year
but it is a familiar picture to
millions more-because Thanks

Loneliness.
When harmony is desired, and
clashes of temperaments of those
caused by such things as are under
discussion today, exist, it is well
to bring oneself up with a round
turn by thinking of the loneliness
that would be felt if we did not
have our family about us. During
absences from home, or when one
is left there when others are away,
the realization of what it means
to be alone and also together,
creeps into the mind and it is
warmed by the very thought OF
companionship of dear ones.

career. AS a beginner in Amer
lea, while still doing landscapes,
he was planning to sketch some
snow scenes. In order to accli-
mate himself to the rigors
of the New England WIN
ter, he did his drawing for a
time in fireless studio. One day
while working there an elderly
man visited him and became so
concerned over the seemingly
pitiful plight of the struggling
young artist, who was apparently
too poor to afford coal for a stove,
that he reported the matter to a
wealthy woman of the neighbor-
hood in the hope that she would
help Boughton.
She promptly called upon him
and ordered an expensive pic
ture, leaving a check for a large
sum of money to bind the bar
gain. incidentally, the subject of
the painting was to be summer
landscape-about as far removed
from snow and ice and a fireless
studio as one could imagine. A
week later the kind-hearted wom-
an returned to the studio, hoping
to see for herself some CHEEKY
evidence of her benevolence. She
was very much surprised to find
it as cold as ever. This led to
pointed inquiries which soon con-
WINGED her that this struggling
young artist was working in a

TN EVERY family, whether little
l or large, and however small or
spacious the dwelling may be,
there are times when conflicts
arise because of unwanted con-
facts. Some special place may
be desired above all others by one,
or possibly two, in conference and
second or a third person coming
in and wanting that particular
room also is a cause of dissension.
There may be no lack of affection
between the people, but tenn
porary ruffling of personalities
which is disturbing. When living
quarters are congested, tn e e
occasions arise frequently, but
they are not limited to such con-
ditions. There are these con-
vergencies, with their annoying
discords, regardless of space, or
the lack of it, and numbers of
persons, or the fewness of them.
1t would appear to be partly a
similarity of tastes as well as
the popularity of the spot, what
ever it is, that was an element
of the magnetic force drawing the
people together.
Transient DissensiOn.
It is true that instances are rare
in which such trouble is more
than a passing dissension. But
this is enough to set the persons
in bad humors for a few moments
anyway, unless one or more of
them has enough understanding
of the situation to smooth others,
or has a keen sense of humor,
which sense is like oil to ma
chinery in keeping things running
without friction.
COngeniality.
It should be remembered that
congeniality is one cause for this
conveyance of persons. The same
things are liked, the same i'm
pulses are present, and enjoyment
and discord are both caused by
much the same things. Each of
these persons is drawn to the
same things and to the same
mem in home life, there will be
places, and so naturally meet in
the same room in the home, or

Tailor Put Chesterton's
Practical Joke to Profit

On one occasion the late G. K.
Chesterton came upon sign in
a humble tailor's window which
read: 'This style made to meas
ure, ass" Now Chesterton weighed
224 pounds and looked every
ounce. Thinking to embarrass the
tradesman, he went in. The en-
terprising tailor took his measure
without a murmur. He was told
to come back in two weeks. Out
of curiosity, he did so.
In the window he saw his suit
adjoining an elephantine and i'm
provised dummy, and under it
the legend, eve made this suit for
Mr.. Chesterton for ass. No order
too big for us. Morning Post.

shaped the ideas of Americans
concerning the kind of people
who settled New England and
made it easy for them to visual
ize the life of those pioneer times.
Certainly it is true that we get
a more vivid impression of those
early New Englanders from
Boughton's famous painting,
which is seen so often at Thanks
giving, than we do from Bart
let's words which provided the
inspiration for it. Boughton set to
work on this picture in 1866 and
finished it in time for the Royal
Academy's exhibit the next year.
It was his only contribution to
that exhibit but it was enough
to establish his reputation as a
real artist.
Concerning it one English crit
ic said: ''The pathos and dra-
matte strength of the composition
and the vigor of the technical
treatment made this work mark
eddy successful and put Mr..
Boughton finally among the most
prominent of the younger artists
with original ideas and skill much
above the average" But even
more Illuminating is the comment
of an American critic: ''It re-
quires no art education to I'M
derstand the hold the painting
has from the first had upon the
public. The picture of that brave

Nov that Thanks giving
L Y Day will soon be here,
you may be sure that you'll be
looking at certain picture
rather frequently. You've seen
it many, many times-in books,
in newspapers, in magazines, in
poster displays, in school ex-
hibits, in art stores. It's one
of Americas favorite pictures
and because it has been repro
duced or displayed so regularly
around Thanksgiving time, it
has become almost as much a
symbol of that day as roast
turkey, pumpkin pie and cram
berry sauce.
The celebration of Thanks
giving Day is a distinctively
American institution. There
tore 1t would seem appropriate
that all of the symbols con-
nected with it should also be
purely American. So this pic
ture of an early American scene
should have been the product
of an American artist and
painted in this country. But it
wasn't. 1t was painted by an
Englishman in England, and
Englishmen gazed upon it long
before it had the admiring APP
proval of American eyes.
George Henry Boughton was
his name and his painting, which
was destined to become such a
favorite in America, was first
shown in London at the Royal
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1936-11-19

Acadeny's exhibit in 1867. When
Boughton painted it he had no
idea of associating it with the
American Thanksgiving Day eel
ebration nor did he ever dream
that it would become a symbol
of that celebration.
Moreover, he gave it an en-
tirely different title from the
name by which we know it. He
called it early Puritans of New
England Going to Worship Armed
to Protect Themselves From In
dams and Wild Beasts" But we
Americans, preferring 'some-
thing short and snappy," even
in the titles of our historical pic
lures, shortened that to "Puri-
tans Going to Church" Then with
a fine disregard for the historical
difference between the Puritans
and the Pilgrims, we changed
that title to the one by which
the picture is now best known
pilgrims Going to Church.
Inspiration for the Painting.
OF course, it's possible that the
artist himself disregarded the
difference between those two
groups of Massachusetts, pio-
neers. For the theme of the pic
ture was suggested to him by
