Fluffy Ruffles," as he suggests, but
insured fitting dignity and virility of
design. Vedder among all the artists
of his period had the greatest plastic
sense and most nearly approached in
his drawings and paintings a Michel
angelo grandeur,
This had made itself felt most
strongly in his illustrations for the
"Rubaiyat" by Omar Khayyam, pro-
duced in 1884. which still stand as an
example of appropriateness and illum-
mating quality among book illustra-
tions. He had also produced his
"Cumean Sibyl." very strong and
impressive work
Born of Dutch American ancestry
in upper New York State in 1896,
Vedder studied first in Paris and then
in Rome, where he settled in 1866 and
remained until his death in 1928.
French art apparently made no i'm
press upon him, but under the in
f1uence of the classic art of Rome his
talent matured and ripened with COM
plete naturalness. 1t is this classic
spirit which dominated his paintings
and illustrative works, and it is this
which we feel most strongly in his

Of trade buyers, and 90 consignment

The ultimate purpose Of these
prohibitions" he explained, "is to
prevent any and every trade practice
that will give one man an unfair
or improper advantage over his COM
cial evils that, like barnacles. foul
the hull OF business and retard the
steady and smooth sailing OF the
ship"
In the opinion of the Federal Al
cohol Administration, nothing con-
nected with the liquor business-with
the exception OF the open saloon
is so offensive to the public or so
conducive to social evils as the un-
regulated advertising OF alcoholic
beverages. Cangress gave the F. A. A.
power to draft the most restrictive
advertising regulations the Federal
Government has ever applied to any
industry.
Pursuant TO this authority" said
Alexander. regulations have been
promulgated which are designed to
eliminate most Of the liquor adver-
tising evils. which. il uncurbed, under
modern high-pressure sales methods,
would create storm of indignant pro-
tests from the public. In inforcine
these regulations. again the Federal
permit is the best and most effective
weapon yet devised"
There is one division Of the F. A. A.
which devotes its entire time to check
ing liquor advertising and passing on
advertising copy submitted by members
of the industry or national advertising
ofIices
Unfortunately" says the admins
traitor, the law does not give the F. A.
A. all the authority 1t needs to control
this phase of the liquor industry. but
gentle admonition and moral suasion
have been effective in keeping much
Of it away from the borderline OF i'm
propriety. BY the regulations and BY
moral power the F. A. A. has prevented
producers from engaging in a mad
contest to see which could make the
most favorable claims for his products.
and so has kept the liquor field free
of type of advertising which. in the
liquor industry. would have been inf
nltely more Objectionable
In the opinion Of the administrator,
additional Federal laws will be neces-
sary before the F. A. A. can carry out
