ducing the design in reverse. Miss
Meiere explained how much time it
would take for an artist to put together
his own design and how much more
skillful in the use of the little pieces
the trained artisans were.
She strongly advocated simplicity in
pattern, and deprecated all inclination
to initiate painting After dealing quite
fully with the technical side of
mosaics. Miss Meiere showed stereopti-
con slides of some of the finest mosaics
in Europe, sharing with her hearers
her enthusiasm and stressing their
outstanding features. While this talk
could not be properly classed as a
demonstration" it took its place with
the demonstrations tnat have been
given this season and last under the
auspices OF the Washington Society of
Fine Arts, inasmuch as it initiated
those in attendance into the artists
viewpoint and way of working.
Mosaics by Hildreth Meiere are to
be seen here in the Academy of Science
Building on Constitution avenue. In
st. Matthews Church, on Rhode Island
avenue. are mosaics by the late Edwin
H. Blashfield, interpreted by Salvatore
Lascari. fellow of the American Acade-
my at Rome, as we'll as panels by Ban
eel La Fargo. who is also represented
by Is altar panels of saints and
martyrs in the National Shrine, Brook

late Elihu Vedder.

her audience into her confidence as

acquainting them with the difficulties
as well as the joys Of production.
To her the delight of mosaic is its
refraction of light from, broken sur
faces giving what she described as a
life-giving quality. Especially, she ex-
planned, is this true of mosaic in glass.
The majority of glass used in mosaic,
she told her listeners. is made at
Murano, near Venice, and the regula-
tions governing its importation into
this country are such that American
mosaic makers are now turning to
other materials.
In the distant past the artist ac-
tually set the mosaics he designed, but
for many years now it has been Gus
tomary for the setting to be done by
expert craftsmen from the artists

lowed, it seems, is somewhat like that

mann's. The War forced her to come
back to this country in 1914, at which
time she turned her attention to
etching and worked for a while with
George Senseney, formerly Of this
city but then of Provincetown.
In the making of dry portraits she
quickly proved herself adept and the
delicacy, grace and charm of these
brought her into favorable notice.
All this gave excellent foundation for
the work she was later to do when
opportunity for travel in the East pre-
sented. In Java and Bali she made
numerous portraits, drawings in pas
tel of natives-a work which she con-
tinued along similar lines in Yucatan

TWO STRINGS
TOOLS ACTIVE
IN CUT BANK

There were but two strings OF
tools working in Cut Bank oil and
gas field this week, one Of them
in the Big Bend pool, six miles
south Of Cut Bank and the other on
the East Nose. rs miles northeast
of Cut Bank.
Both wells will be completed
within the next 10 days or two
weeks, probably bringing drilling
activity to a complete standstill
for the first time since 1888.
Sixty six wells have been drilled
in the field this year, and whereas
normally drilling crews would be
taking advantage OF the Indian
summer weather, they have stacked
their tools early this year because
Of the market curtaiIment.

Under ordinary conditions Mon
tana crude oil producers employ a
large number of men; and their
pay-rolls amount to a very substan-
tial sum, practically all of which
is spent within the State. Under
present conditions a large number
of wells are shut down ON account
of no market for the crude oil.
Hundreds of men are out of work
while several large importing oil
companies are getting their crude
oil from points outside Of the State.
This not only deprives the State
from the revenue to which it is
entitled, but it also deprives a large
number of Montana men OF means
of livelihood. This is truly a serious
situation and one that merits care
full consideration.
During the past week we have
talked to an employee of the State
who was driving a car owned by
the State and upon which the State
of Montana was paying the gasoline
bill. We were informed by this
employee that the purchase Of gaso-
line for the car was optional with
him-that he could buy any kind
Of gasoline that he saw fit; and that
as far as he was concerned it did
not make any difference whether
or not the State was being deprived
Of tax revenue to which 1t was en-
titled. In our Bulletin No. we
pointed out that the State of Mon
tana was being deprived of ap-
$20O,00O0O annually
the loss of gross produc-
ton taxes, and that this amount
must he made up in the form OF
Jther taxes, and that we must all
bear our proportionate share of this
oss. It would seem TO us that It
would be just common sense and
rood business for the State to in
list that their army Of employees
ising state owned automobiles be

would go a long ways In keeping |

to the ears Of most Montana OPP

reality for most OF us for the past
two or three years. We have never
been jubilant about it, but we fac
ed facts and have accepted 1t. True
IL Is that some operators have never
experienced proration, although

knows distress without sooner or
later being in distress yourself A
little cooperation at this time by
