 Superior Court Judge D. F. Wright, who suspended the fine, commented: T am following the recommendation because of the fact that the bribe was merely offered, but had it been accepted I would have been inclined to show no leniency whatever"

metry that he employs is not of
the kind to give offense to people
who seek a spark Of reality in
their art, but Of the kind that
gives pleasing lines to natural rep
reSentation.
The geometric design lends It.
self very effectively to the sub
jects Of Giles paintings. His
lighthouses off the coast Of Maine
are straight in dramatics, and the
canyons of Arizona are built up
with the strong lines OF an artist
sure of his medium.
Giles began as an illustrator.
He was first with the Art Students
League of New York, and then he
went to Harvard. In 1915 he took
the first of a long series OF prizes
when he was awarded the Shaw
purchase and illustrator prizes OF
the Salmagundi Club.
Now an artist of so years Of age,
he is a member of the National
Academy Of Design and well
known throughout the country.
His work is in the leading muse
ums of the country and in many
private collections. For many
years he served as dean OF the
faculty Of Fine Arts at the Master
Institute of Roerich Museum.
Giles colors are among the most
striking features of his work. The
whites and grays of his lighthouse
scenes and the reddish quality OF
his canyons are dramatic beyond
description.
The exhibition will continue I'm.
til June and may be seen on
week days between 1890 a. m. and
5 p. m. and on Sundays from tU

Novel Of
Today

Readers take up Richard Aiding
ton for beauty of style rather than
plot. His characters are not only
set in their ways, but pretty set
in their situations. Nevertheless,
Mr.. Aldington's philosophical ram
blings make an inspiring recital
of the simplest adventures.
AS Mr.. Arlington says, it's easy
to laugh at the fecklesS ambition
of a pennileSs youth worrying over
the fate Of the whole species when
ne can't even manage his own
life" But the spectacle of Chris
topher Heylin setting himself
the task of a superman. OF a gen

It's pretty pitiful. Partly be-
cause Chris is a very human fell
low with a very sharp intelli-
gence. What he wants to know
is why should I be poor and
thwarted in a world of such poten-
tial plenty?" The answer is that
he is also proud and too prin-
cipled to let his scheming parents
marry him off to the woman OF
their choice. They succeed in his
sisters case, or rather, they sue
coed in sacrificing his sister at
the altar. But Chris balks and
thus begins another story.
There's no denying that Mr..
Arlington lets off lot OF steam.
Very Heaven" might easily be the
authors housekeeping. However,
he tackles problems familiar to US
all. In the end, Chris refuses to
be downed by defeat.
Such a decision, rising out OF
bleak despair, rings far truer than
the sentiment of the estimable Mr..
William Wordsworth, who once re-
marked: Bliss, was it in that
dawn to be alive, but to be young
was very heaven" However, that
was how Mr.. Arlington got his
title, so we shouldn't complain.

Sugar-Coated
Lessons

It's q very smart person who
can fool a child into learning a
lesson. But, it certainly looks
like David Eugene Smith will be
able to teach your child some
thing about mathematics with his
new book while they enjoy it with
out a thought that it carries the
encomiurn Of a school book.
It is in fact a far cry from the
dry two and two makes four les
sons in most mathematics. DR..
Smith unfolds some of the stories
about figures and numerals. He
gives a little history Of their use
and he explains how to perform
some tricks with them.
The book is entitled 1.-THE Won
derful Wonders of One Two
Three" It is illustrated by Bar
bara WINS and will be worthwhile
as an amusing tid-bit for adults.

berg, Eleanor of Aquitaine GER
tainly led a full life.
The story begins when Eleanor
was IS years Of age. Her father
had Just died, leaving her the
richest heiress in Europe, and the
King had granted her fathers dy-
ing wish that she should marry
the heir to the throne. From that
point on, as it can well be mag
ined, Eleanor begain to make her
mark in the world. In fact, she
entered into international politics
and international courtship like
a duck taking to water, and was
so world famous that her actions
left their imprint on her countries
centuries after her death.

they are and human beings what
They Are the reader Of "T'he Up
side Down Murders" must admit
that he or she was given a fair
and square chance, but that it's
just one of those things. Two OF
the best equipped finder-outers OF
the guilty party have failed on
this one already.
1t is murder at the Big Top
that brings Lieut.. P. D. Quint
right into the picture. The Big
Top by the way is large amuse-
ment center turned into a cross
between a night club and a circus.
Just when it looks most like a
night club it is a circus and vice
versa.
The plot is one Of those kind
that doesn't leave you hanging
around for someone to make con-
versation before you are let IN
on a few of the secrets.
Things begin happening right
off. There is the animal trainer
who looks guilty, the politician
who might be in it, the manager
who admits he might, couple OF
people in love. man and his wife
and a chimpanzee. If the reader
likes a problem in fingerprlntS
with an able staff to do all the
scientific research this is the book.
But pretty soon of course there
is a second murder which accom-
plishes only one thing in readers
mind. It definitely convinces the
reader that neither of the dead
men was the murderer which
after all is getting along.
But don't be dismayed. The
Lieutenant found the answer in a
pool. and his assistant knew it all
along.

An unusual little volume Is
"Uncle Rene's Memoirs. 1t pur-
ports to be part of legacy left
to several heirs by rather man
of-the-world uncle who always
seemed somewhat of a mystery to
them because he never married.
It contains 10 episodes and a
conclusion. The episodes from the
pen of Uncle Rene reveal his con-
quests. Each has a different SET
ting for Uncle was a much trav-
eled man
The piquancy of the stories are
all in their telling. The incidents
are far above the average OF such
offerings in the beautiful settings
in which he places his adventures.
AS Uncle Rene said in the letter
accompanying the stories which ex-
plains very clearly what to expect:
my Dear Heirs: All Of you have
leased me so necessarily during my
lifetime about not taking unto my
self a wife that have written from
time to time, leisurely, since my
sixtieth year, a little memorandum
Of my society with women. The 10
episodes and conclusion herein
related are the sum total of my
intimate associations with them
these and no more.

the peculiar mystery of my blessed
singleness, which seemed to have
caused you so much concern"

Boats

Boats
The Arts Club of Washington IS
showing the work of teacher and
pupil in the paintings and prints
of Mildred B. Miller and Dorothy
McEntee, respectively.
The oils and water colors Of
Miss Miller, of Burlington, N. j.,
are fine pieces of work. Although
in some Of her work there is an ap-
preciable lack of strength, the ar
fist reaches the heights of superb
painting in her boat paintings.
Each one of her many boat
paintings is full of strength and
character. They are compelling,
like the ships themselves. And
though it may be that this critic
is prejudiced by prediction for
all marine paintings, it is never
theless true that Miss Miller's pic
lures of boats in harbor are ex-
traordinarily admirable.
Miss Miller was formerly an in
Structor at the Country School of
the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Arts and now conducts summer
painting classes at Cape May, N.
j., where many Of her pictures
were done during the past two
summers.
Her awards are as follows:
European scholarship in 1914 and
1915 and Mary Smith prize by
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Arts, 1920, 1881; honorable men
ton, Chester County Art Associa.
ton, 1885; Silver Medal, Plastic
Club, 1887. She is represented in
the permanent collections of the
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Arts and the Fellowship, p. A. F.
A. She is also a member of the
Philadelphia Art Alliance and the
Philadelphia Water Color Club
and Plaster Club.
Miss McEntee, who studied with
Miss Miller at the Pennsylvania
Academy Country School, is now
a teacher in the New York City
High School Of Vocational Art. She
is graduate of Pratt Institute and
a member Of the Print Club of
Philadelphia, Philadelphia water
Color Club and the American
Water Color Club. One of her
prints was reproduced in wood

Her prints are attractive and
decorative. They are mostly wood

the traditional style. In addition,
her exhibition includes some very
lovely color prints done in almost
miniature style.

 800 Vacancies
 According to the state commis- sioner there will be 300 positions filled this fall, with about 400 to 800 of these being new teachers.
 During the summer in Water bury the board of education has met only once so there are no exact fig ures on possible resignations which might have been rendered during the summer. It Is believed, however, that such resignations, If there have been any, will not cause any con- sternation in regard to a Waterbury teacher famine.
