The story Of how realism and i'm
pressionism became storm centers OF
the artistic and cultural world OF the
late 18th century eventually to win
public approval, was told last night
by DR.. Fritz Marti in the ninth OF
series of radio broadcasts on The
Stars art appreciation campaign.
DR.. Marti, head of the department of
philosophy and professor of art at
the, University of Maryland, related
over Station WMAL that the impress
sionist school of artists apparently
derived its label from picture Claude
Monet sent to an exhibition about
1874.
1T was called Impression of the
Rising Sun 1t was sensation" DR..
Marti said. Most of the critics de-
rided it, laughed at it, jokingly called
Monet that impressionist.'
DR.. Marti spoke on a broadcast
made possible through courtesy of the
National Broadcasting Co. 1t was
his second in behalf of The Stars
movement to popularize art in the
Washington area. He was introduced
by s. H. Kaufman of The Star and
was interviewed by James E. Chinn
OF The Star reportorial staff on hu-
man interest stories from the lives
and works of four great artists asso-
ciated with the realism" and impress
sionism" schools in France.
Monet Leader of School.
One of these artists was Monet,
leader of the school, whose famous
painting, 1.-THE Seine Near Argenteuil'
Is one Of the four color reproductions
in the ninth group of Star pictures
which went on sale yesterday at the
special art booth on the first floor
of The Star Building.
The others in this weeks set are
After the Hunt" by Gustave Courbet
Two Dancers" by Edgar Degas and
Third Glass Carriage" by Honore
Daumier.
Just what is impreSsionism?" Mr.
Chinn asked DR.. Marti in the broad
cast.
There is nothing mysterious about
IT," replied the art professor. Monet
and his followers merely ignored de-
tails of a scene and painted only theil
general impression of 1.-THE splotches
of sunlight on the side of a cathedral
tIe lights falling across haystacks
sails on blue sea, and so on. No at.
. tempt was made to draw the fine cor
nices Of a building, the pieces of straw
In the stack, the yard or lines which
held the sail. They strove to achieve
the general effect of view, to inter.
pret the impression it left on a casua
ehserver.

HUMAN CLOCKS SEEK AID

CHICAGO, Dec. 7 up. - Two
human clocks" were listed at the
Hines Hospital today for diagnosis.
Charles w. Hester. 43-year-old
Oklahoman, was the first to seek a
cure at the hospital for ticking in
the head. Yesterday Mrs. Josephine
Kaumanns Of Chicago sought aid for
the same affiiction.
Hester said his head began ticking
after a shell exploded near him during
the World War Mrs. Kaumanns. a
widow with four children, told physi-
clans ticking audible to persons sew
eral feet away began in her head last
March while she was using tele-
phone.

Rise of Impressionism in Art
Described by DR.. Fritz Marti
Monet, Leader of School, Stood Ground
and Won Out, Professor Says in
Star Broadcast.

"Of course this was drastic change
from the careful painting which was
considered ideal since the time of
David, but actually impressionism was
not entirely new, But it created tenn
pest Of criticism in Monet's time"
Broke Down Resistance. .
How did the impressionists over
come the prejudice against their
works?" Mr.. Chinn asked. -
1T was not accomplished overnight"
explained Dr. Marti, "and Monet's
friends, who included the artists Ma
net, CeZanne, Degas. Renoir and the
writer's, Duranty and Zola, stood their
ground and finally after years of
struggle, broke down the resistance
which first met them on all sides.
Monet, by 1880. was quite famous and
we'll fixed financially. He aided his
lesS-fortunate companions"
Dr. Marti told about the tempestuous
career of Courbet. whom he termed
'one of the most eccentric figures in
the history of art, happy when he was
differing with the art critics, with the
government, even with his friends
independent, self-willed, boastful to
ridiculous degree. Courbet was the
first 10Th century French painter to
break away from the romanticism Of
the period Immediately preceding him.
In 1885," DR.. Marti related, "he
painted large allegorical picture
intended to depict his art career.
When the Universal Exposition re-
fused to accept the work, Courbet set
up his own exposition across the street
from the salon and erected q sign,
M. Courbet-RealiSm, and under
meath was the notation: It's better
here than across the street His
exhibition was dismal failure, how

IN FEBRUARY

The Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company reports net
profit before dividend of $163,8
in February, against $181 100 in
the like month of last year. For
the first two months the balance
before dividend amounted to $344,-

the corresponding 1886 period.
Operating revenues and operat.

Among the industrial machinery
group, manufacturers of steel mill
equipment are hard pressed to
keep UP with the influx of new
orders. According to the Iron and
Steel Institute, the steel industry
plans to spend about 1920, 900, 900
for new equipment, particularly
automatic continuous rolling mills,
and for modernization during
1887. Manufacturers of construc-
ton machinery are expanding
their output in line with seasonal
pickup in building activity while
energetic crude oil development
programs by major oil companies
are stimulating active demand for
oil well drilling and pumping
equipment according to the ana
lysiS.
Combined 1885 net earnings of
IA leading machine tool and indus
trial equipment manufacturers to-
tailed $58.5 million to compare
with a similar net in 1885 of only
$29.7 million, the report states.

Encouraged by the active de

BILE. in the opinion of the F. and B
Industries Service, comparative
analysis of % industries published
by Fenner and Beane.
Orders from the automobile
oil, railroad equipment, electrical
equipment, construction, and steel
industries in this country and
abroad are contributing largely to
the prosperity of manufacturers OF
machine tools and industrial
equipment, according to the
analysis. The survey says:
"MajOr machine tool builders
and equipment manufacturers
are operating with huge back
logs of orders and only the short
age of skilled labor is likely to re-
strict the operations Of the ma
chine tool division of the indus
trial machinery industry.

LABOR BOOSTS
CAR COSTS

Labor unrest has already in
creased automobile manufacturing
costs, although the evidence ind;-
Gates that present retail prices will
be maintained at least until the
1888 models are introduced, &C
cording to a new report appearing
in Poor'S Industry and Investment,
Surveys.
Direct labor cost approximated
$138 per car last year, and it is
now approaching $3.50 a car, &C.
cording to the report. Pay in
creaSeS have also been granted in
industries which provide automo-
bile manufacturers with a major
portion of their raw materials and
parts, it was pointed out. Although
there may be some lag in passing
these increases along, higher ma
terial prices must be expected
eventually, the survey said, adding !:
Meanwhile profit margins are
being cut down. AS an example,
ChrySler'S net profit of $50 per
car in 1886 will be reduced about
~ per cent as result of direct
payroll increases alone.
Fulfilling expectations, the
automobile industry in 1896 es-
tabliShed production record
second only to 1929, an increase
Of IL per cent over the 1885
total. This marked the first
time in seven years that prOduc-
tiOn passed the annual average
output of 4,365,OOO units estab-
lished during the 1923-1929
period"

COST
NEAR PEAK

The cost of building continued
to advance during February and
is now at the highest level reached
during the present century with
the exception of a short period in
1920, year of extreme initiation,
according to the Alexander Ham
ilton Institute.
1t is evident that the cost of
building showed a further rise IN
March as the result of the sharp
increase in steel prices. The out
look for building activity is conse-
quently not particularly bright
especially since there is good pos
Sibility that the rise in rents may
be interrupted this year, the re-
port said.
Rents showed a further increase
in February to a new peak for the
movement, making for increased
resistance to Che upward trend.
Should the stimulating effect of
rising rents be removed, building
activity would face a collapse
since much higher rents are
needed to support the present
level of building costs, according
to the study,

OIL FIRM NET
RISES IN 1896

The Continental Oil Company
reports 1885 net earnings of &c.
612,596.70 after depreciation, de-
pletion and taxes. This is equiva-
lent to $2.05 per share on 1892
614.8 shares issued and outstand-
ing, not including 55,978.5 shares
held in treasury. Earnings for
1885 were $8,S13, ,560.93, or $1.88
per share.
Cash distribution to Stockhold-
ers during 1886 amounted to ST.
023, ,635.47, or $1.50 per share, as
compared with $2,926,536.92, or
621a cents per share in 1885. Dur
ing the last year Continental also
paid a cash bonus to all employees.
Intangible development costs,
which Continental has consistently
charged against income, amount
ed to 1909 1895. .43 during the year.
This is equivalent to $1.92 per
share. Additions to fixed prop
erty accounts, including oil leases,
wells and equipment, natural gaSo-
line plants, manufacturing equip
ment, service stations, ETC., aggre-
gated $20,633, ,127.70 during 1886,
as against $9,632 ,903.65 in 1885.
Included in the earnings for
1886 were homecoming profits of
1886, 1858 resulting from the
sale Of a part interest in certain
production properties and acreage
holdings, and an increase in the
company's equity in the Kettlemen
