IF YOU think Of a painter as an
L impractical idealist, revise that
view before applying it to Charles
Wilson Peale. Born in Maryland in
1741 he was apprenticed to a sad
der at the age Of thirteen and was
such a good workman that he won
his freedom by the time he was
twenty. Then he went into bust
ness for himself and later formed q
partnership with a chaisemaker
who promptly absconded with all
of the firms money. To get out of
debt Peale next tried clock and
watch making and set himself I'D
as a silversmith.
Becoming interested in painting.
Peale took lessons from a Swedish
American artist and paid for them
with a saddle which he had made.
Next he spent two years studying
under Copley in Boston and then
went to England to learn more
from the famous Benjamin West.
Returning to this country a few years
before the Revolution, he be-
gan painting portraits Of Colonial
celebrities, one Of which was des-
tined to make him famous. It was
the picture of a young colonel in
the Virginia militia named George
Washington.
At the outbreak Of the Revolu-
ton Peale, who was an ardent pa
triot, organized a company Of mi
litia and became a captain. For the
next three years he mixed painting
and soldering, winning distinction
in both. Next he went into poll
tics and in Ito and 1850 served as
a member Of the Pennsylvania as
sembly..
After the war, Peale gathered to-
gether all Of the portraits Of Revo-
lutionary leaders he had painted
including several Of WASHINGTON
and started a picture gallery in
his home, which was so popular
that he had to seek larger quarters.
In 1902 he opened the famous Peale
museum on the second floor of In
dependence hall. There he exhib-
tied not only his paintings but also
a remarkable collection Of natural
history specimens he had collected.
At the age Of eighty-one Peale
turned from portraiture to paint re-
ligious pictures. When he died IN
1927 he left behind him a collection
Of 269 portraits and historical
scenes a . memorial to one of
Americas greatest painters and

UNCOMMON
AL AMERICANS
By Elmo Western
Scott Watson "1 Un'on
She Modelled Lincoln

IN THE rotunda of the United
l States Capitol at Washington
stands a statue of Abraham Lin
coin. Among all the sculptured like
nesses of the Great Emancipation
this one is unique. It is the only
one which was modelled rom life
and it is the work of a young girl.
Winnie Ream was her name and
she was born in Wisconsin in 1847.
As a girl she amused herself by
sketching the Indians whom she saw
when her father, a surveyor, took
her with him on his trips in the
West. They were crude sketches
but an old Italian who saw them
recognized her latent talent and en-
couraged her.
When she was fourteen her father
secured a position for her as a copy
list in the post office department
at $50 a month. She became &C
quainted with Clark Mills, the IA
nous sculptor, and while watching
him at work, exclaimed, "Oh, I
could do that if I had some clay!"
Mills told her to help herself and
he was delighted with the progress
which she made.
Then Winnie Ream conceived the
idea of modelling President Lincoln
from life. When this was first sug-
gested to him he refused, but after
talking to the girl and becoming
impressed with her e~arnestness,
he gave his consent with the under
standing that she was to come to
the White House every afternoon
during his rest period. She was not
to talk and he was to sit, walk, OF
lie down to take a nap, as his
mood dictated.
So for five months she spent part
Of every afternoon in his study. As
he lay on the couch she took life
masks of his face and hands. As
he walked about or sat at his desk,
she sketched his figure again and
again.
After Lincoln's assassination con-
gress decided to erect a statue in
his memory and asked sculptors to
submit sketches. Many famous art
lists responded but the work of this
sixteen-year-old girl was the one Sc
lected. In 1869 congress advanced
her $1,000 and she went abroad to
study and complete the statue.
After nearly two years Of steady
work she finished it and it was un-
yelled in 1871. When the statue was
placed in the rotunda Of the Capt.
toll an old servant who had lived
in the White House exclaimed "the
real Lincoln hasreturned to u.s."
Winnie Ream later married Lieut..
Richard L. Hoxie but continued her
work as a sculptor until her death
in 1914. She made many other stat
ues and modelled. medallions and
busts Of many notables, both here
and abroad. But she is best re-
membered as the only sculptor who
ever modelled Lincoln from life and
the pioneer woman sculptor Of
America.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WHY PROMOTE TAX AVOIDANCE?

In connection with President Roosevelts drive
against tax evaSons, this newspaper asked the
other day why the administration did not go after
some of the larger leaks, notably tax-exempt Sc
curities. Now Senator Byrd of Virginia has seized
the occasion to renew his plea for constitutional
amendment ending the tax-exempt bond abuse.
The rule that the national government could not
tax state and municipal bonds is one of those in
conveniences of the federal system. 1t grew out
of the effort to avoid conflict between the two
kinds of government. If the federal taxing power
were abused, it could tax local government out or
existence. But the effort to avoid possible mis-
use of this power has resulted in great abuse OF
the exemption Freedom from income taxes has
been twisted into an nducement to investors in
governmental bonds ..
Although this applies particularly to state and
city securities, the federal government has freed
its bonds generally from the regular per cent
income tax up to $4,000 and some even from sur
taxes And it is safe to say that today the purpose
of tax exemption is not to avoid conflict with
other governmental Jurisdictions but to borrow ut
lower interest rates.
Exemption from taxes is worth one per cent CT
more ordinarily. 1t may be argued that govern
ment saves as much interest as it loses in taxes
But that is not certain To investors in the higher
income brackets exemption may be worth as muon
as eight to ten per cent. But since the interest
rate on tax-exempts is fixed by the value of exemp-
ton to the ordinary investor, city, state and fed
eral governments lose on the bargain.
More than that it is devious rather than
direct method Let borrowing be borrowing and
taxation be taxation. Let governments pay the
regular market rates for money they need-they
might need less if they faced the full cost-and
let them tax without favor according to ability TO
pay. Many municipalities are getting money today
at an apparent rate of per cent. As 1T is, the
system plays right into the hands Of the very
wealthy whom the president is particularly anX-
ious to block from tax evasion. TaX-eXempt bonds
actually invite the avoidance of taxes by the up
per income brackets.
Let congress stop every possible leak of taxes
including those lost billions of dollars worth of
tax-exempt bonds! The Byrd amendment can't
collect on the $50, 100000 of such bonds now
held but it can head off leakage the O,OOO,-
100000 that will be issued in the next Is years
if the rate since 1921 is Observation-Disclosures

NEW DEAL. INDIGESTION

How can the many questions raised by the Sew
en- Wonders that have just come from the en-
pyrean of the deal, possibly be answered to
congressional satisfaction in the time remaining
at the disposal of congressional debate? The an
swer is, that they cannot possibly be given the
consideration they deserve. The magnifed IVA
scheme is at once synthesis of the new deal ide-
ology and vast extension of the practical from
tier. 1t would be worth whole session of con-
gressonal elaboration. Yet it is presented as a
final dramatic chapter to a congress that Is
harassed by the supreme court packing bill, that IS
struggling with the perplexties of the wage-and-
hour bill; to congress that has before it a bill
to reorganize the executive branch of the govern
ment an omnibus" agricultural bill, a slum-elear-
ance bill, and the farm tenancy bill. One could
hardly blame congress if, at the last moment, it
decided to stage a sit-down-and-think strike
Mr. Roosevelt has not yet learned that the swift
and dramatic moves with which he inaugurated
the new deal, will not work now that recovery has
set in. The new deal is plainly headed for acute

way through college and became scientist hon

Of late much has been heard of chemurgc chem

HAS SHE?
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

But what has all this to do with
the difference between men and
women in the matter Of getting
drunk? ! am coming to that:
When Il tranSgreSSiOn hurts one
person more than another, il is
more serious to the one than the
other. Is that admitted?
Well, woman is more harmed
by intoxication than man for, be-
ing more sensitively organized
than man, she cannot dehauch
herself without being more injur-
ed than man.
The coarser the spiritual fiber
the more abuse it can stand. A
savage can do without moral in
jury to himself that which would
devastate a civilized person. A
british gangster can do without
harm to his feelings that which
would break a refined man.
A man can do things without
serious impairment of himself
which done by 4 decent woman
would pull her down to lcvel
from which she might not rise.
The higher one rises, the harder
he fallS-if he does fall.
There is nothing so low as a
low woman. She goes to depths
below those of low men.
Another thing! As long as the
women of the nation remain up
right and clean, the nation cannot
be lost. But let the women of a
nation go to the bad and the ma
ton is gone. By means of her
spiritual strength woman helps to
keep man up spiritually, and helps
to bring him back up if he goes
down; but let woman go down and
man is apt to go down also-and
stay down. If you had to choose
between a drunken mother and a
drunken father, what would you
say about a woman's right to get
drunk?
