ARTS CAMPAIGN
WORK DESCRIBED
Reporter Assigned to Pro-
motion Addresses Society
of Artists.

Evidencing the continued interest
of local organizations in The Stars
art appreciation campaign, the So
ciety Of Washington Artists last night
received an accounting of this move
ment of art for the public's sake"
The story of the campaign, its past
present and future, was explained by
Robert A. Erwin, reporter for The
Star, assigned to promotion of the
campaign. He was introduced by
Charles Bittinger, noted artist, presi-
dent of the, society and past president
of the Arts Club, where last nights
meeting was held.
Nations have been built or de-
stroyed, and revolutions and inven-
tions have sprung from the mind and
the idea of one man." Mr.. Erwin said
This movement began with an idea
and the National Committee for Art
Appreciation was founded. The man
in this case was James L. Wick, an
Ohio newspaper publisher, now di-
rector of the national committee.
"Mr. Wick picked up a copy Of a
magazine one day and was greatly in
trigued with its fine color reproduc-
tions. 1t was then that he asked
himself: Why can't the great works
of art be brought within the reach
Of all the people?'"
Movement Is Started.
The reporter then told how tht
movement was started by Mr.. Wicl
with the aid of artists, art authori.
ties and public-spirited citizens.
1T was decided to present this pla,
to the country through the newspa.
pers," he continued, "and The Stal
took over its sponsorship for the
Washington area. The plan wa.
presented to leaders in the art. civic
and educational fields Of Washington
Their approval was spontaneous anc
sincere. They agreed to act as spon.
sors and to help in other ways. This
plan was presented as an educational
and cultural project and gained the
support and approval of county su-
perintendents of education and prin-
cipals in schools all over nearby Mary
land and Virginia.
We had the whole-hearted support
Of the District Board of Education
and one of the best foundations for
the campaigns success was laid when
We delivered to several thousand
teachers material which introduced
the plan and its aims and objects"
Explains Expansion.
He explained how the movement
progressed and expanded, exerting It's
force in every walk Of life and among
all classes Of people through exhibi-
tions, lectures, the staging of living
reproductions Of color reproductions
offered by The Star and the national
committee and through weekly radio
broadcasts.
The national committee and the
newspapers working with it are con-
Quoting a pioneering job," he said
AS for The Stars part in Washing
ton, we are about done 1t is up to
you to carry Onto enjoy any bene.
nts that accrue to artists and to helr
maintain the gains that have been
made for art in Washington"

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

First successful CRAFTS of tissues Of
endocrine glands, the organs which
secrete into the blood stream the
potent chemicals which govern near
ly every activity of life in both men
and dogs, were reported to trustees
of the Carnegie Institution of Wash

day by scientists of the institutions S

Using a technique which has been
developed quietly during the last
six years, Dr. George o. Gey of the
institutions staff has been able to
grow pure cultures of thyroid, para
thyroid. adrenal and pancreas cells
outside the body in medium the
basis of which is an individuals

cells have chance to get acquaint-
ed with the type of blood cells upon
which they must depend for their
sustenance when they are taken out
of the test tubes and placed in the
living body. Thus they live and
continue to secrete the hormones

the patients own system.

saying they had no assistance on the
job The men were arrested by 1t.
Joseph Shimon and members of his
pickup squad.
Detectives have located the looted
strong box, buried in the mud of a
creek near Nokesville. They found
the safe too heavy to raise, but re-
turned the broken door to Washing
ton for identification, they said.
Milton and Quantrille were con-
victed last July. Both denied all
knowledge of the theft. Milton was
arrested in September, 1887, shortly
after Government check left in the
safe was cashed at a local filling
station.
The attendant at the station, po-
lice said, identified Milton as the
man who cashed the check Police,
they said. could not learn from Mil
ton where the check came from.
Inspector Thompson said a thor
ough investigation will be made to
determine if Milton and Quantrille
were actually implicated in the
crime. A report will be turned over
to the United States attorneys Office
for any court action which seems ad-
yisable.

BOSTON. Dec. 10-In a dramatic
Cape Cod rescue in a pelting rain

men were taken off the grounded
Boston trawler Andover by breeches

threatened to break up the leaking,
heavily loaded vessel
Two others of the crew had taken
to dory earlier, as Coast Guards
shot a line from shore to the vessel
across $50 feet of rough water.
The Andover. a 93-foot single
screw vessel built in 1880. is owned
by General Seafoods Corp. She
piled up on the beach shortly before
2 a m. in dense fog.
Her captain, William ]. Bruce, who
described himself as IAN old Scots

rolled as high as his pilot house be-
fore the vessel went aground.
Coast Guardsmen at Chatham,

week out of Boston, had $4,000
pounds of mixed fish aboard.
She went ashore almost at high
tide during southeasterly storm.
and every hour saw her higher out

Coast Guard cutter Chelan was Or

but officers said she could do little
until the next high tide, in early
afternoon.
The rescued seamen were taken to
Orleans Coast Guard Station Men
on duty there said they were little
affected by their experience and ran
no danger of exposure because the
weather was warm.
The rescue was achieved by the
combined crews of the Orleans and
Old Harbor Coast Guard stations,
whose quarters. miles apart, were
almost equidistant from the Andover.
The trawler encountered trouble

Da|adier Obtains
Slim Majority 10
Continue Policies
Premier Appears to Be
Prisoner of Own
Divided Party
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS. Dec. 10.-Premier Dala-
dier carved out a new but fragile
majority in the Chamber of Dep
uties today. enabling him to carry
on his strike smashing and his fight
against Italy's colonial ambitions.
The strong man" of France
nevertheless. appeared to be the
political prisoner of his own divided
Radical-Socialist party
In a riotous session of the Cham
ber, which lasted until 2:25 am.
the best M. Daladier could wiring
from the quarreling. shouting dep
uties was majority of "a votes out
of the Chambers 618. The vote OF
confidence was 315 to 241.
His new majority was based on
Conservative support, ranging all
the way from his own moderately
Conservative party to the extreme
Right French Social party-Col
Francois de la Rocques group OF
semi -Fascists.
The Socialists and Communists
who formerly joined with the Radi-
cal Socialists to form the People S
Front. voted solidly against NJ
Daladier.
Three Possible Roads.
The Premier seemed to be faced
with three possible roads - all
fraught with danger: He may con-
tinue with the present shaky ma
jority; he may ask President Lebrun
and the Senate to dissolve the cham
ber and 60 back to the people for
new elections; he may resign in the
hope OF forming new government
based on more solid parliamentary
ground.
The last two steps, however, would
only be last resorts" his associates
indicated.
M. Daladiers friends appeared to
be convinced he would take the first
road for the present, sounding out
the parliamentary ground AS he goes.
About 60 deputies, they pointed
out, refrained from voting this
morning-apparently to see which
way the wind was blowing. The
only one who voted against the
Premier besides 228 Socialists and
Communists were 13 members of his
own party.
If he can win these back, plus
most of the abstainers, his friends
said, his majority will be large
enough to work with.
M. Daladier indicated that he
himself took this view when he
asked the chamber to convene again
Tuesday morning to begin debate
on the 1889 budget.
Bitter Attacks Made.
The Communists and Socialists
greeted the new Rightist majority
with bitter oral and journalistic at
tacks, leaving no doubt that they
would do everything they could to
overthrow the Premier.
"Daladier has chosen to fight the
workers of France" said the Social
ist newspaper LIE Populaire, while
the Communist l'Humanite asserted
"Daladier now serves the bankers. :"
M. Daladier, in calling for a vote
OF confidence, warned that "the
integrity of France depends first on
the French"
1T is only when a country is
strong that it can rise to prevent
any one from touching its territory"
he declared.
I'VE are at an hour when brutal
frankness is better than all hypoc-
racies. You must decide today to
overthrow me or to permit me to
continue my efforts"

Of the democracy which I'VE in

Mr.. Edens address to the Ma

as "a university in which we learn
