Small Offerings Dip
Bond Market Prices
Fractions 10 Point
Price Control Proposals
Serve to Curb Trade.
In Top-FIight Liens

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug 9.-The buy
ing side of the bond market had
an unimpressive following today and
on a trickle of offerings prices
dipped fractions to around a point
over a fairly wide front.
Junior and speculative loans
were slightly depressed by continued
apathetic behavior of the stock
market. Operations in top flight
liens tapered as investors awaited
developments in Washington price
control plans.
The question of money rates fig
ured in some recent price regulation
hearings and one administration
spokesman suggested an upward re-
vision of interest rates as stabilizer
In the event of important change
in money rates the high grade bond
market, according to investment
circles, might be expected to under
60 some readjustment.
In the curb exchange there was
further display of mild interest in
Russian bonds, which were the obli-
cations of the overthrown Imperial
Russian Government. The 612s and
5l2s each rose slightly, the former to
$3.50 per thousand dollar bond, face
value, and the latter to $8.75. Since
the start of the Russo-German War
the bonds have shown occasional
peri DDS of moderate activity.
Lower in the stock exchange bond
list were Erie Convertible 4s of SO
"B" at SO, Commercial Mackay In
comes at 521a, Baltimore & Ohio
Stamped Convertibles of go at 313s.
American & Foreign Power SIS at

United States Governments
stepped down with corporates and
closed fractionally lower in the
stock exchange and outside market.
Foreign loans were mixed. Scandi-
navian and Australian groups
showed gains running to as much as
3 points.
Transactions totaled S3,127,00O
face value compared with $3,118,500
the previous Saturday.

HARTFORD, Conn., (SNS)
Avon Street is an old fashioned
three story brick house, with flat
roof. Avon Street is an old street,
in the low income, downtown dis
trict of the city. The railroad is
at the foot Of the street, and all
rtationalities live on this street.
Here you will find Polish, italian,
Jewish, and Negro families adj liv-
ing side by side.
20 Avon Street is the Day
Nursery of the Women's League.
The Children arrive between and
$50 in the morning. The ratio
is about 40 whites to go colored
and the enrolment is about rs.
When the children first arrive
they are given tomato juice Or
orange juice and cod-liver oil. A
regular program is carried out
each day. The age limits are from
six months to twelve years. The
school children attend school and
return to the nursery for their
dinner.
The dinner is, meat in some
form, green vegetables, a plain
dessert, or fruit and cookies, and
cocoa. After school is dismissed
they return TO the nursery, and
at this time all the children have
milk and graham crackers. After
this a recreation program is car
rieo out, until the parents arrive.
1t is. a great pleasure to see the
mothers look of satisfaction when
they call for their small children.
T!ey are sure their children haye
been well cared for. Their Thanks
is always said with so much real
friendship and gratitude.
The people in charge of the
nursery study the needs of each
child and feed and care for them
according to- their personal needs.
These children are getting train
ing here that they would never
get in their own homes. 1t is
amazing to see how they are able
to help themselves in getting on
their outer clothing also in putting
up the toys and washing their
hands and faces always putting
thier towels on the correct rack.
The Women's League is a group
Of public minded colored women,
that has been organized for twen-
ty-four years. Mrs. Ida Lawson,
is the president. This venture has
taken lot of hard work because
all the money to run it had to be
raised by them. That meant sales,
fairs, rallies, dinners and all kinds
of activities that would bring in
money. They bought the house at
20 Avon Street, and for O. while it
was hard struggle.

Exhibitions Of Negro Art AT
Liberty Square Since Monday

most any exhibition Cf contempor-
ary American painting. Noticeable,
however, is an emphasis on the
high-keyed coior, rich pigment ana
surface texture. Most OF the pic
lures depict some phase Of Negro
life, whether with the impartial
eye of Allen r. Critic, celebrated
Boston artist, who paints the
bleak tenement district OF that
city, or with the enchanting
phantasy Of Georgette Seabrooke,
young New york artist, who paints
a picture of young love in a barn
yard. Other artists like Charles Sc
bree and Charles Davis, both OF
illinois, place EMPHASIS on the
formal beauty of pattern, color or
line.
AS a whole this exhibition of Ne
gro paintings produced under the
WPA Art program may be regard
ed as proof of Alain Locke'S state
ment that the government Art
program has resulted in q greater
productivity of Negro art Of 6efi-
mite professional standing.
This exhibition is open daily, and
white as well as colored people are
cordially invited to attend.

MIAMI, Fla.-(SNS)-
An exhibition of recent paintings
by Negro artists opened Monday,
February "a at the Community
Hall, Liberty City, 63O6 N. w.
18th Avenue, under the auspices OF
Captain James F.. Scott.
The display consists of fifteen
paintings drawn from the WPA Art
Projects of five different Sta1es,
of the WPA Art program in wash
ington, D. C. AS whole the eX-
hibition shows the variety, the
vigorous spirit and interest in 10
cal color that characterizes the
best work being done by Negro
painters at the present time.
Preponderant interest in the Ne
gro theme is evidence of the artlSts
interest in his own race as a col
orful and significant subject for
painting Within recent years
many artists, both Negro and
white, have made the Negro a
popular theme. Among the Negro
artists for the first time a. con-
certed movement is being made to
found a Negro art which has for its
major concern the portrayal OF
their race in the American scene.
This interest springs both from a
contemporary interest in the local
scene, and from a growing respect
by society for the cultural con-
tributions of the Negro. The broad
policy of the WPA Art program
which permits any competent
artist on its rolls to work with
freedom and sympathetic guidance
has offered the opportunity for
development of the Negro in fine
arts.
Sam Brown of Philadelphia, one
of the best known and most SEN
sitive interpreters of the Negro, is
represented in the present eX-
hibition by two large water-colors,
one of a boy prodigy earnestly
studying the keys of his piano, the
either of a young girl writing her
lessons.
Both capture that charming
naivete of the Negro that has in
trigued so many contemporary
artists. These are the pictures that
encouraged Alain Locke, Negro
author, philosopher, art critic and
Rhodes Scholar to write: zone CT
the most helpful new forces in the
life of the younger generation
artists has come from the Art
Projects of the WPA Administra-
ton; and the generous inclusion OF
young Negro artists has been one
Of its noteworthy features"
Sam Brown had the singular hon
Or of being mentioned several times
by Mrs. Roosevelt in her daily COL
umn. Recently he visited the
White House Where one of his pic
lures, "The Scrubwoman" was be-
ing exhibited. Critics have remark
ed on the "blue harmonies" in
many of this artists watercolors.
Before the quality and individual
ity of Browns paintings won him
recognition throughout the United
States, he doggedly followed his
desire to become a painter.
A. j. Motley, Jr., is another OF
these artists who have won i'm
poctant honors among which was
a Guggenheim award.
The sound integration of the
Negro in American developments
is seen in the variety of styles in
which these artists are painting, a
variety which is to be found in al

Family Fuss Leads
To Shooting Scrap

MEMPHIS, Tenn.-(SNS)-
A regulation family full last

pistol bullet through the arm of
Willie Light, 81, a farmer living on
>the King Davis Place in Bailey,
Tennessee (Shelby County,, when
he was shot by his wife's niece,
Laura Woodward, same address.
The trouble started when Light
took a switch from Laura's SON.
after the boy allegedly persisted
in whipping Lights children after
being told to stop. Mrs. Woodard
said Light beat the boy. He said
he merely took the switch and
burned it.
His wife told Sheriff's deputies
that she and her husband had an
argument following the switch in
cident, and one word led to an
other until they began Scuffling
He broke Wash-board over her
head She said she threw him
down on the bed and was choking
him, when Laura seized a pistol
from beneath a pillow and shot
him in the arm.
Laura woodward told officers
that she shot Light when it SEEM
ed that he was about to hurt her
aunt. She said the family lived
together on the Davis place; that
she cooked for the family, and that
her aunt worked as a farm laborer
along with Light.
Mrs Woodward was placed in
Jail on shooting charge. Light
was not considered seriously in
iured bV the shooting.
