NEW YORK, July 15.-How can
a man on a fixed salary combat
rising living costs?
Bill R. is high school teacher.
He is married, has two small chill
dren. His salary is $500 a year.
He has just signed a contract
for the coming term, which begins
this September and ends in June,
1912.
He will get his pay in II monthly
checks-checks of approximately
$3.50 each after deduction OF teach
ers' annuity premium payments by
the school,
Bill visions his $3.50 monthly buy
ing increasingly less during the COM
ing year if living cost hikes become
more and more severe.
How can I hedge against rising
prices for everyday things?" asks
Bill, worried.
Others Have Same Problem.
Thousands of other persons, like
Bill, on fixed salaries or incomes,
are wondering about the same prob
lem.
Not far from Bill lives widow,
who has a fixed annual income OF
around 81 ,250-checks from an in
surance company which by agree
ment is paying over to her proceeds
from her husbands insurance in
monthly installments.
And down the block lives a city
employe whose income Is $l25 a
month from a pension.
These are people with fixed in
comes.
These are the people hardest hit
by rising food costs, higher clothing
prices and sleeper rents.
The wage worker can seek and
maybe get more money when living
costs rise. The professional man can
boost his fees. The grocer can mark
up his price tags. But the teacher
working under contract, the
widow on a fixed income and the
retired worker on pension can't.
Time-Tested Method.
Conditions vary in different COM
munities, so far as living costs 60.

Ways Of countering advancing trends
in one section might not be appli-
cable in others. There are, however,
a few time-tested methods Of cut
ting corners, and taking the sting
out of a rising cost of living curve.
Here are a few of them:
Important is housing:
/. If you own your home, with
carrying charges nicely within your
means, hold on to it. Rents may
skyrocket out of sight, but you are
safe. The rate of interest you pay
on your mortgage is fixed by con-
tract.
The holder of the mortgage can
not raise your interest charges, nor
can he oust you from your home as
long as you meet required payments
interest and amortization-regu-
larly
Local property taxes in some COM
munities may advance a bit, but
on the average small home such
rises will be insignificant compared
with rent boosts landlords may de-
mana from NOME IeIltcIS.
Get Agreement on Rent.
2. II you rent, freeze your rent
against an exorbitant rise by sign
ing lease for next year II you have
not already done So
If you have been in the same rent
ed home long enough to know you
like it. and If you have steady
Job with reasonable expectation
that you will not be transferred
to another city, sign lease for two
years or longer. If possible.
If you have only month-to-
month lease. try to replace it with
yearly one.
1t is entirely possible that in the
very near future the Federal Gov
ernment may try TO do something
to keep rents from going up too
fast. Already it has been limited
that the o. P. A. C. S. may seek to
freeze rents in busy defense cities
at some fair level. Possibly Price
Administrator Leon Henderson may
direct that rents in defense cities
may not be increased above the
level of certain day-for instance,
that they may be no higher than
those charged on June 30. What
form rent control may take has not
been disclosed,
May Not Be Universal,
But, on the other hand, rent con-
troll may not come. Or it may come
only for defense cities.

ing essentials continues to rise. as

accomplished artists as Kerr Eby,
John Sloan and the late Ernest
Haskell collectively go far toward
justifying our faith in the Ameri-
can art not only of today but of
tomorrow.
In conclusion, tribute should be
paid to Joseph Pennell, not only
as etcher and photographer of high
accomplishment, as shown in his
works here set forth, but for his
gifts to the Library of Congress,
which assure the steady building
up of this National Print Collec-
tion. Pennell was not only an ideal
1st; he was perfectionist, for
which reason he is thought of by
some as grumbler, a belligerent.
For the art he loved, he desired
the best. 1t was for this, during
MS lifetime, that he fought-and
valiantly. But at heart he was a
sensitive artiSt-excellent illustra-
tor, etcher, photographer. He had
much to do with reviving the art
of lithography as medium of in
dividual artistic expression. He was
an indefatigable worker. He wrote.
drew, etched and painted; he
taught, and he dreamed. One of
his dreams was of an American ma
tional photographic and a great ma
tional print collection under the
care of the Library of Congress, and
when he died he left his entire
estate, as well as his plates, to
bring his dream to realization. The
current exhibition is therefore. in
part, memorial to him, as it is
to those other donors whose gifts
and forethought have made it pos
sible. 1t will continue for several
weeks.

chosen to do these portraits on a
small scale, but she has retained to
an extraordinary degree an effect of

portraits, giving glimpses of definite

these persons have made names for
themselves as craftsmen; weaving,
making pottery and in other ways

opportunities. also substantially con-
tributing to the development of their

tistically and ethnologically, these
portraits are significant. The women
have their faces grotesquely painted,
but beneath the paint and disfgure-
ment there is some evidence of real
nobility-a caste of feature strangely

that of venerable woman of the
Yaqui tribe with her husband, her

Most picturesque is the portrait

Nan Watson Exhibits
Charming Paintings Are

SfLOUu u ATLS Quo
No more delightful exhibition of
contemporary art has been held in
Washington this season, or for
many seasons, than that of paint
ings by Nan Watson (Mrs. Forbes
Watson) which opened in the gall
lery of the Arts Club last Sunday
afternoon. Of the 20 works shown,
18 are in oils, the others in water
color; and of the whole number, all
but four are of still-life-fruit, flow
ers, containers and incidental OBJ
jects. 1t is not, however, what Mrs.
Watson has painted, but the way
she has painted it that is note
worthy. To be sure, the flowers
she has chosen to picture are lovely
in themselves; the fruit also is bril-
liantly colorful, and her compost
tions, while simple, are effective; but
the way she has put her paint on
canvas is phenomenal in its clever
ness and essential skill. There is
no panty" suggestion; the color is
pure and unsullied; but each telling
stroke is in its right place. The
illusion of realism is obtained, and
in such wise that it conveys more
of truth than mere substance. Here
is artistry Of high and enchanting
order. These flowers will not fade,

Louis Belts Portrait
Painting OF Wife Is Breezy
n1nnanf


A portrait by Louis Belts of his
first wife has been placed on ex-
hibition in the National Museum as
loan to the National Collection of
Fine Arts under the custody of the
Smithsonian Institution. 1t is a
large canvas showing Mrs. Belts
standing out-of doors, as it were.
on high knoll, overlooking a broad
expanse of open country, with a
clouded sky as background. The
figure, of more than three-quarter
length, is directly before the OBJ
server. but the head is turned so
sharply to the right the face is seen
in profile, The gown worn is of
filmy white over gold, and there is
blue in the shadows, as though bits
of the hidden sky might have fallen.
The brushwork is spontaneous and
knowing, and, although the pose may
seem rather too dramatic, the effect
as a whole is breezy and pleasant.
Obviously, such a painting as this
harks back to the English school
of the late 18th century, but, also,
it has somewhere beneath its sur
face subtle but unmistakable indi-
cation of being American and of
today.
Louis Belts, born in Little Rock,
Ark, in October, 1873, is said to
have begun portrait painting at the
age of Z years. He studied at the
Pennsylvania Academy, Philadel-
phia; in Paris and London, and is
to be ranked among our foremost
portrait painters. In 1899 he mar
ried, in Chicago, where he was then
living, Giovanni M. Kurzenknabe.
of whom this portrait was painted.
After her death he married, in 1896,
the widow of Gardner Symons, the
well-known landscape painter. Mr..
Belts is not only National acade-
mician, but member of the Ma
tional Institute of Arts and Letters.
He has had long list of distin-
guished sitters, and also many COW
eted awards. He is one of the few
who seem to be able to satisfy both
the public and his professional col
leagues.

Examination of this painters work
reveals that she has a preference
for subdued color and for simplified
but seldom distorted form. A ma
jority of the exhibits are landscapes,
but there are few portraits, flower
and still life, and animal paintings.
She likes far-reaching landscapes
seen from a height (perhaps inspired
by the rolling hills Of Maryland
near her home in Rockville. One
of the best is Morning Mist with
its good sense of scale and the depth
in which the eye can travel. The
sky and cloud effects, too. are more
successful here than in two other
similar landscapes.

Corcoran Instructor SholU
Landscapes and Figures

Landscapes and Figures
During the scholastic year the
art department Of George Washing
ton University holds series of in
formal exhibitions in its little gall
lery at 2131 G street NV, primarily
for the benefit of the students, but
also open to the public. The cur
rent exhibitor is Nicolai Cikovsky,
Russian by birth and training, but
for some time resident in this city
and now a member of the faculty of
the Corcoran School of Art. He
shows landscapes and figures, for
the most part small paintings done
presumably as studies, rapidly and
with the mere attempt to register
an impression. There is none more
capable of bringing work to a
conclusion than he; therefore, If he
does not do so, it is deliberate and
not to be regarded as unavoidable
weakness. The paintings that he is
now showing are typical of much of
the work of the time, forceful, i'm
pressive, without reserve and utterly
unlovely. For students who, above
all things. need to learn the i'm
portance of discipline and submit
thereto, the sheer careless clever
ness of such professional work may
prove misleading. But Mr.. Cikovsky
has gone through academic disci-
pline.

tions are exhibited, all of them with
quiet appeal.
Miss Bradley's essays in portrait
and figure painting are not so sue
cessful as her landscapes. Several
heads, nearly life size. are somewhat
stark in character and do not carry
a conviction of likeness, as they
should if they are portraits rather
than types. A BalineSe woman in
a bright costume impresses one as
the best of these. The flower paint
ings and single still life constitute
the most colorful group. The small
painting, "ChrysanthemumS." owned
by the Phillips Gallery, and "Cycla-
men," with its pattern of white
against lapis blue, gray green and
earth red are most attractive.
But the fact that some of these
paintings are not successful has no
particular weight. The artist is at
the threshold of her career, has not
settled down into a deadly groove.
Is still experimenting and shows
much promise. One painting. owned
by c. Law Watkins, is quite different
from the other works. Entitled
"Harwichport. it is an abstract view
