War Damage
 Bill -- 5. 2l9S

The War Damage Bill, first called the War R six Insurance Bill, & 2l98, finally passed both houses ai1d Is before the Prcsi- dent for his signature. As so en- acted, it is substantially the same form as passed by the House, al though some changes were made. in conference. Under the Act, war damage insurance will be continued in effect without the payment of premiums until some future date to be announced by the Secretary of Commerce, After that date, anyone desiring war risk or war damage insurance must pay the premium fixed by he Secretary of Commerce. No one knows yet what this pre- mium will be, but if has been suggested that it may be $l per 5000 of the value of the pro- perty insured. Facilities will pro bably be arranged through com merclal insurance companies to write the war damage insurance as a part of ordinary insurance policies, or separately, and the loss will probably be adjusted through such private insurance companies. However, if the pro- perty owner does not take out the policy and pay the premium after the date fixed by the Secre tary of Commerce he will not be eligible to receive any compen- sation for property destroyed by war hazards. The date after which premiums must be paid will be given plenty of publicity so all persons can act according
 ly. Under this bill, as finally passed, it is provided that the insurance premiums shall be uni form, which means that property in a particularly exposed posi- ton, for example property in Hawaii or on the coasts of the country, will not bear any high CT premium than property situ ated in less hazardous location.
 Under this bill, real and per sonal property may be insured against war loss as to property situated in the United States (including the several states and the District of Columbia), the Philippine Islands, the Canal Zone, the territories and posses sions of the United States, and at such other places as may be determined by the President to be under the control of the United States" and to such pro- perty in transit between any points located in any of the fore going" and "to all bridges be- tween the United States and Can ada and between the United States and Mexico" Further pro vision is made, "that such pro- lection shall not be applicable after the date determined by the Secretary of Commerce under this subsection to property in transit upon which the United States Maritime Commission is authorized to provide marine war risk insurance"
 The last provision above quot ed,with respect to marine war risk insurance, was originally in- serted in the bill in the House at

Program for

Symphony Features
Rubinstein Soloist
In Piano Concerto

An all-RusSian program, high
lighted by the Tschsikowsky Piano
Concerto in B Flat Minor" will be
played by the Philadelphia Orches-
ira at its Constitution Hall concert
Tuesday evening. Artur Rubinstein
will be guest artist in the concerto
and Eugene Ormandy will lead the
orchestra. Prokofeff's polished and
witty classical" symphony will
open the concert and Rimsky-
Korsakow's "Scheherazade" suite will
be the concluding number.
A celebrated interpreter Of the
concerto, Rubinstein was the first to
give 1t to a radio audience Of con-
siderable size-during one OF the
New York Philharmonic Symphony
Society's Sunday afternoon broad
casts some years ago-while his
recording Of the work long has been
the established reading. When Ru-
binstein played the concerto with
the Philadelphians in New York
last month, Howard Taubman
in the Times wrote that Swing ver-
sions haven't spoiled the music yet,
but it takes a mighty good per-
formance like this to make one for
get them"
The Prokofieff, a gem of its genre,
was composed by the Soviet's peri
patetic writer to catch "the spirit
OF Mozart and to put down that
which, if he we're living now, Mozart
might put into his scores. Its charm
ing melodies and surprising har-
monies make the Classical" SYM
phony one of the favorites of con-
temporary music.
Like the Tschaikowsky concerto,
Rimsky -Korsakow's "Scheherazade"
now is lending one Of its central
themes to popular music and soon
should be as familiar, everyday lis
tening as the enormously popular
current versions of the piano con-
certo. This will be the fourth in
the Philadelphians' 1912 subscrip-
ton season at Constitution Hall.

most adept.
These little heads are often not
more than four inches in diameter
but are as vital and personal as
though many times that size.
Mr.. Miller Is no modernist but his
treatment is modern in its simplic-

and tools the block Of wood takes

out Of it comes the image Of the

less. Mr. Miller came East last

College, which was most successful.
During the last three months he has
been lecturing in museums, colleges
and universities in New England
and the Middle West. He has q

The index Of American design is
one of the two branches Of the
w. P. A. art program most highly
praised and most popular since its
inception. 1t constitutes q perma-
nent record of American design in
many materials, from Colonial times,
and is the programs single major
activity devoted to research. 1t
now includes about $1,000 original
drawings of various kinds, many of
them pen and wash. Washing
tonians not yet acquainted with the
index can see small but good selec-
ton of original drawings as well as
portfolios of reproductions, on view
at the main building of the Public
Library until March 8.
1t will be recalled that emphasis
was on relief when the Federal art
project was inaugurated, and artists
whom project administrators in each
locality considered good craftsmen
but "unoriginal" were set to work
on the index instead of being given
carte blanche to draw what they
pleased, according to early pub
lished explanations. But what these
index artists have turned out is
infinitely more popular with the
general public than many Of the
works by creative" artists. One
need only examine the drawings
now at the library to see why this
is so. They are exquisitely drawn,
with the utmost accuracy, and
painted with painstaking care for
details; they are faithful likenesses
Of the original objects, and the latter
are, in most instances, things which
arouse our pride in the American
tradition Of craftsmanship and per.

ran Gallery Acquires Pearson Painting
By Leila MechIin.

The Corcoran Gallery Of Art has
made a number of acquisitions re-
Gently notable among which is a
painting by Joseph T. Pearson, jr.,
of his eldest daughter Ruth, when
q little girl Of two or three years
Of age. She stands in the imme-
diate foreground along side Of her
bed with an open folding fan In her
hands and a gray stuffed elephant
at her feet. The dress she wears
is white and her head and shoulders
have as background the white, bill
lowy bed pillows A pink silk quilt
re-echoes the color OF the open fan
and her little black shoes repeat the
accent given by her dark eyes, which
are especially striking because of
her golden hair and very fair skin.
It is charming child picture and
one which will undoubtedly find
general favor.
Mr.. Pearson, 1t will be remem-
bered. is a Philadelphia painter,
National academician, fellow of the
Pennsylvania Academy Of the Fine
Arts. pupil of J. Alden Weir and
William M. Chase and a regular
contributor to the leading exhibi-
tions. His portrait of his two young
est daughters, twins, standing at
opposite ends Of a dark wood, mar
row table on which is a Chinese
jar with spring blossoms was a great
favorite when shown in one of the
Corcoran Gallery's biennial exhibi-
tions some years ago and has since,
It is understood, found its way into
q public collection.

die gallery Of the south range with
other such outstanding paintings as
Schofield's Cliff Shadows" and
Symon's Where Long Shadows

company held together and kept for

At Howard University.

The second w. p. A. art program
division which stands high is that
of graphic arts. American print
makers have worked effectively in
the established graphic media, and
have also developed new methods.
Dox Thrash, young Negro artist
working under the w. p. A. art
program in Philadelphia, was an
inventor of the carborundum print,
examples of which he is now exhibit
ing at Howard University Art Gal
lery in one-marl show of 80 prints,
including also Autographs, etchings,
aquatints and m0notypes in color.
His versatility in The different media
is demonstrated, and the prints
are traditional h character and

Popular Music
By J. ". Sfetb

Winston Churchill's precedent
setting and memorable address be-
fore Congress two months ago is
now available on records, four 12-
inch ones issued by Columbia in an
album. Thus, with Victor's tran
scription Of President Roosevelt's
message asking the war declaration,
are the two most important speeches
Of 1e41 made easily accessible to the
publican opportunity which should
certainly be taken advantage OF.
One hardly doubts that the words
Of these great democratic leaders
will be echoing down times corridors
centuries hence when free men at
last can walk without casting ner-
vous glances at the sky.
The Churchill album is prefaced
by brief sketch, written by Novelist
c. S. Forester, Of the full and ad-
venturous career of the British
statesman.
Columbia has also released two
volumes flour discs apiece of
Native Brazilian Music" gathered
and recorded under the supervision
of the ubiquitous Leopold Stokow-
ski. The music-sembas, macumbas,
emboladas, etc.-surely sounds native
by its sheer uninhibitedness and by
that added instrumental and
rhythmic color you seldom find in
this cline. The orchestras are pure
Brazilian, too, we would say.
On single records from the same
factory there are Claude Thornhill's
"Ya Lu-Blu," which is just another
way of saying those three significant
little words; Horace Heidt's "Whis-
tling Comboy" Erred Lowry, in this
instance) coupled with the pretty
Moonlight Cocktail: Dick Jur-
gems Mandy Is Two'-"Junior
Miss; Les Browns great truism,
"Everybody's Making Money but
Tschaikovsky";; frankie Masters
disc of the drooly We're the Couple
in the Castle"
The Gordon String Quartet lets
down its long hair, and at the
same time it doesn't let down its
long hair. Which is to say this noted
chamber-music group leans over
backward to play half dozen of
Jerome Kern's hit tunes but plays
them as If they were something by
Schubert. All very fine If you're
partial to the string quartet me-
dunn but laborious If it's plain,
melodious Jerome Kern you're after.
Titles on the three 12-inch Decca
discs: "The Way You Look To-
night" Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"
THE Song Is YOU" etc.
John Scott Trotter, on the other
hand, reverses the above procedure
by wading into the classics-well,
semi-classics. Able Orchestrator
Trotter makes each number a
brightly efIervescent job of tune
smithing, and his bandsmen have
the proper spirit. A few titles:
March OF the Toys" 'Triumphal
March" (from peter and the
wohD, Rachmaninoff's Prelude in
G Minor" "Danse Espagnole No. 1"
(from vida Breve"), Kreisler's
"Tambourin Chinois," Gliere's rus
sian Sailors Dance" There are five
discs, all Decca.
On Decca singles Ben Bernie does
his Introductory and closing themes,
"It's a Lonesome Old Town" and
"Au Revoir-Plea5ant Dreams" and
you can almost see the old cigar
a-twirling Bernie fashion; Erskine
Butterfield commits what is prob
ably the final desecration Of Tschai-
kowsky, Concerto de Boogie";; the
Pan Pacific Tempo Orchestra does
"Huguette Waltz" and Deep Pllr-
pie Fox Trot" in "strict" tempo for
the benefit Of dance purists; Glen
GreyIs two-part Bottom Man ON
the Totem Pole" is decidedly floppo.

Newfoundland as Seen
By George Harding.

The Corcoran Gallery Of Art
opened yesterday a special exhibi-
ton of paintings in tempera made
in Newfoundland by George Hard
ing, illustrator and mural painter,
Of Philadelphia For q number of
years Mr.. Harding has been spend
ing considerable time In the far
North, going out to the Newfound-
land fishing banks and the seal
fisheries with the men who make
such their living Some of the
sketches now on view were done on
the spot, other from notes made
there.
These are, for the most part, small
and not altogether pleasant pic
lures, but they are done with dra-
matte feeling and great simplicity.
The colors are rather dull and the
scenes dreary, but they are very
realistic. Certainly they give a
graphic impression Of the hard life
that those who 60 down to the icy
seas of the North have to live.
Mr.. Harding is a former pupil of
Howard Pyle and the Pennsylvania
Academy, Philadelphia. OF the
latter he Is now also a member of
the faculty. In the previous World
War he served in the A. E. F. dur
ing 1889. He has painted mural
in the customs house, New York,
and the Federal post otf1ce in this
CITY,
