Portrait of America Exhibition
Embassies Art and Industry Tie

textiles, china, glass, silverWare-
and along many other lines. Since
the war various industries have
been patronizing art, but very diff
ferently-in the field of advertising.
Commercial art has its own place
and a better place when it is
frankly for commercial purposes
than when camouflaged as philan-
thropy. In France in past centuries
the foundation for development in
the fine arts was laid by patronage
of the decorative arts-furniture
making, tapestry weaving, ceram-
les, jewelry, whatever the people
wanted and touched their everyday
life. A writer on this subject once
said-and it is worth remembering
"A thing has not reached the max
imum of usefulness until it has
reached the maximum of beauty"
All this is very different from pa
tronage given with philanthropic
disguise. Art will never be promoted
by "Lo, the poor Indian" attitude
toward artists. The best kind of
patronage is employment.
That Mayor La Guardia should
surmise that high taxation prevents
spending for art today is extraor-
dinary inasmuch as in his own
city millions of dollars have been
spent during the past year for works
of art. Not, it is true, contem-
porary works by American artists
but for works which have stood the
test Of time and are acknowledged
masterpieces. All of these millions
might have been spent for .Ameri-
can paintings had those who did
the spending really wanted them.
The current market for such works
is very low; people do not buy what
they do not want. Prizes and pic
torial calendars will not remedy this
situation
Seeking Good Art
The trouble lies in the works Of
fered for exhibition and sale in cur
rent exhibitions. Mr. Osborne said
that there was an immense amount
of good art today-but where does
he find it? Not in his own great
museum, when last year the doors
were graciously opened to the Art
lists for Victory exhibition-assem-
bled and shown to help advance the
war effort but giving material for
battles on the home fronts among
exhibiting factions as bitter as those
in theaterS of war
Where are the American painters
today who rank with such of the last
century as La Fargo, Homer, Whis-
tier, Mary Cassatt, Eakins, Sar-
gent, Cecilia Beaux, Bellows, Ben
son and score of others? If the
taste of the public has improved,
as Mr.. Osborne believes, then the
lack of patronage for American
artists may in itself constitute crit
icism of merit. The sales of paint
ingS by American artists have di-

Houston decided to make his
home in Texas There was much
talk among the Texans about break
Ing away from Mexico, and in 1885
the talk gave place to open warfare.
In Tennessee, Houston had risen
to be major general OF militia, and
this did much to cause the revolt
Ing settlers to choose him as their
leader.
Early in the war a Mexican Army
marched into Texas. It was led by
Santa Anna, President of Mexico.
About 180 Texans used the Alamo,
an old Spanish mission house in
San Antonio, as fort When the
Mexican attack came, they fought
of an army of 1000 men for l3
days. In the end. the fortress fell,
with the death of almost every one
in it. Among those killed was the
famous pioneer, Davy Crockett.
Meanwhile Houston had been
building up as much of an army as
he could get ready. Six weeks after
the fall of the Alamo, with on,y
TAB men, he fought a Mexican Army
of 1,600 on the bank of the San
Jacinto, and won an important
victory. The next day Santa Anna
was captured and was forced to
sign a treaty granting the freedom
of Texas. rs
The treaty, made by force. could
hardly be looked upon as lawful, but
it served its purpose. Texas be-
came kind Of republic, with q
single star in its flag.
The San Jacinto victory took place
on April 81, 1886. Four months and
10 days later, Houston was chosen
"the first President of Texas" - In
184l he was elected again to the
office.
A few years after Texas Joined
the United States, Houston was
elected Its Governor. His long and
colorful life came to . close in 1859.

of his neighbors in Congress Heights.
has the windup Of the war figured
out mathematically."
That, at any rate, is what Is said
on a printed circular which I re-
ceived from the Kramer Junior High
School pupil last week.
But before I tell you more about
Jim's calculation-and, of course, to
keep you In suspense as long as pos
sible-I should say something about
the New Noon. 1t has been men,
toned in this column before, the
last time when Jim reported his
printing equipment had broken
down, forcing him to suspend pub
lication. -.
Well Jim has a neA press now and
the New Noon is being issued once
more. And as its editor promised
it's better than ever New Moon"
It's printed with real type on a
real press now, and it looks very
good. The first issue, dated Septem-
Der, features front-page article by
one of the editors neighbors, Mrs.
A. M. Herren, on the reopening of
the schools; column of Service
Flashes" roundup of Congress
Chatter by Mrs. Englert," Month
ly Message From the Editor"
Parents Column" jokes and adver-
tisements. There are eight pages in
all and they add up to an attractive
and readable little journal.
Jims war circular is printed In
red ink. 1t explains that the time
the war will end was figured out
by adding the birth dates of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill, Marshal Stain, Hitler,
Mussolini and TOTO, their ages, the
dates they took Office and the num-
Der of years since. AL this, accord
ing to the circular, adds up to
1888. One-half of that number
is 1914, and this divided by 2 is 972.
And the is for September, the 7
for the day of the month and the 2
for the time
Thus, Jim's figured
out mathematically," as he says-is
that the European phase of the war
will end at 2 o'clock next Thurs
day.
Personally. I'm not counting too
heavily on it. But wouldn't 1t be
wonderful if he turned out to be
right?

Sam Houston's first trip to Wash
ington was made in the company
of Cherokee Indians. He helped the
tribe to get payment for lands which
they had given up to the whites.
Later Houston returned to Wash
ington as a member Of the House
Of Representatives. Three times the
people OF his district elected him to
that Office and In 1927 he was chosen
Governor of Tennessee.
This record tells of his appear
ance when he became Governor at
the age of 34
HE wore tall, shining black
beaver hat, standing collar, black
satin vest, black silk pants and q
many-colored Indian hunting shirt,
fastened at the waist with a huge
red SASH"
At the end of two years as Gov
ernor Houston suffered disgrace in
his personal life. A court trial later
proved that he was innocent, but
the event led him to resign his pub
lie Office.
Once more Houston turned to his
friends, the Cherokees. They had
been moved to lands west of the
Mississippi and he followed them
there. At this time he was a tall,
broad-shouldered man, his height
being 6 feet, 6 inches. The Chero-
KEGS still felt deep love for him
and adopted him as q member OF
their tribe.
In 1882 Houston made a trip to
Washington to plead the cause of
the Indians. He said they were be-
ing cheated by whites and should
have justice. His old friend, Andrew
Jackson. was now President, and he
named Houston to go to the Texas
border area and make treaties with
Indian tribes there.
So 1t came about that the former
Governor of Tennessee made his
way toward Texas. At that time
Texas was part Of Mexico, but many
af the settlers were Americans.

They were full of photographed faults, TO be

CHARLOTTE forgot all about her husband and
- her children in her devotion to the physician.
She completely emancipated from all cares.
After making journey with the physician TO
Ospedaletti and Lucione, Italy, Charlotte decided
10 go into business and opened up honeymoon
hotel" in the Alps. The venture, however, proved
a failure, and the pair returned TO Monaco.
In time the Princess ardor for Delmazzo grew
calmer - so calm, in fact, that one night on the
beach at the Casino she began filtration with
the doctors friend, the Marquis Strozzi.
The Marquis, a wellknown marksman and
lady killer who travelled about in continual search
of romance, felt fattered, and returned her atten.
tons ten.fold. 20 quanto BELLA" he exclaimed, as
he knelt in rapture at her feet and confessed that
he had been caught in the, snare of her beauty.
Meanwhile, DelmaZZo who had not only lost
Charlotte'S affection but all of his patients while
gavantlng around with the washerwomans
daughter became greeneyed with jealousy on dis
covering her infdelity. One night he followed the
pair 10 a love nest, near Nice After the Marquis
had departed, he rushed into the room of his
former inamorata, berated her for her outrageous
behavior, and gave her good sound spanking.
The pummeled Princess, after breaking off re-
lations with this brutal admirer broke her pretty
nose a few days later in an auto smash.up while
being driven TO Paris by the Marquis StroZzi.
Laughed at because she left her spouse to run
around with the Marquis, Charlotte decided TO get
rid of Pierre, and sued for divorce. AS she was a
member of the reigning family, her case came up
before her own father, who finally granted her a
divorce by royal decree.
In the beginning, the Princess had retained as

Then Pierre, who had received handsome

bringing charges of abduction against Charlottes

daughter, Antoinette. had been taken from his
Paris apartment by Prince Louis agents.
1t had been stipulated that Charlotte's two
children, the Princess Antoinette and the Prince
Rainier, should share their time equally between
their parents. Things were settled when Pierre
received a large sum Of money.
Meantime, the Casino had staked all on rou-
lette, not troubling TO organize any special amuse
mentS to keep the visitors happy. There were
movies, gay life in the streets, and Cannes,
