Washingtonians, as nearly all OF
these artists are represented here
the sculptors with particular distinc-
ton. Saint Gaudens' Adams Me-
mortal" is considered by many peo-
lple his outstanding masterpiece;
MacMonnies' General Mcclellan
and his Shakespeare" and central
bronze door at the Library of Con-
gress, and Bartlett's ''Michelangelo"
and Columbus" there, must be IA
miliar to many residents. La Fargo,
Sargent, Cecilia Beaux, Mary Cas-
satt, Walter Griffin and Frederick
Jackson Wiley are the painters. Mr..
Paris eulogies are informal, easy
and pleasant to read, and are con-
cerned primarily with the artists
careers.
Excellent Biography.
The volume is dedicated to Elmer
Ellsworth Brown, chancellor of New
York University from 1911 to 1898,
who did much to encourage the de-
velopment of the Hall of American
Artists. Harold o. Voorhis, secre-
tary of the university, VINO knew him
as close associate, mas written an
excellent biography of Chancellor
Brown for this book, which Il
phrased in remarkable harmony
with the subject. It conjured up
for me a whole procession of college
professors giving lectures in nicely
turned sentences spiced with gentle
humor which never approach hi
larity.
President Nicholas Murray Butler
and Chancellor Harry WOODBURY.
Chase have contributed sympathetic
forewords. The volumes only lack
seems to be the name of the sculp-
tor who made tlle bronze bust Of
Chancellor Brown, reproduced as a
frontispiece. AL too frequently,
sculptors receive no credit when
their work Is illustrated.

DOWN 1HE SIHEICH
The Story of Col. Matt J. VIM
As Told to Frank G.. Menke.
(Smith & DurrelI;; $780,
Reviewed by CHARLES M. EGAN.
This is a better book than its
rather unimaginative title might in
dictate. OF particular interest to fol-
lowers Of horse racing, it also makes
good reading for the general public,
as Col. VIM, the man who made
the Kentucky Derby a national in
stitution, has lived a colorful life
for nearly "a years and has provided
his .biographer with world of ma
terial.
Every one knows how Col. VIM.
then Is years old. saw the first
Kentucky Derby in 1875 while seated
on his fathers wagon in the back
stretch at Churchill Downs, and how
he has seen every Derby since then.
But few persons know the circum-
stances under which VIM, then a
partner in prosperous tailoring
business in his native Louisville,
dSAAll Gu CCLlLlOA Vi
Churchill Downs racing plant back
in 1902. The track had never been
a money maker, but VIM quickly
changed all that.
Famous Derby Winners.
The publicity wise colonel Ken
lucky variety gives three Derby
winners a lot of credit for this. They
were Donerail, which paid $18490
for 81 in 1913 and got lot of head
lines for the then little known pari-
mutuels: Old Rosebud, which won
the 1914 race by eight lengths in
spectacular time, and Regret, the
filly winner of 1915.
Perhaps the best chapter in the
book is South of the Border" which
deals with the VIM activities in
Mexico, chiefly in Juarez.
AS result of a reform wave. rae
ing had been abolished by 1909 in
all but three States-Kentucky
Maryland and New York. That
meant no winter racing, which made
the going tough for owners of small
stables. So group headed by Col.
VIM and the late James Butler
decided to build a track at Juarez.
The track opened on December l.,
1909, and operated for eight seasons
despite the series of Mexican revolu-
lions which flourished during seven
of these years. Col. VIM never
knew when there was going to be
shooting between races, and he re-
counts some choice stories of his
dealings with Pancho Villa, Car
rama, Huerta, ct al
Also operating at the Juarez
track in those days were many who
are still well known in racing,
Laurel Race Track.
Washington readers will find the
material on Laurel of especial in
terest. Col. VIM and Mr.. Butler,
his associate at Juarez and earlier
at Empire City, bought the Mary
land track for 100000 in 1918. It
was there that Col. VIM staged
the famous match races between
Hourless and Omar Khayyam and
Eternal and Billy Kelly.
The old-timer picks Exterminator
as the greatest horse he ever saw
and the 1913 Derby as the best of
them ALL Count Fleet won easily
that year, but at one time it looked
as though the ODT and the trans
portation problem would force call
ing off of the race. That is why
the colonel calls it the best Derby.

The extent to which the two au-

contributed to its composition is not
specified, and one cannot but WON
der about the point, as one does
when a writing team consists of a
veteran and comparatively un-

smoothly. There is no evidence of
divided authorship in it. One can
say, moreover, that it contains a

When they arrive at the nearest

not to be permitted to go to their

Arrived at the village they find

Earth Might Be Fair
By Richard S. Enrich Harp

Reviewed by
JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.


This volume-the presiding bish-
ops selection for Lent-is another
contribution to the growing litera-
ture of the spiritual movement
against the dominance of political
government. 1t takes its place with
other affirmations of the cause of
religion versus the rampant modern
state. But let it be said at once
that its position is, far above the
ordinary level of contemporary writ
ing of didactic character.
The author is scholar of emf
nence and he writes against back
ground of travel, study and expert
ence exceptional for variety and
scope. His theme is the endeavor
of man to relate himself to his
divine source. Inevitably, he strikes
at the interference of totalitarian
dogmas.
But Earth Might Be Fair" is
more than a preachment against
the engrandizement of politics. Man
DR.. Enrich insists, has eternity in
his heart" The terrible simpli-
fiers" who belittle him fail in their
unworthy effort because they do not
appreciate the completely Of our
natures" do not understand that
I'VE are a mysterious unity of body
and spirit and it is only in
turning gladly, freely to both worlds
that we obey the laws of our being.
Those providential laws naturally
are in conflict with the tyrannical
regulations of dictators who strive
to liquidate the creative principle
from the universe-or to replace II
with their own ambitions.
In constructive opposition to all
such doctrines of negation, this book
sets up the Maritain criterion that
I'VE can judge society by the feel
ing and respect it has for the in
dividual'" DR.. Enrich takes his
stand for "an estimate of man" like
that personified in Elizabeth Fry
and Father Damien, Kagawa and
Schweitzer. He cautions his readers
to remember that victory in the pre-,
vailing war will serve merely to
Slam the door ION this particular
Fascist attempt to rule the world.
Peace-and the happiness which
man needs, can earn and deserve
will come only through that ancient
faith" through which he can rise
to new dignity and courage"
How the traditional tie between
the Almighty and His children may
be restored is the subject of Earth
Might Be Fair The essential ele-
ment Is to be discovered in Karl
Mannheim's declaration, cited by
DR.. Enrich: ut is only by remaking
man himself that the reconstruction
of society Is possible"

FARLEY PLANNED
TO DISCUSS REGIME
OF FRANCOIS SPAIN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-P-
The United States has notified
France of its readiness to discuss
with Britain and France all aspects
of the relations of the three gov
ernments with Spain's Franco re-
gime.
Acting Secretary of State Dean
Acheson told a news conference to-
day that the United States govern
ment, replying to French sugges-
ton for such discussions, had indl-
Gated its willingness to go into the
matter whenever and wherever
France suggests.
This U. S. reply, Acheson said,
was delivered in Paris this week.
The secretary added that he had
had no word from France since
the original suggestion and hence
could not say when or where the
three-power discussions might take
place.
