Cool Air Mass Break,
2-Week Heat Siege
In Eastern States
BY the Assoeiotsd Press


A storm studded cool air front
broke the East's two-week heat
siege late Saturday.
At Philadelphia, the mercury
dropped from an afternoon high
of SO to 70 at II pm. In some
places in Maryland the drop was
as much as 18 degrees in Is min
utes.
Heavy rain drenched Pittsburgh.
An overnight low of 81 was fore
cast.
Thundershowers brought relief
to heat-stricken New York City
The temperature in Manhattan
dropped 10 degrees to 76 within
an hour after the storm struck
Manhattan at $50 pm.
Earlier Temperatures High.
But earlier temperatures had
soared-to 100 at Newark, N. j.,
SO at Portland. Me-. 94.2 at New
York and So at Hartford, Conn.
At least II heat prostration deaths
were reported throughout the
country.
There were scattered local
reports of relief earlier in the day
in upper New York and New Eng
land as showers dropped Boston S
mercury to 81 for a while and
Dunkirk, N, Y, experienced a
gratifying dip to 81.
But it was 80 In all but few
localities.
1t was the hottest day Of the
year in Maine. Portland's SO broke
the all-time record of 81 degrees
for the date set in 1909. Temper
atures ranged from the high 80s
we'll into the COS in all sections
of the State.
Baltimore, with a high of 96.
chalked up its 18th straight day
Of over 80 temperatures-the third
longest spell in 78 years of record
keeping.
In contrast, clear, cool weather
prevailed from the Great Lakes
westward to the Rockies. and as
far south in the plains as Okla
homa. Chicago's temperature at
3 pm. was 73.
Little Relief for Southeast.
There was some unusually chill
temperatures reported early Sat-
urday in the Midwest, including
40 degrees at Land O'Lakes, Wis.
49 at Oakdale, Nebr., and 56 at
Omaha. The Omaha figure tied
the low record for the date set in
1889.
The Southeast, however, ap-
peared unlikely to be relieved by
the cool air mass which famed
eastward from the Midwest. The
cool weather front moved as far
south in the Ohio valley as Louis
vile, KY. where brief showers in
the early afternoon dropped the
temperature from 30 to SO de-
PreeS.

|of the show has not been estab-
lished and no requests for par
ticular art works have gone out,
the display will deal generally
with the political and sociological
development of the Nation. It
will begin with such art as the
Theodore De Bry engravings after
Theodore Lemoyne's drawings of
Florida Indian life in 1865 and
will depict American history up
to the beginning of the century.
Variety Is Planned.
Mr.. Williams made 1t plain that
the gallery will seek more than
paintings of battles and inaugu-
rations" and will stress such con-
tinuing historical events as the
development of Yankee shipping,
the Gold Rush and other i'm
portant movements as well as
moments in American life.
The director explained that
portraits will be excluded from
the show, as the National Gallery
of Art will have a concurrent
exhibition of historic American
portraits. Also excluded will be
prints dating later than 1900.
In addition to an intense local
search for privately owned works,
the Corcoran has sent out re-
quests for material through art
magazines, and the Daughters Of
the American Revolution will can
vass the country for little known
treasures.
Coupled with this search and
careful tabulation of significant
art works owned by public gal
leries. Corcoran stan members
will 60 on tour to hunt paintings
for the show. Assistant Direc-
tor John P. Leeper is in Canada
seeking paintings Of Colonial and
frontier life and Of the War Of

Collection, will 60 to the South

will tour the West Coast. In
January, Mr.. Williams will make
a search through England. France
and Switzerland.
Arrangements Outlined.
Then will come correspondence
with galleries to arrange for pos
sible loans. The Corcoran itself.
which will be stripped Of most Of
its permanent displays for the

300 works. But Hermann Warner
Williams, jr.. gallery director. is
more interested In the important
paintings in private hands and
which the public never has seen.
Freshness Is Aim.
I'VE should have something
fresh and new for this great ex-
hibition," Mr.. Williams said,
something different from and
supplementing the well-known
historical art works that can be
seen in the leading galleries.
When one thinks of the many
old families living in and around
Washington and the many old
homes dating far back in Ameri-
can history that stand near here,
it seems highly likely they hold
some fine historicsart works. Peo-
pie would greatly appreciate the
chance to see these treasures dur

tion."

Have you any fine old paintings
depicting American History? II
so, you can contribute to what
probably will be the greatest ex-
hibition Of American historical
art the country has seen by lend
ing them to the Corcoran Gallery
Of Art.
That is the message the Cor
coran is sending to Washington
area homes as it prepares for its
Sesquicentennial art show next
summer.
Some of the Nations most i'm
portant historic art hangs in pri-
vate homes, and it Is these trea-
sures that the >-Corcoran hopes
will be loaned for the public to
appreciate. The gallery has been
granted 100000 by the National
Capital Sesquicentennial Com
mission to put on an art display
that will cover the whole span OF
American history through the
Spanish War.
OF course, gallery officials are
consulting catalogues Of collec-
tions in this country and abroad
to find pictures suitable for the
show, which probably will include

things, paintings that are not old
Shoe That is why we hope that
private collectors and owners will
lend us their art works." Mr.. Will
liams said.
Final and most difficult task will
be the selection of works for ex-
hibition. Mr.. Williams said the
gallery will not sacrifice artistic
quality for "newness. nor historic
truth for notoriety. The privately
owned art works must be Of the
highest quality, and the gallery
has set rule that the painting
must be generally contemporary
with the event 1t depicts. 1--WE
don't want artists, good though
they be, who dipped into their
imaginations and came up with
fanciful. inaccurate pictures" Mr..
Williams said.
There are some paintings, how
ever. that are 30 weu-known and
beloved they have become part Of
American mythology even though
they are not factual, and they will
be needed for this great exhibi-
ton, too."

MOTHERS DAY, 1910

NEXT SUNDAY, MAY TH, is Mothers Day. It is one of
the most remarkable days in the year, and observed in every
corner of the United States and the Territories. We here have
been following closely, and the day becomes more significant
as the years go by. 1t is the day, of all days, when all thoughts
turn to the importance of the hand who rocks the cradle, and
whose influence is felt in the lives of all
OF THE INSTITUTIONS which touch and affect the
lives of all civilized people, it is said that the home, the school
and the church are the most important, in that order. A child
gets his first impression in the home. It is there that the in
fluence and early training given by the parents, and more
particularly the mother, which lives with and largely molds
the lite OF the future citizen. Honesty, decency, respect for
law and order, all of which eliminate into sound citizenship
are planted and deeply rooted in the home where the hand of
the mother is felt.
FOR THE PAST three years the Christiansted Parents
Health Organization has selected what it considered the re-
preventative mother of the year. While no standards have been
drawn up, Judging from the three women thus selected, it is
clear that the organization has based its requirements upon
the lines used on the continent. A mother who has raised chill
dren to the best of her ability, along Christian principles as
he knows and understands them, and who has made a serious
fort to be as exemplary as she knows how. Having done that,
her children will invariably reflect much of that effort given
in earlier life. Two years ago Mrs. AloysiuS James, who is well
known, was selected; the following year Mrs. Lionel Emanuel,
a young mother, who is the president of the PTO, was chosen,
and this years selection is Mrs. Ruth 0. Stevens, also very well
known.
ON OTHER DAY everyone should make an effort to
observe whatever the day holds, worshipping in the church of
our choice, and expressing gratitude for having had the care,
devotion and attention of a mother, who was largely response
bic for bringing us through the early, tender, difficult years.
And this should be the case whether we wear a red or a white
carnation.

Maryland Is Conceded
Little Chance in Tilt
With Michigan State
By MerrelI Whittlesey
Sior Staff Correspondent

EAST LANSING, Mich, Oct.
s.-The University Of Maryland
may be a football powerhouse in
its own back yard, but out here
the Terps are just another South
ern school and are conceded little
chance to upset Michigan State
today. A crowd Of $4,000 is ex-
pected in the 50,000-capactiy
Macklin Stadium.
This is the big game of the
year for the Terps. who stand
an excellent chance to 60 un-
defeated If they get by this one.
On the other hand, the Spartans
are not too worked up over Mary
land as they've already played
Michigan, meet Notre Dame later
on and have other. toughies ahead
such as Penn State and William
and Mary.
Maryland sputtered and fumbled
against v. P. I. before winning.
34-7, in It's season opener, but last
week against Georgetown the
Terps were slightly terrific IN
burying- the Hoyas, 1877.
Michigan State played Michigan
statistically even before losing,
7-3. then routed Marquette 48-7
last week. gaining 703 yards in
one afternoon, or more than some
teams gain in the entire season.
The Spartans have II backs who
averaged more than five yards
per try last year, one of the
slickest halfbacks in the Midwest
in Lynn Chandnois. and two
guards who Frank Leahy termed
the best pair in the country on
one team, Ed Bagdon and Don
Mason.
Both teams have shown more
offensive potentialities on the
ground than in the air. and with
Joe fuckers hand still painful,
Maryland may have to depend
more than ever on its ground
attack today.
The Terps arrived yesterday
afternoon by plane and confined
their pregame activities to meet
ings. as Coach Jim Tatum seldom
