MILLIONS IN LOSSE GAUSED BY FLOODS Rivers in New England Swol- len by Continued Rains—In- dustries Are Paralyzed. By the Acsociated Press. BOSTON, May 1.—Several million dollary damage has been caused by freshets in New England In the last two days, and the situation Is still serfous. Rivers arc swollen by con- tinued rains and fed by melting snow in the mountain districts, Thousands of persons have been thrown out of work by the flooding of mill property, the interruptions to power supply that have come with the breaking of dams, and the en- forced suspension of railroad and street car service. Maine is ithe heaviest sufferer, millions of feet of lumber having been swept away. In the valleys of the Connecticut and Merrimac rivers and their trib- utariey in New Hampshire and Ver- mont, the da has been less marked, but have been flooded and lowlands covered with mud and water Worst Damage Since 18¢ Along the Kennebee river in Maine conditions were said to be the worst since the memorable flood of March 3. 1396, Most of the plants along the river are at a standstill, either through high water encroaching on the factorie from lack of po in many 1y f Maine and ) Hampshire 1l threughout ye! terday and water_is steadily ris tng.

PARIS, May 1.—The first joint salon | of the two leading and rival art as- soclations of France, which has just opened, is chiefily characterized by the predominance of works of por- traiture and by the growing evidence of the influence of the great war on the fine arts. It is the most serlous salon in many years. The nude is conspicuous by reason of fts rariety: military sub- ijects are very common, particularly in the sculpture, and there is a de- cided tendency toward themes. Of the two expositions, that of the Societe Nationale des Baux Arts, skows closer fidelity to classic tradi- tion, while its younger rival, the| HE Biascope is a new six-power bi- nocular fieldglass weigh- ing only a trifle over seven ounces, in a hand- some leather case, for only $5.00. The Bia- scope is small enough for your pocket. religious | : OMETRIST [ Soctete Des Artistes Francals, is delv-. ing into the ultra modern. This is the first occasion for the contrast to be mo lhupfi drawn, the two ten- dencies being all the more accentuat- ed by the joint showing. Fifty American Artists in List. Fifty American artists are among the exhibitors, and of their produc- tions a portrait of Maj. Gen..Henry T. Allen, former commander of the American _forces in Germany, Amanda Brewster Sewell, of N York, is probably the most strikin Gen. ‘Allen is represented in full unl form wearing all his decorations and Ihis picture ~occuples a prominent place near full length portraits of Marshals Petain and Lyautey and the Sultan_of Morocco. All these are the objects of general attention, but they are less striking than a full portrait of the Prince of Wales, exhibited by an English artist. Wales, all in white, dressed for polo and holding his heimet In his hand, dominates the gallery in which the painting is hung. At the other end King Alfonso of Spain, painted on horseback by Georges Scatt de Plag- | nolles, appears to ooking around to see if the prince is aware he is there. This picture is likely to be the one most criticized of the entire salon, because of the artist's ambi- tious effort and the doubtful value of the result. | In the sculpture, even more than The World in Your Pocket An ADITORIAL The Biascope enhances the pleasures of the opera, theater, and the great outdoors.

Are You Carrying the Load? It’s all right to underwrite your own insurance until the fire or the accident happens—and then you’ll wish you had an Insurance Company to fall back on. You know you can’t just feel as comfort- able when you are assuming the risk—and the re- sponsibility and the worry are not worth the saving of the moderate premium that gives you protection.
