Secretary Hoover's delegate total had grown to 467, of which 184 are con- |tested. A total of 545, or a majority |of the 1089 sent to the Republican convention, is necessary to put the can- didate over.

Besides the 28 in New Jersey, Smith Toped in 16 more delegates with the holding of conventions in Vermont and Montana, each State giving him 8. Should it appear that Smith might not win the nomination, the Montana delegation, under the instructions given it , will seek to have Senator ‘Walsh of that State reconsider his with- drawal as a candidate, so they can support him. Walsh stopped all efforts in his be- half after the recent California pri- maries, which, he said, showed the futility of further contesting with Gov. Smith, who won handily in that race t both Walsh and Senator Reed Missouri. The Montana Senator will be a delegate to the Houston con- vention. TO TAMMANY RULE Mrs. R. B.

While we have been devoted to the development of our material resources, as a Nation ought to be which heeds the admonition to be deligent in business, we have not been neglectful of the higher things of life. In fact, I believe it can be demonstrated that the intellectual and moral awaken- ing which characterized our people in their early experiences was the fore- runner and foundation of the remark- able era of development in which we now live. But in the midst of all the| swift-moving events we have an increas- ing need for inspiration. Men and| women become conscious that they must seek for satisfaction in something more than worldly succe: They are moved with a desire to rise above themselves.| It is but natural, therefore, that we! should turn to the field of art. Distinction in Arts. “In its early inception the term ‘arts’ embraced the whole realm of liberal culture. Our institutions of learning have perpetuated this idea in the de- grees of bachelor of arts and master of arts. We have come to make a distinc- tion, however, between arts intended to appeal primarily to the emotions and those designed to be of practical value. We refer to painting, sculpture, the adornments of architecture, music, poe- try and the drama as fine arts. More | recently we have designated the perfec- tion and refinement of the design of | articles fabricated by modern machinery | as industrial arts. But in a wider sense the arts include all those manifesta- tions of beauty created by man which broaden and enrich life. It is an at-| tempt to transfer to others the highest and best thoughts which the race ha: experienced. The self-expression which | it makes possible rises into the realm | of the divin “In ition of these principles the American leration of Arts was found- ed nearly 20 years ago. It has for its }mrpoae not only the promotion of art for its own sake but to relate it to the life of the people in such & way as to| increase happiness and advance clvill-| zation. It places especial emphasis on | the art of living. Dim Beginnings of Art. “It is impossible to conjecture when the race first began to seek its happi- ness by ¢ forms of beauty. Very early, however, it gives expression to its desire for adornment in the making >f the home. Architecture is very old. Art made very considerable strides in the early days of our own country. But in the commercial and industrial ex- pansion which followed the discovery of gold in California and during the war | period the people had scarcely any op- portunity for other things, and art re- ceived little attention. When it revived in the latter part of the century it turned a great deal of attention to architecture. At the time Henry H. Richardson designed Trinity Church at Boston he gave La Farge the opport nity to enhance its beauty with mural | decorations. He was also an inspira- tion to the group to which Stanford White and Augustus Saint-Gaudens be- longed. But it was the World's Fair at Chicago in 1893 which gave a band of earnest and gifted artists the oppor- ;:‘nuy for expressing their ideals of uty. “The result was the White City. Thh‘ made a profound impression on those who had the good fortune to visit it, and seemed to revive and inspire a de- site for more beautiful surroundings which was Nation-wide. A few years later came the Library of Congress, in the decoration of which Biashfield, Walker, Stmmons, Cox, Melchers and other mural artists co-operated under the supervision of Millet. Their murals sign. since in many monumental public build- ings throughout the country. Plan Commission Created. “The Washington Plan Commission, with which the name of Senator James | McMillan of Michigan will always be associated, was created in 1901. ‘It i cluded such illustrious names as Burn- ham, McKim, Saint-Gaudens and Olm- sted. Its report not only pointed the way back to the original L'Enfant plan for the National Capital but started a national movement for a more orderly and artistic development of our cities. | | The elaborate plans now under way for | | the construction of public ings | which will make Washington the most | beautiful capital in the world is one of | the results of this movement. This stirring of a national art consciousness, the realization that there should be | | some medium for the expression and | growth of this aroused interest in the | finer things of life, probably had much to do with the inception of the Federa- TEXT OF PRESIDENT'S SPEECH . AT ARTS-MUSEUMS MEETING Mr. Coolidge Traces Development of Arts and Emphasizes Good It Has Done in National and Individual Life. there to ally themselves with its life. They will open a gallery and will en- courage the growth of civic and home art in every possible way. “In the development of an artistic sense and in ministering to the love of the beautiful we naturally have sought examples of art of other years and other countries, as well as those of our own period and country. The assembling of these treasures in museums not only has made them available to the public | but has afforded the opportunity for comparison and study. “There are museums devoted to his- tory and to science, and more recently to the industries as we]l as to art. Hun- dreds of millions of dollars have been spent in 114, buildings and equipment to accommodate collections of inesti- mable value. It is said that it costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $25,- 000,000 a vear to operate and maintain them. What more natural than that those directly interested in this work should have wished to come together each year to exchange views and to es- tablish co-operative relations? Such was the beginning. 22 years ago, of the American Association of Museums. Headauarters Established. “In 1923 a year-around headquarters was opened in Washington for the pur pose of gathering and disseminating in formation of value in solving adminis trative and educational problems. En- couragement and aid have been given in the establishment of new museums, particularly those of the small commu- nity type. To furnish facllities for na- ture study and to enhance the enjoy- ment of life out of doors museums have been started in our national and State parks. Whatever may be done to in- crease museum facilities and to render their collections of more use to man- kind is a most valuable service, and de- TVes every encouragement. “The impetus given to city planning by the McMillan commission has carried {that art and its practice a long way. Gradually civic pride has been stimu- lated to the point where well kept streets and parks, fine public buildings and private construction of a pleasing design, all developed with a thought to a harmonious whole, are considered es- sential to a modern community. Zon- ing laws, originated for the purpose of keeping industry from spreading through cities at random, and limitations placed on the height and character of bufld- ings in recent years have brought about the development of a distinctive type of American business architecture. It has been much admired and praised by vis: itors from abroad. If clothes make the man—and certainly good dress gives one a sense of self-respect and poise— how much more is it true that clean, beautiful surroundings lend a moral tone to a community. Gradually we are getting rid of the squalor of the slums of our big cities and of the op- pressive ugliness of some of the small owns. “It is especially the. practical side of art that requires more emphasis.

Out of our agriculture, our commerce and our industry we can al- ready see emerging a new spirit. The potential is becoming actual. Through sclence and invention, gradually but surely, we are banishing the drudgery of existence and bringing into every avenue of living a touch of the artistic. which every one will realize that they are artists, in their employment, '3 their recreation and in their relations one with another. It is to this high calling that the members of your asso- ciations have dedicated themselves. The service which they are rendering is of inestimable value for the advancement of an enlightened civilization.” EX-DRY HEAD NAMED IN BUFFALO CHARGES Inquiry Includes 38 Officials, Bribes Put at $500,000.

The first, to be conduct- ed under a $50,000 grant from the Car- negie Corporation, is a study of the place of art in the lives of the pecple of a given community. Cedar Rapids, Towa, a city of about 60,000 population, of which, 15,000 are Czechoslovakians, has been chosen for this experiment which will be carried on by Mr. and Mrs. Edward B. Rowan. ‘The second project is a collection of paintihgs, sculpture and architectural photographs portraying various aspects of sport in America, which is to be sent to Amsterdam this year for exhi- bition at the Olympic games, Mrs. Coolidge is the honorary chairman. of the committee in charge of the project and Secretary Mellon is the honorary | "treasurer.
