NEW YORK, July 18.—There's a lot of talk today at the Grend Central Galleries about “dialectics.” There tomorrow, fresh from creating an argument out in Chicago, Wil be hung what the galleries call “peculisr, primititive, yet naive drawings of nude | figures.” The artist is Maude Phelps Hutchins, youthful wife of the just as youtbful president of the University cf Chicago. They sailed for Europe Saturday on the Statendam. It is not, apparently, the technique or the style that disconcerts the experts. for New Ycrk has scen many a young man_return from Paris with stuff so peculiar that the tops or bottrms had to be labeled for the benefit of the Hang- | ing_Committce—it’s the name. | “Dialectics” to Webster were just a matter of logic in general or, to re:trict the term more, the logic of probable reasoning, which, as a name for Mrs Hutchin's Nudes, takes you wherever you want to go.

M’CARL GIVES RULING ON TRAVEL ALLOWANCE Minister to Sweden to Get $68 Per Day for Expenses on Ice- land Trip. In his first decision on the question of foreign travel ynder the economy act, Controller General McCarl has reduced from a 'proposed $20 to $6 a day the “per diem” to be allowed Fred- erick W. B. Coleman, American Min- ister at Copenhagen, for an official trip to Iceland. He is to make a formal presentation of the statue of Leif Erics- son on behalf of the United States. In 1930, Secretary of State Stimson explained, a delegation was granted a per diem in lieu of subsistence while in Iceland. “This amount was re- quired,” sald the Secretary, “because of the unusual conditions confronting vis- itors to Reykjavik, where it is necessary to make special arrangements in - vance in order to obtain living accom- modations ordinarily found in the ho- tels of more frequented cities. The representative charaster of the delega- tion also led to the granting of a per diem in excess of the then statutory allowance in lieu of subsistence.” McCarl held, nevertheless, that the economy act must hold in the forth- coming trip of the American Minister, and the members of the “delegation to the Iceland celebration may not be paid subsistence expenses in excess of the average of $6 per day while out- side the ~continental limits of the United States.” FOUR BOYS DESIGNATED Group From Capital Area to Take West Point Examinations.
