He was the son of an American army ‘officer; and started on a military career | himself, having three years of training at West Point before he left the service to study art im Paris. After gaining recogni- tion as a painter, etcher and lithographer, he*spent most of his time in England and on the continent of Europe. Whistler was somewhat eccentric and given te quarreling with other artists and critics. He once sued John Ruskin, who had sharply eriticized his work, and was awarded one farthing as damages. He ever afterward carried that coin as a watch charm. The 31st anniversary of Whistler’s death also occurs this month, he having died in London on July 17, 1903.

A THE 14-YEAR LIMIT If every youngster went to college ~who would furnish jobs for the graduates? Recently we deplored the pull and haul, confusion of motives, false premises and general harum-scarum methods of the rival lobbies that have been appearing be- fore the public in relation to the news- paperboy and child labor legislation. There was more of it at Washington last week-end, says Editor & Publisher. We remain of the opinion that edi- torial sentiment of the country is not in favor of the employment of children of tender age to sell or distribute newspapers, or anything else. The 14-year limit that is now proposed, against which circulation departments are crusading, is a_ sensible and fair proposal. Ask us how we fix on that age and we reply that our own human experience tells us that a boy under 14 is too young for the job. We recall peddling Sunday papers at that age, and therefore can speak from experience—it was a heart- breaking business in bad weather, and we do not dish it for the children of this nation. Civilization moves on, and there comes a time when forward-looking men and women demand that conditions be im- proved; for instance that the birthright of the ehild to play and learn and enjoy free- dom of limb and mind be protected by Shakespeare contributed the eet law. “To be or not to be.” The optimist is, the} Newspapers can get their cireulation pessimist isn’t, and the sensible man i work done by children of 14 or older all the middle path. | right, all statements to the contrary not- withstanding. If it costs more money, so be it! Most newspapers are sold to the reader for much less than their worth, and copy prices can be raised. It would involve nothing that capable publishers and cir- culation departments could not solve. Joining hands with the exploiters of child labor in this country, with demon- strations in favor of a complete let-down of law in regard to child life, is net the way out for the American press. The trouble with a “yes-man” is that he’ never has any money when asked for a loan, 4 Don’t worry over the little things, un- less you happen to be a_ kindergarten teacher, A good way to avoid mosquitoes would be to plant a —_ colony near every city. ~1 ii ececicrishianciic Now that Mae West has brought baek curves, prima donnas can safely be cast in “Juliét roles again.

Scientists tell us when two clouds meet in the heavens there’s a sharp report and the pessimist adds that there’s grumbling then for hours afterward.
