GRAND CENTRAL ART GALLERIES In New York, Yet Really Are Secluded New York, Jan, 13 (®—In the heart of New York, over the great- est network of rallroad tracks in the world, there are 16 quiet reoms where the noise does not penetrate, and where the city's rare gleams of sun manage to sneak down between the buildings and through the sky- lights, g The vast rooms are the Graud Central Art Gallerles, perched atop the block-wide Grand Central stu- tion—in the very middle of the city, vet strangely aloof from the‘noises " of the city. The galleries grew from the dream of a business man, to fill a long-felt want among artists. They are nou- profit making, but self-supporting. Walter L. Clark was the business man, a prominent New York engi- neer, whose theories of business applied to American art founded and developed the galleries, He obtain- ed the financial support of other wealthy men and women, discovered the rat-infested attic of the Grand Central, and won the help of the New York €entral railroad in reno- vating the zpace, “The _galleries,” explained Mr. Clark, “are financed by approsi- mately 150 influential American citi- :zens and are under the direction of seven nationally known business ;executives. The idea is to operate this organization at no profit to any one except the artist and yet to manage it on a business basis." Ounly living American artists may take membership in the galleries, and a selecting board of artists nominates and votes upon the works to be exhibited. A sales organiza- tion takes care cf the selling with a margin of profit to provide for the & cost of upkeep. The 150 lay members contribute $600 a year for three years, and the 150 artist members contribute +a work of art a year for three years. At the annual drawing each tay member is entitled to select one of the artist's contributions, and in many instances the donors secure _ masterpieces which would sell for . well over $1,000, In its promotion of American art, the organization sends exhibits to all parts of the country, accompan- ied by a salesman well equipped ‘with a knowledge of art and modern “artists, As part of the effort to stimulate popular interest in the work of American artists of standing, the gallery has instituted a policy of suggesting small artistic bronzes as trophies to be used instead of the silver loving cup that has so long and s0 uselessly been the symbol of victory in contests. MUGH EXPERIENCE IN PEACE WORK {Miss Ruth Morgan Cbairman ~ of Committoe New York, Jan. 13 (M—Years of devotion to the cause of world peace are behind Miss Ruth Morgan's contribution to the Conference on the Cause of Cure of War to be held in Washington January 15-19. | Miss Morgan, who is chairman of the foreign policy committee of the conference and vice president of the National League of Women Voters, was director of the Red Croms Nurses' bureau in France during the World War and immediately upon her return renewed her activities for international peace and understand- ing. | She will be chairman of the joint committee of readers at the Con- ference on the Cause and Cure of War, a group that will pass upon 400 manuscripts submitted by wom- en all over the country in an ef- fort to secure two definite and workable “peace plans.” She is head of the department of International Cooperation to Pre- vent War, a peace plan committee founded by the League of Women Voters in 1922, and in that capacity directed the league's three-year cam- paign for the World Court. At the close of the Paris congress last year she was appointed chair- man of the new peace committee of the International Woman Suffrage Alliange and as a result has been ac- tive fh coordinating women's peace efforts the world over. In New York, where she makes her home, Miss Morgan has done a | great deal of work as head of the! Women's National Defense commit- tee and ‘as a member of the board of managers of the Bellevue hos- pital.
