PSYCHO-PLASTIC ART
BLOTS OUT REALISM
Blank Spaces Are Provided
for Mind to Fill In.
PAINT INDUSTRY DOOMED
Brush Makers Apt to Shudder at
Xcw School Independents
Seek to Establish.
NEW YORK, April 2. The art of
the psycho-plastic, the art that Is and
yet isn't, that offends not, no matter
how awful it may be, has been found
In the most recent horrible examples
at the exhibition of the independent
artists. Several names for this have
been sugsested, such as psycho-
grraphic and psychopathic, but psycho
plastic was finally decided upon be
cause it means so much. The psycho-
grraphs are divided into two classes,
the invisibilists and the visiblists, and
If one must say it some of the best
work is contained in the frames of
the invisiblists.
As the eye wanders around the
walls of the exhibition it lights fre
auently upon little blank spaces bear
Ing such titles as the "Humming Bird
at Humming," and the "Heart Throbs
In a Tea Pot."
Blank Spaces Full of Meanins.
They are pregnant with fulfilled
vision, these little blank spaces, for
they are Einsteinian art in the fourth
dimension. To say it in the words
of an expert who explained the mean
ing of the psycho-plastics:
The art of the invisiblists is an
ultra-dimensional, temporal - spatial
art, appealing not to separate sense
organs but to the residue of undif
ferentiated sensitivity, that is to say.
their art is synaesthetic."
After that anything is clear. They
are like the internal realists, who are
a branch of the psycho-plastics. Al
most anything may happen in a pic
ture of the internal realists without
offending Dr. Straton.
"The picture of the internal real
ists," went oh the expert, "have been
purified of all the cluttering symbols
of actuality, and hence the mind of
the beholder Is liberated so that he
may indulge in the unalloyed pleasure
of contemplation. In the 'Nude Shop
girls in Jazz Organization' and in
'Still Life at Bay," all the petty de
tails of actuality have been dispensed
with and the subject presented in
such a way that even a blue law
parson may get all the thrill that
the titles suggest without havisg
to blush the next time he faces his
congregation. Internal realism pro
tects the public from the impure
emotions which may be aroused in
their bosoms by the debasing bru
tality of such brute facts as the
nude human figure."
Realism Is Not Lacking;.
But it may be said that, however
promising Internal realism may be,
there is enough external realism in
the independents' show to provide
thrills for a large crowd. One can
dash by these pictures with averted
eye, of course, and gaze at a work
of the invisiblists without a shudder.
It may suggest a clam at sunset or
a welsh rarebit in anger,; or even
a mountain top during an earth
quake to three different persons, and
all of them are right. The internal ,
picture of a salad dressing looks like
a Yale banner with three cheers
breaking out upon it in the form of
Russian drfssing. As for the "Un
draped Picture of an Auto Wreck,"
there are things in that which sim
ply defy description, and onlv as art
unfolds itself under the guiding fin
ger of the expert does the inner
symbolism of the thing break upon
the mind. It is a most thorough
wreck.
I for ti-ese democratic victories in local
New England elections you don't find
much that seems to have very sub
stantial bearing on national issues. In
Khode Island there is a textile strike,
which has been on for more than ten
weeks and " 'hich has given rise to
discontent. In Connecticut, the con
siderable number of Italian voters j
don't like prohibition and have got
the idea that the republicans are re
sponsible for it.
Some leaders in Connecticut say
that the chief reason for discontent
with the republican party is the long
postponement of the passage of
new tariff act. It is difficult to see
how that particular variety of dis
content can logically translate itself
into a vote for the democrats. Even
democratic observers in Connecticut
admit that if the republicans with
reasonable speed now should pass
tariff bill, satisfactory to all the
manufacturers of the state, and if the
manufacturing interests should put
.their shoulders into the fight with
hearty earnestness, the republicans
would regain some of their lost ad
vantage. Majority Is Large One
There can hardly be any denying
the significance of the election in
Hartford, which gave a democratic
majority of between $3500 and J4000.
This is the largest majority ever
recorded for any party in a Hart
ford city election.
Hartford mayors are usually elected
by majorities that don't run over 700
on either side. Harding carried Hart
ford less than two years ago by up
ward of 7000 votes and a change of
more than 10,000 votes in a city of
this size is undeniably significant.
It appears to have a square fight
without complicating personalities
and with a good man running on the
republican ticket.
Nearly ever city election in Con
nectivut since 1920 has gone demo
cratic' This is not necessarily to be
, taken too literally as an index of
what the state would do in a na
tional election. As a shrewd ob
server in that state once expressed
it, "it is one of the habits of Con
necticut voters of republican - per
suasion to take out their animosity
on the republican party in elections
which really do not count very much,
but when it comes to a national elec
tion the old party spirit prevails.
They reserve their intellectual de
bauch for municipal affairs, and
stand pat when it comes to national
affairs."
Discontent Seen in East.
Broadly speaking, the national re
publican leaders look on these New
England local elections as indexes
of the present political feeling in in
dustrial communities. They feel
reasonably confident that the dis
content in the farming districts of
the middle west and west has been
overcome by the higher prices for
farm products. But in the industrial
east there is still much unemployment,
and the discontent that goes with it.
They believe, however, and have
some good evidence for it, that bus
iness conditions in the industrial east
are improving. They expect this Im
provement to continue steadily until
November. And they rely on that
to make them secure.
KEEN INTEREST FELT
N SEAPLANE FLIGHT
Europe-to-Brazil Adventure
Shrouded in Atlantic.
AIRMEN NAVAL OFFICERS
First Leg of Voyage Is Reported,
but Nothing More Heard Since
Hopoff for Cape Verde.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
LONDON, Aoril 6. (Special Cable.)
Keen interest is felt here in an at-
temot to cross the Atlantic in a small
seaplane by two veteran naval offi
cers who set out last Friday and at
last reports are still "somewhere in
the Atlantic." Their destination Is
Brazil, distant bv air line 4200 miles.
About all that the public knows of
the trip is that the first leg, to i.as
Palmas, distant 710 miles, was easily
made by Friday afternoon, at a re
ported velocity of 85 miles an hour.
It seems that mishaps to the wire rig
ging forced a stop at Las Palmas, and
bad weather prolonged the stay until
yesterday. Then the plane was head
ed for Cape Verde, a run of 920 miles.
That is as far as definite reports go.

WOMEN LOOM AS S0L0NS
Prediction Made Several Will Go
to Congress This Year.
DETROIT, Mich., April 6. Several
women will sit in the next congress,
in the opinion of Mrs. Harriet Taylor
Upton, vice-chairman of the repub
lican national committee, who was a
speaker before the women's repub
lican club here Wednesday. The rec
ord of Miss Alice Robertson of Okla
homa, Mrs. Upton declared, would aid
the candidacies of a number of women
who are seeking seats in the coming
elections.
Women's political activities now
are in a transitory state and they
probably never will figure promi
nently as office holders, except in
minor ofices, but their influence will
permeate politics as it does the
homes, Mrs. Upton said.
One of the greatest obstacles in the
way of women office seekers, she
said ""is the fact that man trusts
woman individually, but not collectively."
DISCONTENT IS TRACED
(Continued From Firgt Page.)
that is regarded as increasingly val
uable in proportion, as city after
city in Connecticut goes democratic.
The persons most frequently men
tioned as likely candidates for the
democratic nomination include the
ex-democratic national chairman. Ho
mer S. Cummings, who is a strong
AVilson and league of nations man, to
gether with Thomas J. Spellachy, who
was in Washington as an assistant
attorney-general during the Wilson
administration, with some others who
are not well known outside of the
state.
In Rhode Island the sitting senator
is a rather inconspicuous democrat,
Peter O. Gerry, who is serving his
first term. The probability is that
Senator Gerry will again get the dem
ocratic nomination. It is equally
probable that his republican opponent
will be ex-Governor Livingston
Beeckman. This Rhode Island sena
torship may as readily go one way
as the other.
When you inquire for the reasons
Next ISleetlon Tuesday.
The next election for a national
official will come on Tuesday next.
It will occur in New York in a dis
trict along the southern tier, and
somewhat west of the center of the
state. Its purpose is to fill the va
cancy created by appointment of the
recent republican congressman, Al
lanson B. Houghton, to be ambas
sador to Germany. It is normally i
strong republican district. Represent
ative Houghton once carried it by
a plurality of nearly 30,000 and once
by more than 16,000.
The district is prevailingly one of
small towns and old farms, with
one consiaeraoie raiiroaa town ana
the seat of Cornell university. The
counties included in the district ara
chiefly old American communities'
with relatively few negro or foreign
voters.
The democrats have nominated as
their candidate, Frank Irvine, dean
of the Cornell law school. He has
come out against the Volstead act.
The republican candidate, Lewis
Henry, has anounced that he indorses
prohibition.
VOTING UNITS INCREASED
Ieschutes Adds Five to Number of
Precincts in County.
BEND, Or., April 6. (Special.)
When primary elections are held
next month, five more precincts will
figure in the results than at previous
balloting. A recent action of the
county court increased the number
from 24 to 29.
Three precincts were added in
Bend, one in Redmond, and Tethrow
precinct is divided, allowing for the
creation of Pleasant Ridge precinct.
Steady growth of the population
has made the changes necessary, the
last general election showing that
some precincts were growing so
large as to make the ballot count a
matter of several days.
Prineville May Plant Trees.
PRINEVILLE, Or., April 6. (Spe
cial.) The Crook county chamber
has appointed Rev. M. R. Gallaher,
J. E. Myers and George Nicolai a
committee to consider the planting
of trees and shrubbery in the streets
to beautify the city.

Airmen Confident of Success.
The airmen are Cabral Sacadura,

also a naval captain of 56. They set
out supremely confident of a suc
cessful flight. The itinerary beyond
Cape Verde is to Fernaho Noronha, a
Brazilian penal island 1260 miles; the
Brazilian coast, 300 miles further on.
and a final leg of 1010 miles to Rio
de Janeiro. .
They are carrying two inventions of
their own, in which they place great
reliance. One is an artificial hori
zon for the determination of their
bearings at night, and the other is an
arrangement of smoke bombs for the
guidance of navigators along their
path.
-Wireless Outfit Not Carried.
They have no wireless outfit, but
expect to overcome this handicap,
partly by means of the bombs and in
part by a limited convoy of three
Portuguese warships which have
been assigned to stations along the
route for the double purpose of
watching for the safety of the avi
ators and keeping the ministry of
marine here informed of the progress
of the flight.
The seaplane is from the Fairgy
Aviation company, Ltd., London. It
carries a 400-horse-power Rolls-Royce
motor and especially light gasoline
for a flight of 18 hours. There has
been much official criticism of the
navy or expending at this time the
money the flight is costing, including
equipment, but the public became en
thusiastic over the trial flights and
is now keyed to a high pitch of ex
citement, confident that the old sea
dogs, like their historic predecessors,
will plant the Maltese flag on the
shores of Brazil.
"OBEY" HELD OBSOLETE
Protestant Episcopal Bishop Ex-1
plains Marriage Service Change.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 6. Edward
L Parsons, bishop coadjutor of the
San Francisco diocese of the Protes
tant Episcopal church and one of the
members of the commission to re
vise the book of common prayer, said
today the reason the word "obey" was
emitted frcm the marriage ceremony
was because it was "antiquated."
"The promise to obey is antiquated
and we have outgrown it," he said.
"The proper basis in marriage is a
mutual basis and not a basis of au
thority by one over the other. The
old idea of the husband ruling his
wife is obsolete and should have no
part in the marriage service."
The report of the commission given
cut in New Ycrk yesterday drops the
word "obey," and eliminates the com
pulsory giving in marriage from the
ceremony. It will be submitted to the
triennial general convention of the
church in Portland, Or., next September.

PHONE CHATS TOO COSTLY
Billie Burke Called to Account by
Wealthy Chicago Woman.
CHICAGO, April 6. The $15 tele
phone chats of Billy Burke from the
fashionable North Shore residence of
the widow of Frank Townley Brown
to Miss Burke's husband, Florenz
Ziegfeld Jr. at New York, almost cost
the actress her temporary home, it
was learned here today.
Miss Burke took the widow's "Gold
Coast" residence March 19 with an
agreement to pay $1150 to occupy it
until April 9 while she played in Chi
cago. Miss' Burke was to bring
Patricia, her daughter, and four maids
and a governess. The $1150 was to go
to Mrs. Brown's newly organized
widows' protective league.
Mrs. Brown said she wouldn't care
so much about Miss Burke playing
hostess to a lot of theatrical folk if
the actress didn't call up her husband
1000 miles away every night and let
the charge go on the Brown telephone
bill.
Miss Burke obtained an injunction
in night court last flight to retain
possession of the residence.
