Art and the Revolution
SOME months ago there was something of a controversy
over modern fiction. Some novels of current issue were
condemned because they preached overthrow of existing in
. titutions ; while some critics maintained that a novel as a
form of literature should cling to standard art rather than
.become a political tract. Nothing was settled of course, but
- along came Anthony Adverse, a romantic novel with dashes
, of Robert Louis Stevenson, Joseph Conrad and Trackeray;
-and the critics forgot to look for the "thin, red line" of rev
" ohition.
At present the battlefront has shifted to painting. The
destruction of the Diego Rivera mural of Lenin in the great
building at Rockefeller center provoked a controversy which
is not yet ended. Rivera, a Mexican communist, used the vast
ceiling of the room as a signboard for his political theories.
The Rockefellers whose fortune was founded in the age of
capitalism discharged Rivera although they paid him the
full $20,000 of the contract. Later the offensive mural was
chiseled away. The communist-artists lamented loudly when
the figure of Lenin was chipped away and represented art
as dying of a bleeding heart.
- Recently the conflict was renewed when Rockefeller cen
ter was used for an art exhibit. Charging the Rockefeller
group with censorship of the pictures to be displayed a
group headed by John Sloan refused to show in the exhibi
tion, and have selected another place for display. The stand
pat art group denied the charge and pointed to some paint
ings which they claimed proved the show was not censored,
and pointed to one painting of Lenin in the array of pic
tures and another "The Mask of Fascism" as proof of the
liberal policy of the exhibit.
, The strife has leaped the continent however and in Se
attle oldtime members of the conservative Pilgrim Congrega
tional church are enraged because the pastor allowed young
firebrands to use the walls of one of the rooms in the church
as a signboard for radical propaganda. Various panels with
somewhat incendiary themes created a stir which went out
side the limits of just a church fuss.
So it goes, art grabs a banner and gets in the political
parade. The probability is however that much of the product
of artists who devote their talents to a thesis will have poor
chance of survival. Rarely is the propagandist an artist. He
is so intense, so one-sided, so devoted to his evangelism that
he cannot build his work to

their feelings in the medium most natural to them; but as a
rule the book or the painting which is merely a tract is only
of temporary vitality. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was such a tract;
and had shown amazing powers of survival Most such works
perish with their generation.
Parked Trucks
A truck parked on a highway was the indirect cause of a
.shocking accident in Ohio where six were killed and 15
hurt. A passenger bus turned to the left to avoid the parked
truck and crashed head-on into another truck headed in the
opposite direction. A few months ago a boyhood friend of this
writer's lost his life in a traffic accident in Iowa, caused
when his car came suddenly upon parked trucks. About the
same time, another friend, Joe Stoddard, long a publisher
of papers in Washington, met a similar fate in about the
same way. Now comes the Ohio crash.
Truck drivers should be ordered with every possible de
gree of impressiveness not to park on paved highways, par
ticularly at night. Lighter and swifter motor cars rushing
through the night liave scant chance if they come suddenly
' on a big truck sprawled on the road. Yet night is the favorite
time for truck traffic because other traffic is light then.
Night cruises of state police would be efficacious in tagging
truckdrivers who fail to clear the road when they want to
sleep or change a tire.

Health
I By Royal S. Copeland, M.D.
WITHIN THE past few years, In
fant care has been Greatly simplified.
The young mother ia elided by text
books, periodicals and magazines, all
published to aid
her in solving:
her many prob
lems. Despite
these many mod
ern advantages,
most young
mothers confess
anxiety and even
fear when bath
ing the young in
fant. I am giad to
say- that it isn't
long until the
mother becomes
expert. This daily
task becomes one
of her Joys. To
Dr. Copeland
those who are still hesitant and feel
Incompetent to undertake this re
sponsibility, I would suggest the fol
lowing simple rules:
Tlas Tims to Bathe the Baby
Baby should be bathed every day.
Arrange the time so that It win not
conflict with other duties. The best
time is usually in the morning, before
the mid-morning feeding and prefer
ably after the first elimination. Never
bathe the child unUl at least an hour
has elapsed sine the last feeding.
Some mothers prefer giving the bath
at nigb't just before bedtime.
1 am often asked what the tem
perature of the bath should be. The
water should be Just a Uttle above the
temperature of" the body. This Is
approximately 100 degrees F. I
strongly recommend the use of a
bath thermometer to determine ac
curately the temperature of the
water. It is an Inexpensive thing
and will eliminate guessing and fear
as to whether the water Is too cold
or too hot
Before placing the baby in the
bath, make sure the room is com
fortably warm, the windows closed
and that there are no drafts from
open doors. Do not havs the room
too hot, because it may cause the
baby to perspire, then get chilled and
so catch cold. Have the tub in a
comfortable position and close to
towel, soap, clothes and other neces
sary items. Never leave baby alone
In the tub, not even for a minute. If
nothing worse happens the child may
become frightened and ever after
tear the daily bath.
Gemtle Massage Is Good
Another mistake tbe young mother
may make Is to allow soap to get
Into the baby's eyes. The child cries,
kicks, and Its anger' terrifies the
young mother. Support the baby
with tbe left arm and use your right
hand for washing purposes.' Avoid
soap on the- face and when you wash
tbe scalp make sure soap doea not
run down to the eyes.
When baby ts taken from the tub.
it should be placed on a dry towel
and slowly but carefully dried. Make
sure tbe entire body is dried. This
wiU prevent chafing. Powder may be
used, but avoid an excessive amount.
Above all. keep powder awsy from
baby's reach.
A good plan Is to gently massage
the baby before completing the
dressing. This is best accomplished
by gently rolling the flesh with the
palm of the hand. GenUe massage
stimulates the circulation and hard
ena the skin.
Answers to Health Queries

Fort Hall is on Snake river, in

which is Pocatello, the largest
city in that section. Fort Hall
is a postoffice now, and Fort Hall

Capt. Mathaniel J. Wyeth had
made that trip two years before,
in 1832, but established no fort
in that section that year. His en
terprise of 1832 suffered many
disappointments, and he returned
overland to . Boston in 1833 and
organised his concern with new
capital and enthusiasm.
Jason Lee, having been desig
nated as the man to answer the
Macedonian call of the Indians of
the west, called on Wyeth at Bos
ton in the winter of 1833-4, and
arranged to ship his goods on
Wyeth's vessel, the May Dacre.
and to join his overland party.
April 28, 1834, the Wyeth par
ty was on its way west from In
dependence. Mo., with the Lee
company ot five men a part of
the cavalcade.
S
The cavalcade was accompa
nied by a party of trappers under
Milton Sublette. So there were
three parties until the 'arrival at
the site of Fort Hall, where there
were tour, including that of Capt.
Tom McKay ot the Hudson's Bay
compny, who had been trapping

S
The diaries of Lee and Wyeth
differ somewhat as to the services
at the site of Fort Hall, July
27 and 28, as the reader has no
doubt noted. -
Wyeth gave the name, Kans
eau, of the French-Canadian trap
per in McKay's company who was
killed in the horse race. Lee did
not give his name, but described
the circumstances.
Wyeth said there were three fu
nerals, "he at least was well bur
ied," and that "his comrades
erected a decent tomb for him."
S
Lee said he was buried without
a coffin, "having; no means ot
making one," and there was evi
dently no tomb, excepting a bole
in the ground. (The writer be
lieves the residents at Fort Hall
claim to know the site of the
grave, and have marked it.)
S
There could not have been
much of a "Catholic form" fu
neral, for no priests came until
four years later. But Lee men
tioned that his comrades put a
cross on the breast of the body,
and erected a cross over his
grave.
The Indian "form" funeral
mentioned by Wyeth was perhaps
the usual wailing, and the red
skins may have deposited some of
the dead man's belongings in the
grave with his body, to be conven
ient in the happy hunting grounds,
according to their beliefs; but Lee
did not mention these things, and
would likely have noted them
had this been done.
W
The 90 th Psalm, read by Lee,
was appropriate. What part of
the 16th chapter of Corinthians
he .read, one may judge for him
self. It was First Corinthians.
Second Corinthians has only 13
chapters. The 15th chapter of
First Corinthians is a very long
one; 58 verses. In that letter
to tho church at Corinth, St. Paul
gave his whole argument con
cerning the resurrection of the
dead, or at least a resume ot his
whole argument and belief, show
ing plainly that he was con
vinced that when the body of a
person is disposed of, "It is sown
a natural body; it is raised a spir
itual body; there is a natural
body, and there is a spiritual
body," as he summed it all up in
the 44th verse.
"O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory?"
repeated billions of billions ot
times since, are in that chapter.
V
Every book mentioning It, so
far as the writer has observed,
gives First Corinthians 10:21 as
the text of Jason Lee's short ser
mon on July 27 at the site of
Fort Hall the first Protestant
sermon preached in all the terri
tory fronting west on the Pacific
ocean. The person who first cop
ied Lee's diary made it 10:21.
Lee meant 10:31, and no doubt
wrote u that way, or intended to
write jt that way. It is rather
strange that some writer has not
discovered, the mistake. The read
ing of the verse is, "Whether
therefore ye eat or drink, or what
soever ye do. do all to the glory
of God." -
U .
That was an appropriate text
tor the first Christian sermon
west of the Rockies 'and north of
the Spanish line, up to the lower
border of Alaska. It Is a text
of Unselfishness, and all embrac

SYNOPSIS
Aboard the S.S. "Navarre,"
bound for New York, Michael Lan
yard, reformed "Lone Wolf" and
underworld celebrity, is reunited
with his son whom he thought
dead. The boy, "Maurice Parry,"
has followed in the "Lone Wolfs"
footsteps, but Lanyard hopes his
son's interest in Fenno Croxier,
lovely daughter of the wealthy
Mrs. Fay Croxier; will prove a
good influence. Maurice steals
Mrs. Crozier's Habsburg emeralds.
Lanyard retrieves them for Fay.
Detective Crane warns Lanyard to
watch out for the vengeance of
"Jack Knife" Anderson and "Eng
lish Archie," two gunmen whom
Lanyard exposed for cheating
Maurice at cards. Shortly after
wards, the gangsters steal Mrs.
Croxiers emeralds and plant them
in Lanyard's cabin. Maurice saves
his father bv substituting imita
tions and secretly placing. the em
eralds in the pursers care tor ray.
Notwithstanding Lanyard's inno
cence. Detective Plon is auspicious
of him. Later, when one of "Jack
Knife's" accomplices tries to in
timidate Lanyard into stealing the
emeralds and splitting fifty-fifty
with the gang, Maurice appears on
the scene, masked. He knocks the
gangster unconscious, pi anting a
string of pearls stolen from the no
torious gold-digger, Tess Boyce,
in the thug's pocket. Tess. in grati
tude to Maurice for catching the
thief, gives a dinner in his honor.
Lanyard disapproves of the society
of Tess Boyce for his son. but
Fenno asks him to leave Maurice
to her. Discussing the Boyce rob
bery, Plon informs Lanyard that
the prisoner swore Lanyard and
Maurice planted the necklace on
him. M. fsquith, Tess' companion,
compliments her on her progress
with Maurice and Lanyard, adding
that "they will have them where
they want them." Crane is suspi
cious of Tess' interest in Maurice.
He surmises the truth about the
Boyce robbery. Crane overhears
Tess tell Maurice that Lanyard's
reform was just elocution. The
detective warns Lanyard to keep
his son away from her. Fearing an
other attempt will be made to steal
the emeralds, Lanyard advises Fay
to arrange for their protection
when the boat docks.
CHAPTER XXIII.
"Bnt I suDDosed of course!
that the Boyce burglar was the
same one who had robbed me, and
once he was arrested, that was the
end of that."
"He was in all likelihood a simple
caf s-naw for the brains that
planned the business. You must un
derstand, madame, criminals of his
class are seldom more than instru
ments dome the biddine of intern
gences too clever ever to show their
own hands."
"You do alarm me," Fay Croxier
ruefully confessed. "What do you
advise?"
"Instruct M. Croxier by wireless
to have some safe-deposit company
meet the Navarre with an armored
car, take charge of the emeralds
and store them ra its vaults till you
wish to wear them."
"What a head!" Fay Croxier
cried, beaming. "What a master
crime lost when the Lone Wolf re
tired on his honors!"
"Then you will "
"I bet von mv life."
"I am most happy to believe it."
With this Lanyard rose: Fenno,
all as-low. if only from walking;.
and somewhat prettier than he had
ever seen her, was approaching
with Maurice who, it wasnt pos
sible to overlook, likewise wore a
deeolv contented expression.
"S there you are!" Fay Croxier
snapped. "I should think you'd be

Lanyard on his part perceived.
at the outset of that afternoon at

ness to substitute for Maurice. Not
only was he srlad to think what.

his skill against cardsmen worthy
of his metal.
Of the four. Tess Boyce was the
poorest player, although by no
means to be despised, whether as
partner or antagonist, Isquith, pre
serving his patrician pose whether
winnmg- or losing, played wita a
cool-headed precision rarely met
with outside the ranks of exoerts:
in all the sitting Lanyard failed to
see bun rumble once or make a tan-
miser's heartless, stony stare, the
piteous wail of want, the livfd
lips of lies, the cruel eyes o f
scorn.
"I see a race without disease
of flesh or brain shapely and
fair the married harmony of
form and function, and, as I look,
life lengthens, joy deepens, love
canopies the earth; and over all.
in the great dome, shines the
eternal star of human hope."

him, for the extra quarter, doubled
their stakes at the Rajah's sugges

jumped to two dollars a point. Like

she was dealing the first round: "a

"Not this baby!" Tess shook her

haven't got the wealth of the Indies
to back me. Tell you what I will do,
though." She dealt the last card,
