FULL LEASED WIRE SERVICE Or THIS ASSOCIATED PBESI AND THE UNITED PBESS The Associated press la exclusively entitled to the use for publication Of all news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited Is this paper and aiso local news published herein. "With or without offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes. Byron Leutze's Masterpiece Forced by sharp newspaper criticism, the Metropolitan lUuseum of Art in New York has agreed to take from the oblivion of its basement, where it has hung in obscurity for several decades, the famous picture of Washington Cross ing the Delaware" which was a familiar feature of school and other histories of the past several generations, and re produced in millions of colored chromos, but objects to rev hanging it, and has offered to present it to the state of Washington to adorn the new capitol and in all likelihood the gift will be gratefully accepted. The newspaper criticism protested the concealment during Washington's bicentennial year of the best known painting of the "Father of his Country" except perhaps Stuart's' portrait. The art museum's objection is that the painting is an historical fake and inartistic, that Washing ton never stood up posing in an overloaded skiff smashing floating ice, for it was an impossible feat, that he did not wear dress uniform, that it shows him wearing the sword On the wrong side, while the flag flown wasn't adopted at the time, and numerous other deficiencies. Yet it is no more historically nor artistically inaccurate than most of the Washington biographies depicting him as a goody-goody boy and gentle sissy in high office. It fits in well with the legendary Washington cannnnized by a grateful posterity. The painting is the work of Emanuel Leutze, the Ger-tnan-American artist who was commissioned to paint "West ward the Star of Empire takes it Way" for the capitol at Washington. Among his other well known historical paint ings are "Columbus before the Council at Salamanca", "Cromwell visiting Milton", etc. The original of "Washing ton Crossing the Delaware" hangs in the Kunsthalle at Bre men, the copy in dispute being made by Leutze a year later for American exhibition. Whatever its artistic and historical deficiencies, the painting has life and action and commemorates a crucial crisis in the Revolutionary war. We expect some artistic leaway in such portraiture, for photography was not invent ed at the time. And it was accepted by several generations tf Americana as a triumph in art. At any rate we have no work of latter day artists as inspii tional either in subject or acnievcmeiu. The painting 12& feet by 25, without frame, is ad mirably adapted for the Olympia capital, for it is certainly more artistic than this huge hodge-podge of architecture and art. The gaudy capitol combines the features of Egyp tian tombs, Greek temples, and Byzantine mausoleum mo saics with ponderous Roman effect. Probably no building in the world contains as much waste space, or as many mas aive and needless entrances and stairways, unless it be some of the monuments left by our bonanza kings. Its bizarre furnishings complete the impression of the nouveau riche as becomes a state of lumber barons. There is nothing else American about it and the Washington painting is needed to add an historical and artistic touch of the United States. Federal Relief Despite the president's recommendation to the contrary nd the depleted state of the treasury, one of the senate committees has favorably recommended an appropriation of f375,000,000 for direct federal relief for the unemployed. - If the nation were confronted with a situation where only the empty federal treasury stood between millions of people and starvation, such an appropriation would be jus tifiable, even if we had to mortgage the future still more heavily for the present. But this situation does not exist, for neither individuals nor the local units of government have exhausted their resources. And they have not because, in all parts of the country, the belief that Uncle Sam would come to rescue has prevented public officials and private citizens from putting their own houses in order Take it in Oregon. What, has our own state done to provide either work for the unemployed or relief for the des titute? Nothing beyond issuing a million in highway bonds for costly emergency construction that spells waste of money, thus throwing the whole burden upon one class of taxpayers, and that already the most mulcted, the auto own er. And the amount is entirely inadequate. What has Marion county done? Nothing except to cooperate with the state in spending the motorists' coin. What has the city of Salem done? Absolutely nothing, not a cent expended. And it is the same all over the land. All that has been done is by community chests and chanty organizations financed by meager contributions from about five percent of the people. When the states, the counties, the cities, and private individuals cease to shirk and exhaust their resources, it will be time to call on the federal government to -help out. That time is not yet. It is true it is said that the federal government docs not hesitate to come to the aid of the bankers with the credit corcorporation. But infinitely more people are dependent on the proper working of the private credit system and private initiative than can possibly be looked after Aiy either a fed eral building program or relief doles. It is certainly sound logic to try to reassure and reinvigorate private enterprise, if possible, first. DRAMA STARTS WEEK-END BILL FOR ELSINORE After twelve yean absence from the screen, during which the devot ed her entire attention to her hus band and her three email children, Mae Marsh emerge from retire ment to plsy a prominent part in "Over The Hills." the Fox drama starring Jamei Dunn and Sally EH era which opens at the Warner Bros. Elslnore theater Friday. Mlu Marsh's last screen eppear ance was in D. W. Griffith's "The White Rose," since which time she has been frequency Importuned by various producers to return, especi ally since the advent of taking pic tures. The screen play of "Over The Hill" Is based on Will Carleton's memorable poems and was adapted for the talking pictures by Tom Bar ry and Jules Furthman. In addition to Mi Marsh, James Dunn, and Sally Eilers Us cast includes James Kirk wood, Claire Maynard, Edward Crandatl. OUn Howland. William Pawley and Joan Peers. The produc tion was directed by Henry King. Jack Holt and Richard Cromwell each weighed 300 pounds In the div ing outfits they wore throughout a great part of the time they were engaged in making "Fifty Fathoms Deep," the Columbia drama of deep sea adventure showing Friday and Saturday at the Warner Bros. Cap itol theater. This may seem like a lot of weight for a man to carry around, but it is only clumsy and heavy while the i diver Is above water. As soon as he gets under water the weight becomes more buoyant and the diver Is as unconscious of his equipment as he Is of his ordinary clothes. The diving adventures form the background for an unusual love story one that Involves the virile Jack Holt, hero of many adventure fllmii; the boyish Richard Crom well, who made his screen debut In the artistic success, "Tol'able David," and the new platinum blonde, Lor- etta Bayers, who recently deserted a social career for one in films. The direction was handled by R. William neiu.

He claims he cannot afford marriage. HU in come is a&.uuo a year. He tells every one he Is afraid of women: all they do Is make trouble. Twice a week. In spite ol his fear, be calls on the glrL He takes her out frequently. She adores him. But how to get him Into matri monial line Is the burning problem. She tries the old gag of telling with a sigh now tier girl friends are be ing escorted to the altar. He re sponds: "Any one who Is foolish enough to do that might just as well commit suicide." Breaking down the man's mar riage resistance Is the long (or short) road ahead for "Betty. I'd predict short, in this instance. I base my premise on the outspoken declarations, it's when a man is silent, evasive on the subject that the girl is In for the long pull. When he begins barking aloud like Mr. 27, lie is surely riding for a fall. Men argue with themselves. Out loud. The wise young woman ven tures no retort. Just lets the steam blow off and gets In her very best licks between outbursts. The rule In these relationships, I might say In all romantic relation ships, Is not to take every declara tion as linai. Not to attach too serious import to every statement made. Let actions, be the guide. When a man comes calling twice a wek, takes girl out frequently, has no other girl on the string, well. it is just too bad for him If he thinks he is going to escape the matrimonial net. There is a Justice In the cupid picture. Justice tided and abetted by pure Eve reasoning. Eve reasons that most men are less anxious to be tied In marriage than women are. She reasons that she has to sell the marriage Idea and sen it well. How to go about Once Crippled with Rheumatism Now a lively.

It Is a question whether one without this gift ran be trained to choose clothes tar their lines. Most women feel that they do It when they purchase new coat or frock. It Isn't until they get home and retry their dress that they be gin to doubt their smart Judgment. A demonstration waa made before my eye by this mother "line" art ist of whom I speak, she put on. out of stock, a dress with a white top and brown ' akirt. The aleeves were raglan cut. The belt Una was sharply cut and a sash business was brought around and knotted In a big oow. There was a short box Jacket of brown intended for wear with the dress.
