Vice President
Says His Duties
are Exacting
Climbing out "Lower Five" Assistant
Executive Meets Friends in a
Genial Manner.
Topeka, Kas. Home for a rest
for the first time since his inaugur
ation, Vice President Charles Curtis
Friday visited with his neighbors in
the same genial way that won him
"warm friendships during his service
of nearly a quarter of a century as
United States senator from Kansas.
At an informal meeting with news
paper men in the red brick house he
"shares here with his sister, Mrs.
Rome Colvin, and her husband, Mr.
Curtis reviewed his experiences as
presiding officer of the senate and
Baid his duties as vice president gave
him plenty to do, despite the belief
in some quarters that the office is
not an exacting one.
Traveling from the ea6t as an or
dinary citizen, the vice president oc
cupied a lower berth in a sleeping
car. He was surprise that this should
occasion comment.
"Why shouldn't the vice president
ride in lower five?" he asked. "He
is nothing but the people's servant.
Why shouldn't he ride with the peo
ple?" Finds Liquor Disappearing.
Mr. Curtis said there Is an errone
cut impression abroad as to the du
ties of a vice president. "His duties
are just what he wants to make
them," he continued. "He may be
idle if he chooses or he may be a
public servant. I try to be a serv
ant. Many friends in Kansas, he said,
felt he still was their senator and
called upon him for various favors.
"So I have the correspondence of a
Eenator plus the correspondence of a
vice president," he added.
Referring briefly to the "social
war" which centered about his sis
ter and official hostess, Mrs. Edward
Gann. Mr. Curtis said there no long
er was any issue, as the matter had
been settled "long ago."
As official "diner out" for the ad
ministration, Vice President Curtis
said he had found a tendency in sev
eral hosts and hostesses in Wash
ington to show a spirit of observ
ance of the prohibitory liquor laws
by dispensing with the serving of

Member of Field Museum,
Chicago, Works 35 Feet
Under Water
Chicago With strangely colorful
fish swimming to within a few inches
of him, stopping to pose, and then
swimming away, Leon L. Pray, staff
artist of the Field Museum of Na
tural Histtory, tells how he sat calm
ly on the floor of the ocean off the
Bahamas and painted pictures which
are to form the basis for the muse
um's newest piscatorial exhibit.
Down to the floor of the sea
through a dark tube Mr. Pray had
gone. Carefully, slowly, as if upon
an unstable ladder, he had descended.
Suddenly he emerged into globe of
light. He had reached his underseas
studia, 35 feet below the surface of
the waters that cover the coral reefs
of the Bahamas.
There, amid a scene, which he de
scribes as a marine fairyland. Mr.
Pray made 60 crayon sketches of rare
fish and eight oil paintings of the
seascope. Soon these will Ik? used
by the museum as the basis for
elaborate groups in its Hall of
Fishes, showing the variously hued
marine life among the corals.
Big Lens in Iron Ball
The deep-sea studio is the inven
tion of J. E. Williamson, leader of
the Field Museum-Williamson Sub
marine Expedition to the Bahamas.
It is an iron hall with a big lens,
thick enough to hold up under the
powerful water pressure. A flexible
tube connects it with a barge above.
The globular apartment is large
enough to allow two artists to work
at the same time and is constructed
so that an abundance of fresh sea
air is in constant circulation.

surface or, in his opinion, even satis
factorily photographed, before Mr.
Williamson's invention. Three, four
hours passed, and he continued to
sketch, quite forgetting that up above
in the world of men, lunch nour had
come- and gone.
"It was so still, so peaceful." he
said. "There was no noise except the
murmur of conches. Yet the slightest
sound could penetrate the iron globe
with the utmost ease. The water was
as invisible as air. As we locked
through the window of the chamber
we could watch thousands of living
things maving about in beautiful
rhythms, but we could see i.o water.

"For a distance of 50 or 60 feet
one could see clearly. Objects beyond
that space seemed to be at a great
distance, in a pearly, blue-gray
haze."
The artist had but little difficulty
in getting the fish to "model" for
him. By throwing out a little bait,
the fish would come close to the
window. In fact, so clear was the
glass that some of them: tried to
