THE ART EXHIBIT
Congested freight and express con
ditions caused by the war have made
it possible for the art department of
the University to keep fully one-half
of the annual January art exhibit over
time. The department is giving stu
dents the opportunity of seeing these
pictures free of charge.
Students worn out by the incessant
round of work will be rested and re
freshed by a quiet hour among these
masterpieces.
Artists do not paint pictures because
they have to, they paint because they
love the work. If the artist has en
joyed painting his picture others will
enjoy looking at It. There had to be
something in the scene to inspire th3
author and he has woven his interpre
tation into his work so that the ob
server can receive inspiration also.
Besides the cultural advantages one
receives from such an exhibit, there
are more, what many would term prac
tical ones, to be gained. The student
can get a definite idea of what places
which he has never seen are like.
Scenes of Venice, New York, the east,
west, north, south, all are skillfully
portrayed:
For the most part the exhibit !s
thoroughly American. The artists are
all Americans and most of the scenes
are American. The pictures represent a
wide range of subject matter and show
various kinds of technique.
In a study of these masterpieces the
student is enabled to get something of
the author's outlook upon life. Lawton
Parker, in his "La Paresse," which is
valued at $6,000, is evidently interest
ed particularly in color effects both of
the figure and of the draperies. Espe
cially remarkable is the effect of the
light coming through the open window
and the way the flesh is made to re
flect the color. "
Good pictures rank with good liter
ature and good music. The opportun
ity of learning how to appreciate good
pictures is one of the best cultural ad
vantages University life has to offer.
LOBSTER FISHING
(Painting by Jonas Lie)
One of the painting of the an
nual art exhibit.
This picture represents three or four
boats with men, fishing for lobster3.
The boats are on a vast sea, near a
lighthouse. In the background we can
Bee the storm-driven clouds.
I like the picture for wha't these
representations suggest to me. I do
not think that the name "Lobster Fish
ing" is worthy of the picture. It should
have been named in such a way so
that we would get the larger meaning
of the picture. "Lobster Fishing" is
too specific and too common a notion
to suggest any large Idea to our minds.
Hence I paid little attention to the
name of the picture, but I enjoyed
very much what I saw in the picture.
The vastaeHs of the sea, the storm
tossed boats, staying within safe dis
tance of the lighthouse, and the rolling
clouds in the background, all appealed
to me. To me the picture suggests a
portion of the universe and not "Lob
ster Fishing." I think that the pres
ence of the fishermen adds interest to
the picture. They suggest the human
element In vast and powerful environ
ment. I like the colors. The sea is repre
sented by blue-green shades, the light
house is grayish-blue and back of it the
clouds are painted pale green. In con
trast with these lighter colors, are rno
darker colors of the boats and men.
The boats are very dark brown, al
most black, and on the light colored
tea, they are clearly presented to the
eye.
I liked the picture just as soon as I
saw it and before I knew who painted
it. But now since I know It was Jonai
Lie who painted it, I believe the pic
ture means something more to me. For
bow I associate this picture with his
other works, for examplo, his "Bath
ing Pool," which is a very good ex
ample of natural scenory, well-exb
cuted. C T.
WOOL SAVING
Thus far the public has not been
aRked by the government to save on
clothing 88 it has on food. That U
because Herbert Hoover has appealed
directly to the -housewife, while the
commercial economy board has gone
to mai-ufacturers of textiles, who have
agreed to put cotton and shoddy into
their cloth and eliminate yardage in
ready-to-wear garments.
About 10,000 yards a year may be
saved by leaving oft cuffs, pockets,
flaps, belts and superfluous plaits.
Many dressmakers, tailors and fashion
magazine people have pledged support
toward this saving. Many well-known
worsted mills, with reputations for
high standard all-wool fabrics, have
consented to add cotton and reclaimed
wool to their goods. Final co-operation
is now up to the consuming public.
First, shoppers should accept the
new war standards for quality of cloth
and style of garment. Second, they
should shop thoughtfully, so us to re
lease man power, shipping space, and
materials. Third, they should maka
use of the agencies for assisting In
war economy. One of these, open to
women within reach by personal con
ference and to others by mail, is the
housewives' consulting bureau of the
University of Washington home eco
nomics department. Department fac
ulty members may be consulted on the
following topics: Care, repair, clean
ing and remodeling of clothing, dyeing
and removal of stains, purchase and
testing of textiles; convenient kitch
ens, home sanitation; diet in disease,
children's dietaries; large quantity
cooking; conservation recipes. Uni

THE COLLEGE STUDENT
AND THE WAR
By Herbert Hoover, United States
Food Administrator
(From the Patriotic News Service of
the National Committee of Patriotic
Societies, Washington, D. C.)
To the college men of America I
address myself with confidence, a con
fidence born of unforgettable experi
ence. In the relief of Belgium, most of
the actual work of the Commission in
the occupied territory was done by
young American collegians. Each time
a call was made for volunteers many
more than asked for offered their serv
ices. And those that were chosen per
formed their duties, not only effective
ly, but with a spirit of devotion that
made their service beyond praise. They
combined idealism and efficiency. It
is the combination that moves the
world forward.
Today all the young college men of
America face a special responsibility
and duty. At no time in the world's
history has the technically trained
mind been at a higher premium. And
this need for it and demand on it will
continue after the war is over. Hence
the young man in college is faced with
a serious problem. He must ask him
self: Is the immediate need of me by
my country in my present stage of
training greater than this need will be
later, and when I have acquired a
higher training? This is a question
the clear answer to which cannot bo
indicated for all by a single formula,
because the young men in college find
themselves under varying circum
stances. Yet ai) answer in general
terms of some helpfulness may be
made.
To the younger men, the lower class
men, only beginning their professional
training, I say: Keep on with your
college wrok. If the war lasts long
you will be needed more later than
now; and you will be better qualified
to fill the need then. If the war ends
soon, there will still be urgent need
for your help in the necessary great
work of reconstruction and rehabili
tation. The more advanced your train
ing, the more mature your Judgment,
the more valuable you will be. So try
to prjssesB yourself in patience "and
stick to your college work.
To the upper classmen, I would say:
Hold yourself ready to rc DIAJUU . Ill
your country's present need at any
moment. Where you see your way
clear to make your training useful, do
not hesitate to follow the way. But
you, too, should remember that every
additional month or semester of train
ing will make you a more effective
helper to your country In this time of
its emergency, ever growing more crit
ical. So be willing and ready to go
out, but go in no thoughtless hurry,
nor merely to satisfy the natural rest
lessness of the moment.
Finally, to both lower and upper
classmen, and to the great army of
American college and university
graduates, I would say: The country
looks to you for Justification of the
advantages it has given or is now giv
ing you. You are a privileged class.
All special' privilege brings special re
sponsibility and special duty. Yours
is the advantage of the expanded mind
and the uplifted spirit. Your knowl
edge of the conditions and needs of
your country, and your understanding
of the real meaning of patriotism
mould bo beyond those of the many
lenlod your privilege. Therefore, your
response to the call of your country s
need should be quicker, more insistent,
more persistent and moro ready to
adapt Itself to any form of this need
than that of the unprivileged many.
You have already responded nobly to
the call to the colors. But not all of
you can now march to battle; not all
of you should try to, but all who
should not or cannot, and all who are
sticking to their work of making them
tclves fitter for their future service
tan still serve, and serve now. There
is very much that you can do right
now.
Our Food Supply
I would call your attention to Just
one of the many ways in which you
can help, and help importantly. It Is
the way to insuring the absolutely
necessary food supply to ourselves,
and to our allies.
Especially must the matter of the
food supply of our allies be stressed.
The vital world problem of food Is not
generally understood. The popular
view Is too self-centered, too selfish
to use an ugly word. It does not look
across the sea. The back-wash of
Europe's misery does not carry to our
shores. We do not know, and hence
cannot feel, the pangs of hunger, and
nain of hunger weakness that are
everywhere in Europe. They are pains
felt by our allies as well as by our
foes. We must make this known to
nil mir neonle. that all our people may
understand the great and indispensa
ble and immediate role they must play
in this all-important part of the war
situation. You who can readily un
derstand must help.
You can impress on the people
around you, and wherever you go, tha
fact that the critical phase of the
world food problem is now, not the
Question of high or low prices, but the
question of producing and saving and
sending enough food to our allies to
keep them alive and strong and stead
fast in war. The critical question now
in this war is the question of the
actual physical strength of the fight
ing nations.
You can understand it, and you can
explain it. You an help us let the
Deonle of this country know that our
allies depend absolutely on us to main
tain their food supply. They, them
selves, simpjy caniiot do it. If it is
not done for them by us the end of the
war is near, and it is a bad end, an
inconceivably bad end. From every
American college man the country ex
pects the truest devotion, the truest
patriotism and the highest service.
And it will get it. You will give it.

make answer but successively the
prosecutors arose and argued their
cause.
Johnson, Carter and James ve
hemently assaulted the crouching su
perior and bo forceful were their
speeches that it would seem the as
sailed would at once be reeled from
his throne.
Some Sympathizers
But over in yonder corner there sat
two who were capable of seeing
through the haze of conditions sur
rounding this assault a possible ma
licious design. With words express
ing hearfelt sympathy for the inno
cent the feminine voice pleaded: "It
can happen to the best of us. This
was his first fall and he still has seven
chances for redemption." Then the
veteran Boggs asserted that in the
name of Justice the man against whom
such charges were brought ought cer
tainly to be allowed a word In his own
defense.
- The president took the platform and
entered with a whirl upon the defense.
There was one answer to all this dis
turbance. One word would summarize
the whole incentive of the charge
but he used more Fraud, Politics,
verily, Dirty Politics. His opponents
had organized their forces with the
malicious desgin of taking from an
honorable man by dishonorable means
the result of his years of toil. He
said more, but with out effect except
upon his two earnest supporters.
The vote was cast. Some smiles
mingled with a few glances indicating
much mental anguish. Wallie E.
Spear was impeached. A motion for
an election of president to fill the va
cancy was seconded and further elec
tions followed. Some campaigning
was seen to go on about the room.
Obviously there was a political pull.
Result Al Spear elected to the posi
tion. All this because we have such
strict rules in Evidence.

for the entertainment of the soldiers
there. The Funston game was held
for the same purpose, and about $152
was turned in on the fund at that
camp. The girls of the Women's

refreshments at the games, and the
money gained in this way will go into
the association itself, to help in Us
