BROWN COUNTY, Ind, Aug. 24—Since Brown County was made famous by the artists, I must tell you something about the artists here. In my traipsing about the country, I have visited most of the art “colonies.” And I must say that the one here seems to me the hardest-working, the least-play-ing, the most sincere of any I have ever visited. You don’t see artists trailing around town in arty clothes. They don’t have a favorite bar where they congregate to discuss their genius in mystic tongues. They simply work hard, and live like normal people, and hope to Heaven somebody buys their stuff. And apparently all of them are self-supporting through their art—which speaks for itself. Fifteen artists live here as permanent residents. They have been here a long time. They are as firm a part of the community as the postmaster or the County Clerk. Another 15 are active members of the Art Association which operates the local gallery. They come for long visits and paint, although actually living elsewhere. In addition to these, there probably are 30 more who come for shorter visits, or whose painting is an avocation, or who just like to dabble. Yes, in many summers, there are at least 60 artists painting in Brown County. '

The Art Gallery

They have rented a huge store building on Nashville’s main street, and remodeled it into an art gallery. It is open from late spring until early fall. The exhibitions are changed twice a year. In addition, gach artist has a home studio, where visitors are welcome. Adolph R. Shulz is the dean of the Brown County Art Colony, since the death of the famous Theodore C. Steele. Mr. Shulz first visited here in 1200, and has actually lived here since 1907. He came from Wisconsin, and left there because, with the growth of dairying, the cows “ate up all the scenery.” When he first came here, he had to come by horse

Our Town

SOMETHING ELSE that might reward study is the “Trilby” craze, a phenomenon of the Nineties that contributed as much as anything to the excitement of my formative years. “Trilby,” in case you youngsters never heard, is a novel by George Du Maurier, an English artist and caricaturist who had achieved considerable fame by way of his pictures in Punch. It is a story of artist life in the Latin Quarter of Paris. Trilby, the heroine, is a laundress and artists’ model and her relations with three artists, Taffy, the Laird and Little Billee form the theme of the story. All of which sounds pretty tame in the light of modem literature. The punch was contributed by Svengali, a black-bearded greasy character who had some evil power over Trilby—to such a degree, indeed, that vou held your breath every time he turned up. The villain was capable of anything It was no book to read at night. As a matter of fact, most mothers of Indianapolis forbade their daughters to read it at all, even in the daytime. Chances are, though, that every 60-year-old woman living in Indianapolis today read the book when she was a young lady.

= = ” First Appeared as Serial

“Trilby” first appeared in Harper's Magazine in serial installments sometime around 1895. The interminable wait from one month to the next was almost unbearable. When the story appeared in book form, it was a different version. I can explain that, too. The magazine version had a veiled but transparent description of James McNeill Whistler. It made Jimmy so mad that he started a libel suit against the publishers, with the result that Harpers deleted everything about Mr. Whistler when the story appeared in book form. After the book was published, “Trilby” was dramatized. Paul Potter produced it in America and Sir Herber! Tree in London. Wilton Lackaye, I remem-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24—A weakness of Wendell Willkie as the Republican Presidential candidate is that he carries few of his fellow party men In Congress with him. He is a candidate standing on 2 personal platform which is very much at odds with the record of the Republican Party as developed by the Republicans in Congress. Around this point, rather than smearing

In his early days, he would take walking trips through the hills for hundreds of miles, lasting for weeks. He is an amateur geologist, and knows the structure, and why, of this whole country. His art is successful. He has a lovely log cabin at the end of a lane. A few yards away is his separate studio building. His wife is Alberta Shulz, who is a painter and sculptress. Often they go to Florida in winter. Close to Mr. Shulz in tenure is Will Vawter, probably the most loved by the townspeople of all the artists. He is a big man, heavy, with a large head made even larger by an immense thatch of white hair. He and Shulz both look like artists—and yet Will Vawter also looks just like somebody's nice grandpa in some small town like Nashville. He, too, has been here more than 30 years. too, is financially successful. He, too, goes South in winter. And he lives with Mrs. Vawter on that same lane with the Shulzes. = = =

He says somebody comes along to! look at it, and if that scene happens to strike some! memory, or cherished little scene, or a spot of ap-| preciative beauty in whoever is looking at it, then he| likes the picture, and if he's able, he buys it.

She said she couldn't help it. Every- | thing she did. she explained, was under the direction of an evil power like that of Svengali. The power directed her not cnly to steal, but to hand over the stolen goods to her master, a hypnotist. The lawyers around here got terribly worked up about the case, I| remember, and threatened to get the next Legislature to do something about it.

By 1955, practically all Hoosiers will be carrying drivers licenses obtained through tests.

By Earl Richert HE day is coming when every single driver in Indiana will have a driver's license obtained only through a rigid driver's test. How far away is it? Right now, one out four has such a license. Five years from now, the chances are that two out of every five drivers will have passed tests. Ten years from now, it probably will figure out three out of every five, Fifteen vears from now, it will be four out of five. Twenty years from now the person without such a license will be a rarity, one of those who dates “way back when.” This result, the goal of the National Safety Council and every safety organization, will be brought about by Old Man Time himself operating with the aid of a law passed by the 1937 Legislature. The situation is this: In 1937, the Legislature decided to do something about the traffic situation which was taking hundreds of lives in the state annually. It was decided that it would be a good thing to compel drivers to

of every

| take tests to prove they were able

to operate an automobile competently. The old system under which anyone, except those very

| badly crippled, could get a license

by simply “plunking” 50 cents on the counter obviously wasn't improving the traffic problem. = = = UT there were some 1,000,000 drivers who had licenses under the old “blanket” system. It would take a huge staff of examiners to give tests to these

| drivers and besides many of them

had been operating automobiles without accidents for many years, thus proving themselves competent drivers. So the Legislature decided to start fresh. It passed a law which took effect on Jan. 1, 1938. Under this law every new driver and every person moving into Indiana who wants to drive must pass a rigid driving test to obtain a driver's license. Sixteen is the minimum age for taking the test.

When you turn right, look right.

It takes a lot of skill to be a safe driver, Judge Roberts C. Hill (right) tells Presley Martin, 16, Boonville, an applicant for a driver's license.

Thus, with all the new drivers being forced to take tests the legislators could foresee the time when every driver in the state will have passed an examination. Death, they knew, would gradually remove the drivers who obtained their licenses under the old system. Thus, strange as it seems, death is being used to bring about a result which safety officials believe will cause a reduction in the number of traffic deaths. It's working out rapidly, too.

zn n = URING the two and one-half years since the law went into effect 325.000 persons have taken and passed the tests—one-fourth

of the 1350000 drivers now operating in the state. Some state officials predict that by the end of 10 years nearly all drivers will have passed tests, but more conservative ones like Roberts C. Hill, chief hearing judge of the Motor Vehicle License Bureau, say it will be 15 years or more. There is no way to tell now if those who passed tests are having fewer accidents than those who did not. No such a record is being kept. But Motor Vehicle License Bureau officials have one set of figures which they believe shows the benefit of the driving tests. In the six months prior to Jan.

1, 1938, there were 15.500 accidents reported in the state, with 19.5 per cent of them being committed by persons between the ages of 16 and 21. In the same six-month period of 1938 after the law went into effect requiring examinations of all beginning drivers, thus mainly affecting the age group between 16 and 21, there were 17,372 accidents, but only 16.8 per cent were committed by the 16-21 age group £3 EJ o

portunity to learn through the various points brought out in the tests the essentials needed to become a better driver.” The tests themselves are given throughout the state by 22 examiners, all of whom have diplomas issued by the National Safety Council. The tests are not easy. And simply showing up and taking the examination doesn’t mean that the applicant will pass. During the last 12 months, some 11,000 persons who took the examinations were turned down because they couldn't pass the test or because of serious physical defects. An applicant who failed a test can keep on trying until he passes. The first portion of the exami=nation tests the applicant's general knowledge of the rules governing automobile drivers and pedestrians. For example the driver is asked to pick out the right answer to this question, “you are driving in the city and hear the siren of a fire engine approaching from the rear, should you: (1) speed up and keep ahead of the fire engine: (2) slow down for fire engine to pass; (3) pull to the curb and stop until fire engine passes; (4) go on at same speed letting fire engine pass on left, and (5) pull to left side of street letting fire engine pass on right.” ” n ” HE second portion of the test involves the actual operation of an automobile under the direction of an examiner. This is the more difficult of the two.

The driver has to demonstrate that he knows he should make a wide turn on an intersection just as if a policeman were there, that he can back an automobile into a parking space and that he not only looks in his rear vision mirror but to the crub at his right as well when backing. These are only a few of the driving practices on which he is tested. It may seem like a lot of trouble but it all goes to make a safe driver. “Do you want to know who is a safe driver?” Judge Hill asks. “He is the fellow who can take advantage of the speed built into the car of today and made possible by the roads of today— without ever having an accident or even coming close to one.”

My Day

HYDE PARK, Fridayv—I spent three hours this afternoon at the Girl Scout Camp in Westchester County, New York. Since they were unable to assemble girls from all over the world, as they usually do, they assembled girls from most of the countries in this hemisphere. The most 2 striking thing was the sense of : complete understanding and friendliness which existed between the girls from the United States, who were hostesses, and the girls from other countries, who were guests but who told me: “It is just home.” At supper I sat at a different place with each course and § thereby managed to be with al- ¢ most all the delegates from dif- : : ferent lands. The average age is about 17. Most of them spoke English except a young girl from Guatemala, and she had already picked up a few words. I was amused to have the girls from Brazil tell me that the movies helped perfect their English, for the schools give them two years of English and take the girls once a week to the American movies. There was a charming flag ceremony and singing, varied by the Brazilian girl playing her guitar while all sang to her accompanimeni
