That there Is every possibility that the local telephone controversy, which has been In progress a year, will be adjusted satisfactory Is learned from an authoritative ad official jgourcc. Announcement of the adjustment of differences is expected at any moment, according to those in apposition to know. t A ; year agoXthe Eaton . Telephone company .raised, its' rental rates, previous to which-announcement t the increase was mad. " The announcement resulted in organization of company patron In trwrorai district to- oppose the advance. The Increased rate was placed in effect on scheduled time and the organization of patrons dis carded telephones by the hundreds. On rural lines the rate Increase was 25 cents a month.- Hundreds of these phones still ' remain, out. it Is said. Effort was-'.jr&de on numerous occasions to bring, about ..an adjustment, but without auccess. ".. : It Is understood the telephone company, has agTeed to moet certain terms that: will bring about "the expected agreement These-terms were formulated in a series of meetings lately of committees from the chamber of commera, from an organization known, as the Citizens' Telephone company, and representatives - of the Eaton Tele phone company, It is said. The Cltl zens company was incorporated re cently by local men presumably to negotiate purchase of the local telephone plans. It was capitalized at $50,000, but it is said it will not function, since adjustment of differences are said to seem certain. Advise Using Phones It is said the Citizen's company, which presumably represents the rural organization opposing the Eaton company, will recommend that the organization members reinstate their phones. It Is admitted, however, the members are in no wise bound to accept any agreement. It Is understood the expected adjustment is to be brought abont by the telephone company agreeing to install the harmonic ringing system In the rural districts at $1.75 a month, which price is approximately that of the advance of a year ago. In addition, it is said, the company will install phones free of charge, providing the state public utilities . commission, will give its approval. - ;v That the basis of .settlement la fair to all concerned is understood to be

THE

Batik Making Becoming an Art By FREDERIC J. HASK1N

WASHINGTON, April 19. That batik will soon be accepted as an art i this country is prophesied by J. P. Neligh, batik maker of this city. Most of us have seen vivid samples of batik, which we were told were made by drawing a design on material with wax and dipping the piece in dye to color the part unprotected by wax. We understood that- his was big. Javanese art and that a taste for it should be cultivated. Now, it seems, the most startling outbursts of color are not necessarily the most admirable. In fact they represent an early phase of American batik makers attempts at dyeing in the Javanese fashion. - Until recently, Mr. Neligh says, the, fate of batik In this country has hung in the balance. Artists and connoisseurs waited to see If flashy, futuristic designs, displayed as typically Javanese batik, would be replaced by moro subtle work. There was danger, too, of batik becoming a porch fad, like basketry and bead chains. If this fate was to befall, and batik were to be made by persons with no under standing of technique, color, or de Mgn, tne process would te perma nently relegated to the piano of fancy work. It would have its day and re tire. Luckily for batik and its defenders, Its production has proved a little too difficult and too exacting to attract many faddists. Luckily, too, craftsmen who are turning out smocks. scarfs, and lampshades in hashed rainbow effects eventually began to absorb Javanese traditions, which called for softer colors and clean cut lines. The success of our most skilled batikerJa indicated by the fact that they ofte nreceive orders for their work abroad. - . Crackle Effects Passing. ' A recent exhibition of batik dresses made by a New York artist was a surprise even to visitors who talked learnedly of cackle effects and admired the right points in the design. The thing that surprised them was that these dresses were suitable for wear on the street. In most cases, only the pleeves were decorated with the dyd designs, and the clear patterns In beautiful color combinations were no more conspicuous than trimmings of delicately figured printed silks would havo been. This, it was agreed, was a standard for American batik. In this exhibition there was very little of the popular crackle effect, produced by letting the wax on a de sign crack so that the colors run through in thin veins. Crackle has that many people regard it as a sure test of real batik. The Javanese, however, regard cracking of. the wax as a flaw, because it may occur wit'v out the artist's wish if the cloth ia not handled with care to prevent the wax from breaking. Javanese dyers use th effect only occasionaUy when the design -is In colors that do not harmonize readily, and so used It 13 undoubtedly artistic. For centuries, Javanese natives have been' decorating their clothing with painstaking care, using this meth od of wax dyeing. The method has been often described. The most im portant processes are the waxing of the design and the dipping. Ordinarily, a little pipe like tool, called a tjanting, is used for waxing. The bowl of the tjanting is filled with melted wax and the instrument is guided over the material so that from a tiny spout in the bowl, the wax. is poured out in the lines or figures of the pattern. Javanese Process Reversed The Javanese dip their materials in the darker color first, and remove a color where it is not wanted by hot water or ammonia. Western batikers reverse the process, making it Bim pier. If white, yellow, and green are the colors to be used, wax is first poured over the part of the material which is to be left wlute. The piece Is then dipped in yellow dye. Then that part of the design which is to remain yellow is covered with wax and the

goods Is dipped In blue dye to produce green. The wax is removed by gasoline. The processes of batiklng have to the Javanese all the dignity of an art. They resent imitations and do not look with favor on dyed patterns produced by speed making contrivances. Even though similar patterns are used over and over, the designers put something of their own individuality into them. - Some of the old designs are sacred to certain ranks and are made especial ly for them. Hunting scenes, lor instance, are reserved for royalty. Such pieces, done by the best batik makers in Java, are not simple strips of cloth with a conventionalized stag and hound repeated at strict Intervals. A batik of this sort often conteins one large picture and the effect Is like that of a tapestry. The Javanese take batik garments as a matter of course. The work, is much cheaper there than here, and the native clothing is simple in cut Straight pieces -of cloth in squares and etrlps" of fixed dimensions are the head dresses, skirts, and scarfs of a Javanese wardrobe. The idea of insist dyeing by use of wax is very old. The Javanese are said to have learned the method from India in the time of Guatama Buddha. 25 centuries ago. It quickly became popular in Java, and today Java rather than India, is the place associated with the art. In old, forsaken temples, now hidden in the Jungle of the interior of the island, carved idols may be seen portrayed in batik garments, and the patterns are very like those in vogue In Java today. Presumably, the art was evolved in India. Yet on this side of the world, samples of batik In typical Javanese designs have been found. Science is at loss to explain how the design and processes could have been carried across the ocean In cockleshell native i craft. i The batiks of Java attracted Dutch traders several centuries ago, and they brought pieces back to Holland. There was not much interest shown in this eastern product, at first but eventually Holland began to copy the process. Of late years, the Dutch government has encouraged Its, people to experi ment with it. A government Institute was established at Harlem for displays of batik and as a sourse of information and encouragement for batik makers. The history of batik In thi3 country dates back at least to the Chicago exposition. Mr. Neligh remembers a display of this art by some Javanese at that time. As in Holland, interest, In the novelty spread slowly. Theatres saw possibilities for striking effects in the broad use of the dyed designs, and batik has been widely used for curtains and costumes. In this country we lack centuries of tradition for a high standard in batik. But our artists have some advantage in greater color resources, . in knowledge of color chemistry, and in a conscious knowledge of design. So far, American ingenuity has made no important improvement over the ancient Javanese method ' of producing batik. It is true that the general effect of th Javanese patterns can be reproduced in printed silks, but they lack the personality and the appearance of being handwork that makes high grade batik art.
