ASSOCIATION WILL AID
IN DISTRIBUTING WORK
OF WESTERN ARTISTS
CHICAGO, Aug, 26. (JP)—Placing of
(he best works of western artists of
the highest ability, in the homes of
art lovers, instead of letting them re
main in their original environment
of the studio, has been made possi
ble here thru the creation of the
Chicago Galleries Association and
its novel plan for distribution of the
artists’ work. Curtis B. Camp, an at
torney of Chicago, is president. The
association is to be conducted as a
non-profit one.
The association is a combination
ot artists and 150 lay members and
the plan of distribution provides for
the selection of 150 of the best paint
ings shown in the galleries over a
period of three years, or 25 to be
selected at each spring and fall ex
hibition to be presented to each of
the 150 lay members.
These paintings will be selected
by the laymen, each of whom is re
quired to pay into the association
as membership dues $200 a year for
a three-year period. This assures
the layman, however, of obtaining
one of the best pictures shown for
$600. The selection of lay members
to choose pictures will be made by
lot, but all will be assisted by a com
mittee composed of three art ex
perts or connoisseurs to help them
select the best altho they are per
mitted to choose any picture they
desire without advice.
The artists, .however, do not all
receive the $600 for each picture
chosen. Regardless of the pictures
selected by the layman, assisted by
the committee of experts, this latter
committee will decide which picture
deserves the first prize of $1,000, and
the artist will receive this amount.
Following this, the committee wil se
lect pictures for the second, third,
fourth and so on down to the twen
ty-fifth prize.
The prizes will be: One $1,000
prize, two $500 prizes, three $400
prizes, five $300 prizes, four $250
prizes and ten $200 honorariums.
A rule of the association says: “It
is our problem of all to give each
is our problem first of all to give
each layman the picture that he likes
and that he wants from the exhibi
tion for the money he has paid, and
second to see that the pictures thus
selected are the best pictures in the
show and that the prizes are proper
j ly awarded to these pictures.”
i Artists from Ohio and all states
! west to the Pacific coast are to be
invited to enroll in the association,
the list being confined to artists of l
high standing.
The Galleries association also will
conduct what it calls its circulating
department, where any or all of the
150 laymen may select smaller pic
tures from the gallery walls and
take one of them home for a period
of from 30 to 60 days and then re
turn it and take another home and
continue this system as long as he
holds membership.
Each artist will be required to fur
nish a designated quota of these
smaller pictures for the galleries in
addition to submitting the larger
picture for the prizes.
The galleries will probably be op
ened the coming autumn.

Scientists Study Traces
of Ancient Polynesians
PAPETE, Tahiti, Aug. 26. (/P)—
Scientists are studying evidences of
a Polynesian race antedating any
known today.
A representative of the Bishop Mu
seum of Honolulu is making research
es among the old Marae, or stone
platform and pyramids, vrhich served
as temples and places of sacrifice in
ancient times. These have been
found in the interior of the island,
now an uninhabited wilderness, but
in former times evidently largely in
habited. Two of these Marae, re
cently found, are of a different tyj;e
from the others on tne inhabited is
lands of Polynesia. The only other
places where this type of temple has
been discovered are two desolate is
lands to the north if the Hawaian
group.
Scientific opinion is inclined to
hold that thi ran form o' Mane
points to mote ancient race d v.en
inland by a conquering wave of Poly
nesians. Furthen investigation is
under way, with a view of determin
ing the character of the lost race.
