PARIS SALON OF 1925
SHOWS NORMAL TONE
IN FRENCH PAINTING
PARIS. June 10.—(/P)—A wise old
owl, in marble, standing just out
side this year’s Salon, seems to wink
knowingly at arriving visitors, as if
to hint to them that they will find
something new inside. The owl is a
fine specimen of sculpture and as a
symbol of the good sense that has
prevailed in the selection of the pic
tures shown this year, he is regard
ed by critics as being right.
The choice collection of art the
two leading societies got together is
due, in the first instance, to the
fact that the International Exposi
tion of Decorative Arts drove them
out of the Grand Palais. They took
refuge in temporary barracks along
the Seine, in the Tuileries gardens,
where they have about half the space
provided in their usual quarters on
the Champs Elysees. Lovers of art
say it was a happy accident. It
raised the average merit of the can
vases shown, accentuating the con
trast between art of the classical
school and the efforts of the modern
ists who have made of the Decora
tive Arts Exposition an affair which
has incited sharp criticism and dis
cussion.
There is a good deal of sunshine,
lots of refreshing green, many pas
toral studies that show a healthier
selection of' subjects, and a great
deal less of the art that looks as if
it had been put onto canvas with a
spade. The subjects are not only
more wholesome, but the technique
is more in line with what the pro
fane would think to be the proper
way of making a picture look like
the subject it is supposed to portray.
Bobbed hair does nort yet seem to
have appealed to the artist. Portraits
j of women are painted with the full
allotment of nature. The nude is
discreet in point of volume, as well
as in respect to treatment. There
are some striking canvases in this
department that will probably some
day find their way into public gal
laries. That the influence of the
war on art is waning is one of the
lessons of the show. Military sub
jects are rare, and those that are
shown, are painted not to glorify he
roism but to show the horrors of
war. This -is particularly notice
able in the sculptor section. In late
years this department has looked
like a large cemetery, most of the
exhibits having been made to serve
as monuments to the dead on the
field of battle. This year there are
very few pieces that suggest war or
militarism.
The success that has followed the
| decisions of the jury in cuttting
! down the show without doing injus
tice to any meritorious work, will,
some critics believe, result in a con
tinuation of the policy of more care
ful weeding than has prevailed of
late years. It will also, they think,
prove of great benefit to artists, in
citing them to greater effort when
it once again becomes certain that
mediocre works will in future stand
small chance of admission.

Bishop Rouses Players
of Football In England
LONDON, June 9— (/P)—Assertion
in a sermon by the Bishop of Peter
borough, Dr. C. C. B. Bardsley, that
football players in England were
“bought and sold almost like slaves,”
has stirred up a hornet’s nest among'
sportsmen, who have rushed into
print to deny the clergyman’s con
tentions. The bishop, preaching at
Leicester, said he regretted the ex
tension of professionalism to foot
ball “which has done an awful lot
to ruin our games.” To this he add
ed: “I seem to see football players
being bought and sold almost like
slaves, and human machines train
ed as gladiators. It is the ruin of
club patriotism. Football is too great
a game to be spoiled in this manner.”
A. J. Darnell, of Northampton, pre
sident of the Southern League, among
others, replied to the bishop, main
taining that the statement compar
ing the transfer of football players
to slaves was all “nonsense.” “A
player is a free agent,” said Mr. Dar
nell, “and he may refuse or accept
an offer as he himself sees fit. He
receives, if transferred, a substan
tial proportion of the transfer fee,
and it invariably means his promo
tion to a higher class of football.”
Professional football players here
receive between $30 and $40 a week
thruout the year.
Speaking at a corner-stone laying
recently, President Coolidge said:
“Every inheritance of the Jewish
people, every teaching of their secu
lar history and religious experience
draws them powerfully to the side
of charity, liberty and progress.”
President Calles notified Soviet
Russia that disturbing propaganda
in behalf of communism will not be
tolerated in Mexico.
