H. A.

The meeting will assemble at 8 o'clock at the present art gallery on the third floor of the Civic auditorium.

Beside Mrs. Kluegel, other speakers, prominent in the art world, will be heard. MOVE IS SPONSORED. Harry Noyes Pratt, director of the Claremont art gallery, president of the Calffornia Writers' club; J. Hamilton Wolf, art instructor at the University of Cali fornia, and Miss Cora Boone, assistant director of art in Oakland public schools, today made statements, sponsoring the move for a large art gallery on the park site, which the park board expects to house Jointly with the museum.

Oakland is ready for a better art gallery," said Pratt, in praising Director W. H. Clapp for the exhibitions which have been brought to the present small gallery with limited means. WOLF FOR PARK SITE. "There is no more adaptable place than the park, where casual visitors can become art patrons," said Wolf.

"There is abundant art interest in Oakland, also among the smaller towns, as I have fre quently observed on lecture tours." Because of its obscure location, the present gallery does not function except to entertain serious art students who especially seek it out, according to Miss Boone, who said: There is a strong need for a place where classes may go and a place that leisure-seekers will find." 8.

Three years after we were Invaded on that occasion we had discharged completely the debt of $1,000,000,000 militarily imposed upon us by Germany, and this imposition represented merely military expenses, since Germany had not beeti invaded and had suffered no damage on her own soil." "How much do you reckon that the wealth of France has been reduced by the war?" "Berenger showed accurately in Washington that a typical French fortune consisting of the best French securities had shrunk more than 82 per cent. Tradespeople, manufacturers and those who had invested their wealth in foreign securities appear at present to have escaped this loss. It is only appearance.

JNVITING the outer world only to look, listen an5 admire, the drama department at Yale University burst forth last week December 11, to be precise full-fledged, standing four square on its own feet, asking no favor of playwright or producer, or technician, or actor, or even theater owner. For in a new theater was produced a play written by, a student, acted by students, directed by students, with lighting and costumes and scenic effects all done by students, under the general direction of Professor George Pierce- Baker. According to history never has such a complete job been done by university students, but that It will be commonplace in the future is indicated in the Interest being directed toward the drama by other important colleges and universities. In fact, the University of California will be so equipped if the forthcoming production of "The Trojan Women" is to be as successful as it should be.

The money from this presentation will go as a nucleus of a theater building fund to be added to by other productions, and, possibly, endowments.

What New JSEfc has. named system" for relieving rush-hour traffic congestion, is agitatThg the residents of Moscow. A part of the city administration is in favor of ordering certain factories to start work each day at 7 o'clock, others at 8 o'clock, and arranging with shops and stores to "stagger" their time opening. Similarly, the hours of ending work would be arranged so that all the factories and officers would not give forth their workers at the same moment. The load put on the street car system and on the electric power plants at present is considered uneconomical, as it requires an equipment ready for a "peak load" which is only called on to deliver its full capacity for a few minutes twice a day.

Tne opposition to the suggestion, however; thinks of the extremely dark mornings at 7 o'clock and of the Inconvenience of having to get out of bed before the neighbors. Russian habit and custom of long standing has impoeed very late social hours in the evenings. It is not unusual for visitors to arrive for a chat at 10 o'clock at night and stay well past midnight. Aday's work which begins at 7 o'clock in the morning, therefore, allows too short a time for sleep, it is claimed.
