Modern artists have apparently reached a stage of development which would defy even the criticism of the most conservative critics. A certain Mr. Deckinson of the individualist faith, having painted a picture entitled "The Fossil Hunters" in ghostly gray with a recumbent old man delicately pointing a twig in the general direction of a grind stone in the semi-abstract, won a five hundred dollar prize. Unfortunately, the photographer commissioned to take a picture of this work of art, being a conservative in the matter of posing and of regard for the limitations of his patrons, noted something amiss...

...list of those who will take part in the coming meeting reflects both the importance and the purposes of the Society. A round table discussion of "The Money Market in 1929", to take only one example, can hardly fail to be stimulating and instructive under the leadership of Mr. Burgess of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. And anything that such men as Dr. Vanderblue, Professor Crum, and Colonel Ayres may have to say on the general business situation may well be of national interest...
