The children of New York City
are much more careful than the
grown-ups in the matter
avoiding the possibility of vehlcu~
lar accidents.
This fact was made plain in a
statement issued recently by Spe-
cial Deputy Police Commissioner
Barron Collier. in charge of the
Police Department's Bureau of
Safety. which has Just rounded out
the first year of its existence.
The Bureau. which has as its
prime objective the decreasing of
such accidents. has by an intensive
educational campaign suceeded in
reducing the number of vehicular
accidents among children under
sixteen. although there has been a
slight increase in the number of
such mishaps affecting adults. Now
the Bureau announces that it finds
it must direct its attention more
particularly to: grown-ups.
any Walking Chief Danger
0n the whole. Mr. Collier says.
the situation is encouraging. While
accidents among adults have in-
creased, the increase has not been
proportionate with the increase in
population and the number of auto-
mobiles over last year. Jay-walk~
ing. the repbrt indicates, .is still the
greatest source of potential danger.
Because of the bureau’s work in
behalf of the children. there were
thirty-two less youngsters killed
ring the first ten months of the
tar than during a. corresponding
period in 1922. This in the face of
the cast that there are 20.596 more
school children and 33.850 more
automobiles than there were last
year.
Among persons of all ages there
was an increase of thirty—nine fatal-
ities during the first ten months of
1923 over 1922. and as this increase
was confined solely to adults it sug-
goals the necessity for intensive ac-
cident prevention henceforth among
the older persons. This groan increase
of fatalities among adults. the report
points out. is not. as serious as it
appears on its‘ face when the in-
creased population and the greater
number of motor cars is consider-
ed. »
Death List Shrinks
On the basis of accidents per
10,000 motor cats there was a con-
siderable decrease in the number
of adult fatalities. in 1922 the per-
ccntage of lives per 10,000 cars was
26.43. In 1923 it was clipped to 24.-
2.
In 1923 “Jay walking" was respon.
sible for 281 fatal accidents and 6,-
764 persons were injured in mishaps
of that kind. It caused twice as
many deaths as any other one thing.
The fact that only a. small minority
of pedestrains cross the streets awuy
from the proper crossings emphas-
izes the great danger of this habit.
The work of the bureau has been
chiefly among school children.

From the Austrian metropolis on
the blue Danube has come to this
country an artist on a novel quest.
according to Lucien Arthur Jones
who wrote the following for the
New York Times. Ernest Linnea-
Kamp. characterized by Professor
Trautzl. historian of the Viennese
Art Museum. as "the most celebrated
portrait painter in Central Europe."
is here to seek the fifteen most bea-
tiful women in America.
The Viennese painter has a. defini-
le commission from the Amalthea
Verlag. a publishing house of Zurich.
Switzerland. and Vienna. to select
those who, in his opinion. are the
fifteen fairest types of American wo-
manhood. \thn Herr Linnenkamp
has accomplished his task. which he
estimates will take him from six to
wit reproduce his work.

ciety women. actresses. professional
beauties, winners of- beauty contests.
shop girls. homo girls. luundresses,
waiterch and others seeking to be
included in the chosen fifteen. Herr
Llnnenkamp admits that he has an
overwhelming and nerve-racking Job
before him.
To date he has seen some 1,800 of
New York's loveliest, though he has
been in the city hardly 1t fortnight.
Among these he has found only two
he considers fit to represent the na-
tion. They are:
Miss Elizabeth Reiner. 19 College
student. 430 Riverside Drive.
Baroness Van der Noot dc Morse],
'426 Jefferson avenue.
After a week of fruitless search.
the artist met the two beauties
through a casual introduction. He
was not holding his beauty clinic at
the time nad regards the meeting
as a lucky chance.- Miss Reiner.
whoae father is a. broker and mem-
ber of the New York Stock Exchange.
comes of an old New York family
which settled in this city many gm-
erations ago. She is blond. has him-
eyes. is five feet and a half inches
tall and has a slim. graceful figure.
Herr Linnenkamp says of her:
"Here is a. type with beauty. dis-
tinction and charm. Aristocrncy
shows itself in every movement. Her
eyes are eloquent and out' of them
peeps her soul. ’Her figure is perfect
and her skin and coloring show a.
healthy. carefree life. I have made
some preliminary sketches and hope
to begin her portrait soon."
The artist is no less enthusiastic
about the Baroness Van der Noot dc
Morsel. She is another type artis-
tically Herr Linnenkamp has .suc-
cumbed to her charms.
“The Baroness," he says. "is a
brunette with dark eyes. .She is six
years older than Miss Rainer and
therefore. is more mature. Her fea-
tures are perfectly balanced and she
has that poise which speaks of cen-
turies of breeding. I have begun sit-
tings with th eBaroness, and when
I have completed her portrait it will
be .my first work here. In spite of
her foreign name. she comes of a-
hmiiy that. has been settled in this
country for more than 200 years." ,
vHerr Linnenkamp. has original
ideas of what constitutes beauty.
When he first came to New York he
was disillusioned by types he had
met on the boat on the way over and
by types he had seen on Broadway.

can women." he said then. “is that
the majority seem to me to be like
mechanical painted dolls. They are
pretty. I grant. but they all seem to
be of a standard type. I hope that
which of course is pure-
ly superficial, will be revised. I hope,
without creating offense. . _ p -

be a likely candidate for his can-

“When I say that! was not struck
particularly by the Follies girls." ed-
ded lier Linnenkamp. "i mean to
say that they did not strike me as
an artist- Asa man I fell in love
with them all. but they are too much
of type for the purpose I need of
them. ‘I did see one tall. stately

Herr Linncnkamp has set down
what he menu’s by beauty. his opin-
ion of the American woman and
what exactly he is looking for. In
an analysis or the task before him
he says: . ’
“The beauty of a woman is not
only a gift of nature but also a mir-
ror of culture and a yardstick by
which the sensitive. esthetlc require-
ments of man may be measured.
Never was beauty i nsuch a measure
an art as it is today. Never Wore
was beauty so much the central point
around which everything revolves.
and the stragedy of beauty is the
atragedy of the art of living.
“The beauty of a woman is en-
tirely a matter of historical periods.
“’0 have not. in modern times that
rare. fragrant beauty of the days of
the Renaissance. fo the Rocco period
and what is known as the Empire
style. I am thinking of the famous
splendors of Mona Lisa. Mme. Pom-
padour. Manon Loscaut. Ninon de
I'Enclos and others."
"Today the beauty of woman is of
another fashion, though it is far
more pronounced. Indeed a woman
changes from hour to hour with, the
present dictates of fashion. It is
no exaggeration to say that the mod-
ern society woman can be and of-
ten is ofuroiirfwcmhrmfhrmfwy‘
ten four or five different beautiful
personalities in one day. She comes
on the scene in a morning gown
and she is one person. For lunch
sin: has changed and. behold we
have another woman. Just as beau-
tiful but different. In the afternoon
she changes her dress and her per-
sonality again and she becomei a
third type. Then for evening wear
she has changed again and her hair
is coiffured in a. different fashion. It
is really extremely bewildering.
Tribute to can Womcno’
“As for the American woman: I
have radically altered by opinion
since my arrival. The beauty of the
American woman is the. quintesSoiice
of a supremely developed flower“ of
a many hundred—year-old bud. From
the soulless beauty of Greece. from
the soulful Renaissance period. from
the slavish age of the Orient. where
man in master. she has develop
into a pure mixture of these types.

Let her thoughts of her soul and

In further explanation of what he
wants. Herr Linncnkamp declares
he wants the slender. spiritueile type.
He prefers tai. women because he:
thinks height lends dignity and poise
to the figure. Though. as a man. he
prefers blondes, he intends. if pos-
sible. to and for his fifteen beauties
four blondes. four brunettes, three
brown and three "between" shades.
That is to be redhaired beauty.
“'ith Herr Linnenkamp, who is
nering middle age. is his wife. who
is represented in many of his por-
traits. She is. according to experts.
“reincarnation of the Northern Eu-
[append idoimof beauty. Laughingly
she refuses to help him in his beauty
search. "He brought all this beauty
on his own head." she has said. “Let
him fight it out himself. I agree.
however. about th beauty of the
women he already as selected."
The Viennese artist has painted rc-
markable portraits of Seipel. the
Austrian Catholic Chancellor. and of
the late Arthur lelsch. former con-
ductor of the Leipsic Philharmonic
Orchestra. 1n the background- of
these two portraits can be clearly
seen what Herr Linnenksmp means
when he speaks about putting the
soul of his subject into his work.
Symbolic figures and scenery repre-
sent the life-work of these two men
in the background.
Of his work and painting in gen-
eral Herr Linnenkamp says: "The
middleleaged painters have forsaken
all unnatural mannerisms and the
young ones are masters trying to
paint as nearly like the old masters
an possible. “We have. however. still
too many artists who do not know
how to draw, since f.- years they
have attempted to express the soul
without fostering the form. The
tendency o fartists today is to study
the old masters and learn to draw.
Expressionism is dead
dying in this country. The artists
are beginning to feel that life is not
so crazy as some of them used to see
it. Today the aim is to draw nature
as it is and then put in the soul and
the heart. The drawing'must show
the thing as it is and the color is the
medium for expressing the soul." 7

more closely resembles a‘bathtub
