Forty-two cartoons and fourteen carl
catures by Felix Mahony constitute the
exhibition which opened in the Cor
corap Gallery of Art last Monday. The
collection Is shown in the special ex-
hibition gallery and makes an impress
sive display. The cartoons in black
and white. matted but not framed, make
a single line on the semicircular wall,
while on the fat wall are exhibited the
fourteen caricatures. all of which are
in color and of local artists.
The first impression the visitor re-
ceives is of strength, force and indi-
yiduality, for the work has these dis
tinguishing characteristics. 1t has,
tive quality which are notable and at
tractive. 1t Is in these particulars that
American illustrative work SO often
lacks. and for this reason so frequently
fails to carry conviction. Mr.. Mahony
Is evidently well trained as a drafts
man and he uses his line effectively and
well. His work is bold, but trenchant;
his utterance Is concise, but to the
point. Like the best of political car
toonists, he knows how to provoke a
smile, but he also knows how to stir
emotion. While some of his drawings
are distinctly humorous, others are dis
tinctly pathetic and appealing-deltb-
erately intended to arouse interest and
evoke sympathy. All of his drawings
look as If they had been easily done,
and this in itself is token of mastery.
The car1catures are perhaps more
subtle and even more engaging. Not
only do they exaggerate the character
istfc features of those caricatured, but
they also render the subtle personality
which is SO elusive, but SO very dis
tinguishing. These caricatures repre-
sent exclusively local artists and they
are not only capital likenesses, but
genuine characterizations. Among those
SO pictured are the late E. F. Andrews.

must have lived mainly by hunting. and
this surmise is borne out by the dis

That the pit dwellers antedated the
Pueblos Is very strongly indicated by
the fact that an ancient Pueblo ruin

to q very ancient race which lived in

the American Indians appeared there;
that they were driven into their noun

A new RACE OF
AMERICANS.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The buried homes OF a new race of
Americans have been unearthed in Socor-
70 county, n. NJ, by DR.. Walter Hough
of the National Museum. in this city.
Although the bones. tools, bits of pot
terry and other remnants which he OBJ
tanned have not yet been thoroughly
studied, his opinion that these people must
be distinct from any other known race
is generally accepted.
In the corner OF Socorro county where
this discovery was made there are a
number of ruins of stone dwellings. which
were doubtless built by the early Pueblo
Indians DR.. Hough was engaged in dig
ging about one OF these some years ego
when he observed that the excavation
took the form of a great circular pit
which had evidently been made long be-
fore, and gradually flied with leaf. mold
and earth. Then came other discoveries
Bits OF charred wood the bones of ami
mails and pieces OF pottery came to light.
1t became apparent that this circular ex-
cavation had once been the home of men.
Now the Pueblos always have used a
sort OF obionS dug-out as a sacred council
chamber, and Dr. Houeh realized that
this might be-merely one of those struc-
lures: but there were a number of points
OF difference which made him believe that
he had really come across something new.
10 an anthropologist there Is nothing
more thrilling than to find q trace Of what
may prove to be a discovery of genuine
scientific importance. DIR. Hough had to
return to the museum and his duties a I
that time, but he remembered that sug-
eestive pit and returned to the region
at the first opportunity, which was last
summer.
Roaming about the pine clad hills, he
came upon place where the vegetation
seemed to grow more thickly over a small
circular area. He knew that it must be
another of the strange pits. And then
he perceived that there.were other circles
of sreenneSs all about-in fact a whole
village of them!
Straightway he began excavations or
q large scale, and gradually, from one
rrifie after another, built up an imagi-
native conception of the people who
had dwelt in these pits. certainly cen
turies, perhaps thousands, of years be-
fore.
The site Of the village was q gently
sloping, pine-clad ridge, 1000 feet above
sea level. Charred bits of wood show ed
that each of the pits had been sur
rounded by a stockade about four feet
high, and bits of clay clinging to some
of the timhers proved that the whole
had been rooted with logs covered by a
thick layer of mud. Thus, the scientist
could reconstruct for his Imagination
this whole village of circular dwellings
half above ground, half below. and
probably entered through a hole in the
roof.

Circular Pit Shows
Perfect Anphitheater

ter of the village was the most impress
sive work of all. 1t was circular pit,
ninety feet In diameter and not yet
completely flied, with a bottom fifty
feet wide, and bench or step running
all the way around half way between
top and bottom-in a word, complete
and perfect amphitheater, differing only
in size and material from the Roman
Coliseum and the Yale bowl.
This discovery banished the last
doubt about the permanence of the viii
lage. Undoubtedly the people who
their games and dances, intended to oc-
cupy their village for a long time. It
was no temporary hunting camp.
This being determined, the signifl-
cance of the discovery lay in the fact
that the mode OF life of the people, so
far as these remnants revealed them. in
no way resemhied those of the native
Pueblo stock. In times gone by many
legends have been built up about the
ancient Inhabitants of the southwest,
and one by one these have been explod-
ed. When the ruined stone dwellings
under the caves of great cliffs at Rito
de los Frijoles, \. NJ, and Mesa Verde,
Col, first began to attract attention
they were widely exploited by various
writer's with more journalistic sense
than scientific knowledge as the dwell
lngS OF tiny race OF ''Clin dWelierS.
The small size of the race was deter
mined solely by the fact that the doors
were very low.
Now careful investigations by Bandelier
and other men from our bureau of eth
nology have proved conclusively that all
of these Interesting ruins were inhab
by the Pueblos in an earlier day. when
inaccessible cliff dwellings with small
doors were necessary for defensive pur-
poses against the Apaches and Navajos
In word, the polite buck from whom
you bought water jar or turquoise from
the window of a Pullman at Las Vegas
or Albuquerque was lineal descendant
of the so-called cliff dwellers.
Every attempt to prove that this coun-
try was inhabited by an older race before
the Indians has met with the same kind
of rude defeat a the hands Of scientific
investiga ton The mound builders of the
Ohio valley and Arkansas, supposed by
early writers to have been an ancient and
wonderful race. were proved to have been

is the belief of the officers of the

that the fundamental principles under
lying all the fine arts and their appre-

knowledge of painting, sculpture and
architecture, but art itself.
During the winter the society pro-
poses to hold several special meetings-

Washington. Under its auspices It Is
hoped to arrange for a special recital, to
be given by Mrs. Edward MacDowell.

Plans are also being made for series
of organ recitals on late afternoons at
one of the largest churches, having an
excellent organ, that the public may
have the best music and without

and attendance, of such a course, given
in previous season, under the auspices

tion of Miss Cornelia B. Sage at the
Albright Gallery a most notable ex-
hibition of sculpture by American
artists. About 500 examples were
shown, of which st least half came
from the Panama-Pacific exposition.
The other half was assembled under
the direction of the National Sculpture
Society. of which Herbert Adams is
president.
The sculpture was arranged not only
Inside the Albright Gallery, but in the
adjacent park and grounds, which
gave unique and very suitable setting.
1t is sometimes thought that sculp-
ture makes a less direct and emotional
appeal than painting, but certainly the
interest shown in this exhibition dis
credited the conviction.
From June II, when the exhibition
opened, to July 16 its exhibition was
visited by almost $4,000 persons, and
as the weeks passed attendance in
creased rather than diminished. In fact,
no exhibition previously held has com
pared with it in attendance. Now
arrangements are being made to trans
fer large portion, if not all. the ex

Will likely go to Cleveland and De-
troit.
This is the kind of exhibition that
should come here. With the National

the finest possible setting. and many
would see it in Washington who would
not see 1t elsewhere. Besides, 1t is an
enterprise commensurate with national
purpose 1t would be a great thing

as well as for American sculpture.
A number of Washington artists
were represented in a summer exhi-

at the National Arts Club, New York,

was represented by no less than seven
paintings. Hobart Nichols showed four,
as did also Miss Eva Springer Among
