DeHart, who has come tc Sir mingbam with a tremendous vision Of this Magic City of ours in the 3rld of art.
 Mrs DeHart sees in the not distant future Birmingham as an art center. She sees a "Grecian Pantheon" a wide, rambling sort of building, sky lighted. and a sun kissed conservatory of art, which the Civic league or some other big organization here will sponsor, and she voluntarily announces that she will lease her collection of water coiors tnow numbering 65, but later she in tends to augment to 100 pictures) for a period of years provided some plans she submits are carried out.
 Mrs. DeHart comes to Birmingham highly recommended as an artist of ability and talent by the critics, espe- cially of Chicago and St. Louis, where she has resided and during her resi- dence has conducted a studio.
 Mrs DeHart is the daughter of Judge. Robert c. Gregory of Kentucky, one of the most brilliant, wealthy and prom inent lawyers and politicians of that state, and for nine years one of the supreme judges of Indiana, where he subsequently removed.
 Besides being an artist Mrs. De1art is an accomplished musician, an inven- tor of note and a newspaper corre-- spondent She has done a great deal of portrait painting, but more recently she has devoted her time to water col ors. It is this vivid collection of pie lures which she is exhibiting--full of color and action, redolent of foreign as well as domestic atmosphere, bril- liant, alluring, into which I stepped few days ago in response to the re- quest of an old and valued friend, Judge N B. Feagin, who is anxious for Birmingham to know something of Mrs. DeHarts accomplishments and her ideas for an art conservatory to be festablished here.
 "All of my life I have studied art and worked and painted and given the best years of my life to art for arts sake" Mrs. DeHart told me as she commented upon various pictures as she pointed out to me her favorites in the large collection of water co1ors she has done.

of the country. My pictures made ir foreign lands were done in the various sections of the world which they repre- sent.
 For instance" Mrs. DeHart said, re- ferring to a picture bearing the title of "A Head Of a Servian Woman" and which is full of color and dignity, q made this sketch right from a clear vision of those tremendous big, six feet-high Servian women Who are far taller and larger than the men of that country. Also The Legend of the Lit tie Gates of Jerusalem I did during my residence in that part of the world.
 The Algerian Dancer is another pie ture sketched from life. It is very oriental, the high color of the costume the beads, the head decoration and the background being incidental to that exotic cline. My Czecho-Slovak sketch. The Hungarian Gypsy, with it's yellow and brown tones blended So harmon iously. I regard as one of my choice st pictures
 "A picture which attracts a great deal of attention,' Mrs. DeHart con tinued, "is The Lorelei or the Spirit of the Storm,' in it's manifold blue tfnts blended with deep browns. It is the story of Ulysses and Calypso; of how Ulysses made the search for a more beautiful creature than had ever been seen before. He finds the Lorelei and The Spirit of the storm portrays her beauty and loveliness to the most won derful advantage. My water color is copy of one of the most famous pie lures of one of the most famous of the old masters.
 My pictures painted in this coun- try Mrs DeHart said, q value very much. Take The Dells of Wisconsin for instance; it is one of my choicest landscapes. Some of my best work is in the dome of the capital in Michigan. where l have 32 pieces.
 q should so like to see Birmingham the center of art in the south, as Chi cago is in the vest Mrs. DeHart said. Tt seems great pity that the south has not progressed in art as it Mas in

WNT1TH the clothing problem one of
 MW the most serious faced by peo-
 V pie liberated by war, the Amer 5can Red Cross, as a part of its pro gramme of shipping 100000 garments to refugees monthly, will conduct a man. moth collection of clothing, shoes. blankets throughout the United States during March.
 Red Cross reprentatives abroad and Herbert Hoover, head of the European relief administration, have cabled that an immediate supply of every kind Of clothing is absolutely vital to the health and life of millions of men, women and children, freed from the German yoke.
 The field for relief in northern France, Belgium, Italy, Rumania, Serbia, Greece, Montenegro, Palestine Albania, Czecho- Slovakia and Poland is so vast that the main problem can only be coped with by allied governments. Very valuable sup elementary relief can be rendered by the Red Cross, however, and, accordingly, its millions of members and the Ameri- can people at large will be asked to assist by the donation of old clothing that will prove a veritable Godsend to those who have borne the brunt of Ger many's assault on civilization.
 Collection will be made just at time when practically the whole country is discarding winter clothing, much of which would never again be donned by owners. Thus, at minimum of sacrifice, American people will be able to show in a most substantial way their brotherhood to those who still suffer. At least 10000 lions of clothing are needed in the drive which will be conducted by all Red Cross chapters. Without delay garments will be shipped to a concentration point and for warded to Europe. There it will be sorted and repaired by people for whose benefit it is devoted, the distribution being made under American supervision.
