"The Appeal of Victory for Thrift.

Inc Appeal OF victory for Thrift.
The first of the new government pos
tiers designed to encourage thrift in
the United States is being distributed
by the Savings Division of the Treas
ury Department. The poster is the
work of the noted artist, Haskell Cot.
fin, whose war posters figured in
many of the government war drives.
The printing represents a winged
Victory, with lowered sword bearing
in her appraised hand a branch of
palm. The painting is an artists
protest against the ugliness and the
horror of war and represents his con
ception of the beauty and tenderness
of peace. The picture bears the
legend: Share in the Victory, save
for your country save for yourself.
Buy War Savings Stamps"
1T was my DESIRE" said Mr.. Coffin,
to draw Victory with sweetness and
tenderness, emerging triumphant
from conflict in a noble cause,
sought to make lyric painting, to be-
used in some constructive movement
! did not want to do vain and glor-
ious Victory, rejoicing in death and
horror. i am delighted that this pic
ture is totbe used by the government
to further thrift
There is also story back of tho
palm of peace. Mr. Coffin went to a
florists shop to purchase this palm,
but when the florist learned to what
use it was to be put he refused to &C.
cept any money for the branch, saying
that he gladly contributed it to 50
important a cause.

PICTORIAL RECORD KEPT
OF TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT

New York, June 23.-One of the
unique and interesting features of the
navy's recent transatlantic flight is
the compilation for the historical
archives of the Navy Department of a
complete pictorial record of the flight
including drawings, sketches, photo
graphs, motion pictures and oil paint
'ings This record will show the con
struction and trace the development
of the NC,typo of planes in which the
fight was made besides depicting &C.
tual scenes of the preparations for
the fight and it's progress across the
ocean.
Navy photographers photographed
every interesting phase of the prepar-
ations and the trial flights at Rocka.
way Beach. Later the course had
been selected, other photographers
were sent to Halifax, N. S.. Trepas-
sy, N. f.; Ponta Delgada, Azores

land where landing stations and bas-
es had been established. Several
thousand feet of motion picture film
and several hundred photographs were
taken at these stations and from
these a careful selection will be made
for the departments permanent pic
torial record.
The task of making a pictorial rec
ord on canvas was entrusted to Lieu
tenant c. E. Ruttan, U. S. N. r., of
New York, who was designated by the
Navy Department as the official art
list for the flight He was Temperate

| ly assigned to the U. S. S. Melville,
which acted as supply and repair
ship for the seaplanes at Ponta Del
gada. Lieutenant Ruttan, who is a
qualified pilot, brought to the work
a long and valuable experience OBJ
tanned in painting naval aviation pic
lures on the Western front.
During the three weeks the Mel
Vile was stationed at Ponta Delgada
Lieutenant. Ruttan made nearly a
dozen sketches in oil, illustrating the
most interesting and exciting scenes
of the flight. One sketch shows the
arrival of the N Ca at Ponta 'Delgada
with cheering crowds lining the beach
and all ships in the harbor outlined
in bunting and flags. Another shows
the arrival of the damaged seaplane
NC-3, which motored into port under
her own power after being adrift for
So hours.
Two of the pAtures illustrate
planes passing a destroyer station
ship. The first, a day, view, shows
the plane flying above storm clouds
and the destroyer tossing about in a
rough sea. The other, a night view,
shows the plane silhouetted against
the moon and the destroyer aglow
with lights and her searchlight pierre
ing the darkness. Another sketch
represents the crew of the NC-1 be.
ing rescued by the Greek steamer
Ionia. Others picture exciting Incl
dents during the periods that the
NC-1 and NC-3 were adrift in the
rough seas.
The artist contemplates painting a
panoramic view of Ponta Delgada
harbor at the time of the meas ar
rival for frieze in the building or
section of the Navy Department to
be devoted to aeronautics. It is prob
able that the pictures will be placed
on exhibition within a short time and
later assigned a permanent place in
the Navy Department building in
Washington.
