Outclassed

When Ananias was on deck he
sprung his falsehoods day by day;
he strove to make the truth wreck,
succeeding in modest way. He did
his best, and if his best was cheap,
compared with modern curves, we
should not fout him with a jest,
denying praise that he deserves.
We should not greet with ribald
jeers the liars of an age gone by;
we should not scorn the pioneers
who first discovered how to lie.
There were no oil stocks to be sold
when Ananias blazed the way; there
were no salted mines where gold
was shown to come-ons every day.
There were no Offices in sight, no
candidates the snaps desired; there
were no burbling blurbs to write,
in praise of books that made men
tired. Financial wizards didn't sell
blue sky to boobs unknown to fame.
and so there was no chance to tell
a falsehood worthy of the name.
There were no yearly almanacs in
which to boost some wooden pills !;
men knew not how to dodge tax,
or sidestep merchants monthly bills.
The world was then a simple place,
where people toiled and paid their
debts, and it is surely no disgrace
if Ananias missed some bets. He
bravely warred against the truth.
with tireless if misguided zest, and
if his efforts were uncouth, he surely
tried to do his best.

coveted W. A. Clark prizes in the Cor
coran Gallery's biennial display, but
Hillside in Spring" in which values
are beautifully related and the illu-
sion of light and air exquisitely rem
dered, painting daring comparison
with the best-a rarely beautiful pic
ture.
Other Pleasing Studies.
Mrs. Bush-Brown is well repre-
sented by an interior. entitled
Friends" a picture of two young
flooded by sunlight through an un-
shaded window. The drawing in this
picture is excellent and the illusion of
sunlight exceptional.
Nearby hangs figure study in
costume of Nine. de Pau by Bertha
Noyes, which is attractive in its SIM
plicity and quaintness.
To the right, at short distance
is to be seen a study by Sarah Mum
roe of a young woman on a sunny
piazza, entitled Five O'Clock Tea
Miss Munroe also shows a character
study of Portuguese woman, boldly
rendered though unpleasing in its
homeliness.
Surely art is not fulfilling it's mis-
sion unless it interprets loveliness in
some fOrm-it may be that OF strength
or of color or of character. 1t should
be strong and not weak, but unless
there is beauty it is without signifi-
cance OF course, beauty to an extent
is comparative; what is lovely to one
may not be lovely to all. 1t is for this
reason perhaps that as a rule artist
juries make awards on a basis OF
technique.
Charming Landscapes.
All will agree. however, that both
technical merit and picturesque
beauty are to be found in the land
scape by Francis S. Watts, entitled
Morning in Spring" a composition
simple in effect, but full of the love
illness which at this season is found
in abundance out of doors.
Richard S. Meryman's landscape
presumably painted at Dublin, N. H.
has much this same element of beauty
and evidences keen vision and a
trained hand on the part of the
painter. His second exhibit, likewise
a landscape, is also notable for its
yeracious Interpretation of the Subtler

The Society of Washington Artists
opens its thirty-first annual exhibit
ton today at the Corceran Gallery of
Art and makes a most excellent show
ing with ninety paintings and six
works in sculpture. almost all of
which are by local artists.
One does not expect to find in a
local exhibition of this sort great
! works of art, for geniuses are rare,
but there is no doubt that this ex-
hibition will compare favorably with
any exhibition of it's kind held in any
other city of the United States. From
a creditable standard and give evil
dence on the part Of the artists Of
sincerity and keen appreciation of
that which is most worth while IN art.
The exhibition is pleasantly varied,
there are portraits, interiors, land
scapes and still life.
Miss Critcher Wins Medal.
The first prize, silver medal, was
awarded to a portrait by Miss Cath
crime c. Critcher of Madison Glenn
Brown, who is himself an artist, a
portrait extremely wei! painted aha
at the same time an admirable like
ness. Miss Critcher is both gifted and
| we'll trained. Her paintings have been
shown in the Paris Salon and the
foremost American exhibitions. Her
technique is clever. STRAIGHTFORWARD
and good, and in this instance she has
got into her picture strong person
ality and sense of vitality.
The second prize, bronze medal
went to Felicie Waldo Howell for a
street scene, washington Street
/! Marblehead," pictured with amazing
cla n ica q
composition, admirably drawn, beau
tifully painted. Miss Howell has made
great success of street pictures and
she has apparently, despite her sue
! cess, pushed forward. SO that her
work has continually grown in
strength. She is represented in this
hibition by a. second Marblehead
subject, a picture of the so-called
Lafayette House." from which a
corner was removed to widen the
roadway. Neither picture claims at
tenton by strong color nor brilliant
technique, but upon acquaintance de-
| mands respect by sound and extraor-
dinary merit.
Given Honorable Mention. =
Honorable mention was accorded an
interior by Marg Gray, a delightful
little picture of old fashioned furni-
ture attractively arranged in a living
room. Not only does each piece take

a painting of still life strong in color

liarly satisfactory in the rendering of

classes are held at night. the members
of the school have not been able to
maintain a social calendar as siren

Referring to the fact that crime was
rampant and citing the numerous

that society seemed for the time being
almost to be unable to cope with the
situation. He predicted return to
normal respect for law and order,

INTIMATE VIEWS
OF UNFOLDING LIFE
r. L. Ditmars Presents Ma
ture'S Own Drama of
the Seasons.

Natures own drama of the seasons,
with plants and animals and the ele-
ments for the cast and the movie
camera for playwright was present
ed to members of the National Geo
Graphic Society last evening by Ray
mond L. Ditmars, curator of reptiles
of the Bronx Zoo. in the Ia of the
societys lectures for the 192l-22 sea-
son.
Begins With First Leaves.
Beginning with the appearance of
the first green leaves in the marshes
as the ice thaws. and the deposit of
frogs eggs. Mr.. Ditmars showed inti
mate views of the unfolding life and
renewal of activities that mark spring
the growth of the tadpoleS, the
emergence of the ground hog from his
winter lair, the coming of the snakes
rom crevices in the rocks, the burst
ing of the apple blossoms and the
Matching of the moths. Baby bears
and squirrels and dear gamboled be-
fore the camera in their wild environ
ment and mother bats folded their
wings about their little ones as they
hung head down, to keep out the chill
spring temperature.
Summer Depicted.
Summer was depicted by the
change of tadpoleS into frogs, tne
rapid development of tiny birds and
beasts, bees tanning their hives to
provide ventilation, and the play of
giant flashes of lightning rending
great trees. Autumn with it's falling
leaves found animals and insects
busy storing food and making other
preparations for the winter and re-
turning to favorite hibernatinS loca-
tionS. Hares turning white to cam
outage themselves against the snow
and birds winging their way south
showed the advent of winter.
One of the nature secrets disclosed
by Mr.. Ditmars, at least to the
younger members of his audience.
was where the tadpole's tail goes.
1t does not drop off. as some persons
believe, he said. but is gradually alb
Sorbed as the creature takes on the
form of frog. Movie close-ups
showed snakes apparently a-foot or
more in length emerging from sur
prisingly small eggs.
Thumb Prints of Monkeys.
An after-piece to Mr.. Ditmars
drama showed the recent taking of
finger prints and thumb prints of
monkeys in the Bronx Zoo. A thumb
print of one orang-outang was so
nearly like a thumb print of
human that when the two were sent
to experts of the New York city
police department it was impossible
to tell which was that of man.
