On September 81 there will be

Mich, and the affair marked an
epoch in the automotive industry as

all speedway classics.
Two men, today outstanding fig
ures in motordom, figured in the win

winning car was owned, and had
been built. by Henry Ford. The
driver was Barney Oldfield.
Barney Oldfield! What name to
conjure with! What memories crowd
before the minds eye Of a racing

eventful life history Of Barney Old

Of the figure depicted. Two theo-
ries Of natures relation to mans
emotions have been current In
literature and art. By one, nature
seemed always hard. unresponsive,
and utterly unsympathetic with
the human creature IN his grief or
Joy. BY the other. nature respond
ed in her own moods to those Of
man, and the author enhanced his
dramatic situations by an upheaval
in the elements.
This is somewhat the theory OF
Philip Adams. and II we conceive
Of the universe as truly cosmics a
harmonious whole, why should II
not be the true expression?
Mr.. Adams theory Of color Is
interesting, Color should be not
only beautiful. but II should be
significant Of some natural truth,
and thus secretly stir ones emo

color which he sees. The roman.

he remembers" says Adams. ''In
other words, the memory which
we carry away from any beautiful

THE Farewell is one Of Adams
canvases which develops this plan.

staged by some lonely river. where
two lovers meet only to part again

MIR. ADAMS, who came here in
war work in 1918, after sew
eral years Of success as a notable
painter, was rapidly promoted in
the Government work until he ar
rived at his present extremely re-
sponsible position. From s a. m.

Adams is occupied with passports,

In the four years he has lived in
Washington Phil Adams has kept
30 quiet. and he Is 50 extremely
modest about his splendid painting,
and at the same time so very en-
thusiastic about his office, that few
have been permitted to see these

hibited, as they may be next fall.

dual temperament, for the artist

the cold and callous character re-
quired to scan credentials critical
" and decide when to withould or
curtail passports, yet Philip Adams
can play both parts successfully.
The nudes which Philip Adams
paints so well, in such fanciful,
poetic situations, are not the mere
" pretty women" which Jean
Francois Millet once heard him
self accused Of producing. as he
stood unnoticed. listening to the
conversation Of two ladies who
