Diseases of Raspberry
Plants Hard to Detect

While most of the diseases which
attack raspberry plants cannot be de-
tected on the plants themselves, after
they have been dug, care should be
taken not to use plants which show
hard knots or gals on the roots.
These are likely to spread from plant
to plant and the raspberry fields in
fected with this disease are seldom
profitable.

ing the years that he was as
ISOLATED with the Corcoran School
Of Art. where he was vice prin-
cipal from 1902 until 1918.
Mr.. Brooke was born in Warren
ton, Va, October 20, 1847. He
was noted as a landscape and fig
ure painter and as a teacher. He
sometimes organized delightful
summer excursions with his stu.
dents, when they would all go
away for a few weeks to the coun-
try to paint.
1t was but Il year before he
passed away that Viktor Flam-
beau was lucky enough to be for
a short time one Of Mr.. Brooke's
pupils, and although feeble then,
he was talking of arranging such

Brooke has done it.
Many years he dreamed Of his

It is the desire Of Mrs. William

Bohn, that the social functions
shall always be Informal and open
without charge to everybody. The

cess depends upon the response 1t
awakens. Its test will be in the
new inspiration and impetus it is
bringing to American art.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan are both
members Of the Art and Archae-
ology League, whose officers will
also cooperate in the exhibition
and assist at the reception. The
league president, DIR. Mitchell
Carroll, both of whom have done
SO much to promote the Art Cen

present and receiving.

The grandson, Max Bohm,
studied art in Paris as q pupil
of Jean Paul Laurens, Lefebvre,
and BENJAMIN Constant. He was
only nineteen when he first went
to Europe, but in two years he
had q picture hung at the Salon,
in 1889, and received many
academic prizes. In 1898 while
he was still but young man Of
barely thirty he was awarded the
gold medal Of the Paris Salon.
His picture, Golden Hours"
hangs in the Luxembourg.
WON MANY MEDALS.
In 1900 the silver medal of the
Paris Exposition was handed him,
and he has ever since been gath
ering medals; Bronze, from the
Buffalo Exposition in 1901: silver.
from st. Louis in 1904. and gold.
from the Panama-Pacific Inter-
national Exposition at San Fran
cisco in 1915.
The coveted Thomas B. Clarke
prize of the National Academy Of
Design in New York came to
him in 1917. He is also repre-
scented in our National Gallery,
and in a number Of other cities.
Exhibiting along with Max
Bohm is his friend. Theo J.
Morgan, Of Washington, who has
been an absentee for several
years. but has returned this
season to his home and studio at
1914 Sixteenth street northwest.
Morgan's pictures will surprise
you. He has been painting at
Provincetown, and hasn't lost
his Individuality by it. as some
others have. For that's the one
great thing to keep in Art-in-
dividuality. It's because Of that
very thing in the marvellous art
Of Egypt that we're all so crazy
about young King Tut-isn't that
so?
And sometimes it's as hard for
an artist to keep his individuality
in America as 1t is in Paris, be-
cause it's SO much easier to learn
somebody else's trick in making
pretty pictures. and paint almost
the same way he does, only not
quite so well.
And then you're goner!
You've committed suicide SO far
as your art is concerned.
WORKS RAPIDLY.
Theo Morgan has never done
this. In painting, as in life, he
is an ihdividualist. and that
doesn't mean that his work is
queer. for it isn't. It's perfectly
sane, good work, only people
don't always agree with the way
he sees thing.
But he actually sees them that
way, and he isn't taking at all.
And everyone says his color is
wonderful. It's scientific
theory he's worked out, but how
he gets it we don't know.
He works like lightning when
he's painting. Sometimes in half
an hour or so. he'll produce a
thousand dollar picture, village
street just after a storm, perhaps,
with a Transforming afterglow
touching up all the dark corners.
Or maybe it's just q corner of
a little town by the sea, like
Uphill and Down." an adapted
composition from something he
found at Provincetown. It's sure
to be different, anyhow, and YOU
can't help liking it, never mind
how he got it.
Mrs. Morgan, who is also an
artist. is to show some of her
paintings and batiks, in which she
Is an adept. She comes from
Cleveland, where she studied art
and is known in the painting
world as Adelaide Baker.

Too long we have contented
ourselves by saying. "The Amer
lean School Of Landscape is our
contribution to modern painting"
OF course that is true. but can
American art afford to stop there?
It Is not that America has not
produced artists, and great ones,
for 1t Is easy to name many,
from Gilbert Stuart to George
1nness, our leading landscapist,
and Elihu Vedder. the American
mystical painter, who died but a
week or two ago In Rome.
Our modern portrait painter,
John Singer Sargent, would make
velasquez and Franz Halls look to
their laurels. And Of course there
Is a whole flock Of new Amer
lean artists whose pictures we
enjoyed in the last Biennial at
the Corcoran Gallery a year ago.
Hands up. how many can re-
member any OF those pictures?
II there one you could describe
today, and a single artist of the
bunch that you could name? If
%. Flambeau will give you a
medal, provided you are not an
art critic. All such are barred
from the competition.
HERE'S AN INVITATION.
But seriously now, how many
would like to see the works of
three artists whom you will re-
member, paen who have a mes
sage for yed. and all three Amer
leans? Come this afternoon then.
from to s p. m. for tea and
m informal reception. and meet
them. and see their stunning pic
lures at the Art Center. 106 Con-
necticut avenue northwest.
One Of them you can't meet
because he's gone. but you can
zee his masterpiece. THE Christ
mas Flock" called also 1.-THE
Turkey Drive" one of the great
pictures which some day will
have a place Of honor In a big
museum, as it has today the
place of honor at the Art Center.
It is the work Of the late Richard
Norris Brooke, Of Washington and
warrenton. Va, well known here
and elsewhere, both as painter
and q charming gentleman. Mr..
Brooke spent years upon this
picture, and finally brought It to
perfection, but he did not live to
see its value recognized, as he
knew 1t would be some day.
The second artist exhibiting here
has come down from New York
to meet you, and It is the first
time that he has shown his work
In Washington. though he has
had numberless pictures in other
American and European cities.
BONN UNFORGETABLE.
You will like Max Bohm, and
his work, for both are striking
In character, and you won't for
get them. His pictures are real
ones, with something to think
about and to feel in them, COM
positions with a story and a
mystical atmosphere, like 1.-THE
Norsemen," a strange study Of
wild human figures. Then there
are portraits. figure studies,
themes of Mother and Child"
the last being his favorite sub
ject, so it is said.
Bohm belongs to the Middle
West, having been born in Cleve-
land in 1863. the son of dis
tinguished family. His father
served in the civil war, and later
became a large lumber merchant
OF Cleveland. His grandfather,
Karl Christian Bernard Bohm,
had been a judge Of the court of
common pleas in Weimar, Saxony,
but on account of his political
opinions he left Germany and
came to the United States, where
he became an American citizen,
He was author of an authorita-
tive book on German jurispru-
dence. besides being a poet and
novelist.

SLATED ON STATE

Miss Adah Bush Reported as
Likely Successor to
John Brown.

That the secretaryship of the Board
of State Charities, s4,000-a-year job,
now held temporarily by John A.
Brown, will be offered to Miss Adah
E. Bush, Governor McCray's sec
tary. before the close of the present
administration, sixteen months from
now, is a Statehouse rumor which
has been found to have substance.
In connection with the possible ap-
pointment, a complete reorganization
of the board is foreseen at some date
within the present regime.
Brown has held the temporary job
since Jan. l, 1923, since the resigna-
ton of Amos w. Butler, former sec
rotary.
The secretary of the board is or
dinarily chosen by the board itself,
but it is believed the Governor will
be able to exercise influence and take
care of Miss Bush as a faithful po-
litical hacker.
Miss Bush has had experience in
social work and was a war overseas
worker.
Some official doubt that Miss Bush
would accept the position.
