Institute, Pittsburgh. Both Mr.. De
Forest and Mr. Saint -Gaudens will tell
something of what is being done in
New York and elsewhere to bring art
to the people-in other words, to culti
vate among our American people love
of art which lends enrichment to life.
The purpose of the meeting is to
bring together here in Washington those
who have this love of art for mutual
benefit and with the intention of further
encouraging its development. No men,
berships are to be solicited nor con-
tributions asked. In the days when art
most fiourished such gatherings of art
lovers were not uncommon. Art offers,
as the great men of affairs now are
coming to realize, a delightful field for
recreation. 1t is the hope that as an
outcome of the announced meeting
further excursions into this field will
be planned.

other significant landscapes entitled
"Springtime in Maryland" Locust

Edgar Nye, of all the exhibitors,
follows more nearly in the footsteps
of the modernists. He shows five
large canvases, all very broadly rem
dered according to what might be
termed the modernist mode of SIM
plifcation, but his tone values and
his color relations are nicely adjusted
and at a sufficient distance these
paintings become very effective;
especially SO is one of The Fog,
Monhegan," which possesses, despite
its obvious method, subtlety and dis
tinction.
All in all it is a thoroughly inter
esting collection and it is earnestly
to be hoped that it will not only be
visited, but that encouragement will
be given through sales.
THE charming exhibition of por-
celain statuettes by Mrs. George
Oakley Totten, jr., of this city, which
has been held for the past fortnight
or more in the Corcoran Gallery of Art
closes today, all too soon. Rarely does
one see art of more piquant and ap-
pealing sort than these little figurines
modelled and made by this talented
young artist in her old home in Sweden
Here in America our art is apt to take
on a gravely serious character, and so
we often forget that its real nature
should be joyous. Mrs. Totten's
fgurines are not merely joyous, they
are merry with the blitheness of youth.
They sparkle with wit, and yet, they
have the naivette of childhood. This
is a rare and delightful quality and one
which should be cherished as something
precious. Unfortunately there is no
factory in the vicinity of Washington
where Mrs. Totten can continue the
production of her work in the medium
of porcelain, but it earnestly to be
hoped that in some way this difficulty
may be obviated so that her unique
and delightful art may find further ex-
preston along the same line.

There was a lively session of Luckie Tent No. 2, Maccabees, on Monday evening, with Commander Roy Manly in the chair, and a large attendance of the members. Twelve applications for membership were received and con- sidered.

ARTIST AT HOME IN THE AIR

A highly popular and picturesque fig ure in Paris Journalistic circles, NJ. Roger Mathieu, art editor of the Matin, has just been awarded the legion of honor, says the continental edition of the London Mail. This signal mark of his country's gratitude has been we'll earned by M. Mathieu for his services to French aviation and art, quite apart from his brilliant record of war service
 He is, indeed, as much at home in the air as he is in a dark room or in bringing off photographic scoops :" his professional rivals will be acutely sen- sible of the greatness of this compli- ment.
 NJ. Mathieu was the first photog- rapher to fly, having risked his neck and his camera in the earliest days of aviation. He looped the loop with Pegoud, and among his colleagues he holds the duration record for a flight in the performance of duty. His work has taken him along the airways to places as far distant as The Hague and Dakar (Senegal), and he has been identified, officially or unofficially, with most of the important aviation events in France for many years past. Another notable name in the latest list of nominations to the legion of honor is that of M. Oh. Maillard, president of the Chambre Syndicate de la Publicite and a member of the French commit tee for the international advertising convention.

CHURCH TO RAISE
 FUND FOR JAPAN
Dr. Barnwell In Charge Of The Reconstruction
 Fund Committee

Dr. Middleton s. Barnwell, rector of the Church of the Advent, has been named as chairman of the general com mittee in charge of the campaign, to raise Alabama's s quota of $31 900 for the Japan reconstruction fund. The Episcopal church throughout the United States has undertaken to re- build the hospitals, schools and churches of the church at Tokyo, Japan, which were toally destroyed in the disastrous earthquake that occur red September 1, 1923.
 The church has planned to raise three million dollars for this purpose during this campaign, which is being conducted simultaneously in every Episcopal diocese and parish in the country. The amount to be raised in the diocese of Alabama is $31, ,000. The Rt. Rev. W. H. Mcdowell, bishop coadjutor of the diocese of Alabama has charge of the campaign and is taking an active part in the. work.
 Among the church property destroy ed by the earthquake was the famous St. Luke's hospital, said to be one of the finest institutions of it's kind in the Far East. According to the church committee the need of rebuild ing this humanitarian institution and the churches and schools is very great, and that if not rebuilt the work of the church for the past 50 years in Japan will go for naught.
 The campaign will end Sunday, May 25.

AIDS STRANDED AMERICANs

An organization known as the Amsri- can Aid society has been in existence in Paris for two years. Its object is the American army and the furnishing of pecuniary assistance to needy Ameri- cans, says LLe Figaro, Paris.
 This society, under the energetic di- rection of Commandant COtchett, has made public interesting details of it's ac- tivities in the year 1923. In that period it answered 2,27 appeals for help and repatr6iated 7S American citizens. It gave assistance to 488 worthy persons, sent 551 to hospitals, turned over to the Salvation Army 300 persons who were without funds, and has been ob- liged to confide only some two dozen undesirables to the police.
 At the present time this society is providing food and work for eleven Americans stranded in Paris without friends or relatives, the youngest. of whom is more than 70 years of age.
 The society has been hampered in its efforts by lack of funds, having had at it's disposal last year only 120,000 francs, contributed by friends and busi- ness houses in Paris. This year it hopes to be able to repatriate 150 ex- soldiers and the members of their families, an undertaking which will cost about 100000 francs.
 Every American should certainly be glad to give any assistance in his pow CT to so worthy an enterprise. The American Aid society has authorized its treasurer. Pendleton Beckley, vice presi- dent of the American Chamber of Con- merce in Paris. to receive all contri- buttons.
