" HERE has been a dearth of art
events of note in Washington
during the past week. and the
present prospect for the COM
Ing season is not particularly
nromisjnc. However. the season Is
still Young and none can foretell whal
NAV not materialize unheralded.
Rv all means the most interesting
assured event Is the Pennel1 memorial
exhibition, which is to be held In the
Library Of Congress. under the
auspices of the print division. before
many weeks. This exhibition Will
come directly to Washington from
New York. where it will have frst
showing in the Metropolitan Museum.
1t will l,e supplemented here ny Ger
tain Pennell works, probably 1ncluo
ing books written and illustrated D!
him. which belong to the Library OF
Congress.
The brilliant success and the hisn
standard of artistic excellence attain
ed by the musical festival recently
held in. the Library Of Congress Me-
mortal Auditorium, under the auspices
of the department Of music. give ad-
ditional emphasis to the opportunity
afforded those of public spirit and
large means to similarly endow the
division of prints. or department OF
fine arts. which is capable OF no less
noteworthy development.
The division of prints was organ
lied under the direction of the late
A. J. Parsons. who for considerabie
number of years held the position OF
chief of the division. Mr.. Parsons
was a lover OF prints. keenly sensitive
to beauty in art. a connoisseur,
man of means. and In serving as the
head of the division Of prints he per.
formed a labor Of love and rendered
public spirited service. Because of his
own enthusiasm ari interest. he Sc
cured the interest of others and so
induced well known collectors not
only to make generous gifts, but to
deposit their collections for safe keep
ing with the Library. Among the
givers was the late Gardiner Green
Hubbard. father Of the late Mrs.
Alexander Graham Bell. Among the
collections deposited was that of the
CARROTS of Baltimore. From these
collections. Of which the Library took
precious care. the division was per
mitted to make selection for the pur-
pose Of exhibition. Thus really not
able series of exhibitions Of extreme
ly rare and valuable prints was put
ON from time to time. Also. it may he
recalled that the late Crosby w.
Noyes' collection of Japanese prints
and art objects, which he had person
ally collected in Japan. was given to
the Library while Mr.. Parsons was
chief Of the division OF prints, and
constituted very real attraction to
the Library during the entire Winter
that 1t was on view. It was about
this same time that the Italian and
French governments presented to

| After Mr.. Parsons death his place
was taken by Richard A. Rice. former

| College, who. like Mr.. Parsons, was
| a connoisseur Of art and served be-
cause Of his love Of the service. Since
his death about two years ago the
position has been vacant. The salary

! ment in itself. and men like Mr..
Parsons and Prof. Rice are far to
seek. 1t would be possible to endow
this Office in the same manner that
A chair is endowed in a university,
and It is earnestly to be hoped that
some one will be moved to do so In
the near future.

INTENTION was made in these
AVA columns last week Of notable
series Of print exhibitions to be held
during the Winter. month by month,
in the Smithsonian Building, under
the auspices of the division of graphic
arts of the National Museum. .
Other exhibitions OF prints of special
interest will be held In the Dunthorne
Galleries on Connecticut avenue. Tho
first of these will consist OF Golden

hibition of etchings Of Paris, the
works of various well known artists,

Toledo, Ohio, Dec, II fP}-Another
 chapter in the legal battle for con- trol of the Goodyear Tire and Rub
 Der company of Akron and its s200,-
 000,000 in assets was opened in

 The present suit is the fourth ac- ton involvin-; control of Goodyear now pending ir the courts.

A third action brought by the Summit county prosecutor and involving the 1923 refinancing settlement is in the state supreme court.

 AT WORD WORK
Certainly Will Not Take Up
 Manual Labor, He Says

New York, Dec. 10 R-Not only is Count Ludwig Hoogstraeton not going into European exile at the $50O,000 behest of his father-in-law, but he plans to settle right down here and go to work. Oh. almost any kind of work, except of course work with the hands.
 The count, who has been as silent as the other interested parties since adjournment in midfight of his se- paration action against Millicent Rogers, Standard Oil heiress, gave rise to the rumors of a financial settlement, revealed something of his plans today over the telephone to a reporter asking him about ten his.
 Yes" he answered the first ques- ton, T have been invited to play tennis, and I expect to do so soon. But now, I am looking for work. I would be glad to do any kind of work at all-except hand york;
 What do you mean hand work?"
 "Why, work with the hands, man. ual labor, you call it. I would be glad to go into any honest business or public service, and I am happy to say that I have some offers and expect to decide soon. It is not true that do not like to work.
 How about professional ten"
 "But have never heard of the re- port about a settlement except from the newspapers any my lawyers have ordered me not to talk about the euit in any way"
 "Oh. yes" the suit. But are you going into any indoor tennis tourna- ments-''
 ,s- ''The lawyers on the other side only consented to an adjournment, so that I could get witnesses to my ability to care for my child, Peter. There was nothing else.
 No, am not thinking of tourna- ments. If play it will be for ex- orcise. The only exercise I have had so far has been in going to my law yer's and going in and out of court rooms. But I shall not enter pro- fessional tennis. I prize my amateur status.
 T learned to play when I was a small boy. and was champion of the Austrian army when in my teens, and ever since then the game has been my chief pleasure. It is not for money making"

MANY DIFFER 0N
 RELIGIOUS VIEWS
Some Believe in Anything, While One Man Believes in Nothing

A wide variation in replies 10 the religious questionnaire which the Herald has published this week in cooperation with 150 other news papers throughout the United States has been noticed here.
 Although there was little interest in the census in New Britain and only 56 people sent in their replies, these replies indicated much differ ence in opinion.
 Three persons in the entire 56 stated that they did not believe in God. One man refused to answer, but sent in his questionnairc. One man answered No" to every ques- tion except the one asking if he would be willing to have his family grow up in community in which there was no church. To this ques- tion he replied in the affirmative. To question No. 12, Do you think re- lsion In some form is a necessary element of life for the individual and for the community" he replied
