Carlsbad's Name
BOthers Czechs

Whether Carlsbad should be called
Karlovy Vary and Franzensbad should
be changed to Frantiskove Is still
bothering the minds OF the Czechs and
Germans in the cosmopolitan republic
of CZechoslovakia.
The population in these world-re-
nowned watering places Is German, but
the. Czechs still think it Is q question
Of prestige to advertise the two resorts
with the Czech spelling OF the old
Austrian names.
In 1928, the district political admin
istration ordered the hotels and amuse-
ment places to use the Czech language
in advertising and In receipts. pro-
grams and pamphlets. The cure as
sociations of the two towns appealed to
the courts.
After long litigation it now has been
decided that the town committed no
illegal act in advertising in foreign
papers in German, using the names
Carlsbad and Franzensbad.
The two health resorts are becoming
as popular as they were before the
war. AS the tourist trade Is becoming
one of the most important undertakings
in Europe. it is probable that the bust
nesSlike Czechs have decided It not
worth while to exaggerate the import
ance of the Czech language In this in
stance.
The old names of Carlsbad and
Franzensbad are already too well ad-
vertised to be scrapped.

THE American Federation of Arts,

city, is assembling at the present time
an exhibition of etchings. Autographs

be shown by invitation in the Victoria
and Albert Museum. London, for six
weeks. beginning approximately the
middle of May
This exhibition is to a great extent
the outcome of somewhat similar ex-
hibition that was held under the aus
pieces of the American Federation OF
Arts at the Bibliotheque Rationale In
Paris last Summer, in that instance an
exchange exhibition. for 1t will be
remembered that simultaneously and
under the same auspices an exhibition
of works by French artists was shown
in our Library OF Congress here.
Not only did the Victoria and Albert
Museum invite this exhibit, but 1t has
set aside its best gallery during the
height of the season for the showing.

Men Don Women's
Clothes to Get Jobs

An unusual problem is facing the
Toxic police department with the dis
covery that there are number Of the
mattresses" in cafes who are really
men working in disguise.
According to Junji Kaneko, high Of
fetal of the police board, under whom
the problem has been investigated, the
practice of men nasquerading as men,
bers of the opposite sex IS increasing.
1t is very easy. he points out, for
them to buy gay kimono, and so long
as they do not create any disturbances
they are very hard to detect. The
principal cause for this unusual situa-
ton is the extreme lack Of employment
for men.
The demand for girls to work in cafes
is fairly steady, and 1t is usually pos
Sible to get some sort of Job as
waitress If one Is at all good looking
and has attractive clothes.
Police regulations prohibit men from
assuming the roles Of women on moral
grounds.
The authorities have issued notices to
all cafe proprietors urging them TO CO.
operate in seeing that only bona fide
mattresses are hired.

sam-similarity which may be only a
matter OF merit-similar ability to see
and to MAKE manifest beauty Of like
sort, but which goes to prove to the
thoughtful observer kinShip OF all great
art. 1t is truly. as Saint Gaudens once
said, not what you do, but the way
you do 1t that signifies. Mr.. Pennells
way and also Mr.. Hassam's was and is
the way of the real artist-he who has
conquered medium and has something
to say.
In his last years Joseph Pennell took
up water color painting and made
number CT very charming essays In this
medium. Most of them were studies OF
New York City and Harbor as seen from
he windows of his Brooklyn Heights no.
tel. -Four of the water colors in this exhi-
bition are of New York Harbor subjects.
One of them, Statue of Liberty" is an
exquisite work showing in an extremely
small compass a spacious view OF water
and sky. with the Statue OF Liberty
holding the center of interest. such
view as one might have from high
window at great distance, and yet in
innate in appeal.
There is probably no artist in our
TINA who produced more prolifically
and who upheld more consistently a
high standard than Joseph Pennell.
When one thinks OF the books that he
illustrated. of the etchings that he
made, of the way he espoused the cause
of photography and revived interest in II
as an art and how finally he took to
water color painting and employed II
as a master would, it is marvellous in
deed.
We are fortunate in having In Wash
ington so many Of Mr.. Pennell's works
in the Library OF Congress- and the
time will come when the Library OF
Congress. through his endowment for a
museum of photographic, will be able
to issue at extremely low cost. for the
benefit of the art-loving public. prints
from his numerous beautiful plates, now
in the safekeeping Of the division OF
prints.
1t is a notable fact that though
Joseph Pennell's etchings and htho-
graphs now sell for high prices, he con-
sistently and continuously issued them
at an extremely low price-in many
instances at not more than $l2-n
order to make them available to those
of moderate means. No one was, in all
probability. a more severe and drastic
critic of our times and of our art than
Joseph Pennell. and yet from many
stardpointS there were few more patri-
otto, more public-spirited, more eager

painters extreme individuality of vision
and emphasizes the variety Of ways by
which capable artist may find ade-
quate expression. Miss Osgood paints
more broadly, with more strength and
far less subtlety. In her work the whole
story is told, well told, but without leav-
ing much to the imagination. She is
a good craftsman. capable painter,
and the works which she shows in this
exhibition indicate not only the pro-
fessional standard but definite progress
toward real achievement.
The majority of Miss Osgoods pic
lures, apparently painted in New Eng
land, are either of the seacoast or of
rolling hills. New England Hillside"
and September in the Hollow" are par
ticularly engaging. Her flower paint
ings, "Gladiolas and Delphinium" and

most comprehensive showing that Mr..
Brown has made. and 1t amply testlnes

the work deserved the honor, 1t is not
essentially better than its fellows in this

Tom Brown is North Carolinian.

81. 1881. He studied here at the Cor
coran School of Art. then under Fred
Wagner at the Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts, with Lester Stevens.
and finally under Edgar Nye. But while
he has learned from all these paint
ers, he initiates none. His work is eX-

doubtedly were Influenced by Monet,
though they never employed his method
of expression or affected his style.
Invariably Mr.. Brown uses color In
high key and renders with real subtlety
impressions of light through atmos-
phere, without strong demarkaticns OF
sunshine and shade. 1t is Springtime
that he interpretS most feelingly, most
sympathetically, when nature is re-
awakening from Winters sleep; but his
early Autumn pictures when the world
Is again seen through a veil Of haze
are equally significant and no less true.
Among his most interesting canvaSes
In this exhibition are The Little White
Tree" a Towering fruit tree seen
against a mass of fresh green Spring
foliage; his prelude to Spring" in
which a group of trees Quickening under
the warmth of Spring sunshine are
nicely indicated. and quite an elab-

Italy's Marble Sent
To American Mart

Marble is Italy's chief export and the
richest mineral product of Italian sub
soil. The best marble caves are those
in Tuscany, in the Apennine Mountains,
near Versilia, which were known to the
Romans who went there to extract the
pure white marble for monuments.
Michslangelo himself journeyed to Ver-
silia to select the marble blocks for his
masterpieces.
Eighty per cent Of Italy's marble out
put Is exported TO the United States for
use in private and public buildings
Two Oriental countries are now COM
peting with the United States, InGia
and Turkey, where much white marble
is worked exclusively by Italian inter-
estS.
