Direction of Winds
Is Marked by Trees

The effect Of prevailing winds upon
trees, which Is evident from the in
fiuence on their growth, was described
recently in "Tycos." Of the Taylor In
strument Co. Prof. j. Fruh, who made
study Of this phenomenon some years
ago, classified the typical forms Of wind
twisted trees and from these the direc-
ton Of prevailing winds can be de-
termined by observing tree growth,
The classes are as follows:
/. Trunk vertical, but without
branches on the side facing the wind
2. Top Of trunk inclined In the di-
rection of the prevailing wind. Grown
non symmetrical: more inclined on the
side sheltered from the wind.
3. Whole tree inclined and stunted
When growing in clumps the trees and
bushes almost lie on top Of one an.
other. Their dimensions decrease a,

THE Society of Washington Artists
l. thirty-eighth annual exhibition
opens to the public this afternoon in the
Corcoran Gallery Of Art, where it may
be seen for four weeks. A private view
was held yesterday afternoon. Oil paint
ings ana works in sculpture are tnclud-
ed, the former constituting the major
portion Of the exhibition, which Is set
forth in the two upper galleries to the
right and left of the main staircase
and, in the case Of sculpture, in the
atrium at the head of the staircase,
making an admirable display.
This exhibition was assembled and
hung too late to be adequately reviewed
at this time, but full review with Illus
trations will appear in these columns
next week. Meanwhile IL should be
known that in many respects this Is the
best showing that the Society of wash
ington Artists has made for many years,
and that the works set forth are not
only charming but admirable - full Of
color, fresh, competent and unusual;
worthy not only OF attention but acqui-
sition. Washington has every reason to
be proud of its artist colony and OF
their annual showing.

BLOCK prints by Charles W. Smith
~ of Richmond, Va, and silhouettes
by Bruce Wallace, formerly Of New
York, now of this city, are to be seen
in the lower rooms at the Arts Club.
Mr. Smith is former pupil Of Rich
ard N. Brooke. He also studied under
Sergt. Kendall and under NJ Ligeron,
Paris. His work is good and delightful.
He evidently knows the limitations as
well as the potentialities of the medium
he employs. His rendition Of historic
buildings, his picturing Of quaint street
scenes and his Interpretation OF figures
are admirable. OF special charm is his
print entitled Marketing" Others OF

once used by Washington as headquar-

The silhouettes by Bruce Wallace
have a certain daintiness as well as
stability, are accurately cut or painted,
and essentially characteristic. Mr..
Wallace has exhibited In New York,
Baltimore and Philadelphia, as well as
here. In 1912 he won the Beaux Arts

examples OF an art which dates back
to the Middle Ages, but for many years
has fallen into disuse. Wax miniatures
were produced by Patience Wright in
Pennsylvania in the second half OF the
eighteenth century, some of which still
survive and are treasured heirloons in
old Philadelphia families.
Miss Mundy's work Is combination
of sculpture and painting, for the like
nesses that she makes are modelled in
low relief and are beautifully colored.
Her detail Is exquisite and her portraits
have individuality and spirit. Especial
ly pleasing are her portraits OF children
and Of elderly persons, which are rem
dered with rare sympathetic UNDER
standing.
1t has been truly said that wax as
a medium for portraiture Is capable OF
the most delicate modelling, and when 1t
is used in color the most exquisite re-
suits are possible. But no medium Is
answerable for result It IL the gift OF
the artist which shines forth through 1t.
This fact in the present instance IS
especially patent.

which the Georgian slowed up
in the later stages would indi-
cate that it was not an entirely
manufactured alibi.

Stribling scored repeatedly with
a rapier- like left jab, and in
variably beat Sharkey to the
punch with his right. At one
time in the fourth it seemed
the Georgian had Jack more
than a little worried, for his
customary look of nonchalance
gave way to a haraSSed express
sion, but the Boston tar came
back fresh and strong for the
fifth.

of condition by the manner in
which he absorbed the really
vicious jolts that Stribling con-
tinued to land Sporadically

he was fading a bit, but al

sion, while Stribling's cheek

cred with red patches and his
mouth bleeding, Sharkey had to
admit he found in the Macon
tie anything but a soft OPP
ponent.
Sharkey unquestionably
emerged from the conflict with
wholesome respect for the
proves of his lighter opponent
and we are not so sure that
come another year the more
youthful southerner will not be
able to reverse the verdict, pro-
vided he gets the chance.
For the time being Sharkey will
have to be regarded as the leading
pretender for the throne Tunney

he is far from being real, high
