New York Show NearS.
Over 200 entries in the New York air
show model airplane contest have been
received, IL was announced today. Finals
in the various contests, which will be
started within two weeks, will be held
at Madison Square Garden during May
) to 10, the week of the air show.
Among the many entries in the scale
model contest Is one from a boy IN On
tario. Canada. The scale models will
be judged by O committee headed by c.
8. Casey" Jones, president of the Cur
tiss.-Wright Flying Service, and will be
displayed at the air show.
Cooperating with the American Sky
Cadets In staging the contest are the
Associated Aviation Clubs, Avio Graphic
Junior Aviation Club, Junior Aviation
League Ok ENCW 1Vkhs ACHtOH fAn IN
diets and the New York Boys Clubs.
The flying events will consist of con-
tests for stick" and Commercial
models.
The great increase in interest and In
the number of model aircraft flyers
taking part in the city meets has led
to the study of new methods of ham
ding the contests, in order that they
may run smoothly, every flyer. being
given q fair chance to see what he can
do with his plane and every type of
plane tested under the most favorable
conditions.
The rules here given will be tried
90 on Saturday at Boiling Field, with
the cooperation and advice OF the per-
sonnet at the field. Other plans are I'M
der consideration. Each flyer who has
already registered for the 1890 tourna-
ment has been assigned a number. To-
day there are IS entrants, and there is
no knowing how many will register on
Saturday.
Running an aircraft meet Is even
more dlfiicult than most types Of con-
tests, because each type of plane re-
quIres special conditions for launching
and changing in wind may alter condi-
tons In the midst of a meet. Also each
of these flyers must learn not only the
technique of launching his plane, but
1t must be remembered that each flyer
has built his own plane, with often
many hours of careful and delicate
work Model aircraft is not a game, but
q highly technical study.
Rules for flying in outdoor contests:
/. A time limit will be set, after which
flyers may not register for the days
contest
2. A number is assigned to each flyer,
under which he will fly throughout all
contests of the 1880 tournament.
3. Flyers will be divided into small
groups, perhaps five in number, and
each group will be headed by an ace.
4. A definite section of the field will
be assigned to each group. and the ace
will thus be captain of q section of the
meet

Buckets of burning kerosene and the
beams from automobile headlights are
used for landing field illumination for
night flights by officers at the Naval
Air Station, Seattle. Wash, in the alb
sence of regular lighting equipment.
Various makeshift lighting schemes
were used, three automobiles being used
at first. located in a large triangle with
their light converging ct the center of
the field. Buckets filled with kerosene
and waste were used next, and finally
the combination of the two was used
and proved successful

ture were wound with ropes of laurel
The laurel also was festooned in the
various exhibit rooms.
An orchestra provided music during
the evening.
The biennial exhibition and accom-
panying awards are the joint enterprise
Of the late Senator Clark of Montana
and his widow. Senator Clark provided
fund in 1921 from which the prizes
are awarded, and Mrs. Clark, in 1927,
established fund for meeting expenses
Of the exhibition. Surplus income from
the endowments may be used for the
acquisition of American works of art.
In order to give the public generally
an opportunity to constitute itself as
an art jury, the Corcoran Gallery has
set aside the week beginning December
90 for a popular referendum on the ex-
hibited works. The pictures selected by
the visitors as the most popular will re-
ceive q special award Of 5000. The pur-
pose of this prize, 1t was announced, Is
to stimulate interest and encourage the
public to study the exhibition. In the
past the popular award always has gone
to paintings not chosen by the jury Of
artists for the formal w. A. Clark
to good pictures.
hOurS OF EXnlDltlOns
The public will be admitted to the ex-
hibition on Mondays from IL to 4:30
o'clock in the afternoon and on other
week days from o'clock in the morn
ing until 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon.
On Sundays, and ON New Year day,
the hours will be from to O'Clock in
the afternoon. The exhibition will be
closed to the public Christmas day.
AS a special concession to those un-
able to attend during the week day
schedule Of hours, the Corcoran Gallery
has arranged for special night showings
from to 1920 o'clock on December
4. IL and 10, and on January 8.
A beautifully illustrated catalogue Of
the exhibition has been printed to en-
able visitors to identify the exhibits
AS has been its custom In the past,
the Public Library has inserted In the
catalogue pamphlet containing detail
ed photographed data in connection
with contemporary American painters
whose works are included in the exhi-
bition. BY reference to this pamphlet
persons interested in studying the
careers of these artists may consult
books, magazine articles or other literary
material pertinent to the inquiry.

COLONIAL PRINTS
TOBE SHOWN HERE
Yale University Pictures Of
Early America in Display
at Library.

A picture history of early America
and her traditions, military and civil,
will be placed on display by the fine
arts division of the Library of Congress
in the form Of an exhibit of $50 rare
old prints from the collection of the
Mabel Brady Garvan Institute of Amer
lean Arts and Crafts at Yale University.
It is the first exhibit of these rare
old prints by the institute, and affords
Washington an excellent opportunity to
see the work of the greatest engravers
of this country and England. The col
lection to be shown at the Library OF
Congress was carefully selected from
about 5000 prints relating to American
history owned by the institute.
To students of Washington there is
especial attraction in the large number
of prints of Gen. Washington. In the
collection is the famous mezzotint
printed in colors Scraped by Valentine
Green in 1871 from the washington
portrait by Col. John Trumbull. That
portrait gave a virile Washington, not
the war-weary man depicted by Gilbert
Stuart and Savage. Engravings from
these latter painters works will be dis
played near the Green print.
There are many prints dealing with
events Of the Revolution, naval en-
gagements of the War of 1912 and with
everyday life in early days of the
Republic
The exhibit has been arranged by
r. T. H. Halsey Of Annapolis The
collection was gathered under the ex-
pert advice of Russell w. Thorpe and
Is under supervision of H. Emerson
futile, curator Of prints at Yale Uni
versity.

self accused of secretly accommodating
arms for war Of revenge, was voiced.
again by the defense minister, Gen.
Wilhelm Groener. in q statement issued
tonight.
Enumerating the vast quantities Of
arms and munitions destroyed and the
strongholds dismantled to conform with
the versailles treaty, Groener said,
these exorbitant requirements imposed
upon the German people demands Of
discipline and restraint which were full.
fillable only because behind these re-
quirementS stood solemn engagements
for disarmament.
What do we find? Twelve years
after the general limitation Of arnla-
mentS was proclaimed we find that more
money is spent upon ornaments than
before the World War and that armies
on peace footing in Europe, excluding
those Of the central powers, are
stronger by half million men,"
Fresh Excuses Found.
Groener declared certain nations
were always finding fresh excuses for
increasing ana perfecting their arma-
mentS and sabotaging disarmament.
The allegations Of the past IL years
about our secret ornaments remain I'M
proven" he said. They were based
merely upon the propaganda Of In.
formers and caluminators."
Referring to "theoretic possibilities'
OF converting existing plants to war
uses, he said:
1T took Americans, with their highly
developed industry, IL months to pro.
duce the f1rst shell Of the World War.
and 1t was 10 months before the FIRST
piece OF heavy ordnance could be de.
livsred from their new material"
OF what use Is the best-euuipped
soldier II he has only dummy tanks
against 1000 real ones Of the enemy?
How can the German army be a men
ace to the French when It has only
2S8 field guns against $1,000 light and
heavy guns Of France?
Our defense budget has been cited
as proof OF our warlike intentions BY
comparing to the pre-war budget. /
can only say, let us be allowed to drop
the expensive army system imposed
upon US by the Versailles treaty and
then we shall no longer be forced to
spend skiold pay, fourfold mainte-
nance and threefold other expenditures
In comparison with our pre-war con.
script army.
Enlargement of Peace.
Disarmament has been proclaimed
to secure peace, but peace Is endan-
gered so long as disarmament IL con.
fined to one country, which Is left de-
fenSelesS against enemy invasion. The
German army Of 100000 is faced In
the west by 100000 actives, Of which
$4,000 are professionals. and In the
east, Poland and Czechoslovakia, by
100000 actives, Of which $4,000 are
professionals. Our neighbors, more.
over, are able to put into the field
S,000,00 reserves, while Germany q
deprived Of all means for giving its
population military training.''

ECCENTRIC WORKS
PART OF ART SHOW
Twelfth Biennial Exhibition of
Contemporary American Oil
Painting Open to Public

The Twelfth Biennial Exhibition of
Contemporary American Oil Paintings,
which opened in the Corcoran Gallery
Of Art last evening with a private
view, will undoubtedly prove both en-
tertaining and bewildering to the
public. It is said to illustrate COM
pletely cross currents which collectively
constitute the great stream OF con-
temporary painting in America, and to
be above all things UP to date. II this
Is so the present outlook is far from
encouraging, for although there are
many excellent paintings set forth, a
large proportion of those shown are
chiefly notable for eccentricity.
Heretofore the test of work OF art
was its intrinsic beauty, its power to
delight the eye and inspire the OBJ
server. The great works OF art which
generations have agreed to admire have
come within this category, and 1t is
hard to believe that a painting, piece
of sculpture or an architectural design
which does not fulfill these conditions
can find immortality. But 1t must be
admitted that much of the art of today
is not beautiful, inspiring or inclined
to advance civilization, but depends
largely for favor upon its power to
shock and startle. Those influences
which have given us clashing discord
in music, grotesque forms in archl-
lecture and interior decoration, sordld
crudities in literature and the drama,
could not have failed to have an effect
Ueon the art of painting. But there
has been a tendency on the part OF
the happy minded to disregard these
symptoms of a degenerate present and
regard them merely as passing phase,
The inevitable aftermath Of the great
war, o by-product Of unenforced pro-
hibition, an era of lawlessness.
Modernistic Exhibition.
When 1t was known that the Cor
moran Gallery had invited as jury OF
lelection and award five artists, four
AZ whom are regarded as traditional
lists, It was reasonably supposed that
the present exhibition would be con-
servative in character, but strangely
enough it is the most moderntstic ex-
hibition that not only this gallery has
ever set forth, but that has been shown
In this country, with the exception OF
the no-jury exhibitions in New York,
and the prize awards were, almost
without exception, made to works in
the new manner-works in which the
average layman will find little to
admire.
The reason for this is perhaps, after
all, not far to seek. The fact that the
men on the jury of selection and award
were inherently conservative presum-
ably made them more lenient to
radicalism than had they been radical
themselves. Fearful lest they should
be accused of short-sightedneSs or
prejudice. they leant far to the other
side and admitted and rewarded works

Spring Guest Meals

At this time of the year there are
several treats that may be served at
guest rneals-among them asparagus,
strawberries, rhubarb and radishes.
They needn't be very expensive,
either, for you can make a little go a
long way with any of them. One bunch
of radisheS, for instance, If expensive,
can be made into little radish roses to
garnish salad. One bunch of aspara-
gus may be served, creamed On toast,
with only three stalks TO a guest.
There are other ways of making as
paragus go far. You can serve three
stalks for each guest on the plate with
lamb chops and potatoes. Thus, It seems
to go farther than when served on q
plate alone. Or you can make cream
asparagus soup of the tough parts of a
bunch and put the little, tender tips in
the soup plates.
Strawberries may be served with ice
cream or as part of a Shortcake to make
a few go far. The cake and whipped
cream add to their bulk and delicious
ness.
Rhubarh, II 1t is expensive, may be
served in small portions. Cut In short
lengths and carefully cooked, with a
little water, well sweetened and served
chilled in glass dessert dishes, sponge
cake passed with it, rhubarb is delicious.
