architectural majesty Of the United States
Capitol seen looking up the long fight Of steps
from the Peace Monument.
The chief impression made by these prints
il their superb draughtsmanship. Mr. Hutty
achieves his effects throughout with line rather
than tone. Glimpses Of the distant sea, OF
mountains far-reaching plains casually seen
through the branches Of a tree) are all re-
corded by line and careful perspective The
lightness and grace Of Mr.. HuttyS touch may
obscure at first glance his strength and variety.
BY varied pencil strokes, he has differentiated
the woody hair, the wrtnkled brown skin and
the worn but neatly brushed coat OF Deacon
Thomas Christian" This Is one Of the most
engaging of his portraits Of old-time Southern
Negroes. Mr. Hutty has for some years had

milieu and testineS to his love of it. The exhi-
bition will remain open for another week.
THE industrial arts section of the Mexican
Exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery Of Art
is proving popular with the public. But many
preconceved notions are being shattered by
various groups of these applied arts which
there has been opportunity to mention
heretofore. The zarapes, coverlets, ayates and
other types of textiles hanging on the atrium
walls and over the grand stairway have intri-
cate and wonderful designs, in beautiful soft
colors but not single example of the striped
zarapes dear to the hearts of tourists as "typi-
cally Mexican" For it is said a native Mexican
would not wear one. The designs Of those on
view are of combined inspiration from very
ancient sources, some even from Africa.
Count d'Harnoncourt tells many interesting
stories Of items in the exhibition, but none
stranger than one concerning the lacquer ware.
Patzcuaro was at one time the seat of produc-
ton of the finest lacquer in Mexico, decorated
with intricate designs in colors and gold leaf.
But the craft died out nearly a century ago,
and when he visited the district to see what
remained he found only that the people re-
nembered their neighborhoods reputation, but
the secret had been lost Old recipes for the
lacquer and pigments were discovered, how
ever, and a young man, Salvador Solchaga,
whose grandfather or great-grandfather had
made such lacquer, consented to attempt
reconstruction Nearly year was required to
assemble the materials, quartz ochre, the
grease from pulyerized insects and other ingre-
dents. When he first undertook the decoration

rearranged in gallery A, with one new painting
by the artist, a New York scene, vibrant with
the essence of the metropolis, its clangor and
its cIose-crowding, soaring walls, snufing out
the individuality of mere humans.
THE etchings in colors by Dorsey Potter Tyson
of Baltimore, now view at the new
Dunthorne Gallery, constitute gay and charm
ing exhibition. They are of Chinese subjects,
done in the Chinese manner, and bear str1k-
ing similarity to the work Of Elyse Lord. Mr..
Tyson spent q number of years in the Orient,
acquiring direct inspiration. But, like Miss Lord,
he must have produced his plates from an
imaginative conception Of China, such as one
might derive from contact with its ancient art,
poetry and past history. THE Princess" Pea
cock Fan" and Dragon Boat Festival" for in
stance appear to be memories OF glamorous
past, while such subjects as Chinese Gong,
"Song of the Wood Wind" and Bright Sails,
possible as they may be to contemporary China,
seem to bear no relation to its present broken
spirit In a country as old as China, however,
the spirit of it's art seems to be reality One
has q conviction that its anarchy-ridden periods
are merely temporary phases The nation Is
like one of its old proverbs: 1.-THE lotus is more
than the mud from which 1t springs, and TO
which it will return" Mr.. TySon's etchings
are felicitousIy framed in red lacquer, which
enhances the light reds, yellows and bue-greens
of the color schemes
MORE than 60 etchings, drypoints and draw
ings are on view at the Corcoran Gallery
of Art in the exhibition by Alfred Hutty set
forth in the atrium cases. Others, not shown
Il because of lack of space, may be seen upon
application at the directors office, on the first
floor.
The exhibition is retrospective Of the produc-
ton of Mr. Hutty during approximately 10
wears he has been working in the etching
medium and not a few Of the prints are old
friends, having been shown here previously,
some of them in exhibition at the Dun
thorne Gallery in January, 1925. Several of the
etchings which have received high awards for
the artist are included in the current show
"Windswept" "Sycamores" and Little Italy"
and also Beverly Beeches," one of the etch-
ings selected to represent this artist In the
group of American prints shown by the Amer
lean Federation of Arts in Florence, Italy, 1927,
at the Second International Exposition of
Modern Engraving, and at the Bibliotheque
Rationale in Paris, 1928.
The prevalence of trees as subjects is due to
the artists great love Of them His portrait
and figure studies and architectural renderings,
however, are equally sensitive and accurate.
There are four drawings Of nudes exceptionally
well done Mr.. Euttys facile technique is fully
adequate to convey varieties Of texture from the

in character, but there Is no lack Of vitality
in the works shown. particularly engaging

has marked rhythmic quality. This artist
makes q speciality of interpreting Negro spirituals

Portrait Of My Mother" by Archibald Motley,
have q posterlike character noticed in many
works by younger artists contributed to recent
exhibitions. Several attractive little harbor
scenes were sent from France by Palmer Hay

HEALTH SCHOOL
IS URGED

With DR.. Frank w. Ballou,
superintendent of schools, advo-
eating a policy of "hands off
disqualification" in the public
schools, the special committee on
handicapped children will be
asked Monday to approve a re-
port recommending construction
of a, new school for tuberculous
children.
This plan is directly opposed
to DR.. Ballou's policy wherein he
contends that disqualification lies
outside school jurisdiction.
The report recommends con.
struction of a new building to
replace the Toner Health School
for colored tuberculous children.
DR.. Ballou declares the need
for the health schools will be
minimized on completion of the
Children's Sanatorium for which
plans are now being made. This
sanatorium, which will be situated
on the Defense Highway, will &C
commodate 1853 children. There
are 1877 tuberculous children on

EQUALITY. ASKED
IN RELIGION

Belief in the equality Of all re-
ligions instead of attempts at en-
forced conversion was advocated
last night by Rabbi Abram Simon,
addressing the Washington He
brew Congregation.
Respect for all other religions
and desire that every faith enjoy
it's development and enrichment
instead of criticism and jealousy,
was pointed out as the means to
general good will.
Rabbi Simon asSailed Christian
attempts at Jewish conversion
when "the situation in Protes-
tanism is so precarious." He
asked:
"Is the Protestant church in
such an enviable and impreg-
nable position today as to justly
its wholesale claims Of superb
Ority to Judaism, and its sac
charine expression Of amiable
good will and its belief in its
own indestructibility?

elusive road to salvation"
