-HE current exhibition at the Arts
Club, comprising etchings by three
Washingtonians - Ellen Day Hale,
Gabrielle de V. Clements and Lesley
Jaekson-is of unusual interest be-
cause of the merit of the work shown
and account of the high regard felt for
the three artists themselves.
Miss Hale is the daughteS. Of the late Ed
ward Everett Hale, a representative of a dis
tinguished family. Philip Hale of Boston, well
known both a painter and a writer, whose
death occurred quite recently was her brother.
Whatever Miss Hale does-painting, etching,
writing-evidences a background of tradition
and reflects her own great personal charm.
Miss Clements has for some years made her
home with Miss Hale, Wintering in Washing
ton. Summering at Folly Cove on Cape Ann,
where each has studio, and her family roots
are in the South for she comes of an old
Charleston family and has many connections,
artistic and otherwise, in Baltimore. Miss
Clements has the distinction of having been
one of the first women in this country to take
up etching with success
Miss Jackson who it will be remembered, is
the daughter Of the late Rev. Sheldon Jackson,
is member of the local art organizations and
for some years was secretary of the Water
Color Club and always active in its interests.
She made her reputation as water colorist
and only within the last few years has turned
to etching under the influence of Miss Hale
and Miss Clements. working with them at
Folly Cove and independently here in Wash
ingtcn.
Even today there comparatively few
woman etchers, but the achievements of this
trio are far above the average. Miss Hale in
all her work displays sensitive touch and a
keen sense of artistic values. Miss Clements
has perhaps, a firmer line, and to her credit
stand number of large plates rendered with
complete mastery of medium. Lesley Jackson
evidences much the same qualities in her etch-
ingS that give value to her paintings-a nice
sense of composition, excellent choice of sub
ject, great sincerity in treatment and unity
Of effect. There is real loveness "a rare
quality these days. in Miss Jackson's etchings.
And what extraordinary variety there is in
the subject matter Local subjects abound,
such as Miss Jackgon's Capitol Dome and
Wharves," "St. Johns Church. "The Arch of
Connecticut Avenue Bridge" Monument and
Wharves,' etc. But there also are glimpses
of Jerusalem of Egyptian subjects, of Cicilian
themes, and then again finds ones self
back in our own Charleston, and happy to be
there. After all, it is not so much the sub
feet that counts as its artistic presentation.
1t is interesting to find in this collection an
etching made by Miss Clements in 1883 of
Rockport quarry, which holds its own today
with the best, not only in this local showing
but with the works of some of our foremost
etchers, a comparatively small, upright plate
beautifully rendered.
unique feature of this exhibition is
group Of work in color. Nearly 80 years ago
George Senseney, who at that time had been
studying under Howard Helmick made some
successful experiments in color etching here
Evening star., 1931-12-27

in Washington, and for a number of years he
stood almost alone as color etcher. year
ago William Meyerowitz included few color
etchfngs in his exhibition held here in the
Corcoran gallery. But with the etchers the
making of color plates has never been popular,
and there are not half dozen today who
employ this medium Under these circum-
stances it is the more remarkable that the
three women exhibiting here at this time
should show SO impressive and notable group
of color etchings. And each one seems to be
equally skillful in the manipulation Of the
color factor, although it is Miss Clements who
led the way.
Woodblock prints are quite common, but
woodblack prints produced in entirely
different manner, with fiat colors held within
definite boundaries. In color etching the line
alone is etched, the ground bitten" and the
color laid on more as in painting. There
are no sharp edges no clearly defined boun
diaries, therefore the color etching is the more
mellow and possesses to a much greater extent
the appearance of painting.
Very delightful in this group are Miss Hales
figure of young woman entitled The Old
Calash," Miss Clements etchings of Charleston
gardens and her remarkable etching of the
Choir Screen at Chartres"; Miss Jacksons
Fruit Carts and Patent Office" her study of
"Sparrows in Winter" and "Falukahs on the
Nile" to mention only few. No one who
has not experimental not only with etching
of such work-or perhaps also the joy.
Miss Hale, Miss Clements and Miss Jackson
all print their own plates. They are, there
fore, from first to last original and personal
expressions. To the print collector and the art
lover this joint showing of prints in black and
white and in color cannot fail to be found
exceedingly attractive.
THE exhibition of prints by Miss Hale Miss
Clements and Miss Jackson is to be seen
in the reception rooms at the Arts Club and
at the time water colors by Sara Bard
occupy the walls in the adjacent gallery. All
of these, 25 in number, strong, vigorous,
impressive works, done in the new manner
with straightforwardness and skill which are
very commendable For the most part they
are Summer pictures painted in Maine, giving
glinlpses of the rugged, rock-bound coast, its
deeply indented inlets, its little villages and
Summer life.
! frequently measure of his artistic stature
Certainly in the exhibition of drawings by Eu-
gene Speicher lately placed on view in the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, this will be found to
be the case. Nothing could be more represent
ative of the art of this distinguished painter
than these 40 drawings-igures, flowers and q
few landscapes, which now occupy the cases in
the Corcoran Gallerys upper atrium. They
are bold and vigorous, in many instances
honely and from the standpoint Of subject
unappealing, but they have style, they declare
themselves the work Of a master, one with
originality and command both of his medium
and his talent.
Eugene Speicher was born In Buffalo in 1883.

Porto Rican Grapefruit Shipments
And the Valley Quarantine

There remained to be shipped some 100000 boxes Of
grapefruit from Porto Rico on July /. according to a re-
cent commerce bulletin Of the United States Department
of Commerce.
The same bulletin also stated that during the month
OF June some $4,000 boxes of grapefruit were shipped
from that island possession of the United States.
Porto Rican grapefruit may be said truly to be IN di
rect competition with the Valley crop, for the Porto Rican
fruit most nearly approximates that Of the Valley in ex-
cellence of flavor, which cannot be said of grapefruit
grown in California and Of very little Of the Florida crop.
Growers Of citrus in Porto Rico have this decided adj
vantage over Valley growers-they are able to string out
their shipping season.
This s~tringing out is due, of course, in part to the
climate which brings their crop on the market at a differ
ent period Of the year than that Of the Valley.
On the other hand, the advantage which Valley grow
nrs would enjoy by a prolonged shipping season which
would enable them to keep their fruit on the tree during
the spring months has been denied them BY the federal
quarantine which says Your fruit must be off the tree on
the first day Of March"
Slight infestations of the Morelos fruit fly, some in
The Valley, more across the river, are responsible for this
quarantine which has worked untold financial damage to
Valley citrus interests during the years II has been in force.
With storage Of citrus fruits still in the experimental
stage, our growers are forced to dump their fruit on the
market regardless Of market conditions, regardless Of the
size of the crop thus dumped.
If the infestation Of the Morelos fly had been serious,
Valley growers would take this disadvantage with a smile,
confident that they were helping the industry as a whole
by their sacrifice.
However, Florida with a slight infestation Of the
Mediterranean fruit fly, was able to get its quarantine
lifted in IL months. We still labor under the irksome
terms Of our quarantine years after the first infestation was
discovered.
Valley citrus interests could do themselves no great
er good than to organize a determined fight for the loos-
sning Of the MoreIos fly quarantine or for its total removal

"HAA

The term "albuminuria" does not
describe a disease but a symptom.
Whenever the kidneys fail to func-

some protein passes out OF the blood

GREETED fluids. Under normal condi-
tons protein does not appear, only
water. salts and various other waste
products beii.g found in the fluid.
There are. OF course. conditions n
which the body tissues in the urinary
tract itself are damaged and the
by-products OF these tissues which
might appear in the fluid are also
responsible for the appearance or

Two Apologies in a Month to Mexico

Secy. Stimson is vacationing in Europe but this did not
prevent the American government, for the second time in
a month, from expressing regret to Mexico for the treat
ment Of Mexicans in the United States. An irate Judge in
the city of Chicago sentenced a Mexican consul to jail for
six months for contempt of court. This precipitated an
international row. Gov. Emerson Of Illinois sent a polite
message to the Chicago Judge. Well. the Judge dismount-
ed. He revoked the order. A dog berry was brought to
Judgment. Justice is sacred and not the judge. Pass it
