We were asked that night to go out and call
on ex-President Gales (called Ki-ess) Now
there is remarkable man, really big man,
one of the few able men during our generation,
That sounds pretty windy, don't it? Well, it's
true, if ever single man kept country in
check it's this man Gales. No dictator Don't
want to be President again. He simply wants
his country to have peace and they know he is
a real patriot, and not one of those idealists
Mexico has had plenty of men that meant well,
had certain ability, but lacked the real
spark and the downright nerve mean polti-
cal nerve, and physical nerve. Well, this fellow
has it.
Both Roach and Pedley said they had never
in their lives met public man that any more
impressed them than he did Now Mexico
don't want any trouble, and the few that do
want to make 1t are held in check by this man.
I was pleased when went in that he gave me
the embrace" or embrace, where each of you
put your arms over the others shoulders into a
kind of pat of embrace, and it's only among
particular friends. Well, swelled up till he
couldn't hardly embrace me.

showed 1t to us in getting permission to cross.
You know this taking plane into another
country is not like driving a f1ivver IN, there
is more to it.
We hit Torreon about LOO miles from Los
Angeles, that night hit the field after dark
and had to throw out flare. 1t's kind of a
lamp OF thing, fastened onto silk parachute
and goes down and lights up the field.) It only
costs $40, so it pays to get in by daylight That's
very pretty, and clean, prosperous little city.
Then the next day over the mountains to Mex
leo City. Oh yes, like to forgot, we, on the
first day circled over the Hearst ranch Il had
been down there couple of weeks before).
It's wonderful place, one million acres, so
thousand cattle. We would have liked eo landed
there, but the ground looked wet from lot of
rains. But the great view of aviation Is
the sight of the valley of Mexico City, It's
eight thousand feet high and still valley, with
the old volcano Of Popocatepetl smoking nearby.
1t was good to see old friends who had met
on previous visits, mostly when T was there
with Ambassador Morrow Things are fine
there, of course the usual hard times of all ma
tions, but no more than us, or the rest.

A dUCH interest is being shown in the Wash
iNi ington Water Color Clubs Thirty y-sixth
Annual exhibition, which opened 10 days ago
at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and several
sales have been made. The consensus of
opinion is that the club has shown no more
interesting meritorious exhibition for years
than this. Certainly it is both extremely varied
and upheld to high standard The pat
ronage of local artists is perhaps the surest
way of creating local art center, for as Ed
ward Arlington Robinson once said, THE
artist must have his opportunity or he will
die and his art will perish with him" With
out the artist there would be no art Wash
ington water colorists have for many years
now stood with the best. The current exhi-
btion proves the rule

ings, photographs and architectural rem

this exhibition lecture was given on Tuesday
evening in the Fine Arts Building 2101 G.

have been shown in the Academy of Fine Arts,

IT is great qualification to Washingtonians,
as we'll as to Baltimoreans, that the Walters
Gallery, through the generous bequest of it's
owner, has become the property of the City
of Baltimore for the benefit of the public In
cluded in Mr.. Walters bequest was not only
his entire art collection and the gallery which
he himself erected, but also the adjoining resi-
dence and the gallery built by his father He
also left an endowment fund for its upkeep
estimated at about two and half million dol
lars OF which trust fund was created
This gallery, heretofore, has been open to
the public on only two days week in January
February March and April, when a fee was
charged for admission, the returns from which
went to the Baltimore poor fund. Mr. Walters
In his will left one-haf of his estate to the
Family Welfare Association of Baltimore prob

the gallery to the public might incur in this
direction.

That's before daylight. Now that's what I call
