EaseIS Pushing Easy Aces
Out of the Lives of
Some Indiana Women.

Easy aces are being eased out of
the life of many Indiana housewives
by easels.
The oily gable of the bridge table
is being traded for the oil on cam
vas. Yesterdays golf bunker is now
a model for a first-class hill in
forest scene.
And the desire of the crayon kim
dergarten days of women to be able
to paint pictures is being given its
outlet at the Escuela De Aries,
Room l, 40 West Ohio street.
In good American. the studio on
West Ohio is the School of Arts,
but it is one of the few schools in
the nation where a tyro, a woman
who never has painted anything eX-
cept her cheeks, may learn to pat
oils on canvas without cost.
instruction Is Free
Instruction is free under the
schools head, Mrs Bertha Drake,
and only the canvas and oil used
is paid for by the student.
Approximately SiXty-five women
of indianapolis and the vicinity
have sworn off card parties, sewing
circles and golf Journeys to permit
their artistic talents free rein.
The fruit bowl of the dining
room comes to life on canvas as
the students are permitted to choose
the subjects of the pictures they
learn to paint.

ed that
always Liked to Paint"
Almost without exception the
housewives who attend the school
of art are answering an urge that
was strong in childhood but wiped
out by the routine of living.
II always liked to paint as girl,
but never had the time for it. Now,
my children are growing up and
don't need me so much, and I've got
a chance to do what I've wanted to
do they say.
The school is a chubby sort of
affair. No rules. They work as long
as they wish. If they've just got to
get home to bake a cake for supper,
they leave their canvas until an
other day.
One 76-year- old woman comes
from Jeffersonville to receive in
structions. Of and on through
life she's painted, but now in her
winter years she feels the need
stronger.
Lot Better Than Slam
She has no desire of being a
Gauguin. a Corot, nor does Mrs.
Emmett Ralston, wife of the vice
president of the Indianapolis Pow
er and Light Company, or Mrs.
Charles Miller of Anderson, whose
husband is with the Miller Tire
and Rubber Company. Mrs. Will
liam F. Gansberg, 2468 North
Meridian street, also is a men,
Der of the group.
But they are painting things that
will live at least in the minds and
hearts of their friends and fam

And that's a lot better than
making a grand slam at bridge"
they say as they hurry from kitch-
en- aprons or house frocks into
painting smocks.

Prince Georges County Seeks
Money to Dredge AnaCostia
Rivers Eastern Branch

Senator Millard Tydings CD
Of Maryland has renewed the
fight of Prince Georges county
to obtain funds from the Public
Works Administration for dredg-
ing the Eastern Branch Of the
Anacostia River at BladenSburg
to prevent flooding of the Bal
timore washington Boulevard
and the Defense Highway.
He has forwarded to the district
engineer for the Washington area
the plea of the Prince Georges
County Citizens Association citing
the necessity for this dredging,
and has suggested the work might
be done with either civil works or
public works administration funds.
Although the Federal Govern
ment already has been asked by
Maryland congressional members
to undertake this work, no action
has been taken.
In his request for the funds,
Senator Tydings explained that
the dredging would relieve the
towns of Bladensburg, HyattSville
and Riverdale from flood damage.
He said:
"There is no question about
the need for this improvement,
for it not only causes much
damage to local property but it
is a hindrance to traffic on the
direct route leading from the
North to the South. AS mat
ter of fact, the floods are fire.

tirely impossible until the
