OF LUSTY ROMANCE

fastidious reading public.
He leaves Scarlet Sister Mary"
another Gullah negress, pale and
painting. His story rises and
swells to heights of barbaric
beauty and then as suddenly
swoops downward to an almost
frightening brutality, and yet it
is all so unbelievable that his
spell is binding.
Briefly, the story concerns a
coffee-colored girl from the sea-
islands and an arrogant young
buck who couldn't make up his
mind. Marriage was the right
thing for "Lasses" and the right
thing for ''Tater," but with the
distractions of the pale yellow

Of promiscuouS love-making, it

AUTHOR LOOKS DOWN

Travis Ingham, who first saw
the light of day in nearby Balti-
more, changes the locale to New
Hampshire in young Gentlemen
Rise," which might be taken as
a biographical novel.
Not only does the story spring
forth from a reunion in New
Haven, where Mr.. Ingham proudly
graduated from Yale in 1923, but
the narrative includes a trip to
Europe which Mr.. Ingham like
wise took.
His is the ebullient spirit fos-
tered by the far-famed plastic
age," embellished with a kind of
grim good humor. He goes to a
class reunion. He rests on the
old blue window seat. He pushes
open the easement and he looks
down the years, not only on his
college career, but backward to
his birth.
He recalls his early growing
pains. the hopes and the fears
of prep school, the triumphs Of
adolescence. He goes to college.
He graduates. He gets q job.
He marrieS. He becomes a father.

The ladders on these are raised

ment needs two more, badly.
There are three aerial trucks
normally in reserve. Two Of these
are in use, owing to accidents.
There are seven pieces of appa,
ratus so old that the parts for them
have to be made by hand. The
manufacturers have gone out of
business. You can't buy parts in
the market. It costs almost as
much to repair them as it would
to buy new equipment. The chief
tells the story regularly when ap-
preparations are discussed, but
nothing happens. Congressional
committees and budget directors
are obtuse.
Sixty-four dollars a month was
the salary of a fireman in 1892.
It averages from $2,100 to $2,40O
now. They start them at $1,000.

and is disabled in addition, he can
be retired at any time. If not
disabled, he can retire after 30
years, when he reaches so. Widows
get the same sum as the widows
of policemen, with $40 extra for
each dependent child under 16.
Busy Days
Firemen in these days don't
have much time to play pinochle.
Besides putting out fires, the
brass has to be polished, the
floors scrubbed, and there are
setting-up drills morning and
night. Ten minutes twice a
day. It helps keep them in con-
dition. 1t is good discipline, too.
You catch a twinkle in the
chiefs weather eye when he talks
of discipline. Some of his critics
think he is too strict. They
criticiSe the trial board. They
don't like the drills. They think
a man ought to be able to take
a drink without getting demerits.
He can. if he isn't caught. If
they catch him, explanations
don't help.
When you smash the glass and
pull an alarm a light flashes in
the fire board headquarters in
the District Building. This room
is to the fire department what a
fire-control room is in a battle
ship. It is the place from which
everything starts.

Weep, Don't You Moan" a newly
released romance fresh from the
black belt. Nevertheless, it's no
secret that Richard Coleman, it's
27-year-old author, was born in
Washington, D. C.
Mr.. Coleman went to the pic
turesque Southern city in 1882 to
edit a now defunct weekly and
soon settled permanently, divid-
ing his time between the study Of
impressionistic writing, art and
medicine.
From the beginning he was
anxious to get beyond the gracious
veil Of Southern hospitality. He
looked over the aristocratic brick
walls and behind the stately box
wood and saw what lay beyond
And shortly thereafter he began
q full-flavored tale in startling
contrast to the Charleston of the
far-famed Manor House sorties.
He went to the very bottom Of the
black belt and caught the magic
Of its ever-shifting street scene.

mails are repeated) every engine
house in the District knows where
the fire is.
At Any Hour
From No. 2, on Twelfth Street
near G, just off the shopping
center, the chiefs car starts slowly
down to the District Building on
the first alarm. The first alarm
brings a battalion chief to the
scene. The second alarm brings
the chief. 1t finds him at his
office from 8:45 a. m. to AIS p. m.
He spends most of his evenings
at home. His car will be found
waiting for the second alarm. If he
goes to the movies, it picks him
up there. They always know
where he is.
You notice that the chiefs office
is in a corner of the building. He
can get out in a hurry if he has
to. AS you get up to go you notice
something else. A rubber coat
draped inside out over the back
of chair, ready to be slipped on.
Beside it pair of boots.

Describes
Thrills

"A nOnchalant blOke should
not be allowed to shoot tigers,
since he does not have one ner-
vOus CULVER afterwards. What
fun is there in that? A sensitive
man will shake and tremble and
talk high for an hour after he
kills the tiger. The beast 10 feet
away is dangerous, one jump and
you are done for, just one
scratch from those claws. Tigers
live ON decaying meat, their
claws are full Of poison
This ID the considered verdict
of Edison Marshall, of Georgia,
hunter Of wild beasts in distant
places, while Mrs. Marshall re-
mains at home with their two
children. He not only gets O
thrill out Of the hunt but as a
skilled teller of tales is also able
to pass them on. He says:
my hunting trips are literary
expeditions, tOO," Edison Mar
shall explains. "YOu learn more
about o country If you go there
with an objective, not just tour
ing around. Last year I went to
IndO- China, fascinating coun-
try, few white men have been
there. I wrote of that in my
serial, Sam Campbell, Gentle
man. starting in this months
Good Housekeeping"
Mrs. Marshall prefers literary
discussions to tales of horror. Her
husband tells you he began writ
ing and selling stories while still
in college, has supported himself
by writing ever since, and be-
lieves he holds the record for the
number of his serials in Good
Housekeeping.
Mr.. Marshall brought home to
his wife inlaid brasses, thick, wild
rugs, a silver sword, and musk,
which smells like chloroform and
has an eXhilarating effect If eaten
in small quantities. These were
gifts from htS Maharajah Of

Local Artist
Wins Wide
Acclaim

One of the most notable adS
compishments of the PubA6
Works art project is the fact
that it. has brought the work
of a young Washington girl 10
the attention of the American
public.
The girl is Miss Julia Ecke4
young, attractive and talented,
several Of whose paintings are
now on exhibition in the new
Department Of Labor Building
with o large collection Of other
PWAP works.
Miss Echel's paintings are bV
far the most outstanding IN
theme and in execution Of any
of the $50 pictures on exhibition.
She has o talent which in
doubtedly viii place her high
in the ranks Of contemporary
American artists.
Four of the young washington
artists pictures are hung in the
Department Of Labor and each OF
them shows that Miss Eckles has
q distinctive style Of theme and
color which is really remarkable
in a day when aspiring artists
are painting in the style Of the
so-called moderns-garishly and
ludicrously.
Rich COlOrg
Her four paintings are entitled
radio BroadcaSting," Band
Concert" "Street Service" and
Revival" In each, she repre-
sents an animated looking group
of men and women, their faces
very much alive and their fig
ures indicating molten and &C.
tivity.
Miss EckelS coloring 10 un-
doubtedly influenced by the rich,
dark colors of the old masters. In
each of the paintings on exhibi-
ton, the colors are rich browns
and reds.
Her figures are unusually life.
like and the faces are all interest
ing. In Radio Broadcasting,"
she represents a group of radio en-
tertainers performing before the
microphone. The other three also
carry out a modern musical
theme, with "Street Service" show
ing the Salvation Army at work on
street corner; Band Concert"
representing just what the title
implies, and Revival" showing a
group of colored men and women
in the ecstasy of a religious sing
ing service.
Miss Eckel stands head and
shoulders over the other artists
whose work is on exhibition. There
are, however, a few others who are
deserving of praise.
There is, for instance, a paint
ing of a pretty girl placidly seated
on a garden porch, with her face
in profile. This picture was done
by Judson Smith, of Woodstock,
N. Y, who unquestionahly has
great talent.
Noteworthy
There is Ignacy Machlanski's
Problem" a study of two small
schoolboys hard at work over
their homework. It's an excel
lent study of children, and well
done.
There is also William s.
SchWartz'S Americana No. e."
unique picture representing
several different types of Ameri-
can faces in a harmonious group.
Most of the other pictures, a.
though they are not intended to
be, might very well be caricatures
and cartoons. The Vividness Of
color, the lack of artistic shading
and the stiffness Of many Of them
give that effect.
Intent on obtaining q realistic
picture, the majority Of the
artists have selected themes from
modern life which are realistic
enough, but in the execution Of
their ideas, they have completely
forgotten to carry out the life
like quality.
