were entered by indivi 1uals by -
cial invitation. In short, the ma Jor
portion of this exhibition consists of
prints which the makers considered
most representative.
There is wide variety both in subject
matter and method employed. A few
examples of color photography are
shown, but none which is eminently
satisfactory from an artistic stand
point. There are good many por-
traits, but only very few that may
be considered interpretative. Out
standing in this group is portrait of
Gerard Hauptman by Edward Stei-
chen, who for the past 80 years has
held emirfence If not pre-eminence in
this field. This photograph shows
Mr.. Hauptmann standing on the ter
race of New York skyscraper, sill
houetted against starlit Sky-a dra-
matte presentation and one that once
seen will not be forgotten. There are
a good many pictures Of New York.
but none which tells new story, or,
for that matter, the old story better
than it has been told before. Modern
ism comes to the fore in picture Of

in a print entitled Force" which
shows a piece Of machinery. Con-

and possessing what Is termed
"painter-like" quality. There are
others equally good Winter scenes,
Midsummer landscapes, boats, farm
scenes-some showing strong con-

rendered with great delicacy. The

mirably serve as an artistic medium of
expression. 1T all depends. as we

THROUGH personal episodes In his
lifetime of aviation, Mr.. Looming
follows the historical and pictorial
flor the book is profusely Illustrated
record Of the entrance of our country
into the air age and its rapid progress
there. The developments and dim
culties through which aviation has
passed are the chief part of the story.
AS a budding genius. Mr.. Looming
built model planes of bent wire driven
by rubber bands and covered with It's
sue paper. and pleaded with his mother
to remove the chandeliers so that he
would have fewer wrecks. In 1908
he founded the Columbia University
Aero Club: in 1909 he got a pass to
see Wilbur Wright's plane. scheduled
to fly at the Hudson Fulton celebra-
ton. This led to his becoming Orville
Wright's assistant in the Wright air
plane factory. In the World War, he
was aeronautical engineer with the
United States Army Air Corps. and
his book, Military Aeroplanes," was
used by the British Royal Flying
Corps and was the oficisl text of
the United States Navy. He later
became head of a company Of his
own, whose planes have made various
world records. He says: THE New
Deal can rant against individualism
But I can answer that my initial
effort Of inventing and starting the
production of our amphibisn

What Would Boys
Sentence Cost?

To the Editor of The Times:
There is one aspect about
the action of Judge Fay Bent
ley in committing two boys to
the National Training School
that has not been touched
upon, and I believe is of vital
Importance to the tax payers
Of the community.
That is the cost of keeping
these boys, feeding and cloth
ing them, giving them medical
attention, schooling, and other
expenses until they reach the
age of majority.
1t will cost several hundred
dollars to do this, and we as
tax payers must foot the bills.
Whereas it would seem that the
parents of these boys are will
ing to keep them at home in
this period, carrying all the
expenses.
It would be far better for all
concerned, it would seem to me,
to keep these boys at home,
under the watchful eye of the
probation officer, giving them
the benefits of home care and
at the same time saving the
costs to the District tax payers.

Judge Bentley gave to Billy
Tanning and Arthur Penn.
The taking of those two boys
away from their home environ.
ment and placing them among
criminals is a rank injustice,
and I sincerely hope the case
will be thoroughly investigated.
Anyone with a spark of hu-
manity would say, give the
youths at least one more chance
in life.
This particular case and SINH.
lar ones cause every parent to
realize that this same thing
might happen to their own chill
dren. Of course, we teach them
it is a sin to steal, yet who can
foretell what temptations they
may face? I think the mission
Of everyone in authority is to
help people to gain higher
ideals, rather than push them
down on a level with criminals.

"Judge Ignored
Fundamentals"

To the Editor Of The Times:
1t is indeed regrettable that the
confidence of the people of the
District should be so misplaced
on the shoulders of one with so
little understanding Of human
nature, lack of wisdom and
mercy as displayed by Juvenile
Judge Fay Bentley who Is the
personification of the original
Goddess of Justice, I. c. That
she is blindfolded."
Is this outrage of justice
perpetrated by this woman
against two wee little lads to
be our common lot when in the
future many such offices shall
be filled by women? If so,
God have mercy on this poor
erring human race.
Surely this is flagrant vio-
lation of her sacred office of
public trust and has shown her
to be incapable of filling same.
Regardless of her education,
degrees and assumed social
background she has shown woe
full lack of knowledge concern
ing juvenile matters and in
view of the lack of the i'm
portant fundamentals which
should be the essence of her
important office I sincerely
trust she will be removed for
the good of the youth of the
District who shall be the citizen
of tomorrow.
