Butter and Egg Man Joke.

SAN DIEGO.-George Mellor and
E. w. Werts had a long last laugh
today. One of them stood in front of
their market and shouted to a COM
petitor across the street that they were
selling butter a half cent below a fair
trade code price. He met it. and they
bought him out. The competitor was
arrested, pleaded guilty and received
a suspended sentence. Mellor and
Werts were arrested, convinced the
court they sold no butter below the
code figure and were acquitted.

~ RITISH country women are ''less
- ambitious" than their Ameri-
can cousins, but are endowed
- with a philosophic outlook re-
sulting in fuller enjoyment of life, in
the opinion of Mrs. Alfred Watt. presi-
dent of the Associated Country Wom-
en- of the World.
Mrs. Watt compared the two on her
arrival at the Willard Hotel yesterday
preparatory to the opening here Mon
day of the sX-day international con-
ference of some $500 rural women.
Though officially listed as a resident
of Canada, she came to the conference
from England, where she said she has
lived about half her life.
The driving ambition Of American
farm women has resulted in higher
standard of living here than in Eng
land, Mrs. Watt observed. Also. she
said, American farm women are better
informed on nutrition than the Brit
ishers, though the latter's organiza-
tions affiliated with the A. C.. w. w.
are making special study of nutrition
at present.
British Diet Study.
"I don't know just why 1t Is. but
the unappetizing English diet has cer-
tally produced a sturdy type" she
added. 1T must be its simplicity"
The conference president enjoys a
personal acquaintance with Queen
Mary, at whose request she was sent
during the war to Sandringham to start
a Woman's Institute. The Queen, she
said, is adept at needlework and is an
expert on old furniture and old china,
interests which she thinks have un-
doubtedly influenced British home
makers.
OF the A. c. w. w, Mrs. Watt de-
clared that through the organization
country women have shown themselves
superior to other women.
You couldn't get town women to
agree on so many things" she said
Its success is partly due to the agri-
culture neighbor idea, think
Politics Excluded.
Mrs. Watt again stressed the nom
political policy of the conference. say
ing she has sent special letters to all
delegates and visitors to the confer
ence reminding them that provisions
in the A. C. w. w. constitution ex-
clude political and sectarian questions
of controversial character. Her

Book for Dog
FanCierS

Whether you own a terrier. a
spitz or a poodle, you should be
interested in the history Of the
miniature schnauzer, for they all
came down from the ancient
Moorland dog, an older cousin of
the Bronze Age canine.
In addition to the family saga
of the schnauzer, the book con-
tainS a full list of American and
German champions as we'll as an
alphabetical summary of Axe
registrations, which gives all dogs
registered in this country with
their parents, breeders and dates
in convenient form.
Countless pictures Of the sturdy
Schnauzers enliven the reading
matter and if you are one Of those
dog fanciers who like to bicker
over the right name for the right
dog, you will be amused by a col
lection ranging from such tags as
"Gallivant," "Pumpernickle, ""Me-
hitabel," "Ichabod," "Alladin"
and "Croesus."

her philosophy of life-her indict-
ment Of the present social condi-
tion-but she writes and writes
we'll of the things she saw and
felt.
She recounts in her strikes, her
hunger stories, her radical move
mentS, a surge in the history Of
this country that is interesting
the world.
What of these strikes? What
of this hunger? This poverty?
1t is the greatest problem faced
today by the Government in
Washington. It's violent GU t.
bursts. It's pitiable results. It's
beginnings are the subjects tied
with this volume.
And so her reactions are being
acclaimed as a striking picture Of
the industrial tumult.
"A Footnote to Folly" by Mary
Heaton Worse, published by Far
rar g. Rinehart.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-01-18

Though as I reread my record
and realize that we still settle
our industrial disputes with ter
rOr; that in spite Of the fact we
came near wrecking the fabric of
our civilization by war. we are
rushing headlOng toward war
again, l changed the title of this
book from "a Footnote to History
to a FootnOte to Folly"
Miss Worse begins her volume
with a personal descriptions Of
the textile strike at Lawrence,
Mass. IN 1918. It was a per-
sonal description because she
sought and quickly won a maya
zine assignment to cover the
strike when a trainload of chill,
dren were not allowed to seek
shelter and food in Philadelphia.
1t seems the author of this
book always sought assignments
at thu noment her emotions
we're touched. And when they
we're sufficiently aroused she
carried out her assignments and
her own personal aid as well
And so this photographed
volume of a full 80 years is at
once and for all an editorial in
the newspaper sense. True there
are bits of straight reporting.
Gems of fine description. sudden
sketches of those in whose life
she shared. but the personal con-
viction is never lacking.

Water COlOrs
And Oils

Replete with new exhibition
this month, the Corcoran Gallery
Of Art displays the work of two
wellknown artists, in addition to
its showing of the works of numer
Gus painters and sculptors in the
annual exhibition of the Society
of Washington Artists.
The two artists who have indi,
vidual exhibitions are Richard
Lahey, who is represented by a
group of oil paintings, water col
orS and etchings, and Thornton
Oakley, who has a large group Of
Illustrations and water colors on
view.
Mr.. Lahey is an artist of great
versatility. His work ranges from
forceful portraits to still lifes, with
landscapes that sometimes are
works of great detail and then
again the result of free sweep OF
the brush.
The artist apparently favors the
italian districts and Italian indl-
viduals for his subject-matter. His
work with this medium is extreme
ly sympathetic.
Principal of the Corcoran
School of Art here and formerly
a teacher with the Minneapolis
Institute of Arts, Mr.. Lahey is the
recipient of the Carol H. Beck
gold medal for portraiture at the
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Arts in 1929, and the Tuthill
Water Color Prize at the Art In
Stitute of Chicago in 1925.
He is represented in the Metro
politan Museum of Art, Brooklyn
Institute of Arts and Sciences,
Whitney Museum of American
Art, Detroit Institute of Art, New
York and Newark public libraries,
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Arts, Addison Gallery of Amer
can Art, Andover, Mass. and in
many private collections.
The exhibition of Mr.. Oakley's
work is comprised of 81 illuStra-
tons of books and 10 water
colorS.
His illustrations are, for the
most part, fanciful, while the
water colors, mostly of the French
provinces, are lovely, colorful
things, with a flair for ships and
old streets.
Mr.. Thornton has a variety of
interests, being not only water
colorist and illustrator, but a
writer, architect, lecturer and
teacher.

Miss Hoffman was commissioned
by the Field Museum of Natural
History to journey throughout the
world to carry out this enormous
and important job.
Three male figures. represent
ing the white man, the black man
and the yellow man, form the
nucleus of the series of bronzes.
From there on, Miss Hoffman
takes the specific types of each of
the three groups for her subject
matter.
Included in the collection are
such representative types as the
Kasmiri of Northern India, the
Blackfoot Indian Of North Amer
lea, the Ubangi Duck-bill girl Of
Central Africa, the Javanese and
the Balinese, the Polynesian war
rior of Samoa, the 'ricshaw coolie
of North China, and Others too

ABOUT several, there is some
thing eminently pleasing; some
might even be described as oeau.
tlful, and not many can very we'll
be described as being intrinsica1ly
strong.
Examples of portraits in the ex-
hibition represent some of the best
work shown. There are, for ex-
ample, Charles Bittinger's "Por-
trait of Thomas Fox, Esq. which
is forceful and we'll executed
Bjorn Egeh's portrait of DIR.
Steineger," which took the So
ciety'S award for figure compost
ton and portrait; the lovely
Alice, by Nelson Williams; Mar
jorie Bayliss' portrait of a dreamy
adolescent, and one of the most
beautiful child pictures shown
here in long time. Ann Bedford
Goodman's Sister.
In Hans Schlereth's "A Severe
Critic" one of the better paint
tngs unfortunately overlooked by
the jury of awards, there is some
thing which so many present-day
artists neglect. He has intro
duced the element of humor into
an interesting painting.
There are a few lovely things,
like A. H. o. ROLES Moonlight
Annapolis" where the moonlit sky
and the water reflections give a
beautiful effect, and Minor S.
JameSon's Sun in the Valley"
which has a delightful combina-
ton of colors.
But to offset these, there are a
tremendous number of strange
looking. impossible landscapes,
with one-dimenSion effect.
Gladys Nelson Smith has a
beautiful painting in Sunlight, "
a homey-looking house, with a
beautiful child to bring life into
the picture.
BY no means have all the good
paintings been mentioned. There
are several others, some exquisite
still lifes and a few portraits and
landscapes which can be classified
among the better examples OF
modern art.
The fourteen pieces of sculpture
are almost all we'll executed. The
sculptors are represented with a
large variety of work, ranging
from bust portraits to book ends
The soCietys bronze medal has
been awarded as follows: Figure
composition and portrait, to Bjorn
Egeli for DIR. Steineger";; land.
scape and marine, to Robert
Franklin Gates. Mrs. T"Wmpn's

to Roger M. Rittase for The Air.

tiers of Maryland is having a
justly deserved revival. First,
Mrs. Francis Parran, of Baltimore,
compiled her lists of landed gen.

This is something all de-
scendants of the Calverts, the
CAROLS, the Cornwaleys, the

and all other descendants of the
gentlemen adventures should
have.
The CAROLS, including Charles
Carroll of Carrollton, who signed
the Declaration of independence,
hold the spotlight throughout the
greater part Of. the historic re.
cital, but the CAROLS story is the
story of practically all de-
scendants of the people who we're
aboard when the Ark and the

Miss Hoffman worked for five
years, during which time the most

Sermons

Environments do not count
when you have an aim In life"
That. at least, is the way Phyllis
Bentley looks at it. Her heroine,
however, demands:
But what happens when people
won't let you have an aim?" Miss
Bentley devotes a good many
chapters to settling just such q
question.
She takes a firm stand by nam
ing her book Environment" and
she makes that environment
pretty stuffy and provincial. Mar
jorie lis never let off anything"
She loses both parents in a train
wreck. She is Snubbed by super
cilious Schoolmates. She becomes
a clearinghouse slavey. She runs
away to Boulogne with a young
lunatic. She reforms and goes
into a convent to gain what she
can of the higher principles of
learning, She energies and joins
the great English working class
determined to be a teacher.
This aim, like lot of others,
falls short of her dreams. She
proves a poor match for her I'M
disciplined pupils and goes back
to her native village as failure.
Thus, having lost most Of her
illusions, she arrives, at last, at
a sounder working theory, and we
see her at the end contemplating
a happier life beside the man she
loves.

Pawns Pants In
Deal Involving
Bottle Of Beer

York, S. c. About the limit in
pawning took place here in a cafe
when a man pawned his trousers
for IS cents with which to buy a
bottle of beer.
The thirsty one had begged a
friend to lend his IS cents. pawn
your pants" was the reply,
land I'll let you have the money"
To the amazement of every one
present, off came the pants-,and he
was not wearing two pairs, either.
The trouserless man went to the
rear Of the cafe to drink the beer,
which he sat down and unused
on his predicament. He was afraid
to venture out on the street not
properly attired, for it was told
him that officers were in wait to
escort him to the city jail. Besides,
an icy wind would have chilled his
clad legs.
Finally, however, the lender Of
the money relented and returned
the trousers. s
