Antique jewelry is said to be q ia

stroyed, regardless OF its beautiful
workmanship.
According 10 the director Of the
hobby show, tastes differ, generally
speaking. between men and women as
collectors. Men like Indian relics, fire-
arms, coins and stamps. In design and
engraving. many stamps are works Of
art: but in ''lay" opinion, stamp COL

than Of artistry.

RT and hobbies are not neces.
n sarily identical; but how often
II they are, will be demonstrated
4 \ to Washingtonians when the
annual Eastern Antiques Exposition
and Hobby Collectors Show opens on
Monday, April 27, at Wardman Park
Hotel, to continue through Friday
night, May /. This Is the first time
this show has been held in Washing
ton. 1t is under the direction of o.
c. Lightner of Chicago.
The grand ball room and foyer OF
the hotel will be filled with the exhib-
its of private collectors, museum
curators and dealers from Arkansas
and Iowa to New England. A large
part of the show is composed OF
loans from persons who collect for
the fun Of It. Some washington COLI
lectors are in this group. Former SEN
ator Harry B. Hawes will show his COLI
lection of firearms, including Jesse
James revolvers. In the same classi-
fication are the loans from Lieut.. Col.
Calvin Goddard and George w. Pa
rezo, also of Washington, and Edward
r. Seal of Evansville, Md. Any one
who casually dismisses firearms as
things to shoot with will probably be
surprised to see what beautiful OBJ
jects some Of them are.
There are various types of guns and
pistols, matchbox, wheellock, snap
nance. nintlock, etc. Some have their
stocks incrusted with elaborate de-
signs in ivory and horn, often depict
ing hunting scenes: their barrels and
locks may be incised or engraved, with
mounts Of silver, bronze and other
metals. Not . few Of the pierced and
engraved mounts resemble fne lace.
These highly decorated guns were
probably intended for sporting uses,
rather than warfare.
.CAPT. EDWARD H. McCRAHON Of
~ Washington. will lend . group Of
World War posters from his collection
Of more than 5000, which Is said to
be unique. It includes posters from
every nation that was involved in the
World War, both Allies and Central
Powers, and from most Of the neu-
trails. Some Of the greatest artists
of that period produced for their gov
ernments. paintings and drawings Of
