Builders and architects now recog-
nize a scale model as a most essential
step in the proper conception Of plans.
Their primary object, Mr.. Keyes said,
is to make it possible to visualize how
the full-sized structure will look when
completed in q way that it is impossible
to do by means of mere fat drawings,
no matter how accurately depicted. A
proof Of their utility is the frequency
with which the architects plans are
changed after the models have been
studied carefully, in order to rectify
some Of the construction or add to the
beauty of outline.
1t is an interesting commentary that
Mr.. Keyes has his machine shop in
the famous old Octagon house at New
York avenue and Eighteenth street,
itself one Of the finest types of unique
architecture in Washington. Here,
with his aides, he Is making models Of
the most advanced ideas in housing
that the architectural mind has de-
vised.
Mr.. Keyes makes most Of his models

Of cardboard on wood bases, although
he uses wood or metals, If desired.
T have often been asked how long
these paper models will last" he said.
"Ive been making them for 20 years
and none Of them has ever buckled
out Of shape in the slightest degree in
that time. I would say they should
last indefinitely.
Recently was shown picture at
the Library of Congress of the paper
model of the great cathedral at Roeun,
in Northern France. The model was
made at the time the cathedral was
designed. It was in perfect state Of
preservation until destroyed during
the World War. That would make it
about 500 years old, which should be
long enough, should think. for any
one"

ings delivered their message at single
blow and left nothing more to be said.
Holbein's drawing in black and white
and tint were extremely simple, but
they were exquisite in line and very
subtle in inference. Senorita Fresia
del Pulgar has undoubtedly ability
her characterizations are more than
clever-but her line is graceless and
she shows nothing beneath the surface.
Her portraits of women are character
lied by very large eyes, conSpicuouSly
bordered by long, dark laShes, and
mouths which are splash Of violent
red, typical perhaps of present-day
fashion. Her portraits of men are. on
the whole, more substantial and artis-
tically better than those of women.
Particularly good Is her portrait of her
brother-in-law, Mr. Burke. Also COM
mendable were those of the Mexican
and Cuban Ambassadors. In some in
stances Senorita Pulgar supplies land
scape setting for her portraits in true
Spanish style. Such was her portrait
Of her sister, Mrs. Burke. Most inter-
esting of all, and perhaps most indica-
tive of the artists ability, were two fin
ished pastels of peasant women. one
carrying water jar on her head. the
other with baby on her back, both in
conspicuously hung, but most worthy
Of attention. These works far tran
scended the superficiality Of the por-
traits, to which they were in striking
contrast. In recent years the Spanish
school Of painting has been one of the
finest and most nationalistic in Europe
We have come, therefore, to look to
Spain for work in this field of marked
originality and real distinction, up
holding and continuing the great
Spanish tradition.

thing new. He has, however, worked
out new formulae.
There is a tradition, he explained,
that Michaelangelo was the first to
use paper models. Fearful of the
stress calculations for the dome of
st. Peters, with its 1856 to 1873 feet of
interior diameter. he constructed a
paper model to test it.
Mr.. Keyes likes to talk about his
work as any artist does, and he men
tions with pardonable pride some of
the big structures he has modelled.
Thousands of Washingtonians and
tourists were able to visualize how the
proposed Federal triangle would look
by means of his group of models. long
before the first unit, the Commerce
Building, was erected. This is perhaps
the largest cardboard model ever con-
structed. Scaled to one-sixteenth inch,
it is % feet long and feet wide.
Among some of his other models in
Washington are those of the new
House of Representatives Office Build
ing, the Southern Railway Building
and the Connecticut Avenue Bridge
over Klingle Valley. He has done, also,
models of the American Embassy in
Paris and the American Consulate in
Toxic for the State Department.
Mr.. Keyes' model OF the south
transcept of the Washington Cathe-
dral, a photograph Of which cannot
be distinguished from q photograph
of the completed structure. is one In
which he takes perhaps the greatest
pride.
It Is made entirely of paper. except
for some figure work in the doors. He
did the job for Frohman, Robb &
Little, the architects Of the Cathedral,
and the task required three months
Of painstaking work.
He used thousands of pieces of card
board Of various thicknesses-many OF
them so small they had to be picked
up, glued and placed with tweezers.
"That was a job," he sighed. Every
stone called for in the design was
duplicated in scale in the exact posi-
ton. One of the hardest things in
connection with the model was to
duplicate the carvings in the windows.
A single pinnacle required from 400
to 500 pieces of cardboard. The scale
used was 3-16th of an inch, which Is
larger than many Of the scales in the
models of larger projects"
The Cathedral model also dupli-

showed first its prototype at Yer
sailles and then visualized its future,
when accent would be given the long
green carpet stretching from the Cap
itol to the Washington Monument
by the bordering, quadruple lines OF
trees now but saplings.
Especially did he insist upon uni
formity of scale and this brought from
him the statement that the site pro-
posed for the National Gallery of
Art, to be built at the munifcence of
Mr.. Mellon, east of the National Mu-
scum, had been rejected on the con-
viction that building Of such mag
nitude and importance so placed
would not conform to the plan as now
conceived. Mr. Moore did not say
what alternative had been accepted
but he did state authoritatively that
within two years this great gallery
would be under construction and that
therein would be housed a collection
which in merit would place our Ma
ton and our Capital City on parity
with all other nations and capitals
in the world.
Without actuaEy quoting the late
Daniel Burnham's dictum, Make nc
little plans" Mr.. Moore in his talk
before local university women strong
ly urged that We plan not for today
but tomorrow, as did Washington and
L'Enfant, that expenditures for such
purposes be not begrudged and that
all Americans be unremitting in ef-
fort to uphold those who would safe
guard the beauty which has been ac-
quired and add to it. To this end
none has labored longer, more eff
ciently and with greater devotion than
the speaker himself.

DESPITE all efforts to curb the
spread of the Dutch elm disease,
it has become necessary to add SO new
townships to the quarantined area in
the East.
The disease, which means certain
death to any tree it attacks, has
steadily extended its limits year by
year, threatening. unless it can be
eliminated, as destructive results as
the chestnut blight. which practically
wiped out this species of tree.
Not until scouts have been able to

in the head. The brow is broad and
intellectual, beneath which the dark
eyes look out with thoughtful inten-
sity, and unafraid. The mouth, above
a small and not too strong chin, is
firm and sensitive. In other words, the
artist, who has known Miss Perkins
since childhood, has pictured her as
the social worker with deep convictions
and tenacious ideals-one who believes
in and is capable of action, but also
dreams dreams. Essentially, this is
an interpretative work, composite

Jean MacLane was, it will be re-

Queen of the Belgians for our Ma

gratulation-a step forward.

w WIEN the Government wants

wv Keyes builds them.
This master builder OF
P. w. AS Housing Division, in fact,
can turn his skill to any kind OF con-
struction, be it houses, skyscrappers,
cathedrals, terminals, bridges or monu-
ments. Give him the blueprints and in
month or three months his sensitive,
ingenious fingers will piece together
the fragments of any architects
dream.
Right now Mr.. Keyes is building 49
huge low-cost housing and slum clear
ance projects for Secretary 1ckes. No
man is more adroit in bringing blue
print into life. When he finishes one
of his housing projects-like Langston
Terrace in Washington, for instance
the big "bosses" of P. w. A. can see
at glance what it will look like before
even a spade of earth is turned.
For Mr.. Keyes is one Of the best
known model makers In this or any
country.
Years ago in his Baltimore home ne
made models as a hobby, never reanz-
ing then that he would make 1t his
vocation and through it earn q ma
tional reputation.
every Christmas I would make q
little garden for my boy" he explained
in the modest way that characterizes
his attitude toward his work. I'm q
craftsman, you see, and enjoyed max
ing models for the Christmas tree.
Once I made q model OF q building
from the blueprints and saw the pos
sibilities Of going into the model-mak-
ing business. So here am now, doing
models for all the low-cost housing
developments.
Mr.. Keyes takes as much pride In
making the model Of an imposing
structure to scale as the architect does
in drawing the plans or the engineer
in fashioning the fabrics into the I'M
ished work.
Long before he went with P. w. A.
his work caught the attention OF Gov
ernment officials In washington.
A MONG his best-known models are
"A those of the Federal Triangle on
Pennsylvania and Constitution avenues
and his replica of the Norman Gothic
architecture Of the south transept OF
the Washington Cathedral, q thing Of
beauty In itself.
