BY NINA CARTER TABB.

Y ENRY FROST, Jr., of Middle
burg, one of the best of the
young trainers of jumping
i L horses, took his string down
to Camden, S. c.. about 10 days ago.
He is well settled there now and writes
enthusiastically that the facilities OF
Camden are ideal for Winter training.
The weather in Virginia has been
milder lately. Most of the snow has
disappeared and the ground has
thawed. But the going, for the most
part, has been entirely too deep for
any kind of extensive galloping. Peo-
pie have been exercising their horses
along the sand-and- clay roads.
A few packs. however, did 60 out on
Saturday, keeping as much as they
could to high land. The Middleburg
met at Dover and drew up into the
hills. Their first run was fast, but
brief. They treed their quarry Ia gray
fox). shook him down, killed him.
Soon afterward they were on another
line and hounds worked fast and true.
Though the country up around the in
soeAtoOC 10 a AAttAC alA1ASuiI W 4iy oNCl
Qn the grass sense), the run was well
worth going out for and all those that
did go enjoyed themselves thoroughly
One of the most enthusiastic about
the days sport was Mrs. Norman
Whitehouse.
The Whitehouses have a charming
place over in the Orange County coun-
try, near Halfway. The house, which
they have built within the last couple
Of years, is q Georgian structure of
brick, designed by William Lawrence
Bottomley of New York. Mrs. White
house is an excellent horsewoman and
an ardent follower of hounds. Her hus-
band does not hunt, neither does their
daughter, who has deserted New York
to be down here in Virginia these last
few days.
Like the Middleburg, the Warrenton
also CHANGED it on Saturday, and
they were also rewarded by a good
run. Hounds met at the masters,
Mr.. Amory Carhart's. The field found
a good deal of deep going. but some
of the old turf on well-drained rises
wasn't at all bad. The day was fin
ished up close to the town of War
renton, back of the Gould Shaw's.
Mrs. William Stevenson of Middle
burg left Friday for Ligonier, Pa,
where she has been the guest over
the week end of Mr.. Richard Mellon
at the Rolling Rock Club.
Word comes from Warrenton that
Mr.. Oscar T. Crosby of View Tree
and his daughter, Mrs. Crosby Miller,
are sailing on the twenty-first of this
month to visit another of Mr.. Crosby's
daughters, the Countess Carracciolo di
Melito, whose husband is Italian con-
sui in Kenya, East Africa. They will
be gone several months, and since
the place Of their sojourn is close
to the focal center of present-d day
world troubles, their interested friends
are already at this premature date
beginning to anticipate their return
Col. and Mrs. Edward Carpenter
gave pleasant luncheon for II at
their place, near Warrenton, yester-
day. Among other guests were Mr.
and Mrs. John Buchanan, Senator
and Mrs. Henderson and Mr.. John
Keith. At Middleburg, Mrs. Hazard
also entertained at dinner. Mr.. Prosser

RACIAL BRONzES
TO Be DISPLAYED
Malvina Hoffman's Work
Will Go on Exhibit in
ExnlorerS' Hall.

The first exhibition in Washington
Of Malvina Hoffman's internationally
famous bronzes, depicting the living
races of mankind, will be opened
Wednesday at 10 am. in Explorers
Hall of the National Geographic So
cietys administration building, 1t was
announced by the society today.
The sculptured portraits--"scien-
tifc documents as well as works OF
art" according to Sir Arthur Keith,
noted British anthropologist-are re-
productions of the life-size master
bronzes which form the Field Mu-
seum's Hall of the Races Of Man
kind, in Chicago. There are So fig
ures, busts, heads and groups in the
collection to be shown by the National
Geographic Society.
Behind the portraits are stories of
adventure, romance, and grim humor.
After Miss Hoffman, was commits
stoned by the Field Musem to make
studies and imperishable bronze rec
ords of racial types, she sought out
her subjects in their native habitats-
on the chill plateaus of Tibet. In the
dark forests Of Central Africa, on
Americas Western plains, in the bleak
islands of Northern Japan, in the
steaming jungles Of Borneo, in
crowded Germany and France, among
the sands of the Sahara, and in many
other regions of the earth. Some
times shy natives grudgingly sat fol
their portraits with naked, razor
sharp knives across their knees. sus-
picious of the artists every move
But Miss Hoffman usually won Their
confidence, and the sitting would end
with sculptor and subject genuine
, friends.
Miss Hoffman, pupil of Rodin, is
one of the outstanding living sculptors
and has been the recipient of nu-
merous national and international
honors. Her works are on permanent
exhibit at the Corcoran Art Gallery
in Washington, the Field Museum oi
Natural History. Chicago; the Metro
politan Museum of Art and the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History, New
York; at art galleries in London
Paris, Stockholm, Rome, and a num-
ber of American cities.
The bronzes to be shown at the
administration building of the Ma
tional Geographic Society include
white man, yellow man and black
man, the three central subjects. They
will be on exhibit in Explorers Hal
for several weeks, on all days except
Sundays, from 10 to 6 o'clock.

The country has been relatively
quiet lately. Many Of the madder gad-
abouts have found it q grand oppor-
tunity to stay at home. rest and try
to catch up little bit in lost sleep.
Those that haven't yet written their
Christmas notes are doing 1t now.
There have been no big parties or big
gatherings of any kind. There have
been many small drop-in affairs. The
mention of "drop-in affairs" reminds
me that Mr.. and Mrs. Rodger Bayly
have dropped in on Middleburg-per-
manently, the Middleburgers hope.
They moved out Of their former house
on the Paris side Of Upperville and
have rented a comfortable little estab-
lishment across from Jack SINNERS.

CONDEMNED BY IT'S FRIENDS

With friends of the New Deal saying such things
about its children as General Hugh Johnson said
about the WPA in fragment Of his report which
leaked out the other day, its enemies and opponents
can hardly be criticized for some Of the hard and
uncomplimentary things they have been saying
about it. r.. ...-... Sc. ..-,
General Johnson's report is being quoted as Hay-
ing: .s-... ...
"More than half of all this effort is prodlgal pre-
tense justified by nothing" and. ,..,.... -.
Sixty per cent of this invented work is need
Iessly expensive and fatuous gesture Also -
"The only argument in favor of work relief Is
that it preserves pride against the Illumination Oh
home relief Yet to GO on work relief the rules
require that man first go on home relief. TO get
there he must submit to the equivalent OF
pauper's oath and a most humiliatipg nqulsltlon
at is as cruel it is stupid, because the area OF
available relief money nowhere covers the
area of restitution, and the vast waste occasloned
by this uniformed dogma subjects the whole gov
eminent to amply justified ridicule." .s. ,'.a...

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
LEAVE 1T TO THE PEOPLE

u ;s unite evident that the liquor question Will
ho ON ;ssue in the coming election next November
The dry forces in the state are urging tne PeoPe 10
,.oto only for dry candidates. This lis especially
imnortant as to members Of the General Assembly.
For il will be up to that body to say whether the
rr,bbition laws of the state will remain ON the
hooks or be repealed that liquor may be Solu
legally all over North Carolina. s s.,.'
II ;s amusing how some of the supposed to be dry
politicians try to please both the vets and the drys
NJ uoav who claims to be dry in practice and
IN tbeorv. saws he is willing to leave the liquor ques-
ton with the people. That is good democracy
but if candidate is really dry and believes IN pro-
bhitnp the legal sale of liquor, he ought to go
further and say that while he is willing to leave 1t
70 tbe people. he is going to do all he can to get
tbe people to decide the liquor question as ne hm-
self thinks it ought to be decided. If one is dry
no should do ali he can to keep the prohibition laws
on the books and make honest effort to have
them enforced.
OF course the candidates who are wet and beieVe
that ouor should be sold soda water Is dlSpenS-
cd make no bones about their position. They
leave it to the people and then roll up their sleeves
and do their best to carry the whole state wet
The voters of the state ought to demand of every
candidate before the primary yes or no answer TO
the Huuor question If he wants liquor sold legally
IN the state let him say so. If he is against the
legal sale of liquor he ought to have courage
enough to say so-Johnston County Record.
