Pamphlets to Accompany Paintings.
Each group of four paintings will
be accompanied by an illustrated PAM
phlet containing a lesson in art appre-
citation by DR.. Bernard Myers, lecturer
in art at New York University. DR..
Myers. who has conducted many art
tours through Europe and Asia Minor,
has discovered most people are afraid
of art only because they have never
taken time to learn about it." He
believes constant association with
great paintings is the best way to learn
| to understand them.
The plan was conceived by an Ohio
newspaper publisher, James L. Wick
who now is director of the National
Committee for Art Appreciation. It
has been under development fer near
ly year.
For four out Of the five centuries
since Pope Julius ordered the reluctant
Mlchelangelo to decorate the Sistine
Chapel said Mr.. Wick, art was
produced for the sake of the artists
patron-first the lords, kings and
popes and later for the rising mer-
chants.
Along in the nineteenth century,
when this personal patronage began
to wane, the artists, sensitive and dis
appointed. withdrew from the unap-
preciative world and glorified art for
arts sake
Recent Trend in Art.
More recently, public art projects
and new independence in the artists
themselves have focused attention on
art for the artists sake This is only
right. But the public seems to have
been left out of all three of these
PHILOSOPHERS.
The plan now being sponsored by
our committee in collaboration with
The Washington Star is the first broad
attempt to produce art for the publics
sake-to bring great art within reach
of practically every home and to ex-
plain it in simple terms that layman
can understand"
Last Spring Mr.. Wick saw re-
production of Costigan painting and
wondered why such excellent prints
could not be brought to a mass -produc-
ton price, within the reach Of all.
He went to the man who produced
the print. Together they presented the
proposition to Richard Storrs Childs
and his brother. S. Winston Childs,
jr., sons Of Startling w. Childs, who
recently gave $lo,000,O00 to Yale Uni
versity for cancer research. 60

ahead" they told Mr.. Wick, well
finance the plan"
Art Authorities Assist.
So Mr.. Wick went ahead. He got
art authorities to assist in securing
the finest pictures. He got Herman
j. Wechsler. director of the Fine Arts
Reproduction Gallery of New York.
to supervise the printing of the re-
productions. He obtained the indorse-
ment of college presidents, art au-
thorities, public school executives and
many other persons sincerely interested
IN making fine art available to the
millions as well as the millionaires.
Leading newspapers of the country
have agreed to conduct the campaign
in other parts of the Nation. The
Star. after careful investigation of the
plan, accepted the committees invi-
tation to promote the program in this
community.

the German dirigible. Graf Zeppelin,
which set out from Iakehurst, N. j.,
on August s and circled the globe in
81 days, hours and "a minutes,
stopping only to refuel at Friedrichs-
hafen, Toxic and Los Angeles. A
month after Post and Gatty had cut
the Graf zeppelin's record by nearly
two-thirds, Clyde Panghorn and Hugh
Herndon. jr., took off from New York
in a long-range Wasp-motored Bel
lanca monoplane, with which they
hoped to better the faster Winnie
Macs globe-girdling performance by
making longer flights and fewer stops
for fuel.
They never had chance to equal
the Post-Gatty record after their third
days flying, but they accomplished
one feat, which many had attempted
in vain before and none has duplicated
since. by flying nonstop across the
Pacific from Sabishiro Beach, 300
miles from Toxic. to Wenatchee,
Wash, a distance Of 4,600 miles, in
Al hours 13 minutes. Unfortunately
for their original plans, this flight was
made on october and 5, 1882, months

by Kingsford-Smith and his three
companions, Charles T. P. Ulm, Harry
Lyons and James Warner. during the
initial stages of her flight A 2,410-
mile jump from Oakland to Honolulu
is her first objective as it was his.
The next leg of Kingsford- Smiths
flight took him to Suva, in the Fiji
Islands: thence he flew to Brisbane,
Australia, and on to Sydney, a total
distance of 1900 miles from his Cali
fornia starting place. Miss Earhart
will bear slightly westward of this
route from Honolulu. making her first
landing 1900 miles from Hawaii at
Rowland Island, a tiny speck of land
in the Pacific recently developed by
the Department of Commerce as an
intermediate airport on a possible
future commercial flying route to
Australia.
Her next jump is the longest of her
entire journey. 2,550-mile flight to
Lac, in the gold fields of New Guinea.
From there to Port Darwin, on the
northern tip of Australia, is a rela-
lively easy hop of 1900 miles. and
thereafter she will follow westward
as far as Karachi, India. Theme her
course lies across the mouth of the
Persian Gulf and along the Arabian
coastline to Alden, British outpost
guarding the entrance to the Red Sea.
From Alden Miss Earhart plans to
fly by stages straight across the heart
OF Africa to Dakar, Senegal, her
jumping-of place for the 1,80O-mile
South Atlantic crossing to Natal,
Brazil. It has reaSsured and surprised
her no little in gathering the data on
which to map out her fight to learn
that she will have a paved road to
follow during good portion Of her
flight over primitive" Africa; that
this highway has numerous widened-
out places where airplanes may land
safely in emergencies and that there
are large number of airports dot

jointly to prevent continuance of the
flight, chiefly because the plane car
ried neither radio nor a skilled
navigator.
The necessity Of these two things
on long over-water flights to pin-point
objectives had just been demonstrated
by the disastrous Dole air derby from
Oakland to Honolulu and was subse-
quently confirmed by Kingsford-
Smiths brilliant feat in flying across
the Pacific the following year. In
addition to the highly skilled services
Of Capt. Manning as navigator Miss
Earhart will have the most modern
radio aids to navigation to aid her
during her flight; on its Pacific and
South American phases she will enjoy
the additional safeguard of Pan
American Airways' long-range ground
station direction finders, which can be
trained on planes 1900 miles away
and determine their position within
an accuracy of few miles.
What Brock and Schlee attempted
to do with the flying equipment
available to them in 1927. Wiley Post
and Harold Gatty, an Australian nav
igator, achieved four years later with
their Wasp-motored Lockheed Vega
monoplane, Winnie Mae, a ship of
the identical type used by Miss Ear

Atlantic in 1882 and on her similar
flight from Honolulu to Oakland jan

to Dakar.
East-West Crossing Easier.
So many flights have been made be-
tween Africa and South America that
most aviation statisticians have lost
all count Of them, especially since
both the French and Germans have
been maintaining regularly scheduled
mail service over this ocean for several
years. The east-west crossing is
easier, due to prevailing winds, and
already has been made by two other
women, flying solo-Miss Jean Batten,
26-year-old New Zealander. and Mile.
Maryse Bastie of France. Miss Batten,
the first pilot of her sex to fly the
South Atlantic alone. piloted a De
Haviland GYPSY Moth monoplane
from Dakar to Natal in Is hours and
Is minutes on November 13, 1885.
Last December 80 Mile. Bastie, holder
of the worlds solo endurance record
of nearly 38 hours, clipped an hour
and ten minutes off the New Zealand
girls mark with a more powerful
Caudron-Simoun cabin monoplane
similar to the one seen by New
Workers at the recent national avia-
ton show in Grand Central Palace.
So even If she were not the type Of
airwoman who establishes precedents
rather than searching for them, Miss
Earhart has plenty to go on in her
contention that she should be capable
of flying the South Atlantic alone.
Without these predecessors she still
might point out that she herself flew
a much tougher" ocean-the North
Atlantic-without any one to help
her on May 20-21, 1882, and that this
feat was accomplished with a single
engined Lockheed Vega monoplane
where motor failure would have meant
disaster, not merely the necessity of
continuing fight on one Of two POWER
plants.

He got out between the bases and danced a little jig for a few second and then made futile effort to slide to second but it was a cinch throw and out to second from the plate.
