beauty has been kept as "a preserve for
the few; too little has been made
available for all 1t is this need and
opportunity that still life paintings
fills-therefore its value and i'm
portance.
Better than many has Preston Clark
put somewhat this same thought in
his sonnet on Beauty" in which
occur the following lines:
Why does the sight of beauty move
us 80,
Even to silence when the twilight
hour
Changes the world beyond imagining
Why does the thought of beauty make
us know
That We are kin to an immortal power
That what we are contains a deathless
thing?"
The answer may be far to seek, but
the fact is undeniable.

ably presented by Mr.. Fischer

OF these delightfully."- serene works

every opportunity to add the coloring

brings. Noticeably Is this found in

of the country, and is perform
ing q material service Gin conserving
the Nations material wealth." in the
opinion of its national director, Robert
Fechner.
The opinion was expressed follow
ing his return from an inspection
tour OF c. G. c. camps in the Terri
tory Of Hawaii. With this visit in
the mid-Pacific, the farthest away
of the c. c. c. camps, Mr.. Fechner
now has personally looked over the
activities of the G. c. C. enrolees in
every state, the Territories of Hawaii
and Alaska, and the possessions of
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
Besides the 100000 youths in main
land United States, there are 1900
in Hawaii, Alaska and Americas
Caribbean Islands engaged in conser-
walton Of natural resources. Mr.. Fech-
ner found the activities Of his organi-
zation outside the American mainland
to be more varied than In the States.
For example, one OF the Hawaiian
projects was entitled Repair to Ma
tional Park Administration Building,
he said. This has routine sound,
but when I saw what this job was,
found 1t was far from routine Is We

1.-THE building was located near the
summit Of the Kilauea Volcano on
Mauna Loa, a $4,000 foot mountain
on the island of Hawaii. Damage
was caused by forces non-existent in
any other national park-dry rot and
fungus growth caused by steam from
volcanic cracks in the earth.
wall boards, joists, door and win
dow frames and flooring were warped
and damaged, with painted surfaces
blistered. Repairs were Immediately
necessary, but it was necessary first
to make large extension Of the con-
crete foundation before erecting with
new materials to prevent further seep-
age from the steam cracks"
Another unique chore for the ter
ritorial boys was the erection Of So
miles Of fence to guard the volcanic
mountain forests from depredations
by wild sheep, goats and cattle. These
descendants Of domestic animals
brought to the islands many years
ago were found to be stripping the
high country bare Of vegetation, peril
ing the water resources so essential
to sugar production, and in the case
OF one small island, rendering it SC
barren that the top soil was being
blown out to sea and the island in
danger of disappearing.

Mr.. Fechner that above the 1900
foot level on Mauna Loa he was I'M

subjects do not merely happen; they
must be composed The objects must
be assembled and given just the right
lighting. and if the things painted are
perishable, as flowers, fruit, fish and
game. it behooves the painter to work
rapidly and without error. In this
sense every one may be an artist. and
many are unknowingly, inasmuch as
they may compose II not translate
For instance. flower arrangement is,
as the japanese have taught US, an art
in itself.
Of ALL our American painters of
still life. probably the greatest
was Emil Carlson. Dane by birth but
American by adoption and long resi-
dence, and best known as painter of
the sea He was a very great artist
as we'll as technician. On the
shoulders Of his son Dimes. in recent
years, his cloak has fallen and is worn
with like dignity and distinction.
Neither of the Carlsens-father and
son-have held still life painting to
be a minor accomplishment. Dimes
studied under his father and has fol-
lowed closely in his footsteps, but not
slavishly so. Frankly, one must admit
that inherently there is little beauty
in pots and pans. but both the Carlsens
have so painted these commonplace
things that they have become emotion
ally beautiful.
Especially is this true. Of the canvas
by Dimes Carlson entitled, White and
Silver" recently acquired by the
trustees Of the Ranger Fund 1t is as
hard to define beauty as it is art. but

nizable. The artist has in this COM
position brough together a series Of
objects of reticent. unassertive colors,
such as white, gray, earthen brown,
and made OF them symphony which
fills the beholder with delight-an

achievement. Furthermore, this Is a

happily, is still full Of it. Many Of our
large exhibitions in the past 10 years
have been redeemed as we'll as en-
livened by still life painting; not all
great works of art, but for the most
part painted for the love of the doing

THOSE who would scott at still life
painting are those who have little
or no understanding of the real mean
ing and significance of art. To the
quiet magic Of such still life paintings
as have been mentioned here we owe
lasting debt of gratitude. Such not
only give to the beholder momentary
pleasure but open our eyes to beauty
around us, to see which is to attain the
artists vision.

Ing Of the D major symphony pro-
vide one Of the few bright spots to
be found in the life Of the young
composer. At that time his Figaro"
was the talk Of Prague. In the midst
Of financial worries and thoughts of
London as a possible relief he was
invited to go to Prague to hear a
performance Of his opera, which had
been premiered in Vienna A noble
mans house was put at his disposal,
and everywhere he went he was the
object Of the greatest attention.
A T THE opera performance he was
repeatedly cheered, and the en-
thusiasm of the Prague public could
only be assuaged by the announce
ment that two concerts would be given
by the gifted composer. At the first
he produced his new symphony, the
D major, conducting it himself. 1t
created q furore, and in the glow of
pleasure at his success Mozart sat
down to the piano and improvised for
half an hour until every one was .ex-
hausted with excitement and enthusi-
asm
This particular symphony has re-

audiences, and has been played there
nearly a hundred times. The music
seems almost to be a continuation Of
that Of Figaro" and has the same
freshness and vigor and gay Tilt. In
the first movement he seems to en-

fore settling down to his particular

throughout the three movements the
richness Of the composers invention
and the easy flow of ideas are over

Orchestra plays it with a real Mozart
ian finesse, matching its inherent
vitality with like display of power
and nuance.
THIS age, when program music of
the most involved kind is de-
manded at every symphonic concert
and soloists match conductors in
choosing the most difficult works for
concert appearances. it Is refreshing
to turn back to the period when the
