Model Yachts Enthusiasts
To See Best This Week End

Model yachts, like tull-grown boats
sail according to the winds and the
compass, and navigating them is a job
for any good sailor.
It's true that the miniature craft
sometimes veer from a set course, but
the inference such sport is childs play
is not well founded.
Proof for scofiers will be furnished
Saturday and Sunday on the Lincoln
Memorial Rejecting Pool. where men,
bers OF the Washington Model Yacht
Club will vie for the championship of
the Eastern division, Model Yacht

that park commissions have built
special pools.
First Races in Open Water.
The first racing was held on open
water the skipper following his yacht
in skiff to make the necessary trims
to sail and adjustments of steering
gear. Now, however, most of the races
are staged in pools -bank-to-bank af-
fairs, with the skipper keeping abreast
of his craft on one side and his mate
on the other, ready to shove it off with
/ a pole in case crash appears immi-
nent.
In formal races the yachts are sailed
in pairs. A round is complete when
{ each yacht has sailed against every
| other yacht in the regatta The yachts
are credited with three points each for
each competitor defeated in the race
to windward and two points in the
races to leeward. A winner in formal
racing is declared on the total points
won in a completed round.
One noteworthy development in the
sport is the interest taken by women.

women as skipper members; if not, it

How can a model yacht be made

too complicated to explain further.
All Of 1t Is Technical.
In fact, the whole business Is pretty
technical. For instance, it's impos-
sible to accurately scale down a
championship yacht and get the same
results with a model The model yacht
must be specially designed.
Most of the designers turn out to
be poor shippers, too. A retired Brit

Shows Feeling, Depthin
Couch Recital
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

COIlSGdIlC6 fOuSSClly OA4C VI IlAC
most promising and interesting
pianists who has developed in
Washington, yesterday afternoon
opened the series of recitals Of
fered each season by the Woman'S
City Club under the direction OF
Mrs. Mary liant Couch.
The program was brief, but i'm
portant. 1t contained one of the
most beautiful of the Bach choral
preludes that Busoni transcribed.
It offered the great prelude and
fugue in E minor which is one Of
Mendelssohn' few keyboard mas
terpieces. 1t paid tribute to Cho-
pin with two popular but difficult
etudes, quoted that early and ex-
quisite impression" by Debussy
known as Reflections in the
Water" ended with Dohnanyi's eff
fective version of the Malta" waltz
by Delibes, and was extended with
1.-The Swan" by Saint Saens
GodowSky.
MEASURES UP TO PROGRAM
It is a pleasant duty to assure
Miss Russell that her talents and
attainments measure up to the
exacting requirements of the
Mendelssohn, Dohnanyi and Go
dowsky numbers. Not only has
she technical capacities of real
significance, but they serve a
tonal imagination that discovers
many aspects of beauty. She has
learned much about the acoustic
resources of her instrument.
fact made clear not only in the
superb account of the MendelS-
Sohn prelude and fugue but sug
gested, if with less authority, in
the Debussey number.
A miscalculated tempo robbed
the Bach-Busoni number of some
of its poetry and pathos-she
played it too slowly-but the
youthful lyric romance of the
Saint-Saens melody, which Co.
dowsky has adorned with so much
pianistic magic, was lovely
moment. It was Godowsky who
once said that the music of Cho-
pin remains the most difficult,
and so Miss Russell found it yes
terday. The more obvious display
of the Dohnanyi transcription,
however, fell out of her neat and
well-filled sleeves.
MISS TOLSON PLEASES
The Roosevelt Hotel series of
concerts and recitals was pleas
antly continued, last night, by
Margaret Tolson. pianist, recently
returned from a Sojourn in France.
This attractive young resident art
ist chose to reintroduce herself to
her numerous admirers with a
program of miniatures. A brief
chaconne by Handel, a fantasy by
Mozart, two Brahms capriccios,
two Schumann fragments, a Pag-
anini-Liszt caprice and the Ravel
Sonatine made up the list.
They disclosed Miss TolSon as
possessed of the temperamental
warmth and sensitiveness neces-
sary for presentation alike of the
unworldly Schumann-BrahmS ro-
manticism and the sophisticated
art Of Ravel. The latter is, SO to
speak, art by subtraction. Though
its ideas are delightful and its
colors and moods warmly sensuouS,
its spiritua attributes are drawn
from the mind rather than the
heart.
Taste is the redeeming virtue
of this music and Miss Tolson has
it, together with the kind of i'm
agination that can complete all
its half-statementS. In Brahms
and Schumann, on the other hand,
no such self-restraint was imposed
upon the performer. She dealt
bravely with the great F sharp
minor capriccio of Brahms. and
sympathetically with Schumann
miniatures.

" H Y INDIANS.
PAINTED FACES.
Used Blue to Show If
He Was Peaceful
BY DON HIX

Heigh Ho, Shipmates. For our
Question Box today, we are going
to dig up that question from Tom
Barnes asking us if we know why
the American Indians used bright
colored paint on their faces. Well,
Tommy's question is a very SEN
siole one for that paint did mean
something. The first thing you
think about an Indian is war
paint. He put that on to
make him look very ferocious. and
not only painted his face but his
entire body. But did you know
that the Indian used blue paint
on his face to show peacefulness?
For instance, if it was a near
relative he would smear his face
solid with black paint from brow
to chin but if the relative was OF
distant relationship, he would
only smear half his face or would
put it on in black stripes.
BRAVES MAIN USERS
The Braves or the young men
of the tribe were the main users
of paint among the Indians, as
they considered the many hueS OF
color smeared on their faces as
a mark of personal beauty. They
sometimes painted designs Of the
moon, stars, sun and other things
they saw and in this way ex-
pressed their feelings such as joy
fulness, sorrow and the spirit OF
war.
