A stones throw from Calvary is the
Holy Sepulchre. At the Monastery,
situated the same distance from the
station depicting the death Of Christ,
is the Shrine Of the Holy Sepulchre.
With such faithful conformity is 1t
reproduced that time and distance
seen annihilated. The burial chamber
is quiet with holiness and devoid Of
ornamentation. The stones where
Christ's body rested are so realistic
that the devout visitor almost looks
around for the bloody shroud. This
striking reminder Of the passion is the
most characteristic and the chief
shrine Of the Monastery. The Holy
See has recognized 1t by imparting the
indulgences Of the Holy Sepulchre of
Palestine to it. And to all Christians
of every age and land the Holy Sepul-
chree has been the chief center Of de-
votion. For IT Christ be not risen

Charming and Unique Water
Colors by OltUe Rush
OF Santa Fe.
A MONG little exhibitions shown
this winter in the printrooms Of
the Phillips Memorial Gallery none
has been more engaging than that of
water colors by Olive Rush. which
occupied the smaller of these show
rooms last week. Miss Rush has a
rare and exquisite gift which, without
the least apparent intent or effort
on her part. instantly proclaims its
distinction to the discerning observer.
In her drawings and paintings she
uses the utmost economy Of line and
expression. but what she has to say
is said unequivocally and fully In
many respects her paintings are more
akin to those of the great Chinese
masters of the past then to the works
Of European painters, but only as
varous gems on a single string attain
inevitably unity. Yet without strain
ing for originality. her work has a
character all its own. For instance,
some Of her water colors are of
deer-antelopes, gazelles, Whatnot-
shy. elusive, exquisite creatures of the
wild upon which We seem to have
chanced as by magic The glimpse
is fieeting; they pause but to fee.
there is sense Of quiet and intense
expectancy; of fear and of daring,
and, above all, of beauty-rhythm.
balance, unity of composition. All
this seems TO have been done with
a few knowing sweeps of brush
but how?-who can say?
Several of her water colors we're
almost in monotint, but two were in
color-both on light brown grounds
with white as we'll as black line and
Just enough color to enrich the whole
One was of spotted deer bounding
across vista; the other was of a
scene in Sante Fe, where the artist
lives-mounted horsemen, the portico
Of house of Spanish architecture,
ladies in Spanish dress, a scene per-
haps of long ago, possibly of today,
but emhodyne completely the spirit
of the place-very remarkable
1t is interesting to note that in her
compositions Miss Rush uses odd num-
bers, three, five. seven. and that her
compositions are invariably balanced,
we'll spaced and placed. And yet the
means she uses are so simple.
More complicated are an oil Of
seven horses on mesa in the great

Reminders of Calvary

preached the sorrowful road Christ
took as He went about the gruesome
work of mans redemption. On this
day countless people feel the desire
to stand in the Holy Land, "the spiri-

SOUL" To visit the Garden of Geth-
semane in Jerusalem. where our Lord
previewed His crucifixion, to climb
the hill to Golgotha where He died,
to stand sorrowfully outside of Cal
vary at the Holy Sepulchre-a pilgrim
age such as this has ever been re-
garded by Christians as signal favor.
Yet no long, costly journey is needed
to see the exact replica of these scenes
or to gain the graces one would by
visit to the Holy Land. Here in Wash
ington at our famous Franciscan
Monastery is reproduced the Via Do
lorosa.
At the base of the Monastery's beau
tiful valley the first outdoor station
Of the Way Of the Cross is found.
Devout Christians daily, and especially
on Good Friday, pause at each of the
II monuments to the suffering Savior,
following in spirit His painful, stum-
bling journey to Calvary. The hill
side and its vending way are similar
to that of the steep hill of Calvary.
Golgotha was not a mountain, as is
commonly believed, but rocky, skull
shaped promontory, similar to the holy
hill right in the Brookland aMonas-
terry.
Corresponding to the way of sor-
row in Jerusalem is the same rocky,
rough path. Immense boulders dot
the wayside. Rocks the size Of the

Blanche Gertrude Lands, who
in her brief 20 years Of life was
granted a measure Of happiness,
to be followed by an over-flowing
cup Of sorrow, eliminating in the
prolonged agony of death brought
about by almost unbelievable bru-
tally, was tenderly laid in her
grave this morning.
AS the earth thudded on her
coffin at st. Mary's Cemetery her
husband, James Lands, 23-year-
old rookie fireman, charged with
having inflicted injuries which
brought about her death just be-
fore dawn last Friday morning,
faced a coroner'S jury at the Dis
trict Morgue and heard himself
branded by physician witness as
her slayer.
Lands IN TEARS
Around the morgue, as the good
looking prisoner was hustled into
Coroner'S court, was a throng Of
several hundred persons, who
pushed and showed for a glimpse
of him. His police guard had diff
ficulty in clearing a passage. He
was handcuffed and in tears as he
passed through the crowd, and
wept continuously as the hearing
progressed.
Coroner Magruder Macdonald
opened proceedings by reading to
the jurors and the packed court
room the official report on the po-
lice finding of Mrs. Lands body
at Twenty-fourth and Taylor
Streets Northeast, semi-conscious,
with her head and face terribly
beaten.
PART OF SKULL MISSING
The first witness was DR.. Ross
Young, receiving physician at Cas-
ualty Hospital, where the prison
er'S bride was brought following
discovery Of her lying in a coma
by Thomas Boss, a milkman max
ing his rounds.
DR.. Young brought gasps from
the crowded courtroom as he de-
scribed Mrs. lands injuries. cl>e
had been so badly beaten on the
head, he said, "a piece of her skull
was missing" The missing bone
fragment was picked up by police
at the tragedy scene.
Attorney Jean Boardman, for
the defense, interposed a question.
"IS it possible, DOCTOR" he
asked, "for these wounds to have
been caused by a fall from an
automobile?"
