in one, without sex or individuality,
yet all spirit.
There are in this exhibition two
charming portrait heads Evelyn"
in bronze, "Danita" in pewter-both
set forth realistically, although with
a certain classic dignity. But good
as they are it is quite certain that
Mr.. Lovet-Lorski reaches his great
est height when given free rein in
the realm Of imagination. His small
torsos of women and his little figures,
q little more than half length, are
exquisite, not only in proportions
and form, but artistic expression
all unconscious beauty-and beauty
such as the Greeks once understood
and of which the world never tires.
In all probability his love and
knowledge of music has Influenced
Mr.. Lovet-Lorski In his work in
sculpture, causing emphasis on
rhythmn and bringing forth flowing
line; also he has the sense of decora-
ton bred In the bone of Russians
of his day by the great expositors
of design associated with the theater.
These elements manifest themselves
in his "Cretan Dancers" in brass
and his Horses" in bronze-both
pairs full of force and action, yet
modelled in two dimensions only as
double relief, and stylized-but
legitimately.
Most sensitive and lovely is the
head Of a young girl in light green
onyx, very like jade-the mouth al
most a shadow but aquiver with feel
ing. One popularity runs through
all of Mr.. Lovet-Lorski's sculptured
heads, which are his own concep-
ton, and that is the almost uni
versal use of what he calls the

these two attractive girls, some
years ago, Nine. de Romer showed
a second portrait version, which
while smaller, was no less pleasing
and competent in the matter OF
workmanship. In an oval frame was
q portrait of Miss Mabel Boardman
pronounced by her friends an ex-
cellent likeness and resembling not
little the portraits in pastel done
by the French painters Of the early
18th century.
Nine. de Romer seems to have q
special gift for depicting children
and young people and one Of her
most successful small studies was
of the head Of Counselor and Nine.
Wanwokicz's son-a lad of perhaps
IA or Is years of age. Besides which
mention should be made of her
painting in one frame of the three
Woodring children presented in a
decorative fiat style with floral back
ground.

nounces a series of 10 lectures on
American art to be given by Eugen
Weisz, vice principal, in the school
auditorium on successive Tuesday
evenings from February z to April
IL at $3.50 o'clock. These lectures,
which will deal with the leading
painters and sculptors from the time
Of the American Revolution to today,
will be illustrated not only by stere-
opticon slides, but by original ex-
amples in the collection Of the Cor
coran Gallery Of Art. They are
purposed primarily for the benefit of
students Of the school to whom they
are free, but to extend their use
fulness outsiders who are interested
will be allowed to subscribe for the
course for a single payment Of IS
for the 10. Application should be
made to the secretary of the school,

Foreign Lecturers
Heard Recently.
Two very distinguished lecturers

been heard here in washington. At

both ends, but differing from the
Egyptian eye in its setting. This
may be prompted by a desire,
amounting to a determination, to
get away from reality and so to
stress the universal. Art, he claims,
quite rightly, is not the setting down
of things as they are, but Of Great
ing from them something which ex-
tends natures intention. But II
should in this connection be re-
marked that in none Of the works
produced by this artist is there dis
tortion or evident wish to shock.
The simplicity Of his work Is not
that OF ignorance. such as is seen
in the creative efforts Of primitive
people, but the outcome Of knowl-
edge gained by familiarity with the
great art of the past. It is this,
with its unity of purpose and ex-
preston, which gives to 1t beauty
of an enduring and at times almost
overpowering sort. We are fortunate
to have opportunity to gain ac-
quaintance with such work and in
debted both to the sculptor and the
Corcoran Gallery of Art for the
privilege.
Webster's Water Colors
And Drawings Shown.
Another very delightful special
exhibition is to be seen In the Cor
coran Gallery of Art at this time.
It consists of drawings and water
colors by Herman A. Webster the

should be bad art rather than good
surely of the former we have enough
of our own. Furthermore, it should
not be forgotten that there is still
glamour of Paris and of that which
is Partisan, and when French art is
shown under the distinguished au-
spices of the Museum of Modern Art,
New York, and sponsored by its sup
porters in Washington, the public is
apt to take merit for granted even
when it does not exist. It may be
interesting to know what is going on
abroad, but we should be sure that 1t
is the best, not the worst, that we
are taking as criteria.
This exhibition will continue un-
til February 26, and is open to the
public under the usual conditions.
Louet-Lorskts Sculpture
Is on Exhibition.
An event of utmost Importance
artistically is the exhibition of sculp-
ture by Boris Lovet-Lorski, which
opened in the Corcoran Gallery of
Art last Thursday and will continue
to and through February 81. The
sculptor is Russian by birth and
upbringing and studied in Petrograd,
first architecture, then music, then
sculpture, at time when that city
was giving to the world some of the
greatest art of the age, on the stage,
in the theater and the music hall,
to say nothing of literature. From
them he seems to have caught the
contagion and learned what art
really means-not imitation, but
creation-a reaching up and out for
that which is both expressive and
fine. Also from these masters he
must have found out that to attain
to heights in this field 1t is neces-
sary to subject oneself to the stern
est discipline. to be willingly en-
slaved to genius and count the cost
not loss, but gain. Whatever he does
is wrought with all the skill at his
command. gladly as well as fear
fully, perhaps agonizingly, and 50
brought to full completion. The re-
suit is simplicity and seeming ease,
which goes hand in hand with
rightness. Obviously his work is
modern. as 1t is of today, but also it
Is timeless.

LABOR SITUATION, SALMON INDUSTRY,
 MOST INTERESTING
Famed Authority Gives His Views Regarding AL
 askd Conditions

SEATTLE, Sept. 12.-Dr. Don Lescohier. nationally famed author ity on labor relations, declares that the great distance from the union and company headquarters at which workers who must be. sent from the outside for work in the Al aska salmon industry are located makes the labor situation in this industry one of the most interest ing in American labor
 pr. Lescohier, who is professor of economics at the University of Wisconsin, is at present featuring on labor relations to business men attending the Institute of Public Relations being held at the Univerz slty of Washington.
 While in the Pacific Northwest, he has been surveying the labor situation in Alaska's salmon in .'s- try. He has visited headquarters of unions involved in the industry, discussing problems with union Of ficers and representatives of can ming companies.
 Special Interview
 In a special interview for the newspapers of Alaska, Dr. Lescho- hier stated that there were nun Der of problems arising out of the geography of the industry and the short season that made the labo. problem unique and difficult Among the serious problems, he named the dispatching problem, 1e varying food requirements of the races, involved, and the unusual extension of the check-off system to cover many items beyond the union dues.
 The number of races involved end the consequent problems re- garding' the type of meals to be served is a problem seldom found in other industries. This problem is in effect part of the wage question, since the food of the men is part of their wages Dr Leschohier said.
 Vital Problem
 Because the union must select the crew to be turned over to the employer, which must then transported from 800 to 2,500 m'le; away to do the seasons work the responsibility of the union for see ing that satisfactory workers are dispatched is exceedingly great. The impossibility of making changes 1T the crew after the season staits makes this a vital problem in op- erating the industry"
 Dr. Lescohier declared that iron what he had observed, the prese; leadership of the cannery worke $ union recognized this responsibil' ity.
 We are coming to realize tha' unions are a business organization Unions must handle their affairs in a businesslike manner, just as a bank must, if they are to con tinue in operation. AS the unior organizations grow older they tenc to be better and more snundly run, he concluded.
