Mr.. Barnes whales, of which he
shows three varieties, are not
whales but dolphins. But who cares,
so long as they are insistent with
life and bend themselves in a grace
full bow as they leap from the sea.
These and other pieces by Mr..
Barnes are done in thin wood, al
most in silhouette, and with very
simple modelling, the decorative mo-
tive being most pronounced. In this
manner he has produced group of
fish-"Small Fry"-swimming, very
taking in outline and inference.
This does not mean, however, that
he is not attracted by bulk and
form, or that he does not employ
these fundamentals of sculpture in
the round well. Such erroneous sup
position is completely refuted by his
figures in cherry of John Bunyan"
with his famous bull and "Appleseed
John" also an important character
in mountain folklore. These are
approximately 40 inches high and
roughly hewn from single block
It was one of his neighbors, Cher
okee Indian. who helped him find
the fallen tree from which Apple
seed John" was brought to life. OBJ
viously this is rough carving-but
roughness in this instance suits the
theme. The old man of the noun
tain would be quite out of place, fig
uratively speaking, in dinner coat
and high hat. When the subject is
primitive the treatment may well
be simple and bold. 1t is interest
ing to note, however, that in the
treatment of "Appleseed Johns
beard Mr.. Barnes has employed an
ancient idiom, which only goes to
show that all art is fundamentally
one.
Very excellent and finely finished
are two small heads of Negro boy
and girl, "Sulk" and Sunshine, y
both in ebony and both lent by Rob-
ert M. Waggaman of this city, who
is fortunate in their possession
Likewise seriously studied are two
torsos, of which one in white wood,
lent by Mrs. William Hurd Hill, is
outstanding for strength and dig

Lecture Is Scheduled
Ancient Arts OF China to Be
Subject of Miss Guest.

A lecture on THE Ancient Arts of
China" by Grace Dunham Guest,
assistant director of the Freer Gal
lery of Art, will be given under the
auspices of the Washington Society
of the Fine Arts next Wednesday
evening, January 10. in the lecture
hall of the United States Chamber
of Commerce. The Chinese AM
bassador, DR.. HUI Shih, one of the
leading scholars of China, will be
present and has kindly consented
to make few Introductory remarks.
The Freer Gallery is especially rich
in examples of the ancient arts of
China, and it is from these that
Illustrations, in the form of stereop-
ticon slides, will be drawn. The
fact that they may be studied at the
Freer Gallery of Art at first hand
will give Miss Guests comment
upon them added interest and value.
Miss Guest has known the collec-
ton since its inception, having been
acquainted with Mr.. Freer and the
treasures he brought together, in
Detroit, before the gallery here was
built, and the works transferred to
Washington. She has literally lived
with them ever since, adding to her

little incongruous, it may seem. to
have carved whales and pelicans in
a remote mountain fastness, far re-
moved from the sea, but after all,
why not, if he could carve them
well, as undoubtedly he has, and
given them true expression. Some
carping realist may complain that

needs no introduction to those who
habitually attend Washington exhi-
bitions, for she has exhibited for
some years regularly, with the So
ciety of Washington Artists and
Washington Water Color Club and
also held one-man shows in the Arts
Club and elsewhere. Her summer
home is at Great Darlington, Mass,
and there. last fall, she held COM
prehensive exhibition of her recent
paintings which attracted much fa-
vorable attention She studied first
at the Pittsburgh School of Design
and later with Chase, Hawthorne,
Shell and others.
At the private view of these exhi-
bitions at the Arts Club this after
noon the guests will be received by
Mrs. Zimmele and Roland Lyon,
both of whom are artist members.
Museum as Educator
ILLUSTRATED Set" Giues Key to
Greek Life in Fifth Century.
The Museum News, published by
the American Association of Mu-
seums, with headquarters here in
Washington, calls attention in its
most recent issue to "the shift of
emphasis from the custodial func-
ton of the American Museum to it's
opportunities for educational and
other service" which it declares now
to be nearly everywhere an accom-
plished fact" No longer does the
Museum of Art merely serve as a
treasure house, but as a distributing
center for education along certain
lines, most closely relating art to
life. To this end almost every such
institution in this country now
maintains department charged
with the responsibility of bringing
art to the people and the people to
art. Undoubtedly some of the effect
exerted along these lines has been
futile; and out of the narrow path,
so long trod, some have stepped into
the wide path of popularization,
which inevitably leads to destruc-
tfon; but great advance has been
made and there is promise of still
better service and understanding in
the future. For instance, the So
called illustrative sets" placed in
circulation and purposed for pub
lication by the Extension Depart
ment of the Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston. One of these sets was shown
at the conference on the extension
OF cultural relations through art,
held by the Department of State
last autumn, and two have now been
published; one on Greek Athletics
and Festivals of the Fifth Century,"
with text by Hester Harrington Stow,
and the other on "Elizabethan Eng
land" with text by Franklin B. Will
liams.
In each instance these sets COM
prise large portfolio of reproduce
tions of illustrative works of the
period dealt with-museum exhibits
with explanatory text for the aid
OF teachers and the edification of
their pupils. In other words, apply
ing the principles of visual educa-
ton, they re-create the life of a
given era and supply the best kind
of background for events connected
Herewith. One hundred such sets
have been prepared, SO of which are

The Arts Club
Water Colors BY a Champion

AT the Arts Club OF washington
there will open this afternoon, with
private view, two exhibitions which
promise to be of exceptional inter-
est; one of water colors by Dwight
C. Shepler of Boston, the other of
travel sketches by Margaret S. Zim-
mele of this city. Mr.. Shepler is a
young painter, a recent graduate of
Williams College, and better known
as skier and Skater-in fact, with
an international reputation in both
these SPORTSMAN as painter, al
though recently in this professional
capacity he has advanced to front
rank. With him sport and art have
gone, and still 60, hand in hand. 1t is
said that when he Skied in SwitZer-
land, Germany and Italy, as well as
in New England, Canada and the
Rockies, breaking records and max
ing high scores, he carried his
brushes and colors in his haversack
and painted whenever opportunity
offered, between exploits. It is this
knowledge of the white world of WIN
ter and skiing which. it is claimed,
gives his skiing pictures authenticity
But to have achieved the success he
has, he must have more than this
gift and craftsmanship-as well,
perhaps, as a real love of nature.
Judging from reproductions of his
water colors. his style is broad and
direct. He has done some cover de-
signs for well-known magazines, a
little illustrating and portrait of
DR.. Harry A. Garfield of this city,
formerly president of Williams Col
lege, the artists alma mater.
The work of Margaret S. Zimmele

we'll as find amusement by the way
side when producing.
His varied use of woods of differ
ent colors and grains is engaging
and his indifference to cracks and
blemishes remarkable. They do no
harm" he says. "and sometimes in
drying out cure themselves" Nat
urally it is impossible to get WELL
seasoned woods in the mountains Of
North Carolina, where timber is
either cut to burn or, If it falls of
itself, lies and rots. In two in
stances Mr.. Barnes has interest
ingly combined a white and a black
wood in the same piece of sculpture,
one in the case of penguin and
the other of duck, both of which
have been given white breasts with
excellent effect. Also in some of his
works he has employed stone-some
soft, some very hard-but with equal
success. In this medium he shows
two little boats, sloops, in full sail,
scurrying through the sea with the
wind on their quarter. 1t is no easy
matter to indicate motion, speed,
without restlessness. but in these
small pieces Mr.. Barnes has very
nearly, if not quite, achieved the
next to impossible.
The Cranbrook Academy at
Bloomfield Hills, Mich, established
by George G. Booth and including
on its faculty artists of such world
renown as the Swedish sculptor
Carl Miles and the architect Eliel
Saarenin, has recently awarded
Carroll Barnes a scholarship for ad-
vanced study, signal compliment
and one which offers exceptional
opportunity, especially now when he
has gone sufficiently far to learn
from others while still standing on
his own feet.

following year, 1879, he died. That
he had a talent for friendship as
well as art was testified by the
devotion to him not only of Corot,
but of other of the great artists
of the period-men of 1830-among

DODGERS and ked Sox Get

One valuable yardstick to put on

Last season the Yankees and
Reds became champions because
they were able to grow fat on the

only nine decisions.
