Nozis Producing Caffeine

and potence of the real thing.
Nazi chemists already are producing
caffeine synthetically from German raw
products on large scale, the newspaper
Koelnische Zeitung reports.
TheiD next step is to perfect ways of
"innoculating" the caffeine into the grain
coffee which they have produced to meet
the nations coffee shortage.
In addition to these laboratory expert
ments, army chemists are reported to be
conducting tests Of their own to see hou
the synthetic caffeine will go with SUBJ
stitute coffee made from rye and barley
"The German soldier, and perhaps the
civil population, may soon be able to
obtain a beverage which conveys the
stimulation of real coffee" the news
paper said.
For the present, however, the German
hausfrau must be content with giving

in recent years become so used to
works of art which declare their
merits by superstrength and ar
resting technique that those which
reticently essay perfection are in
danger too often of being negligently
passed by. But it is the latter which
after all are pleasantest to live with.
Mr.. Miller's portrait heads of chill
dren are at the same time strong
and subtle and cannot be readily
overlooked, but his nude figures of
Daphne" "The Listener" and "The
Sphinx" last in alabaster-are
SO delicately handled that their
beauty is of an intangible kind hard
to define. They are poems in sculp-
ture, lovingly wrought, but with
knowledge and the utmost technical
skill. In the same category is his
figure of "Atalanta," which the
sculptor considers his greatest
achievements figure in which
there is perfection of form, beauty
of line and correct imagery of mo-
ton. None of these works is mod
eled, but rather cut directly from
the block Of wood-released, as it
were, by the sculptor's knife or
chisel, which, however, must never
blunder. Here is a very successful
blending Of art and craft.

Water Coiors on View

Mr.. Miller's sculptures are shown

Corcoran Gallery's permanent coll

Walter Paris, and Broadway, Rainy

Totten Paintings Displayed

At the Little Gallery in George
town an exhibition of paintings and
prints by Ralph j. Totten is current.
Working in these media was OBJ
viously hobby and recreation for
Mr.. Totten while he was in the
United States Foreign Service. and
since his retirement about three
years ago he has devoted more time
to painting and print-making.
Mr.. Totten's nearly 30-year career
in the Foreign Service had both its
inception and conclusion in Roose-
welt administration. In 1908 Presi-
dent Roosevelt appointed him con.
sui at Puerta Plata, Dominican Re-
public, and the service took him
from the West Indies to South
America, Europe and Africa. He was
Minister to South Africa from 1880
to his retirement in 1887. At inter-
walls he has been detailed at the
State Department, and consequently
was well known here before he be-
came a permanent resident.
He has been a hunter of big game
on four continents and few of his
works in the present show hint Of
expeditions. A painting and several
prints depict water bucks in the
African bushveldt, but the majority
Of his exhibited works are land
scapes, harbor scenes, flowers and
still life, presumably souvenirs of
peaceful expeditions IN this country.
A small painting entitled Cape of
Good Hope" is an essay in a heavily
augmented technique more promis-
ing than that in which most of his
paintings are executed. This ex-
hibition remains until March 30.

led up a blind alley to no result.
Five or six years ago Mr.. Dallin, still
pursuing his ideal, determined to
model the statue full size and did
so with the vigor of one retaining
his youth. The full size model was
approved for erection under the
terms of trust established for such
purpose, but again there was post
ponement. Now, however, after an
other wait of four years, the con-
tract is signed and the work of cast
ing in bronze will proceed.
Mr.. Dallin was born in Utah, the
son of pioneers who crossed the con-
tinent in a covered wagon, and he
began modelling in clay before he
had ever seen work in sculpture,
inspired, he says, by the formation
Of the mountains constantly in sight.
Later he studied in Paris, but the
greater part of his life has been
dedicated to presenting in sculpture
the American Indian at his best.
Among his well-known works are
The Appeal to the Great Spirit" in
Boston, THE Medicine Man" Phila-
delphia The Scout" Kansas City,
and Signal of Peace Chicago. He
is represented here by statue Of
Sir Isaac Newton in the Library

opening of the exhibition last Sum
day. They were the work of her
father, Guido Mayr (well remem-
bered by every one who saw the re-
cent plays, as he gave a dynamic in
depreciation Of the role of Judas.
The carvings include a crucifix. a
head of Christ crowned with thorns,
several exquisite little figures of the
Madonna and Child, cherubs, a lamb
and related subjects, beautifully
carved in the traditional manner
which Mrs. Lang said had it's incep-
ton in Bavaria as long ago as the
18th century.
Different kinds of woods are util-
lied, pear, linden and birch being
the materials of the carvings in the
present show. There is very little
farming in the mountainous part of
Bavaria where Oberammergau is
located, she explained, and the win
ters are long and dark; hence, such
crafts as wood carving and pottery
flourish.
DR.. Lang's brother, Herr Friedl
Lang, who has come recently to this
country on his way to Hudson Bay,
Canada, where he is to work with
the flying missionary priest, Father
Schultz, also spoke Informally at the
Chalet Nonpareil opening, discussing
the pottery exhibits, all of which bore
the mark of Anton Lang, the re-
nowned Christus in several passion
plays. The family craft in Ober-
ammergau is now carried on by his
oldest son.
The pottery on exhibition in Be-
thesda is remarkably varied in
shapes, glazes, colors and decora-
tions. There are many brightly
colored vases, bowls and stems Of
what might be called a "peasant"
type, and also plaques, plates and
other items exquisitely decorated
with floral motifs, heads of the
Madonna and other religious sub
jects, and finished in a mat or
creamy glaze which deserve to be
used as wall decorations.

Portraits of Indians
Works OF Eben F. Con1ins Are

Handsomely ShoDn.
The exhibition of portrait draw
ings of Indians of North, South and
Central America by Eben F. Comins
of this city, which opened in the
Art Gallery of the new Interior De-
partment Building, c street between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets,
q little more than a week ago, is
attracting wide and favorable at
tention, and with excellent reason.
Not only is the character and quail
ity of the work shown fine, but the
arrangement of the display is un-
commonly pleasing. In the first
place, the portraits are hung at
precisely the right height and suffi-
ciently spaced to be seen agreeaply
and, secondly, a touch of color and
added interest has been given by
the introduction of a few examples
of Indian weaving-colorful and
appropriate in pattern.
There could be no more appro-
pirate place in which to show the
portraits of these Indians than the
Art Gallery of the Department of
the Interior, for under this same
roof is the Office of Indian Affairs,
with its showroom of Indian crafts,
and here, on certain walls, are now
to be seen mural paintings by Amer
lean Indians which place the artists
OF this race among the foremost In
America today.
What better reaction can por-
tralt produce than a desire to know
more OF the mind and achievement
OF the sitter or sitters? It is this
desire that the portraits of Mr..
Comins engender and which works
close at hand will be found to
satisfy.

1t should not be forgotten, how

their part in this development, for
it is without doubt the Indian crafts
men who have kept the native arts
alive. On the first floor of the In

baskets, pottery, and silversmith
products as fine in design and work.
manship as any the Indians have
ever produced. Not in any instance
work of a commercial order, but
thoroughly artistic and professional
in every respect.
The portraits by Mr.. Comins, the
murals by the young Indian painters
and the craft work by the expert
enced craftsmen of the various
tribes, in combination, give evidence
of spirit moving among these an
cient people of America which
should certainly stir not only in
terest, but proper pride.

colors as a medium. Homer, who
was largely accountable for the
turning of the tide, is not at his best
in the two examples shown, which,
presumably, were early rather than
late works, and not comparable to
his water color, Logging" which
the Corcoran Gallery of Art pur-
chased in the first decade of the
present century. But they do show
that he apparently began even, or
at scratch, with his fellow water
colorists-if he did, finally, widely
outdistance them. The water colors
by Everett Warner and Walter Paris
are technically very clever, but
neither has the sparkle or freshness
of those by Miss Riley and Mr..
Weisz. Viewing these works, the
thought comes to mind that it is a
pity art museums do not give more
attention to collecting. for per-
manent display, works in this en-
gaging medium. The Boston and
the Brooklyn museums are prac-
tically the only ones that have
stressed by acquisition notable ex-
amples Of water color painting.

Renaissance Portraits

Apropos of the ladies of the Re-
naissance, it is of interest to know
that Is portraits by master painters
of that era included in the collec-
ton given by Samuel H. Kress to
our National Gallery of Art are
now on view in the Knoedler Gal
leries, New York, where with 10
others lent by private collectors they
are being shown for the benefit of
worthy charity-the Lenox Hill
Neighborhood Association. In this
instance all those represented are
not Of the gentler sex, but they are
in the majority.
Some conception of the richness
of the Kress collection and the ex-
amples of the several Italian schools
represented therein was given by
the recent showing of photo
chromatic slides of variety of the
paintings which are to come to
Washington, held under auspices of
the Washington Society of the Fine
Arts in the lecture hall of the United
States Chamber of Commerce. This
showing was accompanied by de-
scriptive and appreciative comment
by Mr.. Pichetto, long familiar with
the collection which enhanced in
terest, but the beauty of the works
frankly manifested itself. How much
more will the originals declare the
genius of the painters! Through the
generosity of Mr.. Mellon, and now
Mr.. Kress, great privilege and en-
joyment await-and, happily, at no
distant future, all Washingtonians
as we'll as visitors to our Capital City.

sophical and in significance univer-
sal. This is art of a highly intel
lectual order, but for that reason
none the less skillful nor truly dis
ciplined. To attain his end Van
Konijnenburg resorts at times to
distortion and essentially modernis-
tic expression. His theme is the
destruction of the old order and the
establishment of one which is far
superior and new. At times the
depths through which man must
pass to achieve this end are terrify-
ing, but there are here and there
glints of beauty which compensate.
Certainly there is a wide difference
between these serious and studiously
worked out themes and much of the
raw and casual of the day. OF espe-
cial interest, furthermore, in the
collection on view are portraits of
Dutch ladies of quality, which re-
mind one of those of the Italian
Renaissance whose beauty and artis-
tocratic lineage the painters Of
that day have perpetuated In their
paintings. After all, PROCESS is not
always in straight line, but along
