Of splendor as In their simplicity
and intimacy. AS an artist was
lately heard to murmur to himself
when looking at some fine etch-
ings, ut really doesn't take much
to make a picture"
One Of the loveliest Of those
shown by Mr.. Wentzel is OF the
Decatur House. on the corner of H
street and Jackson place NV, with
the lights burning at the entrance.
Others, no less attractive, are Of
various statues: Jackson in La
fayette Square, shorn by darkness
and proper Illumination of all abb
surdity, and as Clark Mills, its
sculptor, must have envisioned it;
the Grant Monument at the foot OF
the Capitol, the Lincoln in the
Memorial, and others, lending dig
nifty and distinction. A view of the
Cosmos Club at night is very in
teresting, light streaming from the
high window Of the west lounge and
silhouetting the spirited bronze OF
Lafayette by Bartlett which stands
before it.
In every instance, Mr.. Vented
seems to have selected his viewpoint
with exceptional discrimination and
handled his light and shade with
conSummate skill.
A native of Dresden, Germany,
Mr.. Vented has lived in this coun-
try since childhood, first in Bing-
hamton, NJ Y, where he received
his elementary schooling, and then
in Washington, where he found en-
ployment as news photographer.
While SO employed, he studied dur
ing such spare time as was at his
disposal in the Phillips Gallery Art
School and the Corcoran School of
Art. 1t was thus that he learned to
know both his city and his medium,
and to use the latter as both seer
and artist.

The National Collection Of Fine
Arts, now housed in the National
Museum, is sometime to be given
adequate placement in the proposed
Smithsonian Gallery, to be erected
on the south side Of the Mall op-
posite the National Gallery Of Art.
At present, however, the available
quarters are so cramped that q large
part Of the works included therein
have to be held in storage. This is
unfortunate, but like the traditional
i'll wind which is not invariably evil
to all, makes it possible, under GER
tain conditions and restrictions, for
public institutions to obtain loans
therefrom. Thus, the Public Library
has borrowed, of late, four notable
paintings belonging to the Nation,
for display for period of six months
in three Of its branch library build
mgs.
To the Georgetown branch have
gone portraits of Thomas Mexican,
one Of the signers Of the Declaration
of Independence, painted by Charles
Wilson Peale, one of the greatest
of our early American artists. and
of Mary Abigail Whiting Coale by
Thomas Sully, also Of this disting-

20 Be Displayed for Month at
Women's City Club.
Henry w. Olson and Roger Rit-
ease, both local artists and members
of the Landscape Club of Washing
ton, are exhibiting throughout this
month in the Women's City Club.
Twenty-one of the 80 pictures
shown are by the former and in
clude both water colors and oils.
Mr.. Rittase shows only oils.
That these two painters should
exhibit together is interesting, as
their work is quite opposite in style
and character. Mr.. Olson Is a posi-
tive painter; his forms are all clear
cut, his differentiation of surfaces
and of light and shade is firmly fixed,
his touch is rather bold. Whereas,
Mr.. Rittase is, it is seen, chiefly en-
gagged in subtleties, atmosphere,
light, the nuances of color, and his
touch is very light. But this very
fact makes their joint showing
doubly valuable and significant. Mr..
Olson shows landscapes, still life,
seascapes and flowers, also q por-
trait of his mother. From Mr.. Rit-
tase have come such canvases rs
"Quiet Woods" Autumn Field" and
"Willows in Spring." all essentially
paintings of mood, in which an in
herent loveliness of nature is made
manifest. Among the most engaging
of Mr.. Olson's paintings are two
done In South Carolina-one Of
Goose Greek Church" and the
other Of "St. Andrews Church,
Charlestown"-and a picture Of
white peonies, which, in compost
ton and rendering, Is very decora-
tive.

in the adjacent gallery. Here, how
ever, with one or two exceptions,
the canvases are smaller and par
take somewhat more Of the charac-
ter of sketches, as, for example,
that of a bit of "Jaspar Park" by
Edith Hoyt, and those of George
town Corner" by Meta Craig Tur-
kenton, and Fishing Boats" by
William F. Walter. Here. too, are
still-life studies of pleasing quality:
"a Few Flowers" by Ruth Osgood;
"A Bouquet" by Grace M. Ruckman,
and unique study of "Crocuses,"
by Gladys N. Nelson Smith. the
chief factor in the composition Of
which is the shadow cast by the
flowers in a bowl as they stand on
a table under flood of light. Over
the mantel in this room hangs
painting Of california Marshes" by
Lila Tuckerman, which Is very in
teresting in design.
Finally, a word about the sculp-
ture. From Margaret French Cres-
son has come a portrait bust In
bronze of DR.. George Merrill when
but II years of age-a strong head
with boyish, happy but manly
face, both firmly and sensitively
modelled. With this are shown por-
trait studies in plaster of an elderly
woman by Eleanor Cox, which is,
perhaps, a little overdone, but at
the same time sympathetic, and
a head entitled "Lenore," the work
of Mary B. Fowler. which tips the
scales the other way in carrying
simplicity almost beyond rational
limit to the point where it becomes
convention-but, it must be added,
in the spirit Of today. Then. placing
just the right touch of Hghtness
freighted with sincerity, there are
two studies Of dogs in colored pot
terry, glazed, one Of Dalmatian
hound and the other Of two yellow
sh-brown cocker spaniels, the work
Of Kathleen Weaver, who has done
such excellent work in this medium
and is decidedly sculptor Of gift
and knowledge.
Washington, ever since the early
days of our Republic, has had It's
coterie of artists who could be de-
pended upon for works Of worthy
standard, and it still has them. In
fact, the number steadily increases,
it seems-which is as it should be.
The current exhibition Of the Arts
Club confirms this conviction.

Last Wednesday an exhibition OF
portrait drawings In colored pencils
by Allan Sloan opened in the Junior
League Gallery, to continue through
May 80. The following day Walt
Disney's Pinocchio drawings and cel-
luloids were placed on view in the
Whyte Gallery, the first exhibition
to be held therein under the new
management and In conjunction
with the Book Shop. This will run
until June 8 and If similar showing
Of Disney creations for film use in
the Metropolitan Museum Of Art,
New York. and the Phillips Gallery
in this city can be taken as criterion
of merit it may well be considered a
notable art event. After all, Disney
speaks the language OF today in
way which is thoroughly UNDER
standable and, at the same time, ir-
resistibly charming.
Completing this trio of exhibitions
opening toward the end of the past
week, too late for review today in
these columns, is an exhibition of
drawings and water colors by Her
man Palmer, which, through the
courtesy of Mrs. Prev Savoy and
Miss Chiyo Thomas, may be seen
at 1889 Twenty ninth street NV,
from 2 to 6 pm. today. Finally, In
the field Of handicraft, mention
should be made Of an exhibition of
Jugtown Pottery, under the auspices
Of the Cabin Handicrafters, which,
opening last Wednesday, will con-
tinue into the first week in June.

"Jt may debut it's a damned

Dare say-but I've dealt with

Gun laughed softly.
SO have I. I suppose. But this
one seems a little different, or per-
maps that's just my imagination"
They can't do more than kill
us. at the worst" Tommy grinned.
Gun said nothing, but inWardly
he thought: That's just it-they
CAN. and if we fail they Will"
They discussed the matter en-
haustively until dinner time, and
made 4 dozen plans, only TO reject
them again, or to hold them in re-
s5IvG.
During the meal Tommy was in
high spirits, and Gun had the
greatest difficulty in stopping him
from making some reference to the
escape, which would almost GER
taiIly be heard through the micro
phcrH. He thanked the gods, too,
that Trent and Otto would put his
checrfulncss down to the fact that
he was making progress with

would be all to tie good. Bat in

After dinner they went out into

Gun said, that it's quite impossi-

plan. It's all Il matter Of chance.
Anything may happen-and at any
minute"
and just a&sut that space of
time after he had spoken, the truth
OF his words was proved in a very
dramatic and unpleasant way.
There were sounds from the
gate. and Gun exclaimed sharply:
"Huilo! What's in the wind now?
That's Coral's voice"
They turned back to the bunga-
low to meet her.. She walked TO-
ward the door with her usual grace
full, rather languid walk, but Gun
scnsed from the tensity Of her fiS-
ure that she was holding herself

of 1889.

MESSAGE FROM
STATE HEALTH
DEPARTMENT

Here's an important message from
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, to parents
whose children will enter school this
fall.
"Don't forget, DR.. Riley said,
chat our Maryland law requires every
youngster to be vaccinated against
smallpox before he or she may be
enrolled in any public school in the
State. If you have neglected to have
your small son or daughter who is
starting to school this fall, protected
against this disease, don't wait any
longer. Go to your doctor or the
nearest health officer and have it
done.
physicians practicing in Maryland
are expected to vaccinate all babies
under their care before they are a
year old. Until the children are of
school age, the responsibility rests
with the parents. After that it is
shared by the school authorities. Any
teacher, school commissioner or trus-
tee who admits child who has not
been successfully vaccinated against
smallpox is liable to a fine of ten
dollars.
eve hear so little about smallpox
in Maryland that it is hard for us
to realize how prevalent it is else
where. We can point with consider
able pride to the fact that we have
been practically free from the di-
sease for over ten years. One case
listed as smallpox-was reported in
1885, but the diagnosis was doubted
by those familiar with the diseases.
With that exception our record has
been blank since 1880.
"But you will find a very different
picture if you look at the records of
other sections of the country. Over
1900 cases have been reported to the
U. S. Public Health Service since the
first of this year. The majority &C.
Cured in states in which vaccination
is not compulsory.
"Some idea of what is likely to
happen when vaccination is not re-
quired, may be gathered from the
experience of the State of Kansas
which has very nearly the same pop
luation as Maryland, but which does
not have a vaccination law. Nearly
