Mrs. Harlan Fiske Stones Water Colors
Make Admirable Showing at Corcoran
Thomas HandfOrth
Has Fine Exhibit
At Arts Club
Bv Leila MechHn.

The exhibition of water colors by
Agnes Stone, wife of Chief Justice
Harlan Fiske Stone, which opened
in the Corcoran Gallery Of Art last
Tuesday, to continue through NO.
vember 16, is both admirable and re-
fresbing.
Mrs. Stones paintings are, IN the
first place, exceedingly well done,
as by one who has so mastered her
medium as to attain complete free-
dom of expression Her touch is
light, but very knowing; her method,
direct and assured.
Artists Prerogative.
Water colors have potentahtles
entirely their own, and this Mrs.
Stone has not only recognized, but
used to good advantage. Further
more the subjects she has selecteo
have inherent interest and, IN most
Instances. beauty. Figuratlvely, she
takes the observer by the mana ana
points out that which, in nature,
has made strong appeal to her. This
is every artists prerogatlVe, put
one not always remembered.
Many of the scenes which MRS
Stone has chosen are OF great. toW-
ering mountains lifting their Jagged
peaks high against the sky. these
were painted in the West, in Rocky
Mountain and Glacier Parks and

serve as the theme for a mural

sition, so impressive the feelng OF
form and grandeur manifested.
Dramatic Impression.
From the West also come pictures
of the Santa Fe Inn, the Taos

Thomas Hondforth Makes
DISTINGUISHED Showing

The Arts Club has seldom spon-
sored a more distinguished showing
than that of drawings and prints
by Thomas Handforth which is now
on view in its gallery.
Mr.. Handforth is, above all, a
master of line; but. as the years
have passed, he has learned to work
with brush and crayon with no less
ekill. He was born in Tacoma, Wash,
In 1897. and although he studied in
New York at the National Academy
and the Art Students League, as
well as in the Ecole des Beaux Arts
in Paris. it is the Orient that has
called him, and subjects found
therein that have given full play to
his genius.
He has spent years in China, set
ting up a studio in Tientsln, and
he has travelled extensively in 1ndo-
China and on the Malay Peninsula.
It is from these remote places. and
of those who dwell therein that the
drawings and prints which he is
now showing originally came.
Elephant Prints.
There are portraits in colored
crayon. there are groups; glimpses
are given of natives in their natural
habitats, from which the visitor may
turn TO pictures of the white man
IN his unnatural Oriental resorts. to
say nothing of elephant prints and
one of deer-all delightful.
Saint Gaudens is quoted as having
said that art is not what one does,
but the way one does it-Whlch,
whoever the author, is particularly
applicable to these works by Thomas
Handforth. Subjectively, they al
lure. but it is the genius of the artist
which sweeps the observer off his
feet. Nothing can explain this
quality or its reaction, but 1t must
be obvious to all, and to the sensi-
tive, peculiarly thrilling.
Youthful Vigor.
Strangely enough. the medium
used seems to make little difference
to Mr.. Handforth: he is adept with
all. But he suits his medium to his
theme. SOHlellllleS, Ilc puto SAitSA
dependence on line: then, again,
on surface modelling or on wash ap-
piled with a flowing brush. OF late
it is said that he has turned to illus
tration and the writing OF childfen's
tales-Oriental legends, which have
found ready sale. Among certain
enthusiastic collectors, lament is
heard that any of his time should
be taken from etching; but, appar-
emily, by extending his field, he has
found fresh expression and been
enabled to retain his youthful vigor
and spirit.
To point out the special merit Of
separate examples in the current ex-
hibition is quite unnecessary. They
speak for themselves. That Mr..
Handforth is represented in almost
all the leading print collections in
this country gives indication of
widespread recognition of achieve
ment of high order.

Urged TO Identify

Fingerprinting OF every resident

preparations for defense of the
city against any war invasion
This is advocated today by
Police Inspector T omas W..

Identification bureau. Said Dwyer ::
I'VE prepare for every other
eventuality in connection with

LONDON LEARNS
identification is most import
ant In cases of mass injury or
death. London is realizing now
the ecessity for universal
fingerprinting.'
Under Dryers direction APP
.proXimately 5000 persons working
on defense projects in Detroit
factories are being fingerprinted
each month.
Actual printing is done at. the
IplantS by factory employees trained
by Dwyer. However, in cases of
firms which employ 100 persons or
less, the police department does
the printing.
ORDERED BY. L. :.
The fingerprinting is in accord
Iance with a United States eXecu-
tive order intended to flush out
ANY possible Saboteurs or eSpion-
age agents.
Prints are fordWarded by the
Detroit Police Department 10 the
Federal Bureau of Investigation in

Some job seekers have turned
away when they learned they
must be fingerprinted. Dryer said.
EX-CONVICT CAN WORK
"In one instance we found a
former convict refused -to-be-

his record was no barrier to his
