VOLUNTARY SERVICE GROUP ANNOUNCES IDEALS AND PLANS


 The following has been received from the Headquarters of the Am- erican Women's Voluntary Services Inc, of the plans and ideals of the group, unit of which is being or ganized in Juneau
 America is preparing for an em- ergency.
 Everywhere men are being enlist ed to meet it-in industry and busl- ness, in voluntary defense oraniza- ticns as well as the armed forces of he United States, Americas men are answering their country's call. What can women do?
 Women also can prepare to take their part in meeting this emergency. Women are needed today, and they may be needed even more tomorrow They are needed now, because now is the time to prepare for the future. ! Jobs must be filled-and they must 1 be filled by volunteers who know the work, not just knitting and sewing although these are vital, but the driving of trucks, aeronautics, ev- acuation, mass feeding, first aid, communications, agriculture, and numerous other essential tasks which women can do. Women are needed to fortify the defense of dem- ocracy, to keep America growing and going in peace as well as in times of crisis.
 But where can women learn these things? How can they know in just what capacities they are needed? And When?
 Obviously, the answer to these questions is national and co-ordin- ated program of and for women. The one organization offering such a pro- gram is the American Women's Vol untary Services.
 There are two aspects to it's plan. It prepares women to meet emergen- cies and it serves as clearing house of information so that able volun- teers may be made available to phil anthropic, public service organiza- tionS.
 Opportunity
 Operating through local Units in American cities and towns, AW V.S stresses the vital qualities of peace patriotism, preparedness and public service. Every woman has an op portunity in A.W.V.S. membership to help in the defense of America and to unite in work for it's insti- tutions. Women share the abundant blessings of democracy; theirs is a large share in safeguarding it. Under the local Unit plan. courses in preparation for defense work are being offered to volunteers of the American Women's Voluntary Ser vices. There are:
 Preparedness course, first aid, auxiliary nursing, communications, diet and canteen, agriculture, motor transport and repair, office work, emergency services, aeronautics, photography and map reading. Volunteers also are being invited to contribute to the community we'll being by offering their services to l philanthropic agencies operating for the public interest. in: Aid to the handicapped, knitting and sewing, office work, settlement work, day nurseries, and others.
 Find your place in this program. For every talent, there is a job-for every job, and American woman-a job in the service of her country. Join your local Unit.

Revised Concerto

Minor" last summer.
The work in its new form will
be performed by the Philadelphia
Orchestra, with Mr.. Rachmaninoff
at the piano. at the opening of the
orchestra's Washington season in
Constitution Hall October 81.
In revising the concerto Mr..
Rachmaninoff has changed a large
part of the orchestration and has
rewritten the final movement COM
pletely. His reason for doing this
is that he was not satisfied with the
composition in its original form,
performed for the first time by the
Philadelphia Orchestra in its home
city in March, 1927. The composer
had completed it the preceding sum-
mer during a vacation at Coubevoie,

ment used or the manner of using.
Cuthbert Lee, in his excellent book
on Early American Portrait Paint
ers," quotes him as saying to his
pupil Jouett: In the commence
ment of all portraits, the first idea
is an indistinct mass of light and
shadow; or the character Of the per-
son as seen in the heel of the eve
ming, in the gray of the morning,
or at a distance too great to dis
criminate features with exactness.
Too much light destroys. as too lit
tie hides the colors, and the true and
perfect image of man is to be
seen only in misty or hazy atmo-
sphere"
But there is nothing vague or un-
certain about Stuart's manner of
painting, even when he worked in a
high key. 1t is true, however, that
he varied his style to suit his sitter;
also, that, like every one else, he
did not invariably succeed. He is
at his best in his portrait of Gen.
Knox in the Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston, and in his Shipper in the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, as well as
in those already mentioned as a
part of the National Gallery's per-
manent collection in which he
achieved very high level, one to
which few have been able to attain.
He is said to have painted more
than 1000 portraits. How remark
able it would be if all were master
pieces! The marvel is that so many
of the entire number were. And
how splendidly they have survived,
embued with the character of the
painters sitters and his own par
ticular genius-a genius many-fac-
eted and thus not always the same
but invariably sound and aristo-
cratic in the extreme.
Stuart died in Boston in 1928. His
grave-designated only by number,
"61," was discovered in the old CEN
trail burying ground at Bolyston
street and the Common in 1897, and
was appropriately marked by the
Boston Paint and Clay Club.
Comment on the group of paint
ings by later men-Sully, Waldo,
Jouett and Krimmel-must. for lack
of space. be postponed until next
Sunday. AS the loan is indefinite, 1t

18th Century French Art

In anticipation of the exhibition
of French art from the Chester Dale
collection, which, according to an
nouncement, is to open in the Ma
tional Gallery of Art early in No
vember, two publications which have
just come from the Hyperion Press
of New York are of particular inter-

Rochblave, the latter by Camille
Mauclair. The formal of both is
l0x13 inches, and the numerous &C
companying illustrations, the ma
jority of which are in color, are full
page.
Among the outstanding French
artists of the 18th century whose
works are dealt with, and influence
analyzed, are those of such various
gifts as Corot, David Ongres, Geri-
cault. Delacroix, Couture, Courbet,
Millet, Messonier. Daumier. Degas,
Manet, Renoir, Forain, Sisley and
others, with whom the public OF

an important painting by Honore
Daumier, entitled Advice to

can Phillips.
Mr.. Phillips, trustees of the Ma
tional Gallery as well as director Of
the Phillips Memorial Gallery, ac-
quired the painting after it had
passed through the Guillotin, Tav-
ernier and Cronier collections of
Paris and the Georg collection of
Reims. 1t is the first painting by
18th century French artist to enter
the National Gallery's permanent
collection. Daumiers friend and
benefactor, Corot. the great land
scape and figure painter, owned the
work until his death in 1875.

overturning tradition but, at the
same time. never disregarding it.
By them. the stream of art was
made to flow into new channels. If
some, following in their footsteps
along new paths, lost their way, it
is not for us to hold the innovators
accountable. Art reflects not merely
life, but cultural trends. The French
art of the 18th century, as one may
now clearly see, had in it the germ
of world movements which have so
perplexingly developed, threatening
to overwhelm US, in this later day.
To know and endeavor to under
stand it is therefore of utmost i'm
UOrtance.
