FLUORESCENT LAMPS

Power companies could make a big contribution to the national defense by pushing the sale of huorescent lamps, the newsletter suggested re- gently.
 "Fluorescent lights make reduced costs possible" it said. Using about a third as much current, they give as high light level as ordinary incan- descent bulbs. So they save con- suners' money, and they help defense by conserving power,

BUY TIRES

A shortage of rubber and the higher cost of textiles for reinforcing will raise tire prices, the Consumers Union newsletter warns.

stopped to think For one wild moment she
had thought she could defy convention but now
her courage was like balloon that had been
pricked. She would have been miserable.
TWO tears slid down her cheeks, but she
! brushed them away. and then had to laugh
a little at herself for she had a real sense Of
humor. she picked up the official documents,
still scattered about the floor, got her bag off
the desk and walked over to the mirror at
one side of the room.
IF only 1 were beautiful" she thought
looking at herself in the glass. She wasn't
beautiful but she was pretty. She had-Sef
dark brown hair that curled nicely, a small
tilted nose, largish mouth that was attrac-
tive when she smiled big grey eyes with a
few freckles under one of them She had
trim figure with shapely legs that had deep
golden tan on them Yes the reflection the
mirror gave back to her should have salts
fled anyone. but June felt she hated it. once
in every girls life she longs TO be superbly
beautiful June longed for it then.
Ashley was already seated in her small,
rather dHapdated two-seater on which she had
recklessly spent almost all her savings. 1t

June said: Would you like TO drive 2'
Ho slanted a smile at her mo, darling
IT'S such fun watching you drive ] love TO
see you doing the wrong thing in the most
confident possible way The noise you make
changing gears is sweet music in my ears
and the way you jam on your brakes has to
be seen 20 be believed"
June laughed The embarrassment she
had felt a moment before was eased. She
switched on the engine, put the car into gear
and drove 10 out through the gates Henri the

what it feels like for a man TO have a daughter

She nodded "Rumor has it that the grand
mother quarreed bitterly with her son and

She waited for him to say more but ne

Marjorie Phillips Displays
Wide Variety of. Paintings

1t is not every artist whose works
gather strength and significance
through aggregation, as do those of
Marjorie Phillips, which, at present,
fill the main gallery on the second
fiooor of the Phillips Memorial Gal
lery. One is in the habit of see
ing here important works OF art by
artists of great reputation, but there
is fresh charm about these paint
ings by Mrs. Phillips which fully
compensateS for any possible lost
glamour bestowed by fame during the
customary years of probation. OBJ
viously, Mrs Phillips has the artists
vision, the power to see and correctly
evaluate, in addition to which she
evidently possesses an inherent SEN
sitiveness to beauty in its simplest
and most reticent forms. The land
scapes she has painted, and is now
showing, are, for the most part,
broad views of open country, up
lands rolling to mountainous heights,
gently and rhythmically, without
strong demarcation of light and
shade or dramatic implication, but
serene, peaceful, reassuring-lovely
in the best sense of the word, the
kind of landscape which engenders
love of the soil, love which may
find best expression in that patriot
ism involving both life and death.
Occasionally, in her landscapes,
Mrs. Phillips introduces figures and
animals. In Morning Walk" there
are two women making their way
briskly over a country road, fol-
lowed by a happy little dog. In
'Plowing," the plowman and his
team are to be seen in the fore

The element of beauty is upper
most in the wood engravingS, among
them Isaac Sanger's Road to Great
Darlington" Charles r. Gardner's
'Fairmount. Park" philadelphia
and M. Lois Murphy's "Gerritser
Bay"
There are several technically ex-
quisite etchings and drypoints:
Lawrence Kupferman's Gothic
Cottage" with its almost geometric
balance; Alfredo Ximenez's Water

clowns making up for their act, by
Richard Hood. This aforementioned

and mouths.

the sea, the building of ships and
their design, also their representa-
ton through the medium of etching.
Many of his etchings are of we'll
known vessels, sucn as the Joseph
Conrad, the City of Flint, the John
Brereton and the American Banker.
What could be more interesting

well he has rendered his subjects!

in the battle of the Atlantic"
The monthly exhibitions of prints
held in the National Museum under
the AUSPICES of the Division of
Graphic Arts, of which Ruel P.

feature of the Washington art
calendar because of their diversity
and merit. Through them, many

Prints, Drawings by Pieosso
Are Shown at Phillips

The printrooms in the Phillips
Gallery are showing until June l
a collection of 36 etchings, litho-
graphs and drawings by Picasso,
an exhibition of whose abstract
paintings was held here earlier in
the season. To those who. know
only the painted canvases by this
arch modernist, the current showing
will prove surprising, for, with but
few exceptions, all the exhibits set
forth are essentially realistic, aca-
demic What is more, in many in
stances these drawings and prints
are breath-taki in their skill and
brillancy. Rarely has any one ham
died line more amazingly than he
and not merely amazingly, but sig
nificantly, beautifully. We think
of Picasso as a painter of things
grotesque-three views of a head
seen simultaneously: objects, mis-
shapen and strangely assembled in
a confused mass, implicit with
meaning so abstract as to be in
comprehensive to the majority,
confounding the public with enigma,
yet acclaimed great among the
modernists. We know, of course,
that he was accidentally trained
and that he produced and still can
produce pictures of realistic char
acter, strongly and finely rendered;
but, even SO, few are prepared to
find in any of his works the light
ness of touch, the absolute right
ness, the esthetic emotional quality
which many of his prints and draw
ings display.
Many of these prints and drawings
are of the nude and are set forth
with classical perfection, an ad-
miration and respect for the body,
such as found expression in no
other time. Remarkable, too, is the
feeling with which he portrays,
with needle or crayon or pencil,
portraits of young children and
women, using a strangely scratchy
technique, but producing a likeness
which is fully imbued with life
and character.
His use of single line is little
short of marvellous, SO certain is it
and, at the same time, so sensitive,
so flexible. The great Chinese
masters were no greater craftsmen
than he.
The etchings range in date from
1905 to 1927; the Autographs are
mostly of the early 20s while one of
the drawings is dated 1882. The
versatility of the man is extra
ordinary. without submission to
law, but rather following his own
dictates. hs seems Invariably to
