Southeast Businessmen
Hit BIackout Bill Powers

The Southeast Businessmen's As
sociation yesterday sent to the chair
men OF the House and Senate Dis
trict Committees a letter opposing
enactment of the pending amend
ment to the local blackout law
which would increase the Commits
sioners' power.
The association objected to pro-
visions of the bill which would en-
power the Commissioners to take
possession Of private property Of
any kind and reimburse the owners
as they saw f1t and which would ab-
solve the District of liability for in
juries suffered by volunteer work.
ers or for damage done by agents
OF the District in emergencies.
Exception also was taken to the
provision of the bill which would
authorize the Commissioners to bor-
row up to $1,600,000 from the Treas
ury to spend as they see fit in con-
nection with afraid precautions.
The association held that the
measure is too dictatorial and
would empower the Commissioners
with authority far beyond that
which Is possessed by any commun-
tty ."
A resolution passed by the asso-
citation indorsing enactment of a
general sales tax was likewise sent
to members OF Congress.

"Chlncoteague Wild Pony Round
Up"
Philosophy Of simple Things"
Her portrayal Of life and customs
In all of her pictures Is characterized
by the pains she has taken not to
sacrifice the innate dignity of the
individual, his occupations or his re-
ligious conceptions to the needs Of
realism but has caught the under
glow Of the spirit which In itself
dignif1es any task. Her philosophy
of art is definite in this respect, for
she believes that the simplest things
are the biggest part of living and to
portray them faithfully with under
standing is to portray the life of
ones time.
Examples Of her art have been ex-
hibited In mny sections of this
country and In Canada, Sweden and
Italy. Two Of her lithograph prints
are in the Metropolitan Museum In
New York and others that were q
part of an italian exhibit are locked
up In Venice, according to reports
from abroad.
Her brother now owns Open House.
Mrs. Rose lives at Pickbourne, across
Salt Water Cove, during part OF the
year. Her avocations are sailing,
farming and grazing. A one-time
cabin whose interior she has white
washed serves as her studio.
Aside from visits here to the home
Of Mrs. Cazenove G.. Lee. a class
mate at Vassar College, she is not
stranger to washington. Her COL
lege preparatory days were spent at
National Cathedral School. Here
she had her first art training under
the direction Of Mrs. Sleath Of the
schools faculty. who was herself a
pupil Of Whistler.
Following college and marriage she
studied at the Art Students League
under William Palmer and Harry
Sternberg. She Is a great believer In
Americans receiving their art educa-
ton in this country. II they wish to
interpret certain phases Of our ma
tional life that are peculiar to us.
