Drawings and water colors oi
naval defense activity by Vernon
Howe Bailey, made under the au-
thorization Of the Navy Depart
ment, are now on view as spe-
cial exhibition in the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art, where they may be
seen until February 10. These in
clude battleships. aircraft carriers
submarines. cruisers and a few Brit
ish men of war-65 in all-done
practically within the last six
months under Government COM
mission.
Vernon Howe Bailey is one of the
best-known illustrators in this coun-
try with a very distinguished career
In 1917. upon this country's entrance
into the World War, he was the
first artist authorized by the Gov
ernment to picture Americas wal
work in navy yards, gunshops
munitions plants and with the fleet
The collection of the drawings ther
made was exhibited in art museums
throughout the country and later
acquired by the Smithsonian 1nsti-
tuition. A set of these prints was
installed also in the French Wal
Museum III Paris. He Is represented
in the Hispanic Museum in New
York by a collection of drawings
made in Spain in 1921 and 1925.
An exhibition of his "Skyscrap-
ers Of New York" was exhibited
not only in this country, but in
London and Madrid. In the latter
city the exhibition was opened Of
ficially by King Alfonso XIII. He
has also the distinction Of having
been permitted to make a series
OF drawings and water colors OF
the Vatican Palace, including the
private apartments of the Pope.
He has served as staff artist on
the Philadelphia Times, the Boston
Herald, the New York Herald, the
Times. the Journal and the Sun.
and has worked for Harpers Maya
zine, Scribners, Century and many
.others.
Obviously Mr.. Bailey is first and
last an illustrator-and one OF the
best. His war-work drawings wit
ness to facts-and very big facts
at that. They tell what this coun-
try has been doing in the last year
to prepare us for war and safe
guard our Nation-a record which
,arouses pride and tends to increased
confidence.
At times in these illustrative
drawings and paintings-a few be-
ing in wash-he rises to a very
distinct height purely from the
standpoint of art-as, for example
In his striking rendition of ~. S. 8
Aircraft Carrier Hornet" as seen in
the Norfolk Navy Yard, tied up al
the wharf and looming large against
the sky. 1t is in instances such as
this that art while subservient to
illustration plays a very large part
in conveying the desired message.
At the last moment two additional
works were placed in this notable
exhibition, both of H. M. S. Duke
of York, a magnificent battleship
ON board of which Churchill and
his associates were brought to this
country for conference. These
drawings. beautifully made, also
had dignity and distinction.
Vernon Howe Bailey comes OF
New England stock, his ancestors
having settled in Massachusetts, as
early as 1910. He studied art first
in Philadelphia, at the academy

New York, January q. Out
around the country Bob Pastor is
rated by boxing men as being one
of the best heavyWeights in tn
world. Some think that, next to
Joe Louis, he Is the best.
But the boxing people in New
York have never gone overheard on
Pastor. They have never regarded
him as anything better than fair
to-middling heavyweight who hap
pened to have the good fortune to
be managed by the willy James j.
Johnston.
1t is true that Pastor has not
always appeared at his best in New
York rings. Many times in the past
he has toured the country defeat
ing the best opposition that could
be sent against him, only to return
to New York where he turned in

Some years ago Johnston mailed
out a circular on Pastor which be-
gan: Born in New York, reared

added: And flop in New York;"

Well, to day Bob Pastor is
determined to put an end to that
kind of thinking. He's out to CON-

the Brazilian aquabelle whose ver-

fluttering to six world records in a

Senorita Lenk defies all stereo-

some as the most striking reason
for a Good Neighbor policy. She
admits with delightful candor that

Nor is she an athletic glamor girl

she is lost in the oo-la- la league.
But Senorita Lenk is champion
and in her own ingenious way,
she has the pride and the strut
that all true champions have. Her

Lead Underdogs to
Win

Too many the Y Staff veteran
basketball team pulled surprise
last night as they raced their friend
ly opponents the Kenosha Club rag
ged to win by a wide marginal score
of 30-16.
From the opening minutes of play
the Staff combine managed to stay
out in front every period. Bob Par
melee tailed the first score by sink
ing free throw shot followed up by
layup shot by Walt Mains to put
the Staffer's out front by a slim
margin. Both teams played defen-
sively the first quarter as the score
was 80 in the first period. From
the second period on both teams
started to whip the ball around more
and got into scoring position. At the
end of the half way mark score was
ga in favor of the Y Staff.
1t was in the third period that
the Staff team found the hoop and
started to run up the score. Aub
GreenlaWn who hasn't played bas-
ketball in years played the game of
his life and showed up the young
sters with plenty in reserve. The
high scorer for the .Kenosha team
was Bob Morrison while Joe Rim
any OF the Staff team found the
hoop six times to score IL points for
his team. Walt Mains was next high
scorer with points and Bob Par
malice right behind with Z points.
MatheWson's passing and ball han
ding put the ball in scoring posi-
ton many times.
With the Staff team winning sew
eral more challenges were issued by
the different team in the Central Y.
M. G. A. to play. After a brief rest
period for two weeks the challenges
one by one may be accepted by the
