At no time did they forget that
| it was work which had sent them
on their journey, nor did they over
look the fact that it was work which
brought them the beautiful vistas
which they enjoyed so keenly, and
at the same time made them KEEP
their eyes open and their wits about
them" 1t was this work, begun ir
1886, in the heyday of youth. which
enabled them to accumulate funds
sufficient to endow under the Ii
brary of Congress, great and be-
nefcent enterprise, to advance
others along the very path they
had trod.
This work that the Pencils sc
loved kept them abroad for many
years. In fact, it was not until
World War I that they returned
here to stay. Meanwhile they had
formed great friendship for
Whistler and became hisRuthorized
graphers-hence the Library's
collection of Whistleriana. Also Mr.
Pennell had been requested to
picture the war in France, going
there for that purpose. but the
admixture of Quaker and artist
made it, to him, SO unbearably
horrible that he gave up the COM
mission and returned to Phila-
delphia. Then it was that he made
his now famous series Of War Work
Autographs.
These brought him to Washing
ton and in contact with the Library
of Congress. He was a bitter an
tagonist of the billboards for ad-
vertising-he was not always soft
spoken-but, as Mrs. Pennell when
a bride had found him, he was

Art Books and Prints
At Whvfe Gallery

The Museum of Modern Art, New
York City, currently celebrating its
18th anniversary, is receiving simul-
taneous recognition in Washington
The Whyte Gallery is showing an
exhibition of the museums publica
tions and prints from 1929 to 1914
which will remain to the end of this
month. The show occupies very lit
tie space, but it contains fully 7C
books and 18 or 20 color reproduc-
tions.
Nearly all of the books have beer
issued as catalogues of exhibitions
at the Museum Of Modern Art, but
because of their comprehensiveness
scholarly treatment and lavish illus
trations, they have the permanent
interest of monographs on the yari-
GUS subjects. Their scope is fal
greater than the usual exhibition
catalogue.
A brief glance at the titles gives
an idea of the museums extensive
interests: Painting and sculpture
prints, architecture, book binding
posters, prehistoric rock pictures
machine art, organic design, theatel
art, photography and moving pic
lures. The museums chief concern
is contemporary art and its immedi-
ate antecedents; nevertheless, it en-
abled New York to see the magnlti-
cent exhibition of Italian Renais-
sance masterpieces from the 1895
San Francisco exhibition, by showing
them at considerable expense, fol
II days.
The Museum of Modern Art has
been sharply criticized since its foun.
dation for its radical tastes in art
its experiments and explorations
Yet no fair-minded critic can deny
that it has been a strong force in the
development and appreciation o1
contemporary art movements. AL.
though it seems paradoxical to refer
to this large, powerful, wealthy in.
stitution as a pioneer, it is one il
many respects. And even the most
conservative among us will applaud
the courage of organizations as wei
as individuals, which blaze new trail.
instead of always waiting cautiously
to follow well-beaten paths broker
by others.

I Bv BUS HAM

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-LR)-
President Roosevelt had the ball
on the vineyard line tonight with
the last down yet to be played over
switching the Army-Navy football
game to a big city.
The treasury hoped that Mr..
Roosevelt was about to pick up the
ball and run it toward Baltimore
or Philadelphia and score whop-
ping financial touchdown in the
sixth War Loan drive.
The proposal is that the service
classic, December 2, be moved
from Annapolis stadium, seating
about 10000, to a city where up
wards of 10000 can see it, as war
bond show.
Secretary Morgenthau said at
news conference that he hopes the
game is moved.
This was the first public state
ment by a high ranking official in
favor of change other than Pres
ident Roosevelt's disclosure Tues
day that he planned to discuss
such a move with Secretary Of
War Stimson.
The treasury feels that Secre-
tary of Navy Forrestal no longer
objects to a switch in sites, and
that Stimson will not make it diff
ficult for Mr.. Roosevelt to reach
a favorable decision.
This would leave only the office
of defense transportation on rec
ord as opposing a change. Cities
under consideration for the game
saw the stadium would be filled by
fans from the immediate areas.
Morgenthau estimated that $780,
200, 900 in bonds can be sold in con-

nection with the game, if it is
played in a big stadium, and he
has no preference as to what city
gets the game.
81 don't know which has the big
gest stadium" he said.
Philadelphia can accommodate
more than 100000 and Baltimore
more than $4,000 spectators.
Morgenthau also said that May.
or Laguardia has extended a warm
invitation to play the game in
New York, presumably at the Polo
grounds or Yankee stadium.
At the treasury it was said that
bond-selling plans in connection
with the game, if moved, have
been outlined, and that the ma
chinery could be put into action
quickly.
The treasury thinks that the
amount of bonds disposed of at the
immediate game sale would be
only small part of the overall
publicity value Of the game in a
big city.
The country has "simply gone

Heavy Rain Marks Yale
Scrimmage Day Session

NEW HAVEN Conn.,, Nov. Is
R)-Today was scrimmage day
for the Yale football team which
is indicated and hopes to stay
that way when North Carolina
comes here Saturday, but the
plans were upset by heavy rain
which turned to snow late in the
afternoon.
So instead Of scrimmaging, the
Bulldogs went into the dirt-floored
Yale armory where for 80 minutes
the linemen practiced charging
and other contact work and the
backs brushed up on plays with
a brisk signal drill.
There was a passing workout,
too, in which Jake Hall, slated
to start at quarterback, tried
throwing forwards from five yards
behind the scrimmage line. The
North Carolina game will be the
first for Yale in which the new
rules, allowing passing anywhere
behind the line, will not be in ef-
feet.
