understood, largely responsible for
the organization of the guild. She
is fully in sympathy with so-called
advance movements but at the same
time a law unto herself-a tradi-
tionalist in the best sense of the
word. Her works witness to excep-
tional skill and talent, but also they
have great charm.
OF two paintings by Sarah Baker
much may be said in praise. One is
of a circus rehearsal, loosely painted
but good in action; the other
entitled THE Beach" is purely SYM
bolic and very modernistic, but
clever and effective both in pattern
and color.
Lois M. Jones, one of the compe-
tent instructors in the art depart
ment of Howard University, is rep
resented and we'll, by painting of
a young Negro girl standing before
kitchen cabinet, cleaning fish.
Here, too, is good color and capable
brush work. Both the artist and
the guild are to be congratulated
upon its inclusion in the current
showing.
Engaging Still Lites
William E. Thompson, whose
name is still comparatively new to
exhibition-goers, contributes two
engaging still ifes-"Wax Rose"
and "Ribbons'-both of which are
we'll studied and pleasing-also
atmospheric in effect. This last is
a quality which comparatively few
OF the paintings in this exhibition
possess-and yet it is enveloping at
mosphere which knits a composition
together and gives it unity. Through
atmosphere dull, and even homely.
composition may acquire merit and
appeal. Partly through the presence
of atmosphere in her paintings,
such as the big Barn On Hill" in
the guild exhibition, Marjorie
Phillips attains an unmistakable
distinction.
Richard Lahey, principal of the
Corcoran School of Art, exhibits
two paintings of towns-"Quiet
Village" built on hillside, an at
tractive arrangement in line and
color, and "Harpers Ferry" seen
from across the railroad tracks and
hence less alluring. Eugen Weisz,
vice principal, is represented by a
single canvass portrait of Mr..
Thomas Schultz, said to be an ex-
cellent likeness and undoubtedly
rendered with utmost care.
R0manficisfs
Walter T. Carnelli shows a small
self-portrait and also a picture of
Park" grass and trees in mid
summer green, the latter somewhat
reminiscent in style-as, inciden-
tally, is In the Valley" landscape
by Shef11eld Kagy-of the works of
the romanticists, now after a lapse
OF years, returning to favor. Mr..
Kagy has enlivened his landscape
by introducing a risky horse and a
colt at play in the foreground.
One Of the places of honor in
this exhibition has been given to a
painting by William H. Calfee, presi-
dent of the guild, of a lady in
yellow dress reclining on a red sofa,
a colorful spot among works inclined
to be drab. Mr.. Calfee, who is both
painter and sculptor, conservative
and modernist, at pleasure, shows
besides his figure, a symbolic design
in strong color which to the un-
iniated is as perplexing as the most
astute crossword puzzle

Juvenile Delinquency
By A. Katharine Davis,
Readers Adviser in Sociology, Public Library

book which the library is purchas-
ing, promises to be of value to recre-
alton administrators and commu-
nifty planners. The authors, Ethel
Shanas and Catherine E. Dunning,
conclude from their Chicago inves-
tigation that participation in su-
pervised recreation reduces juvenile
delinquency"
The United States Children's Blu
reau has recently issued two impor-
tant pamphlets CNos. 300 and 3O1)
entitled Understanding Juvenile
Delinquency" and Controlling Ju-
venile Delinquency" The former
publication describes the causes of
delinquency, its prevention and
treatment, while the latter outlines
goals for community action and spe-
cific programs which communities
may undertake.
The library has compiled a bibli-
ography on juvenile delinquency
which lists many other books and
articles in addition to those referred
to here. For even later material
published since the photography was
compiled, consult your librarian.

f1rst class, two paintings reveal his
versatility. His oil portrait of Gath
crime" depicts a meditative Young
woman OF warm coloring, leaning
upon a table covered with a red
cloth, against a cool background in
which ruined arcade gives a sur
realistic flavor. His other painting
is high-keyed water color "Old
Wharf" done with a delicate tinpe
Of Cubism.
Sergt. Oke Nordgren has two land
scapes, one of them called Section
Hands" Both show lonely stretches
OF beautiful country and have a.
feeling of peace and quietude. Pvt.
Gustav Trois' Summer Landscape"
depicts a humble house in the
woods and is painted predominantly
in fresh light green.
Pvt. Jack Berkman's two oils are
the most modern paintings in the
exhibition. One is a portrait of his
wife, the other an arresting study of
musicians called "Marijuana," re-
ferring presumably to the drug some
swing players are said to smoke in
order to obtain mad tempos gener-
ally beyond the reach of a normal
performer. At any rate, Pvt. Berk-
man has captured the sultry, fren-
zied essence of such music in his
distorted little group crowded around
their instruments. It is very effec-
tive.
A one-man show by Pietro Lazzari
occupies the Arts Clubs reception
and dining rooms. Several flower
paintings in tempera were shown
in his solo exhibition at the Whyte
Gallery in November. The majority
OF works in the present display are
large outline pen drawings, some of
them done as recently as New Year
Day.

Not everyone can participate &C
lively in the more dramatic jobs of
juvenile delinquency prevention,
such as those of probation officer
in the court, counselor in a school,
group worker in a settlement house
or church, or psychiatrist in a child
guidance clinic. But every one can
be informed about the causes and
extent of delinquency, and can be
ready to cooperate with the agen-
cies which are organized to deal with
the problem. The Public Library,
Eighth and K streets NV, and its
branches lend books, pamphlets and
articles on this subject.
Among the older but still valuable
books on delinquency are Reckless

new books on the subject are Thurs

Circuit of Conquest
BIZ Rel1ndn NORM. {.

By Relmdn NORM. (Knopt)
The author of this book, one of
the Associated Press ablest CORE
spondents, had been In Japan more
than three years when, in 1910, he
decided that the japanese were
looking for more trouble than they
had found in China. To find out
where they would strike that trouble
and on what scale, he visited Shang-
hal, Manila, the Dutch East Indies,
Malaga, Burma, Thailand and Indo-
China. In Saigon, he found some
trouble of his own-the Japs ar
rested him as spy. He was in grave
danger for a while, but was finally
exchanged with other American
prisoners of the Japs.
Now Relman NORM tells what he
learned along the Japanese circuit
of conquest, and 1t all adds up to a
story that is as exciting as it is
informative. HI.

By Florence S. Bergman.

Ten Washington artists now in
the armed service are holding an
exhibition in the gallery of the Arts
Club during January. The majority
Of the Is works shown are not, how
ever, of war scenes but of those wit

head of the Nays Camoufiage Sec

are serving Everett Warner, Eliot
O'Hara and others equally well
known.
Comdr. Bittinger is represented by
a large painting, done some years
ago, of the Library of the Univer-
sity Club, New York; detailed

so realistic that the observer may
feel he is actually standing in the

The Artists Guild of Washington
Is holding its second annual exhibit.
ton in the Corcoran Gallery of Art
opening last Sunday, January 2 anc
continuing through the 9th.
Oil paintings are in preponderance
but water colors, drawings, prints
and works in sculpture are also in
Guided. There are something over
so exhibits in all, filling the large
gallery set aside for transient ex-
hibitions and overfowing into cases
IN the upper atrium.
The guild, formed little over two
years ago, has today At members
among whom considerable number
are serving the Government in its
mighty war effort through their
talent or directly in the armed
forces. For the most part the guild
artists are of the new school-indi-
vidualists, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Ing in their works the Importance of
personal expression, discarding much
that tradition has upheld and thus
adding to the chaos prevailing in the
field of art today. 1t is interesting
to note. however, in this conL ection
that when these artists are called
upon to record things factual, such
rs war activities, they evidence their
ability, as craftsmen and painters,
to witness to the truth, forgetting
themselves in the cause they serve.
The majority of the works in this

the war, which is well, as art has the
power of consolation and encourage
ment as well as patriotic attack; but
neither do they concern themselves
with beauty. It is well enough to
say that beauty may be found In
ugliness, but if so the artist must
manifest it as his discovery before
the world. 1t is not enough for the
artist to please himself. If the Ian
guage he employees is unintelligible
his effort is wasted. Also the naivete
of childish performance ceases to
attract when assumed by elders be
cause 1t does not ring true.
The Art of Today
The guild exhibition is significant
and interesting as symptomatic OF
much of the art of today. Aside
from choice of subject matter, the
chief shortcoming seems to be lack
OF craftsmanship. 1t is as though
time was too short to render a
theme with that loving care which
the patient and gifted artists of the
past gave to it. Gertrude Stein, one
OF the leading opponents of the mod
ern school, has said with character
istic repetition, that the Joy in an
oil painting is paint on canvas" but
even so she admits that this is de-
pendent upon the way it is put on
Certainly there is nothing more un-
pleasant than an effect of paintiness
in any picture. The great masters
invariably strove through art to con-
ceal all effort.
There Is one painting in this ex-
hibition which seems to possess the
virtues handed down by tradition
and at the same time combine them
with those of the present-simplicit
and freshness. This is a painting OF
white and yellow chrysanthemums
In glass vase by Nan Watson, the
wife of Forbes Watson, editor and
author, co-worker in the Govern
ment art project with the late Ed
ward Bruce.
Mrs. Watson has won an enviable
reputation as painter of flowers
and other still life. An exhibition
of her work, held at the Arts Club
some time ago, is still memorable

ever present, particularly among the
Jews. prosecuted by the Cossack
hordes, their own neighbors, and
finally the Germans.
AS for the love stories, an Austrian
count marries a young music hall
singer robbed of her family by the
Cossacks. Their child, Elisabeth, is
born few months after her fathers
death in the First World War. The
reconstruction of Poland is the back
ground of the child's growth into
womanhood Then there is the
Reichstag fire, the first rumblings
from Germany, the effort of the
aged marshal to avert war through
pact with Hitler-and then the
hordes sweeping again over tortured
Poland.
Elisabeth. meanwhile, has met an
