We had so much fun at camp. The
first thing We did when we got there
in the morning was to join hands
and make a circle and put up the
flag, and the last thing we did in the
afternoon was to take the flag down.
We learned many new songs, and
I'm so glad because, since camp is
over, feel very, very sad, and then
1 sing some Of my camp songs at
home.
The very, very best of all I liked
about camp was going on hikes.
There are so many wonderful things
to see, like mushrooms and toad
stools and odd kinds of leaves.
love to follow the paths and see
where they lead to. Sometimes
when we have real long hikes. we
rest on some rocks or under shady
trees.
Likes Cool Shower.
When we go swimming. we go to
Takoma Park. Patsy and I know
how to swim, so we 60 in the big
pool. When I get out of the pool,
like running through the long cool
shower.
One week we went to the Zoo to
get feathers for our Indian cos
tunes and Patsy found a peacock
feather. I got a lot of short feath-
ers and gave some to my little
brother Michael, who is 2h years
old
During the last week we had the
most fun of all. It was called
pioneer week" We got to sleep
outdoors overnight. We went to
the Phoebe Hearst School and guess
what-that is the school we 60 to
all year long!
We put newspapers on the ground
and covered them with our rain
coats and the councillor showed us
how to make a bed out of three
blankets. We cooked our three
meals all by ourselves.
Ring Around Moon.
For dinner we had spaghetti and
meatballs and coleslaw. For break
fast we cooked pancakes, bacon and
a little paper cup of grapefruit
juice. We made ourselves bread
and jelly. The cocoa was already
made. For lunch we had a vege-
table salad that we helped make
and some of the spaghetti and meat
balls that we're left. For dessert
We had a piece Of cake and two
peaches but / had three.
Just before We went to bed one
of the councillors said there was
a ring around the moon. We looked
up and, sure enough, we saw a ring
around the moon. The councillors
said the stars were making a dipper
We looked up and saw the stars
but could not see any dipper.
The last day of camp, Friday
we went fishing. I tried to catch a
fish but couldn't. Just as we were
supposed to leave I saw fish try
ing to bite my worm. 1 pulled in
my line, as I thought the fish was
on the hook, but he ate my bait and
swan away. You see, I didn't catch
him.
I can hardly wait till next sum-
mer for Rock Creek Camp to open
again. Thank you very much for
such good time.

have had very wonderful time
this past summer. I have been
making raffia baskets and a reed
mat for mother to put her coffee
pot on. I did finger painting and
I made an Indian costume to dance
around the campfire in.
1t was very interesting when Mr.
McHenry came and told us about
the rocks, and about a mountain
that was IS Washington Monu-
ments high. Mr.. McHenry took us
down to a place where there was
just stones, stones, stones. He told
us each to find stone that was
shaped like different things, and he
told us about the stones that had
diamonds in them which had lived
for hundreds and hundreds of years.
He also told us about the water
that had whole lot>of stones in it.
and the water rubbed the stones to-
gether and kept knocking the sharp
points OF. They rolled and rolled
in the water until they got real
round. Whenever you see a round
stone that means that water used
to be right where you found that
round stone.
Insects Have Six Legs.
Another day Mr.. McHenry came
again and told us about trees. He
told us a little story about two rain
drops. I don't remember it very
well but 1t taught us not to pick
leaves from trees. When you pick
leaf it Is just like some one steal
ing your kitchen and stove and bed
room.
One of Mr.. McHenry's assistants
came. He told us about insects. He
said every insect has six legs. He
had some insects framed. He also
had some great big moths that
looked like butterflies that were very
beautiful He also had butterflies
but they looked like moths. He told
us to tell our mothers that when we
find worms in corn not to call them
worms, but caterpillars, because in a
little while they will turn into beau
tiful butterflies.
Clay Modelling.
Alice, the science teacher, had a
whole lot Of bird nests, slugs, a rat
tlesnake's head and tail, a shark S
egg and little rock garden with a
big yellow puffball, and whenever
you touched it smoke came out. She
had some poison ivy and poison oak
framed, so we would learn what it
looked like.
One day the assistant camp di-
rector, Helen, and some boys and
Penny and I went for little hike,
and we came to place where there
was lot of clay. We dug up the
clay and broke off the dirt. We put
it In pail and took it back to camp.
Then we put some water in it and
right away went to work and mod
eled some Indian bowls. We painted
them and they looked very pretty,
and we put them in the exhibit to
show the parents when they visited
camp.
Thank you very much for such a
happy summer.

Three themes dominate the spe-
eial exhibition of etchings and dry
points by Kenneth Hayes Miller
which opened last Tuesday at the
Corcoran Gallery of Art. to remain
through Sunday, October Is. These
themes are woman and child, the
sculpturesque nude, and the shop
per; they have been the artists
favorites at least for the past quar-
ter century.
Mr.. Miller's primary subject is
form, with weight and solidity, and
its relation to space land, of course
relation Of one form to another, in
a composition) He is concerned
with these problems in his etchings
as well as in his paintings. His
work is carefully organized, nothing
appears to be spontaneous or i'm
provised.
Fully half of the present show OF
about 40 prints. deal with nude fig
ures, young and old, in many posi-
tions, outdoors and in. The specta-
tor can study Mr.. Miller's handling
OF form and design in these; they
also have most of the beauty one
will find in this show. Interior

a standing draped figure: the happy
relationship of lines and masses
should be apparent to every one
THE Little Dancer" "Couplet,
Psyche" small velvety drypoint
of girl in a mountainous land
scape. and AT the Window" are
prints with considerable charm.
An arresting feature of Mr.. Mil
ler's nude figures is the fact that
many of them recall Rubens' exu-
berant women from the neck down
but have faces either expressionless
or somber or Withdrawn.
The T,Oenties and Thirties.
Many of these prints were made
In the 20s and 30s or earlier. But
only the shoppers" are dated by
their bell-shaped hats, fitting down
to the eyebrows and nape of the
neck, and their hideous dresses with
waistlines around the hips. Many
of us remember these ungainly styles
and wonder how we could ever have
considered ourselves presentable in
them.
During the 20s, Mr.. Miller began
TO paint and etch housewives and
shop girls in department stores
around Fourteenth street, New York
City, in the vicinity of his home and
studio. He was most interested in
the problem of organizing several
figures around a counter, or emerg-
Ing from a doorway, or standing by
shop window or something similar
and he utilized the ugly hats, coats,
dresses, handbags and other details
as parts of his designs.
He aroused much interest among
critics by dealing with the contem-
porary scene, and he started q num-
ber of young artists who studied
under him, in the same direction.

| But the spectator will probably
notice that although the subjects
are in modern dress and surround
ings, there is little reality in their
Expressions and movements. If the
artist had not worked along tradi-
tional lines, 1t would not be fair for
us to look for naturalness in every
aspect of his pictures. But since
he did take the trouble to transcribe
such details as tassels on purses, one
naturally wonders why he did not
get more urgency into his shoppers.
The heavy, badly dressed types he
has depicted, and the appearance Of
the shops, indicate that these scenes
must have been inspired in bargain
Easements and crowded department
stores. Consequently, one would ex-
pect the women to appear feverish
and hurried, rather than placid.
The Madonna Theme.
The artist has often handled the
mother -and-child theme, but only a
few of the prints In the present ex-
hibition deal with it. Some OF them
also fit into one of the other two
subject categories. There is little
drypoint entitled play" depicting
the back Of a nude woman and two
small children, and an etching
Pause by a window" in which a
frowsy young mother wearing too
tight dress, is looking at hats and
blouses, while her little son waits
alphabetically beside her.
Nurse and Child" Is the most
conventional treatment of the Ma
donna theme in the present show,
but also Ito the writer the most
complete and satisfying, from the
esthetic standpoint. The old wom-
an is stolid but tender; the baby is
winsome; the lighting of the room
impresses one as exactly right, and
the view of buildings through the
open window suggests something be-
yond the immediate group.

been here a while I'll have made
new ones. That's the difference be-
tween the Army and the Navy:
When the Army moves it sends
units; when the Navy moves it sends
individuals.
Nearly all the men at the center
are awaiting assignment to combat
zones, Charlie said He had reported
there the night before and couldn't
even guess when he would be ordered
out.
II may be here a week or two
weeks, or may leave tomorrow, he
explained. You never can tell"
But Charlie wasn't anxious to stay
very long. There is too much ex-
pectancy, too much activity" he OBJ
served. Fellows coming in and 60
ing out, moving, packing and un-
packing"
Charlie painted an interesting pic
ture of life at the center-a picture
of men trying to have as much fun
as possible while anxiously awaiting
the next spin of their wheel of for
tune. Around and around she
goes" as Maj. Bowes says, and where
she stops nobody knows. :"
Down in the recreation room this
afternoon" Charlie recalled, "a
group Of music makers got together
and there was a jam session. One
fellow broke loose with The GI
Jive.' He couldn't sing very we'll
but he did his best. He tried to
act like a professionalism amateur
expert, he was.
After while" Charlie continued,
"the room was alive with move
ment. The music was hot the kind
that makes you want to jump or
bounce. Everything was keeping
time-feet, hands, heads, even the
furniture seemed to move. Every
one was happy. -.
a. When the loudspeaker cut in the
music stopped. Now hear this a
dull, dry voice said. Every one
listened while a list of names
was called. They knew what 1t was
for"
The loudspeaker, Charlie ex-
planned, is the center of attraction.
When 1t speaks every one is quiet.
AS Charlie put It: Half the time
you don't care what 1t says. But
you never can tell when you will
care. So you listen all the time"
And, sooner or later, 1t speaks di-
rectly to you, telling you that your
wheel of fortune has spun and
stopped again. -.
Charlie went into the Navy I'M
mediately after his graduation. He
had represented The j. s. at Central
for more than two years.
