from the hill. Several of them
leaped from the backs of their
horses and tried to reach me on
foot. But I was through the bog
first, and fired with gun and pistols
at the foremost Indians who were
struggling in the swamp.
Riding up the opposite hill, I at
length made out the location of our
camp. They chased me to within
gunshot OF the camp, but then rode
away"
The other members of the party
were startled by Wistar's arrival in
this fashion. Soon, they packed up,
hltched their mules and oxen to the
wagons, and went on with the west
ward journey.
The party made it's way through
the present State of Wyoming, and
later followed the valley of the Colo
RADIO River. The wagons were driven
through canyons and mountain
passes. Wistar and several of the
others spent one day camping on
the shore Of Great Salt Lake.
In August the men reached the
huge stretch of barren land then
known as "the Great Desert" Across
this land they made their way, and
at last reached the gold fields Of
California.
Although members of the party
found some gold, Wistar himself
failed to strike it rich" Yet he
spent eight years in the West, chief
ly in California.

We happened to glance at a sign

curious to see what was beyond.
Soon We came to the entrance of

to see many poles on each side of
the dirt road inside the reserva-

Then, to our amazement, we saw
many houses. You see, after the

The Arts Club has departed from
its usual practice by giving all of
its exhibition space at present to
the work of one artist, Gail Trow-
bridge. Her water-color paintings
occupy the gallery, reception and
dining room walls through Febru-
airy IT. 1t is her first exhibition in
Washington.
Miss Trowbridge, native of I'LL
nois, now lives in East Orange, N.
j., where she is art supervisor of
the schools of that city and its
environs. She studied under Prof
Martin of Columbia University and
also at Woodstock, N. Y. She has
exhibited extensively and is a
member Of many professional art
lists organizations, among them the
National Association of Women
Artists and the Provincetown Art
Association.
Her present show comprises %
paintings and 4 Autographs of
Provincetown subjects, landscapes
and industrial scenes. The water
colors are fairly large and are
broadly handled, drastically simph-
fed and executed in strong, deep
toned colors (mostly dark blue,

Paeanini Portraits

The Nicolo Paganini exhibition
now at the Library Of Congress is
a good demonstration of the i'm
portant part the spatial arts have
had in immortalizing exponents Of
the arts that extend in time. Ac-
tors and musicians are the most
personally glamorous of artists
generally speaking) and many OF
us deplore the emphemeral charac-
ter of their arts even today, when
the sound film can preserve 50
much, Of them.
The Paganini collection, compris-
ing portraits, musical manuscripts
and personal documents. was ac-
quired for the Library Of Congress
by Mrs. Gertrude Clarke Whittall.
The pictorial material undoubtedly
Is Of most interest to the average
person. Nearly 100 contemporary
portraits and caricatures are on
view, many Of them original draw
ings and water colors by famous
artists which have never been pub
nshed. including works by Tony

white woman. and that the princess
OF the tribe was named "Pocahon-

Chief Bradley told us. too. that
each home has its quota of ground
around it, and that the men of the
tribe fish, hunt and trap as they
did in the old days.
| The Indians have a funny way of
voting for chief. Each man gathers
corn for his family, and they all
decide whom they want for chief.
! Each family puts its corn in the hat
OF the candidate of its choice. Then
the corn is counted, and the candi-
date having the most corn, in his
hat is elected.

Isaac Wistar headed West in
1849, on the way to California to
look for gold, and for that reason
he ranks among the Forty-niners.
Some of the Forty miners took
their families with them, but many
of the parties were made up only Of
men. Wistar, %, was a member of
a party of men. ..,
One day, while his party was tax
ing rest, Wistar rode off alone. He
wanted to be the first in the group
to shoot buffalo.
When he was several miles from
his friends, he saw a cloud of dust
some distance away. Thinking the
dust probably had been raised by
buffaloes, he rode toward it. Soon.
however, he reined in his steed, after
seeing amidst the dust a band of In
dians instead of buffaloes!
Not knowing whether the Indians
were peaceful or warlike, Wistar
turned back toward camp Here, in
shortened form, is the rest of his
story, as he wrote it in his diary:
ut was not second too soon. In
the very act of turning, saw two
small parties in my rear, galloping
to cut of my retreat. A savage yell
burst from all three gangs.
Il was badly ratified for moment,
but saw one chance Of escape. I
rushed between two of the parties,
within 100 yards on either hand. The
yelling warriors laid on with whip
and heel, and started shooting ar
rows.
"The arrows missed me, and now
set out on race with the best Of
the Indian riders. I reckoned I had
covered half the distance back to
camp when I started down a long
slope. Reaching the foot Of the h6ll,
my horse sprang forward on what
seemed firm ground, but plunged to
the shoulders in q morass which had
been hidden by long grass. A new
yell burst from the Indians who
were In pursuit.

and lifted, and was making good
progress when they began to flrs

ders, with the introduction, for
effect, of fruits, animals and fish.
Obviously they are purposed as
decorations, giving color as well as
warmth to stone walls, and, of ne
ceSsity, rather chilly apartments,
such as audience or dining halls.
At the time these were woven, the
great wave of art, which had risen
in Italy during the Renaissance and
crested in Belgium and the Low
Countries thereafter, was gradually
losing its strength-a strength never
as yet fully recovered even in the
happiest days Of France. This does
not mean that they are inferior
but rather symptomatic. On the
monumental staircase of the Cor
coran Gallery, with its paneled
walls, they assume great dignity
and lend colorful charm. They are
indeed assets of exceptional value
Flemish Painting
In the National Gallery
The National Gallery of Art pos
sesses only a handful of paintings
by Flemish artists of the great Pc
riod in which the art of the Middle
Ages flowered most profusely, but
each of these is masterpiece. They
hang in gallery toward the west
end of the south range in which
they can be we'll seen. Here is the
exquisite "Annunciation," by Jan
Van Eyck, who, with his brother
Hubert, is accredited the invention
OF oil paint as a medium and to
have proved its value as a medium
through use. In this little picture.
from the Mellon collection, one sees
so much that is indicative of the
Flemish art of Van Eyck's era,
architectural beauty, beauty of de-
sign, beauty in textiles and their
weaving, beauty of color and above
all of spiritual significance. No one
could fail to recognize and be
moved by these great virtues and
in such combination.
Painted about the same time -
that is, in the 18th century-is
Portrait of a Lady" by Roger van
der Weyden, rendered with full
command of medium and with re-
markable interpretive power. While
not beautiful, this lady is a very real
person-so real that she lives again
and perpetually-a gentlewoman of
character and kindliness.
Quite different, but no less notable,
is Gerard David's Rest in Flight
Into Egypt'-a picture once seen,
ever to be remembered. Religious
in spirit and reverently set forth, it
shows a naturalistic inclination
finding its way into the art of paint

and cape is very young and shy,

he took it to class. He and the other
students put . new top on it, gave
1t a new paint job, and are now
overhauling the motor. The other
boys also bring their cars to work
on as class assignments-that is,
those who are lucky enough to have
cars. However, all Is members Of
this particular. class seemed to have
enough to keep them busy.
Before the boys work on the cars,
however, they receive basic tech
nical instruction from D. c. Jack
son, who organized the first class in
auto mechanics in the United States.
Through blackboard lectures, sup
plemented with practical demon
stration on stripped chassis. the
students learn the ABCs of their
work.
Any heavy work, such as realign-
ing an auto frame or reshaping a
badly smashed-up body is sent to a
garage, as the schools small shop
has only limited equipment and
working space. The boys have a
difficult enough time finding even
small auto parts. which they get
from auto supply stores or junk
dealers. .Oftensa car has to stand in
the shop couple of months until a
part can be found. In spite of hav-
ing to pay their own expenses, the
boys are convinced they save money
and time by doing their own labor.
Some of them look on their work
as hobby, others as serious prepa-
ration for future work. John Bax-
ter, IT, for instance. wants to be a
naval aviation mechanic, while
Johnny Payne prefers music as a
career According to Mr.. Jackson,
many former students have distin-
guished themselves as Army and
Navy flyers, fight engineers and

Gail Trowbridge Debut at Arts Club;
Paeanini Exhibition at Library

Johannot, Grandville, Vernet and
Lyser. Ingres and Gavarni are two
of the best-known artists repre-
sented. Contemporary Autographs,
engravings and other prints from
Italy, France, Austria, Germany
and England bear witness to the
fabulous popularity of Paganini.
Gan outstanding oil portrait of him
by Delacroix belongs to the Phillips
Memorial Gallery)
Probably very few of us can
identify Paganini without prepara-
ton, although this violinist-com
poser is said to have been "the
most extraordinary executant" in
the history of the violin. But after
few minutes of studying the por-
traits and caricatures of him at the
library we realize something Of the
mans genius, and more perhaps of
his personal glamour. Naturally
there are subtle differences in the
portraits. Yet nearly all of them
convey the mans flaming spirit,
which illuminates his haggard but
fascinating face. His long, dark
hair and emaciated figure fit the
popular conception of a genius and
many of the portraits depict him
in what must have been a charac-
teristic pose, violin under his chin
body in a taut S-curve, right foot
forward.
Born in 1882, Paganini began his
triumphant career at the age of 8
but he was at the height of his
popularity from 1928 to his death
In 1910. Hence he swept Europe
when the romantic period was in
flower. A black and white wash
drawing Of his last hours is exces-
sively romantic. He is depicted Ian
gushing in a comfortable beruffied
bed, holding his violin and bow and
gazing out the window at q lush
moonlit landscape.
After half an hours study of these
pictures one begins to hear the
ghostly strains of q violin, the faint
patter of applause. One realizes
that Paganini was as great q
genius In his chosen medium as
were the Italian Renaissance paint
ers, for instance, in theirs, yet their
art stiIl lives, while his is gone save
as 1t Is recaptured for Us In con-
temporary paintings and drawings
This exhibition, in the north hall
on the second floor OF the Library
Of Congress, will remain on View
