TWIST OF FATE

The first game will start at
1890 to give the Tigers a chance
TO catch a train for Detroit,
where they will meet the Sena-
tors in a playoff of the tie should
ST. Louis sweep the doubleheader.
One victory Sunday will, of course,
give the Tigers their seventh pen
nant. They won back in Ty Cobb
days of 1907, 1908 and 1909 and
again in 1894 and 1885 and 1910.
BY an odd twist of fate the
same three teams that were in the
championship finish last fall are
once again principals this year,
Tigers, Senators. and Browns. And
again the race has gone down to
the last day. By beating the
Tigers, the Senators helped the
Browns win the 1914 pennant.
Now the Browns have a chance
TO repay the Senators, which the
Tigers hope will not happen.
incidentally, should the Tigers
lose the first game Sunday, the
Senators will leave Washington
for Detroit without knowing the
result of the nightcap. If the
Tigers win that, the Senators will
be tagged somewhere along the
line. If not, they will come on TO
Detroit for the death struggle in
MOnday'S playoff.

Girl Recommends
Post Cards as Aid to
Geography Study
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By lane Schisfer, Is,

About three years ago I started
a collection of post cards and I now
have about 600, showing scenes ano
buildings throughout the United
States. I also have quite a few
foreign ones. including some from
Cuba, England, Ireland, North
Africa, Australia, Manila, Bermuda,
Switzerland, Hawaii, the Neither
lands, Germany, Japan, Denmark,
France and Canada.
My foreign collection have in a
special scrapbook. The United
States collection keep in boxes in
dexed by States. I have sort of a
collection within a collection, show
ing the capitals of the States.
Some of the cards have been
mailed directly to me by friends and
acquaintance, and some have been
given to me by friends who knew OF
my hobby. One interesting way in
which I have added to my collec-
ton of foreign cards has been in
writing to the Embassies of those
countries. The Russian Embassy
sent me pamphlets with pictures, as
they didn't have any post cards at
the time. The Swedish Embassy
advised me that they did not have
cards to distribute, but one of the
secretaries personally sent me foul
very beautiful cards.
To see pictures of foreign coun-
tries helps to make geography in
teresting and adds to the interest OF
many things. Some day, I hope tc
travel and actually see some of the
interesting places and things that ]
now enjoy seeing on my cards.

My Puppy's Bath
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
Bv Alice Helene Minovifz, IL

Truesdell School.
I have a little puppy dog,
And I have named him Bob;
And when he has to take a bath,
have an awful job!
He slips and wiggles from my arms
And runs throughout the house;
He upsets all the furniture,
Like a cat after a mouse.
And when I finally catch him,
He yelps and barks at me,
Begging with eyes that look so sac
For me to set him free.
But I put him in the water,
And he gives up all hope;
He knows that I must clean him up
And then I get the soap!
The soap drips down on both his
eyes,
And some gets in his nose,
And then it trickles down his fur.
And circles round his toes.
And when I've scrubbed him good
and hard,
And dried and brushed his hair,
He is the cleanest little dog
That I've seen anywhere!
And after he's all finished,
He runs outside-and then,
When he comes in from play that
day,
He's full of dirt again!

|Margulies Paintings
At PAN American

Sponsored by the Mexican Am
bassador, Joseph Margulies of New
York, is holding an exhibition of
his paintings in oil and water color
in the Pan American Union. The
collection, comprising 48 works,
chiefly made during recent sum-
mers in Mexico, Is OF exceptional
interest, but will only remain on
view until the 26th of this month.
The painter Margulies was born
in Austria in 1896 but brought to
this country when only 3 years old.
When only Is years of age he began
his study Of art in the National
Academy of Design, New York, and
Immediately manifested exceptional
talent. Later he studied at Cooper
Union and the Brooklyn Museum,
the Art Students League and under
the Tiffany Foundation. All along
he won awards, and before many
years his work found admission in
the leading exhibitions. Later he
had a period of study in the Ecole
DIES Beaux Arts, Paris.
In recent years he has exhibited
widely and he has to his credit
long list of portraits Of eminent men
painted for institutions which they
served. But even so he Is perhaps
best known for his etchings, by
which he is represented in some Of
the leading public collections-such
as the Library Of Congress, the Met
ropolitan Museum of Art, the
Smithsonian. His instructor in the
graphic arts was none other than
Joseph Pennell.

Uncle Rays Corner

The ancient Greeks had no air.
planes or balloons, and the only
way they could fly was in fancy
One OF their myths tells about men
flying, and Hermes, Greek god
is said to have had wings on his
hat and on his sandals.
The mythmakers also spoke about
Pegasus, the flying horse. This ami
NAL was supposed to have had two
huge wings which he tapped when
he rose in the air.
Here is the story Of Pegasus as
it might have been told to you if
you had lived in Greece 2,400 years
ago:
when Medusa was slain by Per-
seus, a horse sprang from the mon
ster's blood. He was a noble beast,
as white as snow, and he few over
land and sea until he reached a
point near the city of Corinth.
Alighting on the side of a noun
tain, he looked for water, but could
find none.
'The thirsty animal stamped on
the ground, and water gushed from
the spot. A spring kept running
at the palace, and the horse was
called Pegasus which means He
of the spring.
"Bellerophon, Greek prince, was
the first to see Pegasus, and went
to the mountain to catch him
Pegasus, however, would not allow
himself to be touched.
Hoping to obtain help, the
prince walked to the temple OF
Athena and slept on the altar. The
goddess came to him in q dream
and told him he could tame the
winged steed.
When Bellerophon awoke he
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-04-22

found at his feet a shining golden
bride. He picked it up and went
once more to the mountainside. This
time he had no trouble in getting
near. and in few moments the
golden bride was placed on the
horses head. Mounting the back of
Pegasus the prince rose high in the
air!"
Bellerophon Is supposed to have
met with many adventures, includ-
ing fight with the Chimera, while
he was the owner of Pegasus. One
day, we are told, he paid visit to
the king of Argos. During that
visit the queen became angry with
him and made false statements
about him to her husband. The
king then sent Bellerophon to the
country known as Lycia with q
sealed message, saying that the
young hero should be slain.
The Lycian monarch believed
there was one sure way to end
Bellerophon's life, namely to send
him out to kill a certain monster.
This monster was known as the
Chimera, and had been breathing
fire while roaming around Lycia.
People said that the monster had
a strange makeup. 1t was supposed
to look like lion in the forepart
and to have a goats head in the
middle Of its back. It's tail was de-
scribed as like that Of a dragon. An
ancient statue shows the tail as If
it were snake.
Mounted on Pegasus, Bellerophon
flew through the air. At last he
came on the Chimera and slew it
by shooting arrows into it. Thus he
became . greater hero than he had
been before.

By Florence s. Bergman.

Ralston Crawford, who trans
forms architectural and industrial
subjects into abstract paintings, is
having a one-man exhibition at
Caresse Crosby's Gallery of Modern
Art, until April 30 Now a master
sergeant in the Army Air Forces, he
is living in Washington and making
an important contribution to the
service. Col. D. N. Yates, chief OF
the weather information branch,
United States Army Air Forces, paid
tribute to Sergt. Crawfords graphic
presentations of the weather, which
are used in educating rapidly large
numbers of men to whom weather
is terribly important in war.
These interpretations, which were
results of the combined efforts OF
the artist and a meterologist, in
f1uenced Mr.. Crawford's painting
as will be seen in the present exhi-
bition. 1t is retrospective of his
past decade. He has long drawn
his inspiration from bridges, boats
highways, tanks and other large
simple forms of contemporary in
dustry. His spacious, clean-cut
transcriptions of these shapes here
tofore have retained enough of their
natural appearance to make them
easily comprehended. But his most
recent canvases extract only the
essence of a subject; consequently
the spectator must forego the pleas
ures of recognition and be content
with an architectural feeling or
atmosphere emanating from the
picture, which is composed of flat
patterns in primary colors, black
and white.
Most of us probably find it diff
ficult to breathe very long in the
rarified air of pure abstraction. In
comparison with his latest works
Sergt. Crawford's paintings of a
few years ago, such as Water
Tank" pennsylvania Barn" and
Public Grain Elevators, New Or
leans" are warm, human scenes
full of nostalgia charm.
Sergt. Crawford was born in St.
Catharines, Ontario, Canada, in
1906; but is now an American citi-
zen. He devoted considerable time
to the study Of art, attending schools
in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Paris
and New York City, and studying
independently in Spain and Italy.
He was himself an instructor at
the Cincinnati Art Academy and
at the Albright Art School, Buffalo.
He is represented in the Phillips
Memorial Gallery and Library of
Congress, in the Metropolitan and
Whitney Museums, New York City;
the collection of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica and others.

His paintings are generally small

Charles ". Hufson PAINTINGS
At PHILLIPS Gallery

During the whole month of April
a unique collection of paintings by
the late Charles w. Hutson of
Louisiana, together with paintings
by other self-taught artists, will be
on view in the print rooms of the
Phillips Memorial Gallery.
Hutson, born in South Carolina
in 1910 and veteran of the Civil
War, fighting in the Confederate
Army, took UP his residence in New
Orleans, where in 1886 he died, ripe
in years. After a successful bust
ness career he retired at the age
OF IS and, as hobby, took up paint
ing. This probably came about by
the fact that his daughter, Ethel,
had become an artist, studying I'M
der the best masters in this coun-
