Arts Clubs
New Oferine

Since Thanksgiving, The Arts
Club has been featuring women
artists. Last Sunday, exhibitions
by Theodore Kane and Phoebe
Hyatt replaced those by Mary Ruth
Snow and Ethel Robertson Gath.
This is Miss Hyatt's first solo ex-
hibition in Washington or else
where, although she has exhibited
in local group shows. She studied
at the Abbott School here, with
Henry Hensche in Provincetown,
and with Eliot O'Hara, who has in
fuenced her work most noticeably,
She is now teaching at the Abbott
School and is also head of the art
department at Holton Arms School.
About half of Miss Hyatt's COL
lection Of Is water colors, on view in
the reception rooms, were done In
Mexico, where she spent six months
this year, to September. The others
were painted in New England, West
Virginia and the vicinity of WASH
ington. This American group in
cludes the works which impressed
the reviewer as Miss Hyatt's best:
Annapolis, Spring Again" "Old
Fence" Cape Cod Dunes" ano
Moonlight" and Stormy Sky"
These are either crisp and sunny
or romantic in mood, and give the
impression that the artist felt a
definite response to her surround
ings and expressed it with assur-
ance.

work in this collection, are his por-
trait of the architect Desbedan, who
like the artist, was a fellow of the
French Academy in Rome, at the
Villa Medici and the neo-classic
"Stratonice," painted more than half
century apart.
Contemporary with the orderly
realism of Ingres was the ardent
romanticism of Gericault and Della

King of France, by the English un-

Courbet, who carried the torch for
realism, is represented with an ad-
mirable portrait of Alfred Bruyas, a
distinguished 18th century art pa
tron who owned not a few of the
paintings in this collection, among
them another by Courbet, of the
River Loue, which the artist referred
to as the most beautiful landscape
I have ever painted in my life"
Back to Nature
A group Of French painters in the
mid-19th century went back to
nature for their inspiration. These
Barbizon landscape painters are ex-
tremely well represented by Dau-
bigny's large "Sluice in the Valley of
Optevoz," Theodore Rousseau's
"Forester's House" and, Morning"
and fine group by Corot-one of

"Vue de Nantes" his exquisitely
painted Roman Forum" and his

only thing Johnnie didn't like was
that Daddy still had to report for

boy just couldn't understand why
his father couldn't stay home with
him every day.
And it was especially bad this
particular day, because Johnnie had
cold and couldn't go to school. He
found his father in the bathroom
shaving.

Security To Be Main Object
Of British at San Francisco

this year the British will have been
forced to liquidate some $4,000, ,000,-
900 worth of foreign investments,
long maj jor factor in their national
income. The United Kingdom S
merchant fleet has shrunk from ap-
proximately l7,5O0,O00 tons in 1889 to
about 13,500,000 tons, despite heavy
building program. British exports
have decreased to about one-fourth
of the volume and one-half the value
of prewar levels.
Traditionally a manufacturing
and shipping nation, Britain must

losses and to provide a national in

The key to British policy at the
forthcoming United Nations Con.
ference in San Francisco can be
found in one word-security.
Long mistress of the worlds seas
first among financial and CONNER
cial powers and protected from the
land armies of Europe by the 90
mile-wide "moat" of the English
Channel. Great Britain will end the
present war in less fortunate po-
sition.
The military aspects of this
change were emphasized by Prime
Minister Churchill after thousands
of Allied troops had stormed the
beachheadS of France on D day
Speaking in Commons last August
he pointed out that since the tech
nical problems involved in throwing
great masses of troops across the
Channel from west to east had been
solved. an invasion army also could
move from east to WeSt--or against
England.
Dubious Defense.
Moreover. the fortunes of war
have made of dubious efficacy what
long was British diplomatic
weapon of defense on the continent
the balance of power policy. Now
Russia stands pre-eminent among
European nations in military might.
After the war Germany and Italy
will be impotent. Many years must
pass before France again is formi-
dable on the battlefield
Nor is Britain'S interest limited
to the continent. Heart of world
wide empire. London is concerned
over menace to the peace in any
part of the globe.
Finally, like the United States but
to a far greater degree. Great Brit
ain needs an era of peace and Sc
curity 10 recoup its badly damaged
economic position in the world.
When all these factors are con-
sldered II is not surprising that the
Dumbarton Oaks security plan has
been warmly welcomed by the Brit
lSh public. There has been viz
tually no criticism OF it in either
Parliament or the press. SO far as
is apparent now, Great Britain will
support the security draft plan
without offering any major amend

Chances Slim for
Vet to Secure
Surplus Machines

For a number of reasons, chances
tor a war veteran TO secure a surplus
army or navy automobile are slim,
according TO word received from the
smaller war plants corporation by
5. L. Click, service officer for the
Montana veterans welfare commits
sion in northeastern Montana.
Figures received by the SWPC in
dlcate that the number of service
able passenger automobiles in the
service OF the army will not exceed
l9,OOO, while those in the navy will
not exceed 5000. Each service has
indicated that it will be releasing
but few of these cars.
Even for those released, first pri-
ority on them goes to federal, state,
county and city agencies, which
would take at least half. The few re-
manning would have to be allocated
to ITO district offices of the SWPC
over the nation, each one of which
has more than 1000 applications for
cars. Further, nc surplus is sold for
personal use.
Mr.. Click pointed out that there
is other surplus property available
TO wal veterans. Full information
may be secured at his office in the
first National Bank building.
