Works Suitable for the Average Home
Feature Barnett Alden Gallery Show
BY Florence s. Berryman.

The Barnett Alden Gallery recently
opened the best exhibition this re-
viewer has seen there in many
months. 1t is a group show of %
paintings in oil and water color and
as many drawings, by 20 artists. 1t
adequately exemplifies a major OBJ
iective of this gallery: to display
work suitable for the average home.
These paintings depict pleasant,
noncontroversial subjects in good
harmonious color schemes, their
character is predominantly conserv-
ative and they are medium in size.
Many of the artists in this show
were represented in the large ex-
hibition THE Negro Artist Comes
of Age" recently held at the Albany
Institute of Art, which is to be sent
on a national circuit by the Ameri-
can Federation of Arts. The latter
organization has circulated one or
more exhibitions annually for sew
eral years of work by Negro artists.
Four oil paintings by Ellis Wilson
in the Alden show indicate that there
is nothing stereotyped about this
young artists talent. His Flower
Seller" is large, broadly handled,
simplified, in bright colors. "Old
Street, Charleston" is an appealing
transcription of row of Negro
dwellings, in soft grayed rose, yellow,
violet and other colors, enlivened by

Many airplanes of today travel a
mile in 10 seconds and some 60 even
faster. How different the speed is
now from that of pioneer airplanes
When the Wright brothers made
their first flights they could not go
even half mile minute.
In 1899 Wilbur and Orville Wright
began to make tests with box kites
and airplane gliders. They were, at
the time, owners of bicycle shop in
Dayton, Ohio. Wilbur was 80 and
his brother 28.
These men were not the first to
make flights in gliders. Otto Lilien-
thai had done fine work in this field
in Germany and so had several
others, including Octave Chanute,
an American.
The Wrights' gliders were biplanes
which looked something like huge
box kites. More than 1000 glides
were made in these gliders before a
fateful day, came when they tested
one in which they had placed a
motor.
The glides were carried on In
North Carolina, near the village of
Kitty Hawk. During summer vaca-
tions the brothers went there with
gliders which they had built in Day.

which measured feet by 80 feet.
At the time of the last count
Kitty Hawk had population of 80
persons. There were few to watch

those events were to be of great i'm
portance. In glider with . wing

spread of 40 feet the Wrights placed
la 12-horsepower gasoline motor.
There were belts to turn two pro-
pellers, each with two blades. In
stead of wheels there were light
runners for taking off and landing.
Tests with this machine were
made in the midst Of sand dunes.
The sand offered a cushion in case
of crash.
On December II, 1903. the first
successful flight was made. Orville
Wright was aboard and the propel-
lers carried the biplane along the
runway until it rose above the
ground. Working against a 27-mile
wind, it flew 100 feet in u seconds.
Later that day the brothers took
turns in flying their man-carrying
machine. The longest flight was
made by Wilbur Wright, who few
852 feet in SO seconds. That was a
distance of almost a sixth of a mile.
The average speed was just under
II miles an hour.
In these days we may wonder
how an airplane could even stay in
the air at a speed of IL miles an
hour. The Wright biplane was of
very light weight and it rose only a
few feet above the ground. The i'm
portant thing was not the speed but
the fact of flight. 1t was proved
that a man could fly in a motor
driven plane and could land with no
harm to himself or the plane.
Five men from a nearby life
saving station watched the Wrights
make those pioneer flights. The
world in general was not to know
about them until several years later.

Meanwhile the Navy selected cer-

With these were 1t. William Draper,

than courage, including the bitter
cold of the Aleutian Islands and the
excitement of the capture of Manila.
They have one and all shown that
they could take it-as the saying
goes. And the experiences have by
no means hurt their art.

Phoebe A. Hearst School.
Recently my daddy and I went to
see the American Seaman, a mer-
chant marine training ship docked
here to help sell War Bonds. We
had to climb some steep boards that
had ropes on each side to keep us
from falling off. After We got
aboard We saw lifeboat and all the
things that belong in it--a sail. oars.
f1ashlight, rocket gun and fishing
lines.
Then We went all over the ship.
We saw guns on the decks and coils
of rope bigger than my arm,
On the lower deck we saw where
the crew sleeps. There were a lot
of beds, most of them double
deckers, some triple, which turn up
against the wall The clothes lock-
ers were next to the beds.
We saw the galley and dining
room with long tables that have
ridges all around, about an inch
high, to keep the dishes from slid
ing off when the water is rough.
Long benches are used instead of
chairs.
We went down in the ship until
we were lower than the water out
side and We saw pipes and engines.
Back on deck-on the bridge-a
man told us about the clocks, phones
and wheels to steer the ship. Many
flags and pennants were across the
top of the vessel.
They said the President was ex-
pected. so we watched the sailboats
go by, listened to the music and the
broadcast over the radio until clos
ing time. $50 pm. But the Presi-
dent didn't come, SO we went home.

Is Hyattsville Boys Hobby

Church, Va. He had always been in
terested in wildlife and this interest
came to life when he met boy who
had a hawk. He borrowed some of
the boys books on the subject.
1T is through appetite principally
that hawks are trained" Jimmy
says. but to fit them for use in
the field much patience, gentleness
and care are necessary"
The aim of the falconer should be
to have his hawk always keen and
its appetite when it is brought into
the field should be such as to in
duce the bird to put forth its full
power to obtain its food. Jimmy
has found that it costs only 20 cents
a week to feed hawk
Besides falconry Jimmy likes all

pecially basketball, baseball and
