But the heart lies 50 catawum-
pus in the chest, not in a nice &C.
tangular manner with the four
chambers presenting like pigeon
holes to the front, that further de-
auctions from X-ray studies are
open to as much or more doubt
than can be made by a good eli
nician by looking, feeling and lis
tening to the chest. And, of
course, the X-ray being a visual
and not an auditory instrument,
such things as heart murmurs I
not revealed by the X-ray at all.
The lungs and their coverings,
the pleura, when attacked by dis
ease inevitably form scar tissue
or other processes which create
greater densities. so here again
the x-ray VIII reveal them. But
even more perfected x-ray tubes
had to be made to show these than
to show the heart shadows.
Lung tuberculosis
In tuberculosis Of the lungs ow.
as we emphasized in articles asst
month. the X-ray is the best and
most accurate diagnostic lnstru-
ment We have. Its percentage Of
error of omission is less than that
of all other methods Of eXamina-
ton for tuberculosis, temperature,
sputus examination and stetho-
scope, combined. The use Of the
X-ray enables US to go through a
group Of the population and pick
out the cases of tuberculosis with
only about a II per cent margin
of error. The other methods, how
ever, tell US the degree Of dis
ability.
In disease of the pleura with ac-
cumulations of fluid and pus, the
x-ray gives accurate information
about the extent and size Of the
pockets of fluid.
In summary I should say that:
in heart disease the X-ray con-
tributes about 20 per CEN Of our
diagnostic information. In tGber-
culosis, about so per cent. In other
conditions, about so per cent We
still need the clinician's mind to

Army Photographers
Lead Exciting Lives
RvI. x. Hepel

Looking for excitement? II you
are, the life of the Army Sigma.
Corps photographer will appeal te
you, for he is the soldier who has
more thrills packed into one week
of his life than you could get with
lifetime of double-feature movies
This important member of the
Signal Corps is usually a fellow who
has had some experience in photog-
raphy either in an amateur or pro-
fessional way. If he has latent tai
ent, this forms basis for the Army
training in which he is taught the
fine points of war photography. The
soldier emerges from such training
not only an expert cameraman, but
an equally expert marksman, ready
for coAbat He travels by jeep.
He travels by plane. Care of films
in either the Arctic or the tropics,
depending on where he is stationed,
is another field of study on which
the Signal Corps photographer en-
barks and from which he emerges
master. Such training is not going
to- be wasted after the war.
Photography is going to make big
strides forward during this war, as
we'll as after it. The combat camera
that is being used with such sue
cess by the Navy because of its pis-
tol grips and quick action, was built
in a movie studio in California
Hollywood's gift to the armed serv-
ices. Much that the Army and Navy
photographers are now learning in
the combat zones will likewise be re-
turned to Hollywood some day in

Uncle Rays Corner .

To the north of the Arabian
Desert is the Tigris River, which
flows past Baghdad, the capital and
chief city of Iraq.
Baghdad is about ZOO years old
It is an important trading center
and among it's residents are Arabs
Turks, Persians and Armenians.
Something like a thousand years
ago, people in the area of Baghdad
began to hear the stories which
have become known as the Arabian
Nights"
To explain the writing of the
Arabian Nights" a story was in
vented about a young wife of a
Sultan in Baghdad. The Sultan was
planning to put her to death the
next day. but she told him the
first part of an adventure story
He grew interested, and asked how
the story came out, but the wife
said he must wait until the next
evening before she could tell him
more about it.
The next evening, more Of the
story was told, but the Sultan again
was put off about the way it woulo
end. In that way, the clever woman
postponed the day of her death
until, at length, the Sultan decided
he was too fond of her to let hel
| be executed.

The majority of Washingtonians
who see them will probably like the
paintings of our city by Grace Horn
Meas, now on exhibition at David
Porter Gallery, to remain a few
more days. They lack certain quail
tiles when judged from the esthetic
standpoint: but they obviously were
done with so much enthusiasm, ap-
probation and industry that they
produce pleasing impression.
Mrs Meas has lived here for sew
eral years, since her husband &C
cepted position in the Office of the
Judge Advocate General She is a
self taught artist and her work is
semiprimitive in character. Prior
to coming to Washington she had
undertaken a colossal task, making
a documentary record in paint Of
the town of Broken Arrow, Okla,
where her husband was superin-
tendent of schools. She planned a
hundred paintings, to immortalize
every aspect of Broken Arrow; but
she has not yet completed the series.
She exhibited quote a number of
them at the Porter Gallery in De-
cember, 1943.
The present group, a documentary
record of Washington, D. c., is
markedly superior to the Broken
Arrow series. In the first place, the
artist has subject worthy of her
time and energy. Some observers
will disagree, arguing that Wash
ington has been painted countless
times, while Broken Arrow was vir-
gin territory. But since our hand
some buildings and beautiful parks
are new to each artist who sees them
for the first time, there seems to be
no logical reason why we should
not have these different reactions
to the National Capital.
Mrs. Meas has painted the Union
Station, Capitol, White House Cat
Roosevelt's last inauguration), the
Jefferson Memorial framed in cherry
blossoms, Dupont Circle, the Lincoln
Memorial, the Monument, Mount
Vernon, the Lee-Custis Mansion and
the Water Gate. In most instances,
she has centered the building or
monument, giving her paintings OBJ
vious balance, which is restful and
satisfying. She has also concen-
trated her attention upon the build
ings, painting every brick or stone,
every blade of grass in the sur
rounding lawns, every leaf on the
trees. The figures introduced have
been treated in a casual way; they
are mere calligraphic notations in
some paintings, slightly more sub
stantial in others, but faceless. In
fact, if Mrs. Meas brings her paint
ing of figures up to the point she
has reached in depicting architec-
ture, she will have made consider
able progress.

demons") and the gigantic Roc.
The Roc is described as a bird
so large that its wings hid the
light of the sun. It takes part
in one Of the adventures of Sindbad
the Sailor. On his second voyage:
Sindbad is supposed to have reached
a deserted island off the eastern
coast of Africa. There he feared
he would die, but suddenly the
Roc flew to the island and landed
near him.
Thinking quickly, Sindbad picked
up a piece of rope and bound him.
self to one of the legs of the huge
bird. Soon, the Roc flew away,
carrying Sindbad through the air.
The sailor was carried a large
part of the way back toward his
home. but the bird did not 60 clear
to Baghdad. Instead, it alighted
in the Valley of Diamonds.
AS soon as he felt the firm ground
under the Roc's claws, Sindbad
united the rope and stepped free.
The Roc few away soon there-
after.
Sindbad picked up many gems
before he left the Valley of Dia-
monds. Later, he sold the gems
and lived In luxury until he started
his next voyage.

Elf's Pond
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By June SickeIS, I8,
Central High School.

central dleQ Scn00i.
There's a pond in our back yard
That's quite common place by
day,
Yet at night, my grandmom says
It's the place where fairies play
They dance upon the lily pads
And paint the pebbles pink,
And have lot of other fun,
My grandmom seems to think.
And one time, as I was swinging
And was way up in the air,
I could have sworn I'd seen some
elves
Playing leap-frog there!
But, always, when I view the pond
From not so far away,
It's just an ordinary pool
Where schools of fishes play.

and II many changes have taken
place, none greater than the concep-
ton of art and its relation to life
its power to charm, console and
strengthen-through the interpre-
tation of beauty, both visual and
spiritual.
These and other thoughts are
provoked by the current exhibition,
which. unfortunately, is of short du-
ration, closing with the present
month. But the collection is a ma
tional possession, in the custody of
the Smithsonian Institution and it
can, therefore, be seen by those spe-
cially interested, upon application
to the curator, Ruel P. Tolman,
whose Office is in the National
Museum.
Galleries Rearranged
Two cf the galleries on the main
floor of the National Museum (Nat-
ural History Building), given over
to display of the national art COL
lection, lately have been rehung.
In them may now be seen some old
friends returned from hiding
though never very far away-and
in &C 4ltion several recent acquisi-
tionS and notable loans. Among the
first are three landscapes from the
Evans collection, Path to the VII
lage," by j. F. Murphy; Summer"
by Charles H. Davis, and THE Tor
rent" by j. H. Twachtman, each
distinctive in style and rendering but
closely akin in merit and charm.
With these, and delightfully."- in ac-
cord with them, is Mary Cassatt's
painting of mother and children,
which is very characteristic, and
on an opposite wall a most lovely
rendition of pale tinted roses in a
white jar, exquisitely subtle and ef-
fective, the work of John Weir and
the gift of Miss A. M. Hegemann,
formerly of this city. Among the
recent acquisitions is Carl Melcher's
large, impressive canvas, "The Ser
mona scene in a Dutch church,
which for some time hung as loan
in the Corcoran Gallery of Art and
is fully representative.
Most notable among the loans is a
full-length portrait of the late Mrs.
Frank B. Noyes. by Juliet Thomp-
son, formerly of this city. 1t is dated
1902 and is in pastel, a medium
which the artist handled most
skillfully. The style is that of the
English school, admirably adapted.
1t pictures Mrs. Noyes in an eve
ming gown of charming color and
style seated with her face turned

toward the observer The pose is
excellent, the expression animated.
Artistically this portrait greatly re-
bounds to the artists credit. Few
ever have handled pastels more
skillfully than she. But also it recalls
the interest Mrs. Noyes perennially
took in art and her less-known but
equally proverbial kindnesses to
young artists. The portrait is very
well placed,

Jim Berryman's Cartoons
At Central Hiqh School

Twenty recent cartoons by Jim
Bergman, occupy the walls of Gen.
trail High Schools art alcove, a
high-ceilinged, well-lighted room
on the third floor, the use of which
has been a student activity for
seven years. The management is
entirely in the hands of a board
of students elected to represent the
eight major art appreciation classes.
Katherine Sunny, art instructor
gives aid and advice when requested.
The president of the Art Alcove
this year is Samuel Cummings, who
with the board members, decides
what exhibitions shall be shown
there.
They favor work done by former
students of Central High, which
now has an impressive roster of
alumni who have won renown in
many professions. Jim Bergman
graduated from Central in 1920.
While a student there, he was art
editor of the Bulletin, and made
cartoons for it. An early volume
Is on view in the art alcove, enabling
visitors to compare his drawings of
1919 with those Of the past 1s
months.
His technique now is clean-cut,
his line expressive, his ability to
capture likeness Is sure. His years
as sports cartoonist gave him mas
terry over the representation Of ac-
ton. A number Of the cartoons on
view have active figures, such as
the recent one Of Argentina Gas q
gaucho) making a flying leap from
the dock, to the ship Allies" on
the deck Of which Churchill, Roose-
velt and Stain remark that he
nearly missed the boat"
Humorous details In Jim Berry,
mans cartoons make them worthy
Of more than glance, yet do not
detract from the single impact. An
example Is one Of last Christmas
week, showing Chester Bowles an
nouncing to John @. Public the new

sternation is subtly heightened by

hand, pointing up the vision of Santa
Claus driving of in the sky.

Navy artist, is also a Central alum
nus, and had an exhibition in the
art alcove some months ago.

| lust Between
Ourselves
BY Phiib II. Love

The last time I heard from Be-
atrice Gussin, Is, of Roosevelt High
School, her collection of photo
graphs of movie stars totaled 1875.
Now she has twice that many
which, think. is pretty good COL
lecting. It is, If you'd like a figure,
an average Of 15.625 pictures for
each of the last eight months.
One Of Beatrice's other hobbies
collecting original drawings by
professional artists-also has pro-
duced some interesting results.
'I've got some swell sketches, photos
of the artists and letters from
them" she writes. "I have some
original scripts, too."
Newman Sudduth, who draws the
Heroes of the Washington area"
portraits for the gravure section of
The Sunday Star, is Beatriee's IA
vorite artist. "Au I dream of now"
she says, "is a sketch of Linda
Darnell by Mr.. Sudduth. "I'd be in
seventh heaven"
The reason Beatrice is so inter-
ested in art work is that she hopes
to become a professional artist
some day. Lately, she has been
making sketches of her favorite
movie stars and sending them to
Hollywood. She hopes, of course,
that the stars will send them back,
autographed.
Seeing the stars in person is an
other of Beatrice's hobbies. So far
she's had fairly close looks at about
100 of them, including Lana Turner
of whom she writes: Boy! Is she a
beauty!"
Two of Beatrice's hobbies have
as she puts it, slowed up." Her
postcard collection is more or less at
a standstill, and she's had to lay
aside her photography because of
the film shortage But there's some
compensation, she feels, in her
newest hobby, collecting pictures of
radio personalities.
Big doings are being planned at
Central High School for the night
of May la variety of events to
be presented under the title, "'45
1--WE"
The part of the program that's
arousing the most interest right
now, according to Junior Star Cor
respondent June Sickels, is the
naming of king" and queen" OF
the jive. Everybody is busy plug
ging for favorite candidates, but
the winners won't be announced
until the night of the party, which
of course, is keeping the whole
school in suspense.
Miss Ann Heider, swimming
teacher, is chairman of the COM
mittee working out the program
Plans made so far call for a riding
show, melodrama, mystery play
aquacade, shadow show, sideshow
athletic exhibition, and European
and Oriental cafes. There will also
be special booths, including one in
which recordings will be made and
another for fortune telling.
The proceeds will go into the
School Fund, which is used to meet
needs not provided for in appro-
priations-the purchase of athletic
equipment, for instance.
