Spelling, Barking
And Patting Bee
Makes All 'HovP
Bv Katherine Houison

Spelling bees are always popular,
and here's an idea that makes them
much more fun. Any size crowd
can play, yet it's just as good fun
for the family at home.
Divide your group into two teams
with one person extra to give out
the words. Now, explain that Ger
tain letters, say "E" and p" will
not be mentioned Instead, when
ever these occur in the word to oe
spelled, the player must bark like
a dog for "E" and pat himself on
the head for p Choose letters
which occur often enough to keep
the spoilers busy.
If the player fails to make the
correct gesture, or uses the name
instead of the act. it counts as a
misspelled word and he or she drops
out. It's fun for the rest of the
players to watch the barking and
patting and lot harder than it
sounds!
You can prepare a list of words in
which the letters you select for act
ing out occur as often as possible.
This makes it more difficult, as there
are more chances of the spoilers
making mistakes.
If your crowd are good spoilers,
you might choose more than two let
ters to act out and make the actions
more complicated than the ones
suggested-but simple or compli-
Gated, you'll find it lot of fun for
eyery one.

Tommy Dix Sends
Powell Pupils With
Buckle Down Song
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Marion Schiller, Is,
Powell Junior High School.

Powell Junior High School.
One day recently, Powell Junior
High was filled with excitement
Imagine! Tommy Dix, the singing
sensation of Best Foot Forward, -
was coming to sing for us.
Jacqueline Gamse of the eighth
grade knew Tommy from her home
State, Alabama When she heard
he was to appear in Washington
she asked Tommy to help in a pro-
gram to spur the sale of War Stamps
at Powell. 1t turned out that Tom
my had visited schools on his bond
tours. Honorably discharged from
the infantry, he felt that helping
different schools in the sale OF
stamps and bonds would be a con-
tribution to the war effort.
At Powell. the sale began in the
morning. The choice seats were for
the few who purchased bonds These
pupils also received Tommy's auto
graph at the end of the program
The next best seats were for those
who bought IS worth of stamps
Other seats sold for 81. The sale
of stamps and bonds was a huge
success, amounting to S1,03l.
At 2:15 pm. practically the whole
school was in the auditorium wait
ing for Tommy to appear. His first
song was Great Day And wher
he sang Buckle Down." we were
really sent. That was supposed tC
be his last number, but he came
back for an encore
After the other boys and girls
had returned to their classroonls the
privileged few received Tommy Dix {
autograph On the whole. it was ar
experience the Powell students will
not soon forget.

FIowers and Gardens
At Crosby Gallery

In strong contrast to the abb
stract paintings by Ralston Craw-
ford shown last month at Caresse
Crosby's Gallery of Modern Art. is
the present exhibition of Flowers
and Gardens" painted by Jessie
Drew-Bear, Pennsylvania artist.
1t closes Tuesday, to be succeeded
by recent work of Pietro Lazzari of
Washington.
Mrs. Drew-Bear lives in New Hope,
where she cultivates a garden that
provides much of her subject mat
ter. Her paintings are cheerful,
dealing with cottages, interiors, gar
dens and vases of flowers. Her colors
are bright and fresh. The parlors,
sitting rooms and other interiors
she has painted have Victorian
appearance, with rugs and WALL
paper of intricate patterns, every
detail of which she has Transcribed
painstakingly. Every inch of can
vas is covered with something, as
are the rooms she has painted. This
may induce touch of CATASTROPHE
bia in people who like little space
around them and who also like their
perspectives true.
For Mrs. Drew-Bear's lines are
not altogether plumb. Her work is
primitive, despite the fact that
she studied with Arthur Carles, one
of Philadelphia's leading abstract
painters. Since not a trace of his
influence is to be discerned in her
work one concludes that Mrs. Drew
Bear is an indomitable individualist.
This is her first solo exhibition
here; she has had others in New
York City, Hartford, Conn; New
Hope and Philadelphia, She has
also been included in exhibitions at
the Corcoran Gallery and the Penn
sylvania Academy of Fine Arts.

By Florence s. Bergman

Prentiss Taylor gives an excellent
account of himself in his one-man
show which opened last Thursday
at the Whyte Gallery, to remain to
the end of this month. 1t COM
prises more than 20 works: Oils
water colors, Autographs and draw
ings, all done since January, 1914
The artist has made no epochal
discoveries in these 16 months, but
his exhibition has good painting,
pictorial appeal and some strong
work in black and white.
A large, handsome painting of a
Spanish colonial church at lima
pan, Mexico, is outstanding among
the oils. 1t has a nice balance of
warm and cool colors, and a feeling
of solidity and permanence. "Taxco
Painting Class" too, . arresting,
with a touch of irony. The art stu
dents are concentrating upon a
white china pitcher, while unnoticed
beyond the arch where they are
working, is a magnificent archi-
tectural panorama.
Half of the oil group is composed
of small paintings of musicians.
''Landowska, Home to the Harpsi-
chord" quiet study in pink, mauve
and grays, seems to suggest the
essential isolation of the artist,
alone with the medium OF express
sion.
Mr.. Taylor has a fair for finding
Cor imagining) unusual subjects
Among his watercolors is one Of a
soldiers baptism, Total Immersion
Caserta Reale, in pool surrounded
by sculptured figures, which nearly
overpower the two human beings.
The presence OF, wind and rain is
we'll conveyed in two watercolor
landscapes.
A number of war subjects are in
cluded in the black-and-white work.
Execution of Pietro Caruso," an
ink-and-wash drawing on gray
paper, is stark in its simplicity. But
several war Autographs are filed
with detail. "Siesta, Montecas-
sino" depicts soldiers resting in q
ruined chapel, surrounded by dead
and wounded; a figure of Christ
broken from the cross, serves to
symbolic the tragedy of this holy
places destruction.
"Sculptor's Family" in which
lithograph the infant and his
mother make a single impression
and Autumn Breakfast" (possibly
self -portrait) are engaging in SUBJ
ject interest.
Mr.. Taylor needs no introduction
to Washingtonians. He was born
here, and now lives in Arlington
He has had one-man shows and
has been represented in many group
exhibitions. He studied under three

Sonnet for Peace

st. Johns COLLEGE
Millions will rejoice on the day of
peace,
After this desperate war has
ended,
When the murderous cries of battle
cease,
And the deep gnarled scars of
war have mended.
Then mankind will work to rebuild
the earth,
And the craftsmen will nsa2 both
night and day,
AS earthlings unite in freedom s
rebirth;
But the leaders that launched the
war must pay.
All those at fault must be taken in
hand,
And be punished for their bar
barous crimes.
Justice will reign again through all
the land,
And happiness will once more
bless the times.
We must scour the earth of wars
harsh sorrow.
So that lasting peace will rule the
morrow.

Uncle Rays Corner

ever, they left on the island
friendly Indian, who had been
making the voyage with them. His
name is not recorded but we are
told that he was a native of the
Mosquito Coast of Central America.
Hiding from the Spaniards, the
Indian was not seen by them. After
they departed he took up life alone
on Goat Island Here is a short
account of his years there, as
recorded by William Dampier, a
British sea captain.
He had with him his gun and
a knife with small horn of powder
and a few shot. After the powder
was used up he found a way, by
putting hicks into his knife, to saw
the barrel of his gun into small
pieces. With these he made har-
poons, hooks and a long knife.
First he heated the pieces in
flre which he struck with his gun
hint and a piece of the barrel.
Hammered With Stones.
THE hot pieces of iron he would
hammer out and bend with stones.
saving them with his jagged knife
or grinding them to an edge by
long labor.
with such instruments he was
able to provide himself with food,
including goats and fish.
He had a little house or hut
which was lined with goatskin. His
couch was spread with the same,
as was all his bedding"
After three years on Goat Island
the Indian was rescued by another
British ship. Twenty years were to
pass before Selkirk reached Goat
Island. We shall speak of Selkirks
adventure next week.

Virginia Girl Tells
What Became of
Her Four Pets
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Patsy Lee Preston, II,
Hsmilotn (Va) School,

Hamilton (Va) School.
I thought you might be interested
in knowing what happened to my
four pets I wrote about last year.
(The Junior Star, June 4, 1944)
Joe, my pig, grew to weigh about
500 pounds and my uncle butchered
him for pork and made lard from
the fat and sausage from the lean
trimmings around the different cuts
of meat, such as the hams, shoulders
and bacon. My aunt canned the
pork steak and sausage, and my
uncle sugar-cured the hams, shoul-
ders and bacon. I enjoy the pork
steak best of all, but it is all de-
licious.
Sus and Pete, the squirrels, grew
up to be beautiful pets, but Pete,
the one who had been crippled when
he was little, died last winter. I
try to make Sus feel better by let
ting her out each day to run through
the green grass and climb trees, and
she loves it. When it is time to put
her back in the cage I coax her in
with peanuts, as she likes them
better than walnuts. My uncle
raised the peanuts in our garden
last summer and We feed them to
her now
Oscar the turtle died, although I
tried so hard to get him to eat, but
nothing suited his appetite. So now
I have two dear little goldfish to
take his place I love to watch
them swim around in their bowl,
and I don't have any trouble getting
them to eat their fish food and
graham cracker crumbs. One is
silver with some gold on his head,
and the other is all gold. Their
names are Goldie and Silver Boy.
Our big dog, Brownie, is still living
and is very friendly to all the farm
animals, and doesn't attempt to
chase Sus when she is out playing
He is my uncle's and aunt's dog, but

Mexican Prints on VieW
At Pan american
Wood engravings by Leopoldo
Mendez of Mexico constitute the
Pan American Unions third exhi-
bition in the new series of selections
from the loan collection of the
Division of Intellectual Co-opera-
ton. 1t is on view in the map room
until May 81.
These 25 wood engravings orig
inally appeared in portfolio pub
lished in Mexico two years ago
They include political cartoons, book
illustrations and aspects of Mexican
life. In the tradition of modern
Mexican graphic artists, beginning
with Posada in the 10Th century
Mendez uses the medium of his wood
engraving on behalf Of "the peo-
pie" The socially conscious" char
acter of his work is marked Many
of the cartoons in the present group
are directed against Naziism, but
a few are jibes at British and
American capitalism. One gathers
from his engravings that he is
strongly proletarian in his SYM
pathieS.
His wood engravings are sure ans
vivid and most of them are quickly
comprehended The significance OF
a few of them is obscure. From the
standpoint of esthetics several small
prints are outstanding: Thunder
bolt" and Dream of the Poor" for
examples. Another engraving ar
rests attention with it's presenta-
ton, although the theme is not new
having been used by several Mexi-
can and American artists in paint
ings, as well as prints. 1.-THE Letter
depicts a grief-stricken woman
whose anguish is expressed in her
bowed head and clenched hands.
This and other groups from the
Division of Intellectual Cooperation
are available for exhibition to
schools, colleges and art centers.
