Washingfon Painter
In Calendar

The Pepsi-Cola Co.'S first annual
competition for a Portrait of Amer
ica," facts concerning which were
given in this colmun last spring, held
second one during 1945, awarded
20 prizes at the end of the year
totaling sl5,250, and reproduced II
of the winning paintings on it's 1916
calendar. From more than 5000
entrants jury selected $50, from
which the final winners were chosen
among whom was Washington
Artist Sergt. Oke Nordgren. He was
connected with the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art, studied at the Corcoran
School and was well known here as
an exhibitor and prize winner before
| he joined the Army. Although
Sergt. Nordgren was one of the Is
who received $500 awards, his paint
ing, Southern Town." was one OF
the II selected for calendar repro
duction.
The group of $50 paintings has al
ready started its travels around the
country. One may hope that the
Pepsi and Upjohn collections
will visit Washington eventually.
The Connecticut Mutual Life In
surance Co., which has issued an
nually since 1885 a. calendar repro
ducing paintings by contemporary
American artists, is commemoratine
this year its centenary. The COM
pany commissioned the American
Artists Group to prepare a special
anniversary calendar.
These admirable reproductions deal
with the American scene as por-
trayed by famous American artists
who lived during the century of the
company's growth. The paintings
selected are in permanent collec-
tions, museums, colleges and his
torical societies. The August page
has Eastman Johnsons "Old Ken
lucky Home" which was painted in
washington when the artist lived
here on F street between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth; this painting now

the company obtains works by

about two-thirds as high as their

good milk or beef producers. Whilo
no effort has been made as vet to
mate them, geneticists believe that
the second generation would be born
dead and that the survival of thu
type In the world will be only for
the lifetime Of the single bull.
Otherwise, 1t is pointed out, this

ary hypothesis was first propoundedS
1t would have, however, no par-
ticular value to beef producers or,

The dzo-reported by two Agri-;
culture Department explorers and
an Once Of Strategic Services colo-l
mel who entered Tibet's forbidden
capital OF Lhasa during the war
is a hybrid between the COW and the
yak, the chief domestic animal Of
the high mountains of Central Asia.
The yak itself is both a good milk
producer and a beast OF burden. It
is adept at ranging for food in the
mountains. 1t Is at its best at alti.
tudes Ct more than three miles
above sea level. It will dig through
the snow for grass and can live by
licking up broken and wilted blades
Of last years grass which have been
blown by the wind and partially i'm
cedded in the soil. At the same
time 1t serves as a pack animal and
provides milk for its drivers.
Combining yak and cow gives an
animal which is much heavier and
stronger and better milk producer,
according to Drs. Ralph w. Phillips
and Ray G.. Johnson, the agricul-
tural explorers, and Col. lila A.
Tolstoy, the OSS officer. 1t is har-
dier and a better forager than the
COW but somewhat inferior to the
yak in endurance and ability to
survive on extremely scanty grass.
1t Is considered as q possible valu-
able addition to domestic animals In
mountainous country.

COMEDY, A DIFFICULT ART
Some recall the smooth and in
telligent comedy Of Bert Williams,
but point out that Williams had
no peers in comedy. Only a few
men are able to produce laughs in
the Williams manner, they say.
Comedy is rated as the most diff
cult art in show business. Gag
writing requires a high degree of
training.
Patrons might laugh, but often
frown, on the vulgar jokes used
by many Negro comedians in the
aters and night clubs. A know
ledge of comedy viii produce
laughs, theatrical critics claim,
without repeated reference to sex
or race. They contrasted Edgar
Bergen's Jokes with some heard
