they are physically unable to reach
more than 10 per cent of the popu-

Meanwhile, there were develop

Exhibit Of Child Books
In Meeks' Collection
Extended by Gallery

The exhibition of the Bernard M.
Meeks' collection of children's books
and illustrations will be continued
through next Sunday at the Cor
coran Gallery of Art. Previously
it had been scheduled to close
Thursday.
The exhibit has attracted wide
interest Favorites with the public,
Mr.. Meeks said yesterday, have been
Beatrix Potter's original version of
Peter Rabbit and early copies of the
Kate Greenaway books. e. March II
was the Tooth anniversary of the
birth of Kate Greenaway and was
celebrated throughout the country.
Mr.. Meeks said he thought the
reason so many persons were inter-
ested in the Greenaway works was
that thousands who are now adults
were raised on them"
Another thing which seems to
interest most who came to view the
exhibit, he said, is a series of books
which were hand colored by chill
dren. He said it was publishing
practice between 1905 and 1925 to
give street gamins a square meal
and some old clothes and have them
work out their fare putting in a
color apiece on book illustrations.
He said the public has been highly
amused at an illustration in an
early American volume which shows
Sir Walter Raleigh's man-servant
pouring pail of water in his face
because he thought he Was on fire
when actually he was smoking.

1l-year-old pianist, Mervin Berger.
Young Berger has the aplomb of
a seasoned artist and a technical
facility of astounding finish. His
performance of the concerto move
ment held limpid quality of tone
that lent itself with ease to variety
of shadings. He is a scholarship
pupil of Nine. Samarof- -Stokowski

before. The commentator told the
audience that Master Berger played
without an orchestral rehearsal as
he could not leave school to arrive

Red Cross Aid to GI Brides
Described by Caroline Brown
District Girl Soils
For Australia to
Gerry on Work
By Jessie Font Eyons

A Red Cross worker, Miss CAROLINE
Brown, daughter of Mr.. andOMrs
William Nelson Brown, 1920 Newark
street NV, has just sailed from
San Francisco on the steamer Mon
terey to help bring the brides of
servicemen from Australia. She is
the only Washington girl with this
Red Cross detail.
From her close association with
English girls and their families dur
ing more than two and one half
years service overseas with the Red
Cross, Miss Brown is confident that
both the English servicemen's brides
and their colonial sisters are going
to make admirable wives and
mothers.
Almost uniformly, English girls
have a magnificent spirit about ad-
justing themselves to a new land,
are conscious of the opportunities
in it for themselves and their chill
dren, and are determined to make a
60 of their married lives" she says.
Their families naturally are sad
dened at the distances which will
separate them from their daughters
and their grandchildren, possibly for
their lives. But they, too, are eager
ly hopeful that these war marriages
will stick"
Admires British.
Caroline Brown, with her ready
smile and charmingly modulated
voice, who left all Of her own family
and former associates at the Holton
Arms School to do her Red Cross
work, has a tremendous admiration
for the way the British are meeting
food shortages.
When she left England the people
there still were not only being ra-
toned, but were actually worse off
than during the war.
The American Red Cross was often
the only anchorage with home that
our enlisted personnel had during
the war, Miss Brown says. In their
ability to get in touch with their
homes through the Red Cross in the
