Collecting also is the hobby Of
Barbara Coughlan, II, Of 5000 Geor-
gia avenue, Silver Spring; only her
taste runs to playing cards, rather
than perfume bottles or ivory what
nots.
Barbara, who is In the sixth grade
at st. Michael's School, Silver
Spring, reports: IT have been coll
lecting playing cards for about
year. I started with one or two
good ones and traded them for two
or more each. I gradually got more
and more until finally collected
more than 100."
Because she has always liked dogs,
Barbara prefers cards with pictures
OF the animals on them.

10 sets of twins and pair Of quad

fortunately, I have no cards with

Bolivian Artist
Paintings and sculpture by Hugo
AlmaraZ, on exhibition in the foyer
of the National Museum, under
sponsorship of the Ambassador Of
Bolivia and Sonora de Martinez
Vargas, have among other merits,
that of living up to ones expecta-
tions of Latin American art. How
ever naive we may be, some of us
still look for an exotic quality in the
work of artists south of the border;
we also look for picturesque subject
matter and uninhibited use of color
Senior Almaraz's paintings (oils
and tempera) have these qualities
Many of his subjects were inspired
by the Aymara Indians of Bolivia,
and the "cholas" in their voluminous
skirts, shawls and vanished derby
shaped hats. A few street scenes
are transcribed as simplified natu-
ralism. But most of the paintings
are concerned with strongly stylized
figures, in pairs and trios, and alb
stract decorative motifs echoing the
major theme, with rhythmic effect.
A few small sculptures by Senor
Almaraz. particularly the Miner"
a mother and child, and an Indian
head, are equally striking in their
simple planes and stylization. The
artist, who is now director of the
National School of Fine Arts, and
professor of art in two educational
institutions in La Paz, Bolivia, began
his studies at the School of Fine
Arts of the University there, where
he was later appointed professor of
SCULPTURE.

be that all those who visit the val

they will never forget.
One of the best vantage points is
the campfire circle at Curry. At 2
o'clock every night, when the last
rays of the sun no longer shine on
the mountain tops, when the walls
reflect only the sounds of cascading
waters and the whispering river,
the lights are turned out. And then
the Ranger at the camp cups his
hands to his mouth, raises his voice,
and calls to Glacier Point, a mile
overhead, Hello, Glacier!"
Family through the silence of the
night comes the answer, Hello,
Curry!"
Again the voice resounds from

Washington Pictorialist
Pictorial photographs of consid-
cradle beauty and a wide subject
range by Eleanor Parke Custis are
on view through April 80 in the
section of photography, Arts and
Industries Building, National Mu-
scum. Miss Custis, who Is native
as well as resident-of Washington,
had achieved an enviable reputation
as painter before she became in
terested in photography about 13
years ago. Her activities as a lee
turer for camera clubs now take her
out of Washington much of the time.
The current exhibition, compris-
ing so photographs, is a survey of
Miss Custis' career as photogra-
pher. 1t reveals her as romantic
who has selected subjects generally
picturesque or beautiful, and has
presented many of them in such a
way as to suggest moods. The effect
is heightened by her use of soft
focus lens. She travelled extensive
ly before the war, and these photo
graphs afford glimpses of many
lands. Most of them are straight
photographs, but few are made
from paper negatives.

 TO 10TH CENTURY

Adventure on a pulse pounding and suspense charged scale is promised film fans beginning Sun day when 20th Century Theatre presents Paramount's dramatic ac- tion picture, "O.S.S." co-starring Alan Ladd and Geraldine Fitz- gerald.
 "O.S.S." is the first dramatiza- ton of the governments colorful undercover intelligence organiza- Ition, known simply as the Office of Strategic Services, whence comes the abbreviated initials of the film title. The picture was made with the full approval and cooperation of the United States government, many of the hitherto secret fact ual records incorporated in the films script. Probably no other production ever had a staff of so many technical advisors, to insure accuracy of every exciting detail.
 In "OS.S" Ladd will be seen as a member of the secret operating team known as "Applejack." Ger aldine Fitzgerald is another. They together with two other men, DOT trayed by Richard Benedict and Don Beddoe, the dropped by para chute into France with instruc- tions to destroy a vital bridge in preparation for the D Day land ing.

 "O.S.S." is, according to all re- ports, packed with thrilling, au- thentic incidents, brilliantly en- acted by Ladd, Miss Fitzgerald and the other performers. including Patric Knowles in a featured role

 BILL AT CAPITOL

I Tabled in song and story, and revered in every American school boys history text, the Pony Ex- press stands as a symbol of one of the most glamorous eras in the American scene.
 ] Republic has drawn upon this era for the subject matter of its new extra-b -budgeted outdoor film, "Plainsman and the Lady, which is scheduled to open at the Capi- tol Sunday.
 [ The story is set in St. Joseph of the 1850s-a town of two per sonalities. Only a tenuous stretch of railroad track divides the gen. teel and decorous east side of the town from the roistering, rarcous west side.
 From the east side comes Ann AInesen, portrayed by Vera Rals- ton. Hers is the atmosphere ot the eastern finishing schools, the European spas. financed by her doting father, tycoon and empire builder portrayed by Reinhold | Schunzel.
 But from the west side comes riding dashing and virile Loch-
 invar out of tEe west, played by i William Elliott. With him rests
 the responsibility of seeing that the mails entrusted to the newly formulated Pony Express system, lget safely to their destination, un- hampered by fire and flood, hos
 tile Indians and the molesting ri- val stage lines.

That request from Grand Junction,
Colorado, for 9tgreen glass rum jug" re-

However, we had never heard of
using five-galion demijohn for that pur-
pose CThe writer, T. M. Metzger, of the
Grand Junction Daily Seminal in Colorado,
enormously spoke of the jug" as contain

were used in Key West Probably the ''15
gallons" was guess, because demijohn,
with it's wicker covering, looks bigger than
what it is. However that may be, it was
as much as man wished to tote in rum

decorated, and were novelties that for a
time. appealed to the housewives fancy.
Few of the demijohns We're carried
away from Key West when they contained
aguardiente. They were too large to sneak
aboard trains, bound for Miami. But Mi
amians, who wished to take booze back
with them on their return trip from Key
West, early learned that two jugs of
Bacardi, each containing a gallon, fitted
we'll into a suitcase. That type of carrying
rum to Miami became so popular at least
one store in Key West stocked up with
cheap suitcases that were sold to rum
toting gentry
1t has been long time since we have
seen demijohn. but probably some resi-
dent may be able TO supply the Coloradian
with one to be converted into lamp.
Anyway, that is a praiseworthy use of a
demijohn.

SINKING THE SHIPPING BUSINESS

Half a century ago. the Great Lakes
were filled with ships loading cargoes,
from Buffalo to Cleveland, Detroit. Chi
cago, Milwaukee and Duluth. Other great
fleets kept the waters churning on the
Mississippi River from the Twin Cities of
Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico.
The day the World War was over,
there were more than 5,400 ships in the
United States Merchant Marine. Today,
the Government is operating only ten
passenger ships in overseas service. All
this sad news about ships doesn't seem
to make sense. The chairman of the Mari
time Commission says the Government has
lost about $25 million in taking over man.
agement from private companies.
AS far as you care to follow the story,
it shows that the shipping business has
almost been entirely wiped out by rail
roads and airplanes.
On the other hand. motor travel is
tremendous, but it does not seem to cut
down passenger travel on railroad trains to
any extent.

EVERY CLOSE CALL"

A very close call' for American CAPT
talsm is predicted by Prof. Sumner H.
Slitchter, of Harvard University, who says
that il capitalism fails to survive, ''it will
be in large measure because we insist on
giving too much consideration to particular
producer groups and to little to the COM
mon interests of consumers
The professor asserted that the Amer
lean economy is organized to give pro-
lection to producers rather than to con.
sumers. He points out that the principal
superiority" of the socialistic economy is
that it reflects the interests of the con-
sumers rather than producers"
Professor Slichter makes it clear, how
ever. that while our economy is 1.-The most
capitalistic in the world" it has also de-
veloped highly socialistic economy,
with incomes socialized rather than prop
erty.' This, in his opinion, may prevent
socialism of capital. He calls attention to
the fact that since 1880, the share of in
come in this country going to property
has been stationary. while the share di-
vided among employees has steadily risen.

You know. it is time to start
an argument on "coddling." May
be we will discover if it is a good

years, with folks wanting houses

Proceed, says Henry. I will
start with labor. We patted the
