Today Marks Last Shovins
EOf Clifford Beal Works
This afternoon offers the last op-
portunity to see the intimate retro
spective of oils, water colors and
gouaches by Clifford Beal at the
Phillips Memorial Gallery. More
than 80 paintings, comparatively
small in size, and some of them
sketches rather than finished works,
afford glimpses of his wholesome and
happy Interpretation of life in many
subject categories.
His gay and charming garden
scenes are well represented by "Af-
ternoon, Rockport," and the little
evening Garden Party" Illuminated
~by japanese lanterns. Tight Rope
Walker" Circus Elephants" and
several others bring into the gallery
the circus with its pageantry and
sparkle. Picturesque street scenes
range from the colonial charm of
Newburyport to New Orleans French
quarter with its iron lace" and
italian fiestas, jeweled with lights.
The serene majesty of the Hudson
River and it's Palisades, the romance
of the Mississippi and the special
character of several other rivers, are
captured in small but toneful
gouaches. Several paintings Of horse
back riders in the park at different
seasons, have the feeling of fresh air
and spirited motion Finally, there
is a group of scenes from plays, with
the glamour of costumes and set
tings of earlier periods. Guy Pene
du Bois, a fellow artist, once termed
Clifford Beal a combination of Wins
low Homer and Watteau. The lat
| ter aspect is illustrated in these the
ater scenes. But the Homer side of
Mr.. Beal is conspicuously missing in
the present exhibition. This is re-
grettable, for some of his best and
most vigorous work has dealt with
the sea and fishermen.
Clifford Beal, a native of New York
City, where he still resides, is wholly
American in his education, both gen.
eral and art. Besides graduating
from Princeton, he attended the Art
Students League of New York and
studied with Chase and Ranger. He
has received many important awards
and is represented in many of the
country's leading museums, includ-
ing the Corcoran and Phillips Me-
mortal Galleries. He also painted
murals for the Interior Building
here.

 The reasons for this anticipated shortage of fats and oils are the depletion of reserve stocks from which to draw Gas was done a year ago) and the expected slump in animal slaughter and flaxseed crops. There is only one possible source from which we can hope to alleviate this deficit - from the kitchens of American homes.

Last week I spent a few days
 with my sister, Mary, who lives in
 a small town about hundred miles
 from me. While there, Mary gave
 a luncheon for me, and of course
 insisted on helping with prepara-
 tions. So she told me to fix the
 salads-individual ones that she
 wanted to look especially attrac- tive. She said that mine had always
 intrigued her with their fancy decorations. We'll, laughed, asked for her waxed paper, and gave her 3 practical demonstration of the easy way to decorate salads. took
 a sheet of waxed paper, rolled it into a cone and filled it with
 mayonnaise. Then I folded the top shut-tore a small opening at one end and squeezed out the mayon-, naise. It was as simple as that! As I covered each salad with a dainty scroll, Mary just looked on with amaZement . and when the guests exclaimed over the fancy salad decoration, she insisted that show them exactly how it was done!< q
 It's surprising how many uses we housewives find for waxed paper in our homes, isn't it? It's indispensable in the lunch box for keeping foods fresh and tasty keeps bread fresh and moist days longer and oh, could name a. hundred uses! But because so many have asked about salad decorating [ thought you'd like to try my method, too. Next time you're hav- ing guests in-uSe a waxed raner cone for squeezing mayonnaise |. 1 it's easy-saves time and dish { too!

ENJOYMENT

There is nothing sweeter, better Than the quiet of a nook Where the moon can cast it's
 shadow
 On the clear and trickling
 brook. Where the crickets do their
 chirping,
 Where the bull frogs croak
 with ease, In a cool and peaceful meadow Where we wander as we Where the air is filled with
 fragrance
 From the honey-suckle vines, And the only sighs about us Are the voices of the pines. It is then we like to nestle To the one that we hold
 dear, And walk the shady meadow In the blooming of the year.

BRITISH REQUEST NATIONS TO TELL ARMED NARROWER
First Step Toward Arms Reduction Urged 10
 Build Confidence

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 13.-iR Britain has proposed that the Unit ed Nations, in the first step toward implementing the year-old Soviet sponsored arms reduction proposal, should ask all member countries to report on the total manpower of their present armed forces.
 The British suggestion was put forward by Sir Alexander Cadogan for what he called an interim meas use to build up world confidence.
 Cadogan told the Commission for Conventional Armaments, meeting privately as a committee, that his government felt several major ob- stacles stood in the way of arms reduction at the present time, but that these would not prevent pre- liminary steps from being taken.

SANTA CRUZ, Calf, Sept. 13. -tR-Organized labor and Senator Taft CR-Ohio) exchanged bristling challenges last night in open poli- tical warfare marked by the boos of a picket line Taft skirted.
 The Ohio Senator, plumbing western sentiment on his possible candidacy for the 1948 Republi- can Presidential nomination, ran headon into virulent labor oppos- ton stemming from his espous- al of the Hartley bill.
 He met a formidable threat to the laws operation with an as sertion before the California State Bar convention that any labor leader who fails to sign an affi- davit that he is not a Commun- ist lis simply cutting off his nose to spite his face"
 Taft told the bar convention that the portion of the bill in question is designed to rid unions of Communist infiltration" which he called "a real threat to the United States i.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. - lR- Senator Ives tR.-NY) said today that unless wild speculation in grains" and other foods is curbed Congress will be forced to take some action
 Ives told reporter that he fears continued increases in all prices and living costs might cause the bottom to drop out as it did in 1929 and f920-2I.'
 We do not have all the fea- lures of a general depression as yet the Senator said, adding that lie hopes business, the public and the government can find a solution to the price problem.
 He said his criticism was not aimed at legitimate trading but at people who have gone into the market to try and make a killing. '"
 At present the Federal govern ment has no authority to control market requirements but Ives said some way must be found to put a damper on wild speculation.
