The decisive match of the Dis

last Wednesday evening when the
washington Chess Divan main
tained its unbroken record of vic
tories and eliminated it's only
competitor for first place. by de-
feating the Federal Chess Club,

tested: the Federals scored a plus
on the first four, and broke even
on the first eight. but were
swamped on the lower boards, 90.

bile had not been invented and
the number of horse drawn We
hicles had continued to increase
in proportion to the demand for
their use, the chances are that
traffic conditions would be far
worse today than they actually
are.
Very seldom does an automobile
run away and when it does it's
the drivers fault. But in bygone
days it was old Dobbin who was to
blame when he picked up his ears
and raced down the street with
the vehicle stringing behind. AS
recently as 1896 a horse owned by
Charles C. Wilkinson, while on
one of his runaway flights, ran
through the back door of an Ave-
nue. cable car and out of the front
door. carrying a broken seat with
him. But he was so badly in
jured he had to be shot.
Runowoy FotoIity
Runaways were of daily, and
not infrequently of hourly, occur
renee in the early days and some
times they ended tragically. as did
the accident that resulted in the
death of Mrs. Pendleton, the
daughter of Francis Scott Key,
who was killed in a runaway that
occurred in New York City on May
20, 1885.
On another occasion, when
Mrs. Lincoln was making a tour
of the Civil War hospitals she
was thrown from her carriage,
though not seriously injured. But
Secretary William H. Seward,
whom Payne tried to kill at the
time President Lincoln was as
sassinated, did not fare so we'll
as will be seen from an old item
which tells the following story:
"At about 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon Secretary Seward left
the State Department in his car
riage. and passed up Pennsyl-
vania avenue to Fifteen-and-a-
half street to his residence, where
his son, Mr.. F. w. Seward, and
wife and Miss Titus got in. While
the driver was in the act of clos
ing the door with his right hand
and holding onto the reins with
his left hand, the horses started,
the driver following them, still
holding on and endeavoring to
close the door. Mr.. F. w. Seward,
seeing the danger, jumped from
the carriage with the hope of
heading the horses and stopping
them. They, however, got away
from him and the driver, and
when they reached the corner of
Vermont avenue and H street,
Secretary Seward jumped from
his carriage, falling on his right
arm and breaking it just below
the shoulder and bruising his face.
He was taken up in an insensible
condition by several gentlemen
and carried to his residence.
Doctors Son Killed
Surgeons Abbott, United States
Army. and Verdi were called in
and set the broken limb, after
which the Secretary felt much
easier, having by that time fully
recovered his reason. The ladies
remained in the carriage until it
arrived at the stable, where a
party Of soldiers caught the
horses. The driver was somewhat
bruised.
"The sympathy for the Secre-
tary is general, and in the course
Of the evening the heads of the
departments and other officers of
the Government and members of
the diplomatic corps and many
citizens called in person to make
inquiries as to his condition"
An old-timer, writing in 1892,
tells Of the accidental killing of a
prominent young man named
Gunton. He says: "Dr. William
Gunton was the only apothecary
in town who dispensed soda

Expressive and Esoterie
Honors for William H. Calfee
are steadily increasing. He was
one of the first four Washington
artists given simultaneous one
man shows at the Corcoran GAL
lery of Art in the summer of 1948.
He had his first one-man show
in New York City at the Weyhe
Gallery last December. A larger
one-man show has just opened at
the Baltimore Museum of Art,
to remain through April 81.
In addition to producing a sur
prising volume of painting in oil
and tempera, and sculpture, he
continues to head the art depart
ment of American University. A
native Washingtonian, he began
to study painting at the Phillips
Gallery. subsequently attended
the Ecole des Beaux Arts in
Paris. returned home to study
architecture in relation to sculp-
ture at Catholic University, and
in the mid-30s studied with the
noted Swedish sculptor, Carl
Miles, at the Cranbrook Acad-
emy in Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
Mr.. Calfee's present show in
Baltimore comprises 20 paintings
in oil and tempera and a charcoal
drawing. only a third of the group
having been in the New York ex-
hibition. The show is a five
year Retrospective, with concen-
tration on last year I'll paint
ings) and one of this year.
Increasingly abstract, with en-
phas1s, on expressive form, subtle
color and texture, Mr.. Calfee's
paintings nevertheless retain a
strong connection with subjects,

Theatre, 8 West Read street, Bal

large, reveal vivid imagination

binations.
The artist. in private life Mrs.
Nell H. Swanson. wife of the ex-
editor of the Sun, also
author OF "The Unconquered," !"
The Perilous Fight" and other
books, has herself a strong literary
bias. The largest and most ambi-
tious paintings in her exhibition
were inspired by poems and other
works of Edgar Allan Poe "The
Bells" ebest of her interpretations
The Raven" "Ulalume" and seve-
raj others. They are surrealistic,
IN treatment. It seemed to me
however, that several smaller
paintings in the show, with less
literary and illustrative emphasis
suggest a path for Mrs. Swanson s
further exploration. These are
Caprice" and wild Horse" and
abstract designs Christmas" and
Television."
Mrs. Swanson was born in Mat
news County, Virginia. She
sketched industriously as a child
But the real impetus to her paint
ing came from Professor ]. p
Wharton Of the University of
Maryland art faculty, under whom
she studied for one season.
This exhibition will remain
through March "a. and is open to
the public II to l and 2 to 4 Mon
DAYS through Fridays. During the
coming week the exhibition will
also be open 1880 to $3.50 every
evening.

Bx WINFTELD S. KING

Mr.. and Mrs. Burton w. James,
directors of the well-known and
much-loved Seattle Repertory Play
house, are this week celebrating
their 35 years in the American
theatre. To mark the occasion an
on-stage party is to be given on
Thursday, following the opening
of the play, Born Yesterday" by
Carson Kanin.
Burton and Florence James are
we'll known to Seattle, for in their
% years with the S. r. P. they have
played to thousands of people, and
have presented countless plays
of distinction. Many remember with
pleasure those famous productions
"Stevedore," and "Abraham's b.
son. which ran in 1884, and had
in the cast such talent as Joe
Station, Sarah Oliver, the late Leo
Fletcher, Alberta Walker, and
many others.
Mr.. James made a remarkable
statement when he told this re-
porter, What is important about
the Repertory, and what it will
be remembered for, Is that it is a
place of opportunity for all lovers
of the theatre, barring none" The
years have proved this statement
to be a practised policy.

BettY's Saturday Mite

Went up to KOL radio station
last Saturday night to pick up on
my boys radio show. It's called
Major and Bill" The set-up Is
real nice and their gift of CAB is
terrific The future looks pretty
bright for these two. The station
is pretty flexible Il don't mean
flexible, literally; I mean the
boys get a nice deal. The announc-
ers are helpful to them and show
them the ropes that count. =. BY
the way, before forget, their
program starts 1890 to 11:00
every Saturday night. The Man
nequins have donated tricycle. to
a small boy in need of an interest
in life. He's in a foster home and
there are two other children with
tricycles, or I should say they
have a tricycle. between them. The
cause seemed a good one and the
Mannequins felt they should help
any needy family or any needy
cause at all. =. Casey Thompson,
one of our greater opponents of
terpsichory (tap artist to YOU'D, is
in town for an indefinite stay. He's
been on tour for the last few
months through the Middle West.
His last appearance in Seattle
was at the Palomar when the
Hoosier Hot Shots were billed
there. Cecil Young, another one
of the entertainers around town, is
here pickering for a deal at one
of our top hotels. He Is one of the
finest comic comedians and also a
dancer, we have. Cecil, I forgot
to say, plays mean piano. Move
over, Garner. Yeah, he's gone to
Canada again. Il believe hair
tonics are cheaper in Vancouver,
maybe. :. f. There is still talk going
around about the Esquire dance.
The best dressed female there, ac-
cording to the bouquets being
tossed about, was Mrs. Zenobia
Williams. She is the well known
president of the newly formed
Mannequin Club. And she must
have deserved the credit she got
because everyone in town liked her
outfit. :. Most of the regulars in
town are looking forward to the
lineup coming in town. The Delta
Rhythm Boys, Kay Starr, Ink
