1T is our belief that there is
a place for one area show in
Washington of a high caliber,
but Of some type of realism. A
jury panel Of non-residents
will make the selection with
one object in mind: To have
a show of distinction. We also
feel that the space allocated
for this exhibition should limit
1t to not over $50 pictures.
Shows in the past have been
too large and contained too
many paintings of low caliber."

rather than vertically may
make q big difference In the
result. Again, the choice 10
yours If YOU are doing the
work.
Costs are important to all Of
us these days. BY processing
your films and making your
own prints you will achieve
considerable savings that you
can pillow back into your hobby.
The cost Of processing
equipment for roll films is very
small and the price of pack
aged chemicals is negligible.
A contact printer or print
ing frame is within reach Of
the thinnest pocketbook and
printing paper can be pur-
chased in bulk to bring the
cost of an individual print to
the barest minimum.
The savings obtained by
making your own enlarge
ments will quickly pay for an
enlarger If you have more than
a casual interest in photog-
raphy.
Home processing is profit
able in more ways than one.
Once you have cut the costs
of processing to that of the
actual materials involved you
will be in a better position to
enter and win cash and other
awards in Photographic con-
tests and salons.
No special talent is needed
either to process films or make
prints. The entire procedure
has been so simplified and
streamlined by the photo in
dustry that any one can per-
form a creditable job.
Dark Room Is No Mystery
No elaborate darkroom ia
cility is needed either. All you
require is a closet or room
where the film can be placed
In It's tank in complete dark
ness.
The rest of the operation is
then carried out with the lights
turned on. The chemicals are
mixed with water, poured into
the tank through a lght-proof
opening, left for a specified
number of minutes, then
drained off and replaced by
another solution. After fix
ing, the film is washed under
tap water and is ready for dry
ing. In just q few short min
utes from the start you will be
able to inspect your negatives
and proceed with making the
prints.
In another article we will go
into detail about how to equip
a somewhat more elaborate
layout for those who may be
interested in establishing q
dark room in house or apart
ment.

Dows' Latest
Olin Dows, who lived in
Washington during the 1930s
and early '40s and is well
known to many Washingtoni-
ans, returned with Mrs. Dows
for the private opening last
evening by John Russell Ma
son, curator of art of George
Washington University. of a
large exhibition of Dows' re-
cent water colors at the uni
versity library. 2023 G street
NV. It is open to the public
today through the end of Oc-
tober.
Mr.. Dows Is q romantic
realist, whose work is tech
nically admirable and pic
torially appealing. The water
colors are done in both clear
and opaque washes, fortified
with an occasional pen line.
There is nothing blatant or
aSsertive about these paint
ings. the color is muted, Great
ing a feeling of serenity.
During the past three years,
which these 40 watercolorS
cover, Mr.. Dows has travelled
in Europe, and has also not
neglected the beautiful Hudson
River Valley around Rhine
beck, N. Y, where he lives in
the old home of his grandpar-
entS. Twelve of the 40 paint
ings depict the rolling country,
gracious homes and farm
buildings, woods and bridges,
corn shucks and wheat sheaveS.
High in Quolity
Nearly 80 paintings have
captured the beauty and pic
turesqueness of Switzerland,
Taormina, Sicily and Vence,
Alpes Maritimes, France. The
level of quality in these works
is so even that whether the
visitor prefers a painting of
narrow streets with tall old
houses, mountains and valleys
with Towering fruit trees, or
panoramic views, will be a
matter of personal preference.
Olin Dows determined at
the tender age of IL, to be a
painter. He took lessons from
c. K. Chatterton, attended
st. Marks School and Har-
ward College, the Mass. Insti-
tute of Technology. and Yale
School Of Fine Arts. Here in
Washington he assisted Ed
ward Bruce in the admins
tration of the Federal Art
Project; enlisted in the Army
early in 1912, and was one
of three war artists sent to
the European theater. Resum-
ing his life at Rhinebeck after
the war, Mr.. DowS spent two
years writing and illustrating

Swords Of Americans
In Corcoron Exhibition
By Florence S. Berrymon

SYou should habe seen him
as he stood,
Fighting for his good land,
With all the iron OF soul and
blood
Turned to a stDord IN
hand"
The Sword in America,
l000-1954." unique exhibition
just opened at the Corcoran
Gallery of Art last evening,
and open to the public today,
to remain until the week be-
fore Christmas, has several
hundred swords and sabers
which belonged to Americans
of many centuries. from Miles
Standish and the Pilgrims, to
Gen. Eisenhower, all of whom
have fought, and many died,
for this good land. Along
with the swords, there are
original oil paintings, water
colors, drawings, engravings,
many hand-colored, and other
prints, and original detailed
sketches of swords, all accom-
panied by excellent descriptive
labels.
Very few laymen think Of
the sword as a work of art:
, but visitors to this show will
see many superb examples by
American and European crafts
men. Swordmaking requires
q variety of crafts-forging the
blade, chasing, engraving,
gliding and damascening and
working in enamel and niello.
Many Of these swords have
eagle-head. and other bird
and animal-head pommels. in
silver and other metals,
mother-of-pearl and ivory.
Some have diamond-studded
and solid gold hilts.

Process Your Own Film?
Sure You Con-It'sFun
By Alexander J. Wedderburn
rotor of Photography, the Smithsonian Instltutiov

Most people miss half the
fun in photography. Swapping
the pictures with the camera
Is only the beginning. The real
satisfaction comes with proc
essing the films and making
your own prints. There are
many reasons why you should
follow through from exposure
to final print.
It used to be that negative
and print processing was a
essy and fingerstaining
chore, reserved for those at
least semiskilled in the knowl-
edge of chemistry. Not so to-
day. Now you can walk into
a camera shop and come out
with a packet of ready-mixed
chemicals that need only the
addition of a specified amount
of water to be ready to go to
work for you.
Instead Of an imposing array
of TASKS, graduates and other
tools of the chemist, the mod
ern roll-fllm camera fan needs
only a daylight processing
tank or a couple Of trays, plus
a few other items we will men
ton in a succeeding article.
The packaged chemicals are
dissolved quickly in water and
the mixture is poured into the
little tank holding the film
and then it is only q matter
of minutes before the mega
tives are ready for your inspec-
tion.
Saves Two Trips and Time
There are other reasons for
doing your own processing. For
example, you are saved two
trips-one to take in your roll
of film and the second to pick
up your negatives and prints.
Then. too. you get to see your
pictures without the usual
wait that comes with CONNER
cial processing.
The individual attention you
can give to your work will show
up in negatives and prints. For
instance, if you know your
films were over-exposed or un-
der exposed you wilLbe able to
salvage them by special treat
ment during development.
The same applies to print
making. A stranger will have
no way Of knowing exactly what
you intend to show in a print
so his only recourse is to print
everything that shows in the
negative. You, on the other
hand, can make all sorts of
changes in the composition of
any negative while making the
print. You will also be in a po-
sition to give each print an ex-
posure best suited to the mega
tive and choose your paper &C
cording to negative contrast.
Color, Style. Dimension Choices
Certain pictures, as we
know. will look better on one
color or style paper than on
another. Or. special toning OF

Brings Order Out Of Chaos
The contents Of the cata-

60 years. Pages II to 374 are
devoted to listing all identi-
fed types of stamped en-
velopes; pages 374 to 514 to
illustrations and descriptions
of all die types. specimen
forms, printed franks and adj
vertising collars; page SIS to
