The rhythmic dancing is important for girls and women because of its nossibilities for training in grace and the teuching of good musie and art. The best women's colleges of the country have rhythmic dancing and many privale studios here teach it. Through the community center rhyth- mic dancing classes girls and women can get this training near at home for 25 cents a lesson that would cost $1 or more in a studio, thereby saving both time and money. Classes are held in the Wilson Nor- mal, Thomson, East Washington. Park View, Johngon-Powell and other cen- ters. The Johnson-Psweil center will give a recital and demonstration of work the first term of the rhythmic and axpression classes on Friday, Janu- ary 26, 8 pm Under the leadership of the director. Miss Florence J. Fenton, the rhyth- mio dancing class will give an in- terpretation of Becthoven's “Minuet. Herbert's “Petite Valse” and an e semble dance. The following will take ‘the principal parts: Christine Groncke, Edith Davis, Elizabeth Lom- bard., Alice Hunter. Patty Joyce &nd others.

The model zirway route which has been established has proved so prac- tical that nearly every officer who has attempted to follow it has found | it satisfactory, and made the flights between the various landing stations in record time. The latest officer to return after covering the route is Capt. St. Clair Street, who completed the route Thursday morning. He left Bolling Field Monday morning about 10:30 o'clock, and, having a strong west wind to fight against, was longer than some officersicovering the model airway in previous flights. It took him five hours to make the trip to Cleveland. He remained in Cleveland overnight and left Tuesday morning for Selfridge, Field, Mich.. which is near the city of Detroit. He did not remain there long, but continued his flight to Fort Wagne, Ind., arriving at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. From Fort Wayne Capt. Street flow - to Chanute Field, Rantoul, Ill. Here he remained till' Wednesday morning. when he started the flight which landed him at McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio. Staying at McCook Field until Thursday morning, he then returned directly to Washington. landing at Bolling Field ‘about 12:30 a.m. This trip was made in strict accordance witht the plans of the model airway, and added proof of the practical ap- It is the intention of the officers of Boll- Field cach to make this flight model airway. week. Owing to the epidemic of grip among the officers at present, however, 1t is not yet decided as to who will make the trip this week. Recent experiments conducted at MgCook Field with beacons for as- sisting night-flying pilots in locating course and airdrome have resulted in the determination that with the one beacon so erected, fifty feet from the ground and revolving like a searchlight, courses can be seen and picked up from twenty to forty miles away. It Is hoped that further ex- perimentation and development will soon result in the establishment of a night-fiying schedule over the model airway in addition to the day- time schedule now being maintained. A brief summary of the cross- country flying activities at this sta- tion for the week is as follows: Saturday, the 13th, Maj. Richards flew to Mitchel Field on official busi- ness, returning the next Monday, taking an enlisted mechanic as pas- senger. Later on the same day Maj. Brandt also left for Mitchel Field and returned by rail. Bol! Field Capt. Ocker of & WITH 23—Plano | one oflicer | brought Maj. Brandt's ship back last Wednesday, having gone up as pas- senger with Lieut. Meredith from Sélfridge Field on' his airway trip on Tuesday. Lieut. Blssel left for Langley Field late in the afternoon on Saturday and returned on Mon- day, the 15th. 3 Last Tuesday Lieit. Maitland, with Sergt. Hooe as a mechanic, left this station for Cumberland, Md., to at- tend a meeting of the chamber of commerce of that city relative to the establishment of a municipal land- ling fleld there. He returned that night. | Lieut. .Harper, with Mr. Radcliffe, left Tuesday for Langley Field on| business in connection with sales of surplus air service property, return- ! ing the same diy. Lieut. Harmon | left for Philadelphia late in the after- noon and returned on Thursday. Licut. ~Meredith, as above stated, came from Selfridge on a regular air- way trip and took Capt. Ocker on us a_passenger for his trip to Mitchel ! Field. On Wednesday Lieuts. Ramey and Smith left this station with two en- ‘listed photographers and flew to Aberdeen proving grounds to photo- {graph experiments. being conducted there by the chemical warfare serv- ice. They returned the same day with many excellent photographs of i the expertments, which have been de- livered to the officials in charge. Maj. Brown and Lieut. Willis, in the same ship, also flew to Aberdeen and returned. Lieut. Bissel left for Langley Field and returned on Thurs- day Carrying out model airway. Lieut. n | through from McCook Field via AMoundsville. departed for Langley and returned from there late in the afternoon. Capt. Pasquale came through from Fairfield on a regular airway trip and left early in the afternoon for Mitchell Field. He had a forced land- ing on the way here at Kingswood, W. Va. due to a snowstorm. Lieut. Meredith returned from Mitchell Field en route to Selfridge Field The Owl (the largest airplane now in the air service) departed for its home station at Aberdeen and arrived there safely. Lieut, George. in a Martin Bomber. took off at the same time at Aberdeen the schedule of the Carroll came and (was forced to land near Balti- moré, due to motor trouble. Repairs are now being made on this moter by personnel from this station, On Thursday Lieut. Carroll left for McCook Field, completing the last lap of his airway trip. ; Lieut. Cummins arrivéd from Cha- nute Field en route to Langley on the alrway schedule. He arrived at Langley safely the -same afternoon. Capt. Pasquale returned from Mitchell Field en route to Fairfield and left Friday noon. Friday Lieut. Arthur arrived from Langley Field en route to Chanute Field on the model airway schedule. A test of outstanding Importance was conducted at the naval air sta- tion yesterday, according to report of Lieut. W. D. Thomas. Mr. Weaver of the Army chemical warfare serv- ice, Edgewood, Md., brought to the station a quantity of titaniumtetrach- loride gas. The purpose of this gas is fqr eignalling from the air. It is discharged from a tank through the exhaust pipes when under pressure. The heat of the exhaust pipes causes the gas to form a smoke. The test of the gas proved considerably more than was expected. Other operations during the week were of routine nature. The flying was hampered to quite an_ extent due to inclement weather and repair work to operating planes. How the Army air service operates and some of the results it is ob- taining were told and shown to mem- bers of the National Geographic So- ciety by Brig. Gen. Willlam Mitchell Friday afternoon and evening in. an illustrated lecture at Masonic Temple Auditorium. z Gen. Mitchell is assistant chief of the service and commanded all Army air units in France during the world war. Since the war he has kept up his active filying work. Recently he completed an_ airplane swing around | the United States covering several thousand miles. He holds the world speed record over a one-kilometer course. In 1921 he played an im portant part in _the bombing opera tions \off the Virginia capes. from which' data were obtained altering the design of battleships. Aerial photographs and motion pic- tures illustrated the general's le ture. D. A. R. ACTIVITIES Margaret Whetten Shapter, D. R..

L "tPUe ;u;gsbeen born in the -Quaker city in 76. the year the centennial was held. He studied first at the Drexel Institute and then in the Pennsyl- vania Academy of the Fine Arts, under Anshutz and Thouron. In 1899 he was lucky enough to be awarded & traveling scholarship for study In Europe. Going first to Paris, he en- tered the Academie Carmen and came in contact with Whistler. Before many months passed Mr. Addams had come coinpletely under Whistler's in- fluence and apprenticed himself to bhim for a period of five vears, work ing with him and under him until Whistler's death in 1903, But Mr. Addams. no matter how much he may have been influenced by his master, was and is by no means a weak echo. Oceasionally in his paintings and in his etchings one sees a reminiscent note of Whistler, but ils occurrence is not frequent, He has a message of his own. From 1905 until 1914 he !continued to reside in England, mak- ing only occasional visits to Amer- ica. After the outbreak of the world war he enlisted in the British navy and served with the grand fleet five vears, until 1919. The following vear he returned to the United States and took up his residence in New York Since then he has exhibited quite con- stantly with the painters and the etchers, and he is represented by hi work in the permanent collections of the Pennsyivania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Art I Chicago. In 1915 he was awarded a Lronze medal at the Panama-Pacific exposition, and th year the gold medal of the Art Club of Philadelphia has come to him. There is an extraordinary variety in the rendition of the etchings now on vie in the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Scarcely two are In the same manner or mood. For the most part they are of architectural subjects— buildings, streets—but one or two are of figures, and one has as its theme a crowded ballroom. One of the most attractive is a view of Westminster Abbey and the houses of parliament as seen from across the Thames. An- other peculiarly attractive is of one of the London music halls. There are glimpses of London and Pariz slums and there are pictures of Venetian palaces—not Whistler's Venice, but a Venice which Mr. Addams has discov- ered for himself. Not infrequently he has introduced a figure in the fore- | i | ! | historian, read two papers on “The Larly Settlement of the West,” and “The Old Trails Roads.” Mrs’ R. S.

AN interesting loan—a baby's head 4} cast mot_in bronze, but in ar- morer's metal—has recently been made to the Corcoran Gallery of Art by its present owner, V. V. Parma. It is the work of Germaine Pilon. a French sculptor, born in 1515, dled in 1590, and the original in marble is one of the most prized possessions of the Louvre. Germaine’s son was an armorer, and probably this little head was cast by him. It is cer- tainly ~ of “this substance, which, though widely used in the sixteenth century, cannot be reproduced today, the secret of its alloy being lost. The appearance-ls, to & great extent, that of a reddish bronze, though 'upon close inspection the abserver will note a difference in the matter of surface and quality of texture, and yet it has been marvelously used to Inter- | pret _exquisite subtiety of line and expresilon. The softness of the baby’s flesh, the delicacy of the lines of,the | face, the infantile curves of the neck, are all beautlfully transcribed, and the little sixteenth century baby lives today as then—three hundred years now past. Tt is a great work of art. a treasure, which has survived, it would seem, {not because of careful preservation, but rather on account of the inde- structible material in which it is wrought. It was carried from coun- try to country among spoils of war and passed from owner to owner, not through the medium of the auction {room, but in payment of debt or as |an expression of gratitude for favors |received.
