Notes of Art and Artists WO interesting exhibitions will open In the Corcoran Gallery of Art this week. One will consist of water colors by Marlus Hubert-Robert; the_ other of Japanese prints. Mr. Hubert-Robert is a French art- ist ot’considerable distinction, a de- scendent of the famous landscape palnter of the elghteenth century of the same name. Twice exhibitions of his work have been held in the Lux- embourg, in Paris, at the invitation of the French government. He has cxhibited in all the leading cities of France and also in London, and he has most recently hel® an exhibition in New York. The subjects that he has chosen in most instances for in- terpretation are garden and castles, of France and many of his themese havo been found in that region which suf- fered most during the great war. He 1s not, in the accepted sense of the term, a modernist, but rather one who fs helping.to preserve and hand down the noble traditions of French art, which has as its dominant char- acteristic the element of beauty. Mr. Hubert-Robert's water colors will be shown in the modern bronze room in the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and will be placed on view on Wed- nesday. The exhibition in this city will be under the suspices of the French embassy, but there will not be a tormal opening. * ¥ %k X F"HB ocollection of Japanese prints which is to be shown in the Cor- coran Gallery s the property of a local collector and will be found rep- resentative of the best of the famous printmakers of Japan. It embraces approximately sixty prints, half of which are framed, the other half merely matted. The former will be shown In one of the smaller galleries and the latter in the cases in the atrium, whereln at the present time water colors and drawings by Howard Giles are on view. This exhibition will open the latter part of the week. > * ¥ k¥ FHE Soclety of Washington Artists i% will open its thirty-third annual exhibition in tho hemicycle gallery of the Corcoran Gallery of Art on Satur- day, February 3, and continue it to February 25. This organization has done much to encourage and continue the develop- ment of art in Washington. The ex- hibitions which it has held yearly have been upheld to a high standard and have attracted wide and well merited attention. Those who have long lived In this city will remembef when the society held its exhibitions in the assembly room of the Cosmos Club, ter at a gallery of its own on Connecticut avenue and finally, when the new Corcoran Gallery built, n Its great hemicycle hall. Tt was in t the success of this soclety's ex- hibitions under the presidency of the late Richard N. Brooke which led to the Institution by the trustees of the Corcoran Gallery of Art of the great biennial exhibitions of paintings by cotemporary American artists which have come to take their place among the leading exhibitions of the country. Two prizes are oftered in this ex- hibition, & silver and a bronze medal. The president of the society is Wil- liam H. Holmes, director of the Na- tional Gallery of Art; the secretary 18 Herbert F. Clark. * ok K ,HE collection of water colors by I Col. Donne of England, which has bheen on w for the past three weeks in the Corcoran Gallery of Art, has met with exceptional succe: am)ro}x- imately twenty of the pictures dis- played being purchased, a fact which goes to show that the public is ready to support an exhibition of this char- acter and eager to acquire paintings which possess artistic merit and pic- torial charm Col. Donne's water colors are of a cort which make extraordinary ap- peal. He chooses his subjects wisely and he presents them with skill and charm. There are many lovely sights 10 be seen in Switzerland, in the Ital- jan lake country and on the Riviera and it is these which he has tran- soribed with faithfulness and sympa~ thy. No wonder his plctures have found admirers and that so many are going Into Washington homes. * k kK DISTINGUISHED honor has been A won by & Washington girl. Miss Marion Olds, the daughter of Mr. and AMrs. Bdson B. Olds, who for the past thres years has been studying interlor decoration in the New ¥ork School of Fino and Applied Art, has been award- ed, because of the exceptional merit of her work, a scholarship in the American School in Paris, and will sall for France some time next month. The New York School of Fine and Appled Art has as its president Frank Alvah Parsons, well known &s a writer and lecturer, as well as teacher. Through his initiative, and under his direction, branch schools have been es- tablished in Parls, and more lately in London. The Paris school has attracted favorable attention emong French art Jovers and artists, and has the indorse- ment of the foremost French authori- tles It affords students the opportu- nity of studying the French decorative arts of the renalssance at first hand and to its scholarship holders many ex- ceptional privileges are open. Miss Olds won the much-coveted acholarship as a member of a class of ihirty, all of whom wero competitors. * X X ¥ FORGE JULIAN ZOLNAY, who for G some months has had a studio in Rome completing & war memorial for Nashville, Tenn., and doing other im- portant work, s soon to return. to Washington, to execute a series of medallions of the Presidents of the United States, which will adorn the main lobby of the new Hotel President, now being erected on New Jersey ave- nue near the House office bullding. Basides this series of medallions, Mr. Zolnay has been commissioned to exe- cate & bust of President Harding, to be placed in the foyer of the same hotel. * k k k¥ J{H Metropolitan Museum of Art T 1s holding an interesting exhl- bition, showing not only the relation of art to industry, but also the use of & museum of art as & laboratory of design. This exhibition consists of ourrent work by manufacturers and designers, based upon study of the museum coltections, and produced within the last twelve months. It is the seventh year that such an exhi- hition has been set forth in this great metropolitan museum, and, as the foreword of the catalogue (r‘uly says, it is a proof Shat in_the trades the museum Is & partper in progres: The objeots and designs brought to- gether were made for the commercial market, to which théy will be re- turned when they have left the gal- lery. They owe their conception, the method of execution, thelr color or contour, their detall, finish, or some other characteristic of design to the study of the collections and the use of the educational facilities which the museum affords. In every in- stance the name of the maker or manufacturer is given and also the source of design. In some instances| the exhibit is an exact copy. This is not forbidden, but more often it is an interpretation, inspired, mot infre- quently, by a work in an entirely dif- ferent medium. An Bgyptlan design may be interpreted in a plece of pot- tery, a plece of jewelry or a printed fabric. A great varlety of manufactures are shown—rugs, tapestrfes, woven and printed piece goods, lace, wall paper, metal work of many kinds, mosaic and stained glass, lighting fixtures, leather work, embroidery, jewelry, silversmithing, glass work, furni ture, enamels, costumes, ceramics, even advertlsing deslgns and, com- merclal containers. It is really an imposing and beautiful showing, full of color and well rewarding not only exam!ination, but study. Surely such an exhibition as this goes to dispro: Forecasts Rainfall By New Method. I:ORECASTL\'G the rainfall for the coming winter and spring from the past summer's ocean tempera- tures, Dr. George F. McEwen has pre- dicted that the southern California coastal region will receive about one- half inch less than its average rain- fall during the season 1922-23, accord- ing to a Science Service'item. He sug- gested the possibility of applying the same system to predictions over more extensive areas. Dr. McEwen Iis neither a goose-bone prophet nor a crystal gazer, but the oceanographer connected with the Scripps’ Institution for Blological Research. He bases his system of forecasts on carefully worked out observations during the last eix years. These observations show that when the ocean temperature averages cold- er than usual the rainfall is heavier than utual, and when the summer seas are warmer than the average the subsequent rainfall is smaller than the average rainfall. A fall of one de- gree in temperature corresponds on | the average to an increase of about two inches in the rainfall. Rainfall in the southern California coastal region depends mainly ‘upon | the flow of the moisture-laden air from the Pacific, and is proportional to the amount of the air transferred. This, In turn, depends on the forma- tion of a belt of high air pressure over the continent, he explalns. In summer the barometric pressure is | Breater over the ocean than the land for two reasons. The wind veloclty over the smooth water surface aver- ages two or three times as great as that over the relatively uneven land, and In summer the air flows from the land. But as the season advances to winter, air flows over the land from the Pacific ocean to the North Ameri- can continent. Enough pressure measuremants over the north Pacific on which to base predictions being unavallable, Dr. McEwen used the known relation be- tween pressures and surface ocean temperatures. The velocity of the winds, which move clockwise over the Paclfic, depends on the alr pressure and the upwelling of cold bottom wa- ter along the coast, and therefore the rate of cooling of the surface water is proportional to the wind velocity. The lower the ocean temperature at or near the surface during the late sum- mer and autumn, he declares, the greater must be the intensity of the ocean beit of high air pressure, and accordingly the greater will be the expected seasonal rainfall over the coastal Tegion of southern California. o ! 'THE SUNDAY STAR, the supposition that art §s merely s luxury and that it has mo part in everyday life. i * x ¥ % A FINE series of Bargent portraits has recently come to the British nation by the death of Mrs. Asher Werthelmer. There are nine in all, painted between the years 1898 and 1904, when Sargent was at his best. All are members of the Wertheimer family, and include the well known full length portrait of Mr. Wert- heimer, dated 1898, and the companion portrait of Mrs. Werthelmer in & black dress, the latter a painting full of quiet beauty and charm. * ¥ ¥ ¥ (CLAGGETT WILSON, formerly of Washington, is holding an ex- hibition of paintings made last year in Portugal and the Basque country of northern €pain., Unlike Mr. Wil- son’s previous exhibitions, these paint- | ings are In ofl and are said to be in a somewhat different mood from his former work. * k% ¥ HE division of graphic arts of the Smithsonlan Institution is setting [forth this winter a series of exhibl- tions of prints. The first of these was the traveling exhibition, assembled and sént out by the Brooklyn Soclety of Etchers, which is still oniview and well worth seeing. This is to be fol- owed February 1 by the traveling ex- hibition of the California Printmakers, which each year holds in Los Angeles an international exhibition of prints by the leading printmakers, not only of the United States and Canada, but of Europe and the east, a very notable 1spl LEILA MECHLIN. Farm By-Products. THE packers claim to make most of thelr profits out of the by-prod- ucts, sources of income which were utterly ignored not many years ago. A good many farmers may be skepti- cal of this claim in its entirety, but no one doubts that the packers turn i by-products to good accounts. It is Interesting to note the great progress farmers have made in a similar direc- tion. Not so long ago straw stacks were counted valueless, and were every- where burned. Now progressive farm- ers spread the straw and find it a valuable fertilizer, and while burning is still much too often Practiced, It s a dying custom. In some sections of western Canada the government has forbidden the burning of straw stacks. Corn stover has a fluctuating value trom year to year, varying with the supply of other roughage and live stock conditions, but its feeding value is definitely known, and for some years past the tendency has been to- ward wider use of the stalks. Cotton seed, valuable both as a feed and a fertilizer, was formerly thrown away. It is now a by-product of tre- mendous importance, not alone to the cotton industry, but to innumerable cattle feeders. Far west cattle feeders would find it difficult to dispense with ensiled beet tops, nutritious by-products of beet growing for the sugar factories. Hardly a year passes but some waste product Is not utflized in a large way for the first time. One of the most novel high-protein chicken feeds is the rinds and waste cuttings of Wisconsin cheese pressed into large bricks. It i{s marketed on a commercial scale. Cattle and sheep feeders in the pinto bean country, which now takes in practically all of New Mexico and Colorado and grow- ing areas in Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas, are fast making bean straw a standard article. Bean and bean straw will become an important feed. It is used as the sole roughage with satisfactory results, but a better pian, so they say who have used it, is to feed it with ensilage, when its value is close to that of alfalfa. And no one has forgotten that sweet clover, now a valuable legume, was formerly a weed—and still s one to many farmers. ‘When one considers the many by- product feeds used by dairymen— low-grade molasses, beet pulp, brew- ers’ grains and a dozen others—it is hard to see how the agricultural in- dustry could get along without them.
