SCULPTRESS MAKES STATUE OF VIRGIN Work of Mrs. Totten Will Be Placed in Church of Im- maculate Conception. BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH. ‘Washington is to have its own Madonna. Since the beginning of Christianity no single subject has been treated so prolifically and from so many different viewpoints by artists all over the world as that of the blessed Virgin ary. Sometimes the blessed mother been shown with the infant Jesus; at other times as a solitary figure. But 8s many different aspects and forms have arisen as there have been varieties | of genius itself. And now a Washington artist, Vicken n Post (Mrs. George Oakley Totten) sculptured, with infinite finesse and delicacy, her conception of the divine mother, which will later be placed in ®» reproduction of the famous grotto of Lourdes, France, in the Church of She Immaculate Conception, at Eighth and N streets. ‘Won Over Other Artists. A great number of designs were sub- mnitted by artists from leading Eastern eities, but Mrs. Totten's conception was eonsidered the finest and she was awarded the commission to sculptof the “Madonne of Washington,” which is to be placed in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, the gift of Miss Anna M. Hagan of 3601 Connecticut avenue, Who is co-operating with the tor of the church, Rev. Francis J.| lurney, in the project. Miss Hagan says that her gift is an effering of thanksgiving for favors re- ceived in the past in answer to prayers. Success has crowned Miss Hagan's life since the days when as a young girl she started in an humble position in New York’s business world until, hard work and perseverance, she was able to retire from business a few years ago, still a young woman. Since that time Miss Hagan has busied herself in helping others. It was after a visit to Lourdes last that Miss Hagan decided to place @ reproduction of the shrine in Wash- ington. ‘The Grotto, which is to be placed in the church, also has been designed by Mrs. Totten, and the work of construc- tion will be under her supervision. ‘The statue of the V! was made Edun. Totten, she explains, after she given close study to the story of e apparition at Lourdes as related Bernadette Upper: A new design of the Ma- donna which will be incorporated in a reproduction of the Grotto of Lourdes to be built in the Church of the Im- maculate.

In announcing the award the special trophy committee E ‘With the extended use of the radial air-cooled engine, the full advantage of this particular type of engine was not realized until a satisfactory and eff- clent method was developed to reduce the air resistance, or drag, of the engine. “The National Advisory Committee| * for Aeronautics developed the means of cowling the radial air-cooled engine so that the resistance, or drag, is greatly reduced. This has- resulted in making possible a stream-lined air flow over the fuselage, increasing the speed of the airplane by 15 to 20 miles.” McCartney.
