Holmes, director of the National Gallery of Art. These portraits are in crayon, chiefly in " line, with just a touch of colored chalk, very - mueh in the style of drawings made by the lish masters, sensitive in rendering and full of personality. A few interesting ex- now on view at the Hill School. Mrs. Williams have issued invitatio of teas. November 21, December 5 and 12, in Mr. Williams’ studic, at 1724 Con- n avenue. Tn sculpture class at the Corcoran School E of Art is this season under the instruction of J. Maxwell Miller of Baltimore, who comes to Washington once a week for the purpose of criticisms. . Mr. Miller is a Baltimorean by X studied at the Maryland Institute of Design _ and the Rinehart School of Sculpture; later at the Julian Academy, Paris, under Verlet; and . he has received numerous medals and awards. From 1901 to 1905 he was holder of the Rine- hart scholarship in Paris. Among his well known works are his portrait of Cardinal Gib- - bons in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; “Bust of a Lady” in the Walters Gallery, Baltimore; a monument to Prench soldiers, Annapolis; the Diniel Coit Gillmore Memorial, - Johns Hopkins University. Under his direction © the sculpture students at the Corcoran School are making excellent progress and working with great enthusiasm. : FRANK GARDNER HALE, master crafts- i man and medalist of Boston, will hold his annual exhibition of hand-wrought jewelry and . enamels at Jane Bartlett’s, 1603 Connecticut - avenue, November 24 to December 6. Mr. Hale’s work is too well known to need either praise or description. He is recognized as one . of the leading jewelers of our day, a crafts- man of exceptional skill, & designer of rare ' taste and intuition, . It is Mr. Hale's custom to give a portion of each year to lecturing and demonstrating in varfous cities in the Middle West and South, remote from art centers, in order to advance fnterest in and the cause of good craftsman- ship. There are few who have done more to ad- vance art in this fleld. During the week that his work is on exhibition here he will be per- ‘sonally in attendance. 5 A YOUNG sculptor, Susanne 8ilvercruys Farnam, Belgian by birth, but married to a man of old New England lineage, first exhibition in New York under patronage of the wife Princess Albert : ipal exhibits is & of President Hi Library Building at Louvain and there. . Farnam studied sculpture at the School of Fine Arts, Yale University, entering in 1925. record as a student was exceptional from beginning. At the end of her first year had progressed so far that a head modeled her was admitted to the Salon Internationale Liege. In June, 1928, she graduated from th the degree of master of fine arts, five years of a full curriculum in carrying off the principal prizes that to woman students. Special com- is given not only her work at Yale, but her portraits of President Hoover and of mother by the dean of the School of Fine of Yale University, Prof. Everett V. Meeks. Her exhibition in New York includes not only portraits of celebrities, but also character studies of simple working people, fountains, a baptismal font and works of similar varied character. Here is & new recruit in the steadily increas- ing group of gifted woman sculptors in America. 'HE Mexican exhibition, which is making a museum tour under the auspices of the American Federation of Arts, opening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last month, and later to be shown here in the Corcoran Gal- lery, is attracting extraordinary interest. Dur- ing the three weeks that it was on view in New York it was visited by over 25,000 persons. This exhibition had its incéption in the in- terest of Dwight Morrow, when Ambassador to Mexico, in Mexican art. It was assembled for the American Federation of Arts by Homer Saint-Gaudens, director of the department of fine arts of the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, through the co-operation of Count Rene d’Hor- nocourt of Mexico City, and it is financed by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. It was shown in Mexico City before being brought to this country. It includes both ancient and modern work, and represents the decorative and applied as well as the fine arts. It is the first comprehensive collection of Mexican art which has been shown in the United States. Almost all of the exhibits have been borrowed from public collections or lent by private col- lectors. Washington is fortunate to be on this circuit. The exhibition will come here in April. NEW group of paintings lent by the Phillips Memorial Gallery has been placed on vi.w during the past week at the Public Library. This group includes works by artists of such divergent character as Rohert Henri and Jean enough to attract interest and awaken curiosity, in other words, whet the taste for more. It is with this purpose that the loan is made, Mr. Phillips realizing that contacts made casually by readers using the Public Library will go far toward developing in Washington a vital in- terest in the art of today. Fuller comment on this loan and its sig- nificance will be made in these columns later. - o0 N > HEL world of music during his lifetime. Mr. Humis- ton was for years assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic Society and wrote the 24,000 people attended the matinee and eve- ning concerts. The band had not visited the Pacific Coast States since 1912. To quote one of the prominent Pacific Coast newspapers, “Should the United States Marine Band not return here for another 18 years, it is unlikely that any of those who heard the three con- certs will forget the brillilant playing of this organization.” The band has resumed its regular duties here and the Marine Band Orchestra will open its Winter season with a concert at the Ma- rine Barracks Wednesday night, November 26, at 8 o'clock, under the direction of Capt. Tay- lor Branson. Orchestra concerts will be given regularly on Wednesday nights and Friday aft- ernoons in the auditorium at the Marine Bar- racks. The public is invited to attend these concerts. The programs will appear in daily issues in The Star.

Txl roadside market of the farmer has progressed rapidly in a few years until now it possesses a decidedly important place in the cash crop plans of the smaller farmer. The old idea that a farmer need do litile else than put up some sort of shelter and place his goods on display has given away to the pro- gressive market which not only has farm products for sale for any autoist on the hunt for them, but goes further and makes the display so attractive that the though not intending to purchase is lured into buying. The Department of Agriculture has been conducting an investigation of these roadside markets and has found that in a large number of cases where the farmer has combined some merchandising sense along with attractive dis- plays of fruit and vegetables the sales have increased 10 and 15 per cent from season to season. In some areas where the farmers are situated too far back from the well traveled roads to hope to do much business they have grouped together in the construction of a co-operative store along the main roads where a salesman is put in charge accountable to the various farmers who bring their products to the stand. The general appearance of the stands in many sections is improving also, with substantial and attractive buildings replacing the mushroom type group which has marked much of the past expansion, Hunt Airplane Glues. TH]: average airplane contains 35 differeng types of wooden parts made up of any= where from 250 to 2,000 board feet of wood. Many of these parts are glued together and be= cause of this the question of airplane glues is highly important. The Forest Products Lab- oratory of the Department of Agriculture has been conducting a study of this question for 10 years or more and have drawn many cone clusions from their tests which are of vital importance to the aircraft industry. Every type of glue which might be fitted for airplane use has been tested exhaustively and under all sorts of conditions in order to dise cover which are best and best able to withe stand the rigorous demands of the cond'tions under which planes are operated.
