But Mr. Hutty @oes not limit himself to this one theme. Hec @id, some years ago, an exquisite etching of the west front ot th> Capitol. He has made any pumber of d.'ighitful etchings of old houses in harlesion Born in 1879, in Grand Haven, Mich., Mr. Butty’s boyhioci was spent in Kansas City, Mo., Bod the fioncer town of Leavenworth, Kans. At the age ¢t 15 he won a scholarship in the :t. Louis Scizo0l of Fine Arts for having pro- Quced the best original drawing in the local puhlic schuols. As a young man he worksd in ined glass. which profession he abandoned become a _ainter. He studied under Birge ison, at Woodstock, and was thus induced 0 make that locality his home. Mr. Hutty has exhibited numerous times in Washington, at the Corcoran Gallery, at the Arts Club, at Gordon Dunthorne’s—but he can- Pot come to us too often. OSE who visit the Hutty exhibition will . likewise find interest and pleasure in a llection of il'uminated books and manuscripts the Socle y of Scribes and Iluminators of Eogland, which is set forth in the same gallery Bt this time. Tbis is the second exhibit which $his unique society has made here, and the work Bow on view exhibits increasing skillfulness @ the part of the exhibitors, The illumination of books and manuscripts is a great art and one of the oldest. That there are enough interested in it today to keep 1t alive is a matter of congratulation. OPENING this afternoon and continuing throughyDecember 27, at the Arts Club, is an exhibition of landscapes of the American Southwest and the Canadian Rockies, and of recent portraits by Clara E. Sipprell of New York, one of the foremost of our American photo-pictorialists. Miss Sipprell is no stranger to Washington, having exhibited here from time to time collections of her beautiful work—work which goes to prove that in the hands of an artist the camera may well prove an artistic medium. Miss Sipprell's home is in Woodstock, Vt., but she wanders far and near, sometimes to Czechoslovakia, sometimes, as in the present instance, to the Canadian Rockies, and wherever she goes she discovers and brings back evidence of great beauty. Miss Sipprell's exhibition will be seen in the reception room at the Arts Club, while in the gallery adjacent works by Alice Judson of New York will be set forth. HE Arts Club of Washington announces its annual Bal Boheme, to be held February 2, 1931. The ball will take place this year “In the Court of King Loony XIIT—on the Moon.” Leaders at Old Kirkzwood House. Contirued from Ninth Page @fter he c~ne into office. There had been a force of 40 special traveling agents who did E:e detective work. When rumors or positive formation of fraud reached the office here of thes . special agents was sent secretly to the home of tue alleged fraudulent pensioner, and there in secret gathered the evidence of the fraud. C-l Dudley abolished the system of @etectives and secrecy altogether. He said that Union so'dier had at least earned the right be brought face to face with his accuser. The detective force was changed to a special examining force and greatly increased in num- bers. There are now 400 of them in the field. Their busin-s: is to take evidence for and #gainst claiins. The claimant is given due Botice of the time and place of such examina- flon and invited to be present, and the exami- tion is he!? with open doors like a court. system has been found expeditious and @conomical “Col. Dudlev has been more liberal with Ppensioners and 1:as relaxed the severe rules of the office more than any of his predecessors, while comjplying exactly with the law. One ohange in the law which he has desired may Ppossibly ve' be made, and that is when an old @oldier is sick and in need not to require him @ prove that his disease was contracted while the service. There is one other thing espe- Uy to be said to the credit of Col. Dudley— that he has never treated an unsuccessful ap- plicant for a pension as necessarily a fraud. He puts them in the same list as unsuccessful litigants in the civil courts; they were mistaken as to their rights. “Secretary Teller was seen last night and said he had not yet decided upon Commissioner Dudley’s successor. ‘I have not consulted with the President yet, and have not received Mr. Dudley’s resignation. When I do I will make public all the correspondence relating to the subject, including a letter which I shall write.’ He said: “The only people who will be pleased at Col. Dudley’s resignation are the swindling pension claim agents, against whom the commissioner has waged unremitting and successful war dur- ing his entire administration. The best and best known work of Col. Dudley has been to force a number of these dishonest agents to quit the business.” As the writer recalls Col. Dudley, he was a handsome man of portly build, who walked with an effort, due to his having lost a leg in one of the Civil War battles. & In 1885 the Pension Bureau was removed from this corner to what was then the new Pension Office Building, in Judiciary Square, and where Cleveland’s inaugura! ball was held in March of that year. A bronze tablet to mark the historic Kirk- wood House has been prepared by the Commit- tee on Historic Sites, and will soon be put in place with appropriate ceremonies. There will be a poster contest, as usual. Mrs, Maud Howell Smith is chairman of the casting committee. On December 8 a Bal Boheme office was opened in the basement of 2015 I street. These balls have become notable events of the Winter in Washington, and each seems to outshine the last, at least for the moment, PICTORIAL photographs by Julius Aschauer, F. R. P. S, of Vienna, Austria, are on view during the month of Decembor in the Arts and Industries Building, United States National Museum, Section of Photography. Mr. Aschauer is reported to be one of the best transfer workers in Europe, and this exhibition of his prints, 35 in number, would seem to confirm this ranking. He is a remarkable technician and has apparently a keen sense of artistic values. "J"HE Landscape Club of Washington is again holding an exhibition at the Mount Pleasant Branch, Public Library, and, as in the past, the collection is interesting and attractive. As a whole the exhibit presents a better appearance than usual, due to the fact that there are a less number of pictures, there being but 32 in all. The character of the exhibition is varied both in medium and subject, works being shown in oils and water color, the subjects embracing architecture, flowers and figures. Some of the pictures included in the exhibi= tion have been seen here before, such, for example, as Charles Bittinger’s “Duxbury—100,” his own Summer home, but represented here surrounded by snow, brilliant sunlight making interesting shadcw patterns on its walls and the snow-covered ground. Richard Meryman’s recent visit to the Cana- dian Rockies has borne fruit in a painting of Lake Louise included in this ccllection. Mr, Meryman is chiefly a painter of figures and portraits, but occasionally when he does paint a landscape it is a true interpretation of beauty seen and felt by the artist. Many will remem- ber with pleasure one of his pictures of cherry trees in Potomac Park in bloom. “Lake Louise” in interest is comparable. Mr. Schram is at his best in “Stream in Winter.” Charles E. Hoover’s painting, “Street in Georgetcwn,” which attracted favorable attention when shown recently at the Arts Club, takes its place here with the best. Gen. F. S. Foltz, a comparatively new member, shows a brilliant water color of the Key Bridge, and William H. Holmes exhibits one of his deep- toned landscapes in the same medium. Among others exhibiting are Benson B. Moore, Garnet W. Jex, Newman S. Sudduth, R. Bruce Horsfall, A. H. O. Rolle and Frank Niepold. The exhibition will continue throughout the month and will be on view weeks days only, from 9 am. to 9 pm. Big Game Increase. THE advantages of game preserves were well demonstrated by the increase in big game on the reservations in the National and State forests during the past year. The deer population in the restricted areas of the National forests, for instance, now totals more than 800,000, which is nearly one-third higher than in the preceding year. There are about 50,000 grizzlies, but this figure indicates a loss of more than one-third, because of the lack of restrictions protecting these animals. Antelope, black or brown bears, elk, goats and mountain sheep also were greatly increased over the preceding year, but the number of caribou was decreased, because of the disap- pearance of one large herd, which is believed to have shifted over into Canada. The efforts of the Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture are being bent to- ward a wider and more intelligent protection and development of the wild-game population, in order that the sport of big game hunting may be assured to future hunters, The study being carried on includes the gathering of data as to the best type of game for each preserve, the number that the preserve can maintain, the limit of kill that may be permitted hunters, with reproduction in mind, and the type of feed that must be maintained in the preserves. The fundamental legislation governing the protection of the big game comes under the control of the States in which the preserves are located, and the Federal experts aim to provide the State authorities with the best in-< formation possible, to guide in the framing of the restrictions vital to the preservation of the game. At present there are 278 game preserves in the country, only 20 of which are under the direct control of the Federal Government. Fight Coyote Wolves. THE coyote is one of the greatest enemies of the stock-raiser and the hunter in the West. So serious have the animal's activilies been that the Biolcgical Survey of the Depart- ment of Agriculture is co-operating in exter- mination work being carried on against the coyote wolf __ . These animals are almost uncanny in their ability to. avoid the traps and snares laid for them by men, and, as a result, Federal experts were put to work to discover means of luring the animals into the traps laid for them. As much of the area in the Western States is given over to stock-raising, the inroads of the animals have been severe. Not only is the coyote destructive in its feeding, but it is a spreader of rabies and tularemia. Successful means of spreading scents and lures have been worked out and this informa- tion is being g®en out by the survey to help the stock-raisers fight the animals,
