This. collection will consist of a Beries of figure studies done in color and in black and white, freely, and in the most ex- treme modernistic manner, but with originality and strength—work of unique character be- speaking gift on the part of the artist and an understanding of the modern mode. rl‘}!l Landscape Club of Washington opened . its periodic exhibition at the Mount Pleas- ant branch of the Public Library April 6, to femain until May 6. The group of 40 works, most of them oil paintings, represents the club in its usual friendly mood, with engaging views of Washington and vicinity, and of other re- gions as remote as Europe. The character of the exhibition is predominantly conservative, ap,usual, only a few of the paintings tending toward. the contemporary mode, in stark out- lines and masses of color without much detail. These few paintings are “Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge,” by Walter; two effective street scenes by Rowland Lyon, built up with sharp con- trasts between sunlight and shadow, and two aquarelles by Felix Mahony. _ One of the most delightful of the paintings on view is “Washington Water Front As It Was,” by A. H. O. Rolle, a poetic representation bt a section of the wharves toward evening. Minor Jameson shows several canvases, all giv- ing evidence of an apparent preference for blue, $‘Beeches” is perhaps the most impressive, with its restricted color scheme. Benson B. Moore's “Rocks and Snow” and “Ravine in Winter” are up to his usual high standard. Roy Clark's “Mount Graylock” is on: of the best paintings he has shown to date. “Moncaster’s Mill,” by Ppr. Motley, and “St. Mary’s Bay, Nova Scotia,” & water color, by Gen. F. S. Foltz, are notable among the larger paintings shown, while Perkins’ “Cape Cod Cottage” and “Gray Day in November” by Jex are two of the attractive canvases of small size, to mention but a few. Dr. W. H. Holmes is represented by an early water color of two women in a rowboat. Rich- ard S. Meryman contributes the only portrait, an excellent likeness of Eugene Weisz, one of his associates on the faculty of the Corcoran School of Art. By Charles Welpley are an etch- ing, “River Edge, Chartres,” thoroughly con- servative, and a block print of a nude, mod- nistic in character, indicating the artist's healthy impartiality to the two methods of approach, There is also a color etching by Claghorn, a study in deep browns and greens. AN exhibition and demonstration of weaving from the Nancy Hanks looms, Lincoln Memorial University, is being held at the pres- ent time at 719 Seventcenth street, and is in- teresting not only in itself, for the work shown is excellent and very attractive, good in design, skillful in craftsmanship, but because of what it represents in the way of a folk-craft move- ment, and on account of the fact that Henry L XK h-Brown is director of creative svts at t’]fisauu:ilvefirygx, T b o Blssrn i The students of Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, Tennessee, are chiefly mountain people and take part in the work of the univer- sity, giving service for tuition. It is the de- sire of the trustees of the university and of Mr. Bush-Brown to build a craft house in which the handwork can be done more con- veniently than at present. “Having been made director of the creative arts of the Lincoln Memorial University,” Mr. Bush-Brown says, “I feel a great responsibility, and am sure the craft house is of first importance. Because of the fine educational plant on 5,000 acres of land, forming a magnificent base for the de- velopment of the fine arts, I have offered my time and talents without salary, in order that my long-cherished dream may be carried out” —a dream that art shal not be divorced from rural life and that craft work shall be recognized as of vital importance as work in sculpture or painting. This is a work which must appeal to all, and should receive abundant patronage. A’r the Arts Club, 2017 I street, the ex- hibitions change today. The exhibition of Brazilian art, which has attracted so much favorable attention, being replaced by an exhibition of paintings by Fanny Bunand- Sevastos, and works in sculpture by Angela Gregory, both pupils of Bourdelle. Fanny Bu- nand-Sevastos is, in fact, a niece of the famous sculptor, and has exhibited in the Salon des grning Among the Cross-Words P — llz.mwfl Continued From Nineteenth Page Tuilleries in Paris every year since 1927. She is now temporarily residing n Washington. An- gela Gregory is a Louisianian. Her studio is in ‘New Orleans, although she studied in Paris. Her father, Willilam B. Gregory, is head of the department of experimental engineering at Tu- lane University, and is a member of the Ameri- can Society of Mechanical Engineers. Both young women are essentially modernistic in their form of expression. At the same time a Japanese pictorial photog- rapher, Yosei Amemya, will exhibit a collection of photographs at the Arts Club. One of the subjects in this exhibition of what he himself calls “etching-tone prints” is of one of the great New York skyscrapers, “Sunlight and Shadow,” which has attracted wide attention both in New York ’nd in London. HOBART AND SPENCER NICHOLS, for- mery of this city, are holding, with Luis Mora, an exhibition of their paintings in the Wadsworth Athenaeum, Hartford, Conn. Both brothers attended at one time the Art Stu- dents’ League in this city and were closely as- sociated with the development of art here 30 years ago. They are both still members of the Washington Water Color Club and the Society of Washington Artists, and likewise of the National Academy of Design.

The attendants at this lecture are invited also to visit the bishop’s garden. Porto Rico’s Wood Shortage. PORTO RICO is beginning to feel seriously the pinch that follows the depletion of a country’s timberland. The shortage of wood is a serious matter—so serious, in fact, that it is actually reaching into the homes of the poorer classes, where needed benches, beds and even charcoal for fuel are lacking. Investigations carried on by Forest Service experts disclosed homes in which insufficient benches were available to permit the family all to be seated at one time for meals. In others the children were found sleeping on floors and the parents in improvised hammocks. Practically all the hardwood in the island has been cut and until recently, when Federal ex- perts undertook remedial measures, no efforts were made to set out new trees. In order to correct the situation as rapidly as possible the Insular Forestry Buraeu is furnishing seedlings free of charge to any who will set them out. Certain of the trees which grow in Porto Rico, such as the African tulip, mesquite and Casaurina, develop so rapidly that in 10 years or less they will develop saw timber from 8 to 12 inches in diameter. These types are being especially pushed, with hardwoods fur- nished to those who can afford to wait longer to get their results, The value of the trees as windbreaks for the coffee and sugar plantations has been fre- quently demonstrated, but the hurricane which spread havoc in 1928 destroyed large numbers of trees and substitutes must be raised as soon a8 possible.
