Notes of Art and Artists — last lecture, on “American Places of Worship —Mayan and Indian; 1 Modern,” will be given by Everett V. Me professor of architecture at Yale University and dean of the Yale School of the Fine Arts. The hour of these lectures will be 5 pm. A rare opportunity will be given Washingtonians to hear such learned authorities on these sub- jects. Sir Wilmott Lewis will preside and 1n- troduce the speakers. LECTURE on theater art, “The Contem- porary Theater—If Any,” will be given by John Martin of the New York Times in the Caroline McKinley studio, 1731 I street, on the evening of February 15. Mr. Martin was asso- ciated with Maurice Brown and Stuart Walker, pioneers in America’s little theater movemens, and has contributed, through his writings, to better understanding of the theater as an ar- tistic expression. An interesting address on the dance was given by Mr. Martin in the Brook- lyn Museum last May, at the time of the Amer- ican Federation of Arts’ annual convention. URING the month of February a series of student murals from the Master Institute of the Roerich Museum, New York, will be on view in the Howard University Art Gallery. The purpose back of these decorations is to give the students an idea of tempera painting, each stu- dent being obliged to prepare the board and ground on which he ultimately placed his deco- ration. The subjects were selected as exercises in imagination as well as execution, each ore based on the prinicples of design as brought to the students during the first stages of their study in a course in dynamic symmetry, which, being translated in every-day terms, literally means ‘“‘power through control.” AN interesting lecture on “Modernism and the Individual” was given by C. Law Wat- kins of the Phillips Memorial Gallery. under the auspices of the art department at Howard University in the university gallery a fortnight or more ago, in which Mr. Watkins claimed that the rise and spread of the modernist move- ment was merely an indication of increasing individualism. Modernism, he claimed, eun- courages the artist to be himself, to say some- thing new if he can and to say it in a per- sonal way. This present-day trend gives, Mr. Watkins affirmed, exceptional opportunity for nationalistic expression, for those who have in- dividuality and personality to add something of real value to the world of art.

Schwarz, will be presented by the Alumni As- sociation of the university and ceremoniously unveiled on February 19. Mr. Schwarz is an alumnus of this instituticn and has already painted several other members of the faculty. He is one of the founders and officers of the Free Lance Club. His portrait of Dean Ruediger is considered one of his out- standing achievements. Prior to its unveiling it is temporarily on view in Provost Wilbur's of- fice, 2100 G street, Shell Dates Back HE powerful armor-piercing shell of modern warfare is one of the mcst destructive weapons, but its origin is by no means modern. Back before Columbus sailed into the western seas on his voyage which ended with the discovery of America shells were uscd in warfare. The shells had little in common with the present-day development, yet those now in use owe their being to the first cruds shells employed by the Sultan of Gujarat in warfare in 1480. These first shells were known as bombs and were fired from mortars. They were made of cast iron. Their value was recognized by mili- tary experts of those days and they came into fairly general use by the middle of the seven- teenth century. During the Peninsula War a new type of shell was developed, one in which bullets were substituted for powder within the shell. These shells, called shrapnel, after the inventor, con- tained a small amount of powder and a fuse €ven awesome Sunday Morning Among the Cross-Words 87. Petulant. 88. Greek wood-wind instrument. 89.

N\ AN exhibition of decorative paintings and of drawings made in Mexico by Olin Dow and Thomas La Farge will be held at Gordon Dunthorne’s, in the Mayflower, from February 1 to 14. Mr. Dow is a Washingtonian, and ex- hibited here a couple of years ago in the York Gallery. He and his friend, Mr. La Farge, re- cently made a trip to Mexico. The drawings to be hibited are the result. Mr. Dunthorne is showing in his gallery at the present time Mr, Smart’s three-quarter length portrait of Gen. to LEarly IWars to explode the powder. They were the fore- runner of the shrapnel ghell now in use. With the developmemt of shrapnel, the progress of shells followed along two lines—one the development of shells intended for human destruction and shells intended for the de- struction of material such as forts, roads, armor plate and so on. Among the latter are incendiary shells, known as carcasses, contain- ing burning materials which will set fire to buildings, a modern version of the Indian’s flam- ing arrow. The hand grenade is an adaptation of the shrapnel idca, with a fuse arrangement to explode it when it meets its objective. The armor-piercing shells present somewhat of a paradox, for they are frequently capped with a soft steel cap which enables them to pierce even face-hardened steel. The shell proper is made of chrome steel, and some are capped, while others are not. An English in- ventor, Palliser, was the originator of the armor-piercing shell. Engineers to Remake Farm Maps HE crazy-quilt plan of farming, in which lots of every conceivable shape have been worked with little or no regard for orderliness, is all wrong, agricultural experts believe, and the Fedeal department has turned some of its engineers loose on the problem to see what can be done about it. Out of the almost chaotic layout as seen from the air will grow an orderly checker- board pattern, if the engineers have their way, _ although the ‘“‘squares” will be rectangles twice as long as wide and containing 32.5 acres. The model field will be more than twice the size of the present average, but will, through its regularity, “work” much cheaper and with less loss of time and effect. The use of tractors and other machinery will be facilitated by the avoidance of all irregularities. Present boundaries, such as small wood lots, ditches and so on, will be eliminated, the for- mer by cutting and the latter by the substi- tution of underground drain tile. A number of farms in Minnesota are being used in the experimental work. The experts estimate that it will cost, on an average, $460 to bring the farms into conformity with the pattern they consider ideal. The costs naturally include the expense of readjusting fences, roads and practically everything else around the farm other than the permanent and larger buildings. The experiment is being watched with con- siderable interest, for, should it prove success- ful, it might almost revolutionize farming practice in this country. 2 A v v ; K 'A p H NN side of a roof. 96.

PORT subjects in water color and sculpture by John W. Dunn and Kathleen Wheeler, respectively, will be shown in Jane Bartlett's shop, 1347 Ccnnecticut avenue, from February 1 to 14. Mr. Dunn is an architect who paints by way of recreation, and his chosen subject is horses, Kathleen Wheeler has likewise made a specialty of horses and sport subjects. tler medium, however, is sculpture, and her works are cast not only in the usual materials, but in porcelain and plaster, attractively colcred. The Evergreen’s “Kin gt T seems to be Nature's intention that all evere green trees shall have one main spike, which rises straight up. The spruce, as an example, grows in this way with the side branches going straight out parallel to the ground from the base of the upright. The upright then sprouts a number of branches at its tip to repeat the process, If through injury or pruning, the center or upright branch of a new series is killed all of the side branches at this point turn gradually upward and this continues for some time until one, through some mysterious selection, asserts itself as the main branch and the others then gradually drop back to their horizontal position and the tree resumes once more its normal growth.
