|DENBY RIGHTS ERROR
IN NAVAL PAINTING
There is a lot of difference between
a landlubber and a sailor as secretary
| of the navy, officers of the navy say.
During much of the administration
of Josephus Daniels an oil painting
(depicting an American destroyer con
i voying a aailing ship Into port hung
on his office wall. The canvas was re
j moved soon alter Edwin Denby took
’ charge. The reason leaked out todav
The artist had reversed the riding
lights on the destroyer. Where the
flat board green light should have
been there was a red light, and the
port light had been made a verdant
' j green.
Mr. Denby ordered the lights re
| painted to conform to naval practice
• and the picture now hangs 1n a huli-
I way of the Navy Building.
