We have recently had the unusual priv
ilege of reading descriptive catalogue
and enjoying the beautiful sepia repro
auctions of the wonderful collection OF
pictures presented short time ago to the
National Art Gallery in Washington. D..
c., by Mr.. Ralph Cross johnson of that
| city and Belfast. Art critics say that no
money value can be placed on the collec-
ton as the majority could not now be had
at any price. They will also increase in
value in years to come. They represent
the life study of Mr.. johnson, who has
travelled practically all over the world.

quirlng the strength of three men to lift

human being framed This, critics con-
slider one of the most valuable, practical
ly beyond price even today.
