TOMORROW WILL Be
CLOSING DAY Of THE
EXHIBIT OF PRINTS

For those who wish to see the ex-
hibit OF prints of the Print Makers

day of grace remains. Tomorrow.
Monday, is the last day as they will
be sent to Tempe to the Normal for
a brief time before they are started
for other cities.
In this exhibition II would seem as

design At second glance one realizes
that Mr.. Bauman's are very complex
but so completely has he mastered
his medium that he is able to use
much detail without losing the effect
Of the whole ''or being fnssy' and to
keep his color clear and atmospheric.
Perhaps his "Pinon" of the Canyon
is good illustration OF this. He has

Three aquatints by Leonard Squir-

they are carried very far, retain their
bigness Of feeling.
Many others, that space does not
permit Of mention. are equally beau

The etchings, too. so many and
varied, both OF kind and subject.
