Western Artists Work
Distributed by Association

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-(AP)-Placing
OF the best works of western artists
of the highest ability, in the homes
of art lovers, instead of letting them
remain in their original environment
of the studio, has been made pos
sible here through the, creation of
the Chicago Galleries Association
and its novel plan for distribution
of the artists work. Curtis B. Camp,
an attorney of Chicago, is president
The association is to be conducted
as non-profit one.
The association is a combination
of artists and $50 lay members and
the plan of distribution provides for
the selection of $50 of the best
paintings shown in the galleries over
a period of three years, or % to be
selected at each spring and fall ex-
hibition to be presented to each of
the $50 lay members.
These paintings will be selected by
the laymen, each of whom is re-
quired to pay into the association as
membership dues 5000 year for a
three-year period. This assures the
layman, however, of obtaining one
of the best pictures shown for $780,
The selection of lay members to
choose pictures will be made by lot,
but all will be assisted by a commit :
tee composed of three art experts or
best although they are permitted to
choose any picture they desire with
out advice.
receive the 5000 for each picture
ol, 81 4f ~
selected by the layman, assisted by
the committee of experts, this latter
committee will decide which picture
deserves the first prize of $1,000, and
the artist will receive this amount.
Following this, the committee will
select pictures for the, second. third,
fourth, and so on down to the twen-
ty-f1fth prize.
The prizes will be: One 81 900
prize. two $500 prizes, three $400
prizes. five $500 prizes, four $3.50
prizes and ten 5000 honorariums.
A rule of the association says: TT
is our problem first of all to give
each layman the picture that he
likes and that he wants from the
exhibition for the money he has
paid, and secondly to see that the
pictures tnuS selected are the pest
pictures in the show and that the
prizes are properly awarded to these
pictures"
Artists from Ohio and all states
west to the Pacific Coast are to be
invited to enroll in the association,
the list being confined to artists of
| high standing.
The Galleries Association also will
conduct what it calls it's circulating
department, where any or all of the
$50 laymen may select smaller pic
lures from the gallery walls and take
one Of them home for a period of
from 30 to so days and then return
|it and take another home and con-
tinue this system as long as he holds
membership.
Each artist will be required to
furnish designated quota of these
smaller pictures for the galleries in
addition to submitting the larger
picture for the prizes.
The galleries will probably be
opened the coming autumn.

'M|DD|ES' FAVOR
AIR TRAINING
PROGRAM
Annapolis Men Send Word to
Coolidge Indorsing
New Course

Annapolis nidshipmen today sent
word to President Colidge of their
emphatic approval of the new navy
order which makes aviation a
compulsory part of their training.
The message was informally con-
veyed to the President by Rear
Admiral Mutton. superintendent OF
the Naval Academy, who today
conferred with the Chief Executive
over number of pending naval
issues.
"All of the Annapolis students
are gratified over the opportunity
to receive a complete training in
aviation said Admiral Mutton.
There has been no opposition or
dissatisfaction whatever with the
order issued by Secretary Wilbur.
The training in aviation is regarded
as supplemental to the engineering
and technical part of a naval Of
ficer's education.
"The real value of aviation to
the naval officer will not come
in his training as a pilot or flier,
but in the broadening of his engi-
neering education. 4 This summer
will see the initiation Of the new
system at the academy. I am GER
tain it will be a complete success. "
President Coolidge has been keep
ing in close contact with develop
ments in naval aviation and he
believes the training to be given
at Annapolis to the midshipmen
will be the best way Of bridging
the divisional sentiment in the
navy between supporters of the
dreadnaught and the airplane
