very real sort that is to be found in the works
in his current exhibition.
THERE is great charm to be found in the
] collection of paintings by George Elmer
Browne now on view In the gallery at the Arts
Club 2017 street. Seventeen paintings In all
are shown, of which four are water colors. the
chers oils. Strangely enough, in this instance.
the water colors are much larger in dimensions
than are the oils, also perhaps more broadly
painted The oils are little pictures, which
would appear well on the wallis of home. Pre-
sumably they are studies made to be enlarged
later and they are framed with mats, as IS
customary with water cOlors.
The first Of these mo. l in the catalogue)
which attracts the visitors attention upon en-

and is picture Of green trees against q Sum-

romance creeps in. And how interpretative and
really lovely these paintings are-views seen
through the temperament and understanding Of
a genuine artist-toneful, colorful, never over
emphasized; pictures which send one of with
a sense of refreshment and contentment, . re-
newed faith and vision.
The water colors are particularly attractive.
broadly rendered, colorful, subjectvely pleasing.
They include the "Fete of st. Anne Of Brit
tany." "The Bridge, Ondarroa, Spain." and
Gate Of the Sun, Toledo" There is moth
ing bizarre in these works, nothing that clamors
for attention, just quiet beauty artistically ex-
pressed.

A COLLECTION of woodblock prints by
" Donald Witherstine occupies the walls Of
the drawing room and dining room at the Arts
Club at this time. OF their kind they are ex-
tremely clever, but to the writer woodblock
prints have interest merely for the moment, de-
livefing their message, as it were, at glance.
There is, of course, fad for this type of work
today, and the simplicity Of it Is undoubtedly
commendable. But 1t is an obvious medium, not
suitable for all uses, perhaps not half the uses
to which It Is put at this time. For the In
depreciation of derricks, Of high buildings, OF
modern machinery, the woodblock print Is ad-
mirable When used as it so frequently IS.
for illustrative purposes, 1t outweighs the type

their limitations as well as their potentiahties.
Only when these are understood and recognized
is genuine artistic success obtained. The wood
block has certainly in recent years been much
overvorked, even by those who. as In this In
stance, MI. Witherstine, use 1t well.

NO WEDNESDAY
HALF HOLIDAYS

There will be no mid-week hall
holidays for retail store employees this
summer. The retail stores will re-
main open. For many years it has
been the custom of the Hamilton
stores to close for the day at noon
each Wednesday during the months
of July and August. In fact, sew
eral years back it was customary for
the stores to close also during June
at noon Wednesday. The announce
ment to remain open this year was
made by the directors of the Mer-
chants Association, who say the
action was taken after a careful con-
vass of all association members.
To the retail clerks it might be
said the loss of this half holiday dur
ing the hot months is due to their
lack of interest in their union organ
ization, and is a direct result of no
clerks union to point out to the mer-
chants the benefits and advantages of
closing their stores as was the GUS
tom in years past. The loss of their
half holiday will give the store en-
ployes something to ponder over in
the way of the good of organization.

Unique Collection Of
Epic Poems Preserved

The second edition of the Oldest
book OF poems in the English language
has recently appeared.
The first edition, which consisted
OF one volume only, came out 1900
years ago.
This Is the Exeter Book" which
has, for centuries, been kept In Exeter
cathedral According to legend the
book was compiled at the order Of
King Alfred, who caused the monks
to collect in one great volume all the
old poems OF England. Such epic
poems were sung by minstrels and
handed down from father to son. To
write them was rare indeed. Conse-
Quently the original Exeter book
which consists of 262 pages Of beauti-
fully hand-written and Illuminated
manuscripts unique.
The book was taken out Of Exeter
cathedral for the first time In nearly
1000 years to be brought to London
for the preparation of the second edi-
tion. This is limited to 250 copies.
For the book is not printed; each of
the original pages is reproduced by q
special Photographic process, and the
whole Is bound In buckram blocked In

STEEL OFFERS A
FUNNY IF"

Pittsburgh (ILNS)-United States
Steel has made queer announce
ment to the effect that leading steel
executives" are considering a plan to
raise wages 10 per cent July if the
industrial recovery act doesn't pre-
vent that action.
The announcement came while the
recovery act was before the senate.
Whether it was intended as a move to
block the legislation, doesn't seem
clear, but what motive there could
have been in an announcement that
wages would be raised if the law
didn't interfere is otherwise a mys-
terry.
One of the two main purposes of
the new legislation is to raise wages.
There are some who hold that Steel
could raise wages much more than 10
per cent, and that the wage raise an
nouncement was in the nature of a
plan to "get by" with much less than
might be compelled under the new
law. In other words, it is believed
by some that the steel announcement
was made Ito beat the gun" and per-
haps to placate the administration in
regard to the company union set-up
in U. S. Steel and Bethlehem Steel, a
set-up which is doomed if the new
law has the intended effect and is
properly enforced.

BUYING POWER
OF Workers Hit BY Soaring
Prices

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Soar-
ing prices are hitting the wage Garner
and threatening to create wide spread
between national buying power and
national income, unless wages speed
lily advance.
The United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics reports that the country is
now experiencing the sharpest rise
in wholesale prices since 1929. With
one exception, wholesale prices have
risen steadily every week since March
4, when they reached the low point
of the depression.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics in
dex of wholesale prices shows a Z
per cent advance since the week end
ed March d. The greater part of this
increase has been in connection with
commodities that had declined most
rapidly since 1929
The biggest gain was in farm prod
ucts, which are now 81 per cent high
er than on March a. Farm products
had shown a greater decline in the
last four years than any other COM
modify grouping of the bureau.
Hides and leather products have
shown the second largest increase of
any of the commodity groups, in
creasing 18 per cent since March a.
Foods and textile products groups
have shown the next largest increases,
each gaining ID per cent. Fuel and
lighting decreased per cent.
Other gains were as follows: Metals
and metal products group, per cent;
building materials, Ia per cent; chem
cals and drugs, per cent. House
hold furnishing goods and the miscel-
laneous group of commodities were
the only groups to show a fall, each
showing drop of l per cent.
