Washington and the New Deal

1t is an unusual tome written,

of the press who now heads q

is hiding under the name Of
Keats Patrick.
If a couple Of murders In
Arlington county, garnished in
small talk about the great and
near great who are now helping
to run the Government, intrigue
you, here is your book.
The author mentions names
and places. Real names and real
places. Such familiar scenes as
the House Office Building. the
Experimental Farms and down.
town Washington are his locale.
1t is quite an unusually accept
able plot and should be of par.

Irrational Velvet" Has
"Black Beauty" Charm

If it is true that too many
movies and too much SophiStica-
ton has stolen the charm of
Black Beauty" from the hearts of
children and the adults who used
to read about him, the story Of
Velvet Brown has arrived to take
his place.
Velvet had six horses and the
greatest of these was The Piebald.
For The Piebald won the Grand
National.
1t is a highly improbable tale,
although Enid Bagnold assures us
that it isn't at all impossible.
Velvet is IA but with the dreams
of a gurgling baby that are age
less. Velvet's mother was a chan.
mel swimmer. VelVet'S father was
butcher. Her heritage came di-
rectly from her mother. And all
the help with her horses came
from her mother also.
It wouldn't have been much Of
a story If Velvet had had to go
on living her races in dreams with
the little papers animals she cut
from racing papers and library
books.
But, on the eve Of the fair
rattle, the old gentleman not far
from the cottage, shot himself
and left Velvet his stable of five.
The next day Velvet won the
Piebald in the rattle.
Father was a bit difficult, what
with the cost and the trouble that
six horses naturally brought to a
man busy with his slaughter
house but mother aided and abet-
ted her in her quiet, strong way.
Then Mi, fathers helper, was
the son of Dan Taylor. Dan
Taylor had managed Velvet'S
mother when she swan the chan
mel. Mi Taylor thought he would
like to see Velvet do something
with her horses. especially the
Piebald, and Velvet dreamed of
the Grand National.
From then on the story is In

The work Of these children is
really amazing. They have been
taught that their imagination
and their creative ability is the
most important part of their art
instruction, and each one Of their
paintings or drawings Is tn e
product Of their own individual
ties.
Several portraits are on exhi-
bition which would do credit to
seasoned artists, and, in many
cases, the observer would be in
clined to disbelieve the captions
under the pictures which note
the artists ages.
Even where the pictures are
very childlike in their execution,
there is q remarkable feeling for
composition and color.
In addition to the display Of
children'S work, there Is also an
exhibition of some very fine oils
and water colors by the members
Of the adult classes.
Edward Bruce, consulting ex-
pert in the Division of Painting
and Sculpture Of the Treasury De-
