Requires
Skill

The thought arises, when
seeing an exhibition Of beau
tiful prints, that it really is a
shame that etcherS feel called
upon to destroy their plates
after they have pulled a COM
paratively few prints.
Such a thought took shape
with this critic on viewing
the gift prints Of the Chicago
Society of Etchers at the Di-
vision Of Graphic Arts, Smith
sonian Building.
Print-making is such a difficult
art, and its results are so beautiful
when the prints are expertly done
that it seems those who place etch-
ings high among the media Of art
are being deprived Of much that is
good and beautiful with the de-
struction Of a plate.
Wide Variety
Why, then, the query persists,
should it be destroyed?
The Smithsonian exhibition is
lovely. A large number of prints,
presented to the institution as a
gift, are on exhibition, with the
variety that such group Of prints
entails.
Most Of the better known print
Gsakers are represented in the
show with one or more of their
works. Among the gift prints are
several that have been shown at
the Smithsonian in various one
man shows that have been held in
recent years.
Etchings, drypoints, aquatints,
and naezzo-tints are all included in
the variety exhibition. Soft mezzo-
tintS and sharp etchings, and
even onecolor print. comprise the
variety in the methods used.
There are portraits and land
Scapes, detailed architectural
drawings and again lines as wide
and free as q water colorist's
brush.

Lieut.. Immelmann, who destroyed Is,
and Capt. Boelke, who collided with
an enemy plane the day after he
brought down his 10th adversary.
Boelke, who always insisted on flying

planes shot from beneath him before
he succumbed.
The Germans reported on April 81,
that the Allies lost in two days "a

The biggest air battle in history
had been fought few days previous

British squadrons sent up to photo
graph new German positions and
bomb ammunition dumps and rail-
ways were attacked by a larger Ger

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

300 Years Ago Today-The General
Court of Connecticut colony declared
the first American war-on the Pc
quots, strongest of New England
tribes, who had subjugated the other
Amerindians of the northeast. The
white men struck quickly, killing men,
women and children, and burning
camp after camp, to drive the Pequots
to the west.
Taxes were raised to pay off the
wars cost and the soldiers. Natural
ly, however, the war veterans de-
manded bonuses, and since they had
votes they were given lands in what
is now New London county. The lead
ers in the fighting wrote their me-
moirs, and alterations arose as to
who won the war. Increased interest
in preparation for other wars as not

intending to travel on top and
soothe her tangled nerves with a
cigaret; and then, remembering
that she was in all probability
worth million and half dollars
she was a little vague as to how
much that represented in English
pounds, but she had a comfortable
feeling that it must be quite a lot
of money-she hailed a passing
taxi and got in.
When Jacqueline reached home
she found her mother in a state Of
feverish agitation. She was in her
bedroom, fussing over a half-dozen
evening dresses which were draped
over the chairs and spread out on
the bed. But Jacqueline was re-
lieved to note that the air of pa
tient resignation had vanished and
that the tendency toward fearful
ness was no longer apparent.

Jacqueline entered the room. IT

shouldn't invite me to dinner?
We're to go to the theater after

doubt that if I gave him just the
slightest hint we should have a lit

"And you're really going, moth

my dear Jacqueline why

Jacqueline shrugged shoulder.

not to marry Jim Asson, 2 really

from this dreadful fiat, and I don't

little enjoyment"

quite charming"

threatened to go to the police about

MY dear, I knew he didn't mean
that. And he apologized quite
nicely when he telephoned-said he
was afraid he had lost his temper
with you this morning and said a
great many things he didn't mean,
and would go to dinner with him
just to show that I had forgiven
him. Of course, 1 told him there

That was sweet of you, mother"
I'm never rude to anyone who
invites me to dinner, Jacqueline.
But in any case there was no occa-
sion to be rude to Colonel Lutman.

grateful to him. He told me on
the telephone that just to show
how penitent he was he had

and began rapidly signaling to the

He dropped the receiver and ran
toward the door. But he was too
late; it closed with a bang as he
reached it, and he heard the lock
cllck over. He turned, hurried
through the communicating door
into his bedroom, and so into the
corridor. But as he reached the
front door of his flat and flung it
open, the whine of the descending
elevator told him that pursuit was
useless. With a scowl he returned
to his sitting room and was just in
time, as he glared down at the
street from his window, to catch a
glimpse of Jacqueline, running
swiftly, rounding a corner and dis
appearing from view.

CHAPTER 81

CHAPTER 81
JACQUELINE saw Lut m a n
move toward her, and just for a
moment it seemed that all
strength had left her and she was
powerless to move. Then, as she
felt him touch her, and saw his
face close to hers, she placed her
hands against his chest and, with
a strength born of desperation,
thrust him furiously backward.
His arms released her and he stag
gered, clutching at the back of a
chair to steady himself. But be-
fore he had regained his balance
she had pulled open the drawer of
the writing desk, snatched out the
revolver, and was pointing it, in a
none too steady hand, straight at
the Colonel's body.
IF you come a step nearer, I'll
shoot"
For a moment, as he stood
tensed, with clenched hands, star
ing at her, she thought that he
was about to spring. Then he re-
Taxed and the familiar smile re-
turned to his lips.
"Your hand is shaking, Jacque-
line," he said calmly, land if
you're not very careful that re-
volver may go Of"
eff you move, it WILL"
He shook his head.
II don't think so, my dear. You
have too much intelligence. A
shot, corpse, rif1ed desk, and
an agitated young woman with a
revolver in her hand-it would
make a pretty tableau when the
police arrived, and quite a con-
vincing bit of evidence. You
realize that as well as I do. Put
the revolver down."
'No!"
Then once again you leave me
no choice"
He stepped toward her, calm and
unconcerned, with his gaze fixed
on her eyes, and though she raised
the revolver an inch or two, point
ing it straight at his heart, and
placed her finger on the trigger,
he did not waver. And the next
moment she felt his hand grip her
wrist and the revolver wrenched
from her grasp. Lutman slipped
it into his pocket.
