COMMUNICATION

Editor of Empire-Re: Mrs. Hol- den, Dick Harris. The Empire vs. .Seaweed;
 The way see it is that it does not make any difference who ap- piled the seaweed or whose garden received the application, as long as it was applied. Somebody's garden will be greatly improved by the ap- plication.
 If it will help the Empire or Mrs Holden, l will make a special trip to her home to expound the theory in detail
 But, I do believe the Daily AL aska Empire should be taken to task for not using this as an ex- ample to all gardeners in the Gas tineau Channel area Regardless in what form humus is applied. every break in the weather should be used to spread and incorporate this vital soil compound into your garden, or your friends, as the case may be. There is a chance that that is what Mrs. Holden thought. (Signed) TED CARTER.

hibitions.
The Cadmus show, including
etchings and sketches which have
been reproduced in Life magazine,
has the same lusty earthiness of
John Steinbeck's writing, a fact
which should be kept in mind by
the gallery visitors if they are to
appreciate the artists very real

es making up the exhibition. They
are Cadmus at his earthiest. In
the first two, the sensual quality
is brought out by an emphasis on
the limbs Of the sailors and worn-
en-, and also by the crowding Of
many figures into limited space.
In "Coney Island" the gross IL
overplayed with lack Of subtlety.
The single nude sketches show
the artists feeling for line and de-
tail. Here, as in the etchings, the
figures are alive. They have a
sense of repose absent from the
figures of the etchings, which is
probably true because the artist in
the latter has deliberately exag.
gerated to obtain q certain atmos.
,hcre.
In the etchings, Cadnnus has a
tendency to crowd his space with
muscular figures. Drawn with the
surcness Of student Of anatomy,
the figures nevertheless show a
definite tendency to exaggeration
in stressing the sense Of the physi-
cal which the arts wishes to por-
tray.
