same. One day, while we were at
a horse show, another horse acted
up ana scared Jitterbug. The next
thing knew, I was on the ground.
Another time, while I was riding
him, another horse, kicking at him,
missed and kicked me in the leg.
This scared Jitterbug, and he
bucked me of.
My father and older brother are
horse lovers and have taught DON
aid many interesting tricks, like
making Jitterbug rear up, prance
and buck. 1t is our hope that some
day Donald will be great horse

7 he Art Word
Works of 18th Century Italian Etchers
On View in the National Gallery of Art

three artists deliberately tried to be
original. 1t was their birthright
They could not escape it. In their
work they forgot themselves. This
is as true today as then.
Efchings and Lithograbhs
By Lester G. Hornby
I Under the auspices of the divi-
sion of graphic arts of the United
States National Museum a collec-
ton of etchings and nthographs of
Paris and rural France by Lester
G. Hornby is now on view in the
Smithsonian Building.
These prints cover 80 years of
endeavor on the part of the artist
who, from the time he turned to
etching at the age of 20, has been
an enthusiastic technician. But one
will find in these prints something
more than technique-careful choice
of subject and evident enthusiasm
in its transcription. Obviously their
views of Paris and the French coun-
tryside are of especial interest to
us all today. That they are true,
and hence significant, is testified by
an extract from critical comment
made by Louis Thomas in La France
as follows:
After living in a city for a long
time one reaches a point where one
no longer really sees it. The great
value of etchings and drawings,
such as these by Hornsby, is that
they make us see and appreciate the
thousand and one beauties of ia
miliar and charming corners of old
Paris, where we used to take our
walks when we were young, in the
days when we were wise enough to
take the time to be idle. Hornby
takes us again through these pleas
ant and refreshing streets. We find
the narrow balconies, the curious
lpasSageways, the little restaurants of
the Latin quarter. and we realize
better the wealth of charm of the
most human of capitals and hos
pitable of cities"
AS the years have passed Mr..
Hornby's work has become simpler
and more vital. He appears to be
more engaged than he was with
brevity of statement, of dealing with
the essential. Both points of view
have their merits.
The plates that Mr.. Hornby exc
cuted in 1885 and which he left in
Paris were carried off by the Nazis
only because of the value of their
metal. From the majority of these
only 20 impressions had been made.
Lester G. Hornby was born in
Lowell, Mass, and studied art first
at the Rhode Island School of De-
sign in Providence and then in
Paris. He served as war correspond
ent for Harper's Magazine 1918,
and he is the author and illustrator
of several books of travel. Among
his awards is a medal of honor,
Paris International, 1887. He is
represented in the leading mu-
seums of this country and Europe.
At present he has his studio and
home at Rockport, Mass.
This exhibition will continue until
April 8.

Washington Efchers
AT the Arts Club

The Society OF washington Etch-
ers' eleventh annual exhibition set
forth In the Arts Club, 2017 I street
NV, is an engaging little show, sur
prisingly diverse and at the same
time comprehensive. 1t comprises
works in the various media etching,
dry point, aquatint, hthography
etc., and witnesses to an unexpect-
edly high degree of technical pro-
ficiency on the part Of the print
makers.
The greatest progress seems to be
in the field Of lithography, several
exhibitors contributing works In this
medium Of outstanding merit. Prem
tiss Taylor, the president OF the
society, is, for instance, seen at his
best in lithograph entitled "Siesta,
Mount Cassina," which Is essentially
dramatic, serious and profound, an
allegory which needs no explana-
tion-a print once seen not to be
forgotten. In interesting contrast,
and also arresting, is a nthograph
of a lobster stranded on a rocky
shore by the fast fallen tide. It is
by Stow Wengenroth, one of our
most accomplished American lith-
ographers.
Hanging on the same wall as these
is an unusual and impressive print
by Reginald Street Of
the Goats, Taxco"-which shows on
the part Of the artist greatly in
creased strength and control in con-
ception and execution.
In the conservative manner of the
past there are charming etchings of
building, urban scenes, by John Tay-
lor Arms, Sgd Browne and others,
covetable possessions, purchasable
at very low cost for masterpieces,
which they are. Alan Crane shows
two works-a memorable ithograph
and sensitive etching-the compo-
Isition of the former including two
little Mexican burros and is very
well balanced-the latter a we'll
remembered street in Gloucester,
done with grave simplicity.
From Ruel p. Tolman, curator of
the Division of Graphic Arts of the
Smithsonian and National Museum,
is shown two etched landscapes, well
seen and executed. Minnie Briggs
Raul is represented by an exquisite
etching Of a spiders web on clump
OF Queen AIMS lace. From Inez
Demonet has come an excellent color
etching - Street in Cavite" well
drawn and colorfully rich and tone
full, while in higher key, but very
charming, are two color etchings BY
Benson Moore of water fowl seen
In their natural habitats by the
cold, pale light of winter mornings.
With these and other contempo-
rary works are shown, presumably
as exemplary and indicative of the
continuity of the art, number of
prints by such early masters as
Dufer, Schongauer and Mantegna-
but they do not seem to Belong in
the assembly, speaking the language
OF another day and country. Also,
there are included in the showing a
number of prints, large in size and
purely abstract in subject-matter.
Perhaps they are well done, but they
are in completely foreign language
and hence, to the majority, utterly
incomprehensible. They are not
graphic-they are not sane. What,
then, can be their significance? The
art that has endured is not of this
kind. 1t does not mystify-its we'll
spring is beauty and it addresses
itself to one and all

MARINES "CRACKENG UP" IN SHANGHAI

SHANGHAI, Dec. 31 Morale of homesick U. s. Marines in North China was described by Stars and Stripes today as cracking up" be- cause the Leathernecks "are con- vinced they are merely pawns in political chess game"
 The China theater edition of the Army newspaper, in Tientsin- datelined article by News Editor Sgt. Dick Wilson of Belle Rose, N. Y, said the Marines refused to believe it is necessary for them to guard Chinese railroads and British-owned coal properties. Wilson wrote that incidents had decreased during the past month, but that Marine casualties were higher than reports have in- Qicated.
 The Army neWsman went on:
 Nightly jags, mourning buddies who fell in Pacific campaigns, a bit Of joint-wrecking, brawls with civilians and Marines, an occasional show of arms and sometimes more than just a show-these are the manifestations of the cracking-up of Americas fighting men who have had too much fighting and want to go home so desperately that nothing else means anything l to them"

Combat Unit Cited
BY King George
Now Service Outfit

With Delta Base Troops, Marseil
lie, France.-Inactive elements Of
the first two Negro combat units
to arrive in Europe are now at the
Delta Base Section in Southern
France. Dissolved a few months be-
fore the end of the war in Europe,
and converted into service units,
the former combat outfits are link
ed up in an about push to speed
redeployment of Pacific bound
troops.
The former fighting men of the
450th antiaircraft Artillery Battal
ion which was cited four times by
King George VI and General Mark
w. Clark, when he was the Fifth
Army's Commanding General, have
been regrouped into different SER
vice units
One hundred men of the two
units were recently organized into
engineers and designated as the
1083rd Engineer Maintenance Com
pany. This is the only Negro unit
of its kind in Europe and one of
80 such units in the United States
Army. Other antiaircraft units
have been given similar positions.
Most of the men served in two
theatres with assignments in Eng
land, North Africa, Italy and in
France. Many of the soldiers have
more than so points but have vol
unteered to remain in the service.
General Clark, when command
ing Negro troops, cited the con-
tribution of the 450th upon three
occasions. Their latest citation
came in August, 1914, after King
George VI inspected the troops in
Italy. The outfit was praised for
meat and soldierly appearance, for
, clean and polished looks of equip
ment, <denoting pride of all con-
cerned."
