One.Man Show of Wartime Paintings
Is Striking Exhibition at Whyte
Bv FLORENCE s. Berryman,

tions at the Corcoran and Phillips
Memorial Galleries, as well as with
the I'm Transit" group recently.
The present collection of more
than 20 works Is an eight-year re-
prospective. 1t includes pen-and-
ink and wash drawings, Autographs
in black and white and in color. The
earlier works, dated 1887 and 1898,
may be new" to most Washingto-
mans, for when he made these Mr.
Kainen was living in Waterbury,
Conn, where he was born in 1909.
In the reviewers opinion, the
earlier works serve as q gauge of
the artists ability. Cement Mixer" /"
five-color lithograph of an in
dustrial subject dated 1880, and
Banana Man" mot dated but ap-
parently of the same period are
vivid captures of the scenes, with
q touch. of distortion for emphasis,
The same can be said. Of Waitress, .
black and white lithograph of 1898.
"Copyist," also Of that year tanother
print of which Is included in the
Artists Guild exhibition now ut the
Division of Graphic Arts, United
States National Museum), Is more
satirical.
AS the years have passed, Mr.. Kali
nen has become increasingly expert
mental and expressionistic. His line
is coarser and his subject matter In
many instances has become SYM
bolic and full of significance which
eludes the average mind. In THE
Struggle" for instance. there Is only
one figure, presumably at odds with
itself. But the reviewer is stymied
by Gage of Battle" in which one
male nude seems to be squaring
on for a fight with another; yet both
wear crowns, and the atmosphere is
too sinister to suggest anything so
uncomplcated as a prize tight be-
tween two champions.
At any rate, Mr.. Kainen is not
sinking into q rut. One feels sure
he is going somewhere, even though
his road at present may appear a
triae rocky to the laity.

In many pet shops you can now
buy a silent" dog whistle. It is
pitched so high that no matter how
hard you blow it, human ears can't
detect any sound at all. Yet dogs
hear the whistles notes and this
fact offers room for speculation
about how many other sounds there
may be which human beings do not
hear.
There are records of people who
have claimed that they have heard
mice singing. Far from doubling
such claims, physicists state that
certain people are endowed with the
rare gift of being able to hear
extremely high-pitched noises and
so may actually have listened to a
mouse serenade. In the same way,

TITS really triple game" former
Socialist Premier Leon Blum ex-
claimed privately in 1912, while be-
ing tried at Riom by Petain's
judges, "' He plays the part
Of a man playing double game"
But greater than the mystery of
Petain's double game" and what
was behind it, or the mystery Of
how far he really hoped to carry
his self-designated authoritarian"
views. or the mystery of the un-
doubted hold he had on many Of
the most widely disagreeing ele-
ments among the French, is one
which is likely only to be heightened
by the trial.
1t is: How does he do 1t at his
age?
Marvel at vigor.
One day, after we had seen Pierre
Laval dart furtively from the gov
ernment building into his waiting
car while guards wish drawn re-
volvers scanned every spectator, the
marshal stepped out with military
bearing for one Of his customary
walks, alone and unguarded, In
vichy's small public park.

never would admit his part was

then skyrocketed to military fame.

ish leader, Cortez, invaded Mexico,
and with him came number of
cavalrymen. Old records tell about
the surprise of the Aztecs when, for
the first time, they saw men riding
on the backs of horses.
A few years later, De Soto landed
in Florida with horses and soldiers.
He and some OF his men rode horse
back to the Mississippi River.
Other Spaniards, under Coronado,
made their way northward from
Mexico In 1541. They entered land
which now makes up New Mexico,
Colorado and Kansas. The party
took several kinds of livestock along,
including horses.
During their travels, these Span
iards and others lost some of their
horses. The beasts strayed away
and could not be captured again.
AS time went on, bands of wild
horses were seen in the Rocky
Mountain area, in California, and in
plains east of the Rockies. These
were the beasts which were lost, or
their offspring.
Indians Captured Some.
Learning how useful the strange
beasts could be, Indian warriors
found ways to capture and tame
them. At length, they developed
the breed Of Indian ponies.
We usually think of ponies as be-
ing small, but those of the Indians
were nearly as large as ordinary
horses. They proved strong and
wiry. The Indians were SO greatly
pleased with these beasts of burden
that they fell into the habit of
stealing them. One tribe would steal
from another and the tribes in gen.
eral were glad when they were able
to steal from white men.
In Europe and Asia horses rank
among the ancient domestic ami
mails. 1t Is believed that dogs were
tanned In Europe before horses, but
the horse probably was tanned late
in the Stone Age, and surely was
tame animal in the Bronze Age. 1t
may be that sheep, goats and oxen
were tanned before horses.
Hunted in Stone Age.
Whether Stone Age men used
horses for riding Is a question, but
there seems to be no doubt that
these animals were hunted for food.
Great heaps of bones OF wild horses
have been found around caves in
France where Stone Age men used
to live. Many of these bones have
the marks of fire on them and 1t
appears to be plain that certain of
the bones were split open so the
marrow inside could be eaten.
Today there are herds of wild
horses In Western parts of the
United States, but all members of
those herds came from animals
which escaped from their masters
some time back.
We are told that the "only true
wild horses" in the world today are
those In Mongolia. In that land
there are herds of wild horses which
never have been kept as domestic
animals. This Is true Of the present
members Of the herds, and there is
no record to show that horses of
the same type were tanned at any
time in the past.
The wild horse herds In Mongolia
are small. Usually there are only
from S to Is OF them in each group.
An old stallion serves as the leader
In a herd.

moments, when prices ascend by
breath-taking leaps and the outcome
is awaited eagerly. Even non-par-
ticipants feel the strain and share
in anticipation. 1t is in these great
auctions that values are set and that
some of the great treasures of the
world change owners.
The Collecting Hobby
One Of the straightest and short
est roads to the appreciation of art
is ownership, and certainly there is
no hobby more fascinating than
that of collecting. Obviously even
freedom Of choice is important, the
buyer being obligated to use his own
discrimination, often to profit by
his own mistakes. This question of
self determination, Of testing one s

there were 8 or 10 children. First,
we would study the Bible and an

we would have a handwork period,
then other indoor and outdoor play

Next, we all would 60 together as

Have you ever wanted to be a
big game hunter? Have you
wanted to experience the thrill of
capturing some rare and perhaps
previously unknown living thing?
OF course, you havel Every one
Graves adventure.
Here is suggestion for new
hobby that will provide all those
thrills that "big game" hunters and
other adventurers seek-and this
hunt can start right in your own
back yard.
Why not become bug hunter
(entomologist is the correct name)
and carve out career for yourself
in one of the most interesting OF the
sciences?
Insect hunting can begin at once
anywhere. Under the rose bush
in the yard, along the walk to school
in the public park, or among the
rows of vegetables in the garden
The hunting grounds are right at
hand--and full of game.
Equipment Needed.
Then, too, the equipment for this
big game" hunting is simple and
easy to obtain. A small hand lens
or maynifying glass is almost an
essential. For butterflies, moths and
other flying insects small net Is
desirable. For water insects, q dip
net is useful.
Should you want to collect and
preserve your specimens, other cheap
but essential equipment is needed
A "killing bottle" can easily be made
and carried with you on your hikes
Common straight pins can be used
to fasten dead insects to piece OF
cardboard and. of course, a, good
student of insects labels each speci-
men accurately. Care must be taken
