italy has followed Great Britain
and France in expressing friendship,
appreciation and good will for the
United States by sending a loan
from its great art treasure. 1t will
be recalled that France last year
sent over an invaluable collection
OF tapestries representing seven
centuries. The year before, Britain
sent a collection of paintings by her
great masters, Hogarth, Constable
and Turner. Italy has lent life
size marble figure by Michelangelo,
of a youth probably representing
David, but also known as Apollo,
which will be placed on view in the
National Gallery of Art, beginning
with the reception following Presi-
dent Truman's inauguration.
The imposing work, heavily Grated,
arrived by truck under Navy guard
at the Fourth street entrance of the
gallery Friday and was received in
fitting ceremony by officials. The
ocean passage was made aboard the
u. s. s. Grand Canyon, the van
meeting the boat at Norfolk Naval
Base.
Michelangelo, sculptor. painter,
architect and poet, the outstanding
genius Of the Renaissance, and con-
sidered by some authorities as fcre-
most in the history of art after the
Greeks of the great epoch, is one OF
the very few old masters represented,
only with minor works in this
country tin his case, drawings.
The marble David is beautiful

Museum in Florence. The master
began it in his Sos, when he was
working on the Medici tombs and
chapel, for which presumably it was
intended.

Newest Medium
Silk screen prints from the Ma
tional Serigraph Society will re-
main on view in the gallery of the
King Smith Foundation until
New Years Day. Since there have
been other exhibitions Of original
silk screen prints in Washington
in previous years, and examples
included in group shows, the pub
lie should be fairly well acquainted
with the medium. Nevertheless, 1t
remains the newest art form, hav-
ing been developed little over a
decade ago, under the WPA. Its
popularity is undoubtedly due to
the fact that colorful original
works in this medium by recog-
nized artists can be obtained for
modest prices Gin the present col
lection, from $3.50 to $15). These
serigraphs (as the original silk
screen prints are called are made
in limited editions. as are etchings,
Woodcuts,. autographs and other
original prints. Some OF the items
in the current show have received
awards, and a number have been
acquired for permanent collections.

Smith are by the late Marion Cum
ningham, among them the excel
lent Golden Gate Bridge"

tive to abstract. The Golden

Stonemason's Version
1.-THE most reliable authority, I
have had many occasions to quote.
was an old man (William Burgess.
a stonemason of Alexandria, whom
! employed at Mount Vernon from
1885 until he died, 1893.
Burgess was an apprentice brick
layer and helped in building the new
tomb, and was present when the
remains of Gen. Washington and
others were moved april 10, 183D
from the old tomb to the new. Only
few members Of the Washington
family were present then, and this
18-year- -old lad (Burgess) was with
them when they determined to open
the leaden casket to assure them
selves of the identity of what 1t
inclosed. They all expressed aston
ishment, when the face of the gen.
eral was revealed, to observe how
little his facial expression Judging
from portraits) had changed In the
30-odd years since his death. But
the sealed leaden casket had been
the reason of preservation Of form
Burgess oft-repeated testimony
was to the effect that after the
face had been exposed for q few
minutes there was an eppreciable
change noticed by all; falling in
of the features quickly occurred.
If there had been alcohol used this
wouldn't have occurred. No alcohol
was subsequently put in tie casket,

MURDERER'S MISTAKE
BY E. c. r. Lorac. (Mystery
| Hnnce. e.

Giles Hoggett, farmer and re-
tired bookseller, took one look at
the woodpile in his Lancashire cot
tage and knew something was
wrong. Why would q pair Of home
made andirons, q sack, O salmon
reel and a pair Of discarded spec
tacles disappear? Giles suspected
a couple of potters, but he took his
story to Chief Inspector Macdonald.
That worthy, detecting at ter
rife rate. could never have solved
the mystery without the help Of
Katherine and Giles Hoggett. They
could interpret life and character
in the North Country, thereby un-
covering evidence that the chief
inspector might have missed.
Mr.. Lorac takes his time while
the chief inspector enjoys the folk
ways Of the Lancashire country, but
his cerebration pays of in this slow
paced tale OF murder in such i'm
probably named spots as Jacobs
Buttery.
