A—10 1. ARTEXHBT TO OPEN TUESDA Work Done Under Treasury Unit to Be Displayed at Corcoran. Murals, easel paintings and sculp- tures created by some 350 artists for roximately 200 public buildings— mostly post offices—will be exhibited under auspices of the Treasury De- partment Art Projects at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, beginning Tuesday and continuing through December 13. Officials in charge of the unusual now assert it will be the first mural ~xhibition of its scope ever held in his country. Virtually every school cf thought in art and every medium f expression will be included in the cxhibition. The artists will be widely represent- “tive of the American fleld, ranging | om hitherto “unknowns” on W. P. A. clls to such outstanding masters as Teon Kroll, Maurice Sterne, George Siddle, Henry Varnum Poor, Reginald ‘arsh, Charles Crimi, Karl Free, Heinz Warnecke, William Zorach, Sterling Calder and Sidney Waugh. “Evolution” of Mural. The visitor to the show will be cble to trace the *“evolution” of a| mural from the artist's first rough pencil sketch to the full-size com- pleted work of art. In addition, a realistic conception of how some of the murals will appear on the walls of the Federal buildings for which | they were designed will be obtainable | from architectural models. ; Most of the works were selected | from designs submitted in a Federal | art competition by some 2,000 artists. They include oil paintings, water col- ors, about 300 preliminary sketches, life drawings, sculpture in stone, plas- ter and metal, wood carvings, frescoes and novel murals on linoleum. The majority of the work was done by voung artists of whom little or nothing was known prior to the com- petition. A complete cross-section of work done during the past two years under the Treasury's art program will be represented. A number of the artists were “on | relief” when they competed for the | opportunity of decorating the Govern- | ment's postal stations, hospitals and | other structures. Others were paid | out of the regular appropriation pro- vided for the section of painting and sculpture. procurement division. office of the supervising architect of the Treasury. This is the first and only Federal program to co-ordinate archi- | tecture, sculpture and painting. Local Citizens Aid Project. Committees of local citizens have zided in the projects by stimulating interest of artists in the competition and supplying valuable local informa- tion of historical, geographical and industrial nature for the guidance of | the artists. | A number of specific appointments | were made without regard to compe- tition in the case of artists whose | work was nationally recognized for its | quality, it was pointed owt, The whole Federal art program is | directed by Edward Bruce with Forbes Watson as adviser. It is under the supervising architect, Louis A. Simon, | and the director of procurement, Rear | Admiral Christian Joy Peoples.

Regirfient Mourns W hisky, a Mule, But What a Mule! Old Age Finally Downs Army Pet After Long Service. B the Associated Press. NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., November 14—The men of the 28th Infantry mourned s mule today, but, they hasten to assure you, he wasn't an whenoe he eame. He survived a war, s bandit hunting trip, an order to kill all old mules—but he couldn't beat old age. Some of the regiment’s oldsters say Whisky was with the 28th's mule corps at Fort Snelling, Minn, in 1910. He was on the Mexican border and hauled s gun into Vers Crus He went to France with the regiment, sniffed the smoke of many battles. Experts in muledom placed his age at 42, and that was why, when the order went out a year ago to destroy all old and surplus animals in the service, the 28th trembled for Whisky. A unanimous protest won him an exemption, but Whisky was on the downgrade. He 'moved feebly if he moved at all. So Pvt. Walter Moskal, the 28th’s best shot, stroked Whisky's bullet-like head, scratched him behind the ears —and shot him this week. A Open a “J. L.” Budget Account.
