This highly illustrated book gives an extensive analysis of his early works from 1913 through 1919, and his return to tradition and quarrel with the surrealists in the 20's. De Chirico's iconography of trains, cannons, towers, statues and toys' is discussed at. length along with the plastic values of his paintings, their organizations, color value and technique.

In fact, this book gives the lay- man, as well as the artist, an understanding of this controversial Italian artist, who repudiated his own brilliant youth after founding one of the most significant movements of 20th Century Italian art. The author, James Thall Soby, was an intimate friend of "Yves Tanguy," the subject and title of his other book. He traces the twenty-eight year period of Tan-guy's career, from his early work in Paris in the 1920's, to the culminating masterpiece of his life "Multiplication of Arc's," completed only a few months before his death, which occured in January, 1955. He also analyzes and discusses the development of Tanguy's art, giving" a clear and sympathetic, picture of the artist as a Since the Auchincloss Foundation owns ah excellent example of a y's work, and, undoubtedly, it will be on display from time to time here in Oklahoma, this book holds added interest. The other book we bring to your attention is.

of Painting," edited by Bernard S. Myers. It is the best book of this type we have seen; written in English, it has a fund of information. It has been on our desk only a week or two, but we have had cause to refer to it several times and quickly found the information we were seeking. It was compiled by an American staff of authorities on various periods and schools of art; its world coverage is truly comprehensive and thorough.

In fact, its more than 3,000 entries cover almost every aspect of painting through the ages and throughout the world. Since we mentioned the two books on Oriental art, we might add that this Encyclopedia contains articles and illustrations on this same subject that would make a highly creditable volume in itself. Highschool students who intend to enter the 15th annual state-' wide competition sponsored by Ihe American Association of University Women, should keep in mind that the dead line for receiving entries at the Oklahoma Art Center is 5 p.m., March 28; this is also true for grade school entries. Scholarships offered this year represent one full year's tuition to each of the following state schools: Tulsa University, Oklahoma University and Oklahoma College for Women. All works selected by the jury will be hung at the Center April 15 May 6.

Since a display of work from the art department of Tulsa University is current at the Center, it gives the competing students a rare opportunity to study work from one of the institutions offering scholarships. This show was reviewed last week, so it leaves the writer free to tell our readers a bout: some recently published art books that have come to our desk. While not an art book, "Whispering Wind" by Colonel Red lieeder (New York; Dual'. Sloan and Pcarc Boston: Little, Brown) deserves mention here, because it was illustrated by Oklahoma's own Charles Banks Wilson. These have all the imagi- nation, action, design and expert draughtsmanship one expects to find in any work by this talented Miami artist.

"The Landscape Painting of china and Japan" by Hugo Munsterberg (Charles E. Tuttle Co.) is a good companion for last year's successful "The Floating World" by James A. Michencr. It, too, is profusely illustrated, in fact, there are over a hundred black and white plates. It should have a wide appeal to artists and connoisseurs, and certainly has a 1 a in public libraries for its authoritative information.

The author devotes much more space to the art of China than to that of Japan, and rightly so, for it was the Chinese landscape paintings that proved the inspiration for the great masters of the Japanese wood-block. From the Museum of Modern Art, the publishers of two other books received: "Yves Tanguy" and "Giorgio dc Chirico," were both written by James Thrall Soby; they prove to be quite exciting reading.

Automation Has Limits and most of the auto plants are really big than to medium-sized ones. "It is easier," according to the ASTE report, "to automate manuiaciure ot an engine, a transmission, or an axle, than to automate production of a complete automobile." However, ASTE said that should automation take hold on a broader scale the "big-plant" concept as being the most efficient would be discarded and the medium-sized pTant would get the nod.

Most important of the ASTE findings is that "as far as industry can see today, automation eventually can be applied to about 16 percent of all manufacturing operations in the metalworking industries."

But we neglect to turn this to our own advantage." He suggested doctors could gain much knowledge from listening to such conversations. Doctor Carter also commented on the number of people who avoid seeing their physician even when really ill. which production is relatively continuous on one or two products," the survey stated.
