...picture there are wide paths of color applied with a large brush, and all the interest of the artist is primarily in contrasting and mixing shades. The lemons on the table are lacking in form, and the glass is nothing but an outline of white. The whole has little depth; all is subordinated to color. After seeing this picture, it is amazing to see what a master like Georg Crosz can do with the same methods. In the brutal "Brotherly Love," he achieves wonders with his medium. He employs color to express his emotions, and without the violent reds...
...President Roosevelt was a PWA allotment of 18 million lend-spend dollars, representing 45% of the cost of a $40,000,000 7.6-mile subway system which Chicago must start building before January 1, and must have substantially completed by June 30, 1940. To be tunneled at a depth of 35 feet through the stratum of blue clay underlying Chicago's 25 feet of largely-filled in elevation above Lake Michigan, its two lines will lead from existing "L" trackage on the North Side, shortcutting some trains into the "Loop" from outlying areas with time savings of as much...
Although his book is just off the press, Professor Haldane. when writing it a few weeks ago, thought there was yet time for London to start on a two-year program of digging 1,000 miles of brick-lined tunnels at a depth of 60 feet in which the entire metropolitan population of 8,000,000 could be sheltered. Estimated cost: $2,000,000,000. The professor, while noting that many Britons have told him they would rather die than live thus under conditions which would make them part-time moles, resolutely insisted that Spain has proved the fallacy...

Critics found them fully abstract, only remotely Freudian, with more depth and movement than most abstract paintings. This was because Artist Ferren has the .inventiveness to paint curving forms in space which are as interesting and satisfactory to look at as, say, a page of designs for ships' propellers, done in color...
...hills. Designed to bolster the island's limited revenues, the new petroleum law passed by the legislature all but forces activity on concessions by requiring each concessionaire to drill within five years at least one well to 4,000 feet unless oil is struck at lesser depth; the alternative to such exploitation is Government confiscation...
