Last week Director Vesto Melvin Slipher of Lowell Observatory (Flagstaff, Ariz.) told how Earth must look to Mars. The Martian astronomer sees a planet bluer than Venus and bigger. If he looks sharp he can see the polar caps shrinking and spreading with the change of seasons.

You will find Titian's "Charles V," and you will rejoice if you like that portrait; you will also find Botticelli's "Venus," Raphael's "Julius II," and Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper," but not Leonardo's "Mona Lisa," which is of course so popular a selection that it is both proper and fair for its place to be taken by a nude like Titian's "Danae," which is often omitted...
