TILE FOR BOOK ENDS 
Design, Tree of Knowledge 
USE ordinary soft tile 6x6. Tint the background with 
dull old ivory or putty tone. Trunk and branches of 
tree wood brown enamel. Leaves two tones of green and 
fruit bright orange. The black outline should be strong and 
decorative. A weak outline would detract from the effective- 
ness of the design. The tile should be set in frame of soft 
brown wood. 
ART NOTES 
The Zoloaga Exhibit which was shown in the Minneapolis 
Institute of art during July and August was an example of 
what an independent thinker and worker can accomplish. 
Zoloaga is practically self taught and his work is individual 
in the extreme. As a delineator of character and a painter 
of textiles he is exceptional and his coloring fairly takes one's 
breath. His nudes are materialistic — even vicious; his back- 
grounds decorative in the extreme. His peasants are human, 
characteristic and interesting and the exhibit as a whole strong 
and inspirational. 
The first meeting of the twin City Keramic Club was 
held at the State Fair Grounds onSeptember 7th. A picnic 
lunch was served and the club attended the Art Exhibit in a 
body. The 1917-18 officers were installed and plans for local 
work and the suggestion for a National League were discussed. 
Mrs. C. H. Dice, former President of the Portland, Ore. 
Keramic Club has been visiting in Minnesota and the middle 
West during the summer months. While in the Twin Cities 
she was the guest of Mrs. Henrietta Barclay Paist.

"CO-OPERATIVE LEAGUE OF CHINA DECORATORS" 
OUR Editor has sounded a call to the colors (mineral colors) 
and has suggested the best possible solution to the 
problem which confronts Keramic Art. It remains with the 
workers to act on the suggestion. A conference of representa- 
tives from the Clubs all over the country would probably be 
necessary. That is the way other business would go about it. 
We once had such an organization — and the fact that it ceased 
to exist is not because the need was removed but was due 
probably to lack of sound business principles and co-operation. 
The need for concerted action is more imperative than at 
any time in the history of Keramic Art in this country. The 
point of view of Clubs and Societies is too local and the spirit 
too competitive. The world must see that co-operation not
