About the Cover: by Ethel A.

Again we have a cover picture by that cowboy artist, Olaf Wieghorst,
of New York City. Last fall the Madison Square Garden program
featured Wieghorst's etchings of cowboy subjects in a double
page spread besides using a few as spots here and there through
the pages.
As we've told you before, Olaf Wieghorst is a mounted policeman
in Central Park, New York City. Doubtless he is doing a fine
job of policing, but the artists who can turn out work like the
horse's head on our cover are few and far between and we wish
he were spending all his time on art work. Just take another
look at it and see if you don't agree. It's in a class by itself
and there's nothing a person can say about it that would add
to it.
