I "The first group to go abroad left In 1880 and were railed the Hoosier i GpouPl They were painters and wiiile each developed his own stylo, each loved Indiana scenery and put I it on canvass until it was known 1 all over our lands. Foot? of these paintings have been hung in foreign galleries. Our early Indiana ar1 lists of the Hoosier Group were T. C. Steel, J. Otis Adams, Samuel Richards and wife. Carrie Wolf, August Metzner. William Forsyth. Otto Stark and Richard Gruelle. Os this group al) wen* Hoosiers by Inrth except Forsyth and Gruelle, who was Hoosiers by adoption. “Indiana not only can boast of fine painters but of fine sculptors i«s well. Os the latter we have the I names of Rudolph Sehwartr, Janet j Schudder and George Gray Barnard. ' A long line of artists is daily coming to the attention of the artistic | minded world and Indiana may be 1 most proud of them. Art centers in Indiana are Herron Art Institute In Indianapolis. Art Association of Richmond organized in 1577. Fort Wayne Art School of Fort Wayne, Art Association in Muncie and the Art League of Marion. The spread of interest in art in Indiana schools is practically statewide and is creating a definite discriminating taste for better decoration, pictures i of worth and architicure of intricate ■ v slue.” The next meeting will be held January twenty-third, with Mrs. H.

I cycle of Hardy family pictures has been to make Mickey Rooney one I of the top box office stars of the day. . . . But the cycle also has been a bonanza to the players in : Twentieth Century-Fox’s “Jones Family.” Four of the group (Flori ence Roberts, Jed Prouty, George Ernest and June Carlson) now own homes for the first time in their lives. Another, Ken Howell, is building and Spring Byington has bought a lot and will build. The usually hard-to-handle Errol Flynn wants to make a two-minute : advertising trailer free to help Warners boost “Confessions of a Nazi Spy.” Flynn isn't even in the picture, but approves of the theme. Tough luck for Tom Collins, young Broadway actor who got his first screen role in “Bum ’Em Up O’Connor.” . . . Just before the preview went on, Collins’ wife was taken ill and had to be rushed from the theater to the hospital, where she underwent an emergency appendectomy.

Mrs. Nora i Bixler gave a paper. “1 Plant What i L like” She said that the day has j come when nearly every home has 1 its own flower garden, some small and others large, but all planted acl cording to the taste of the individual. Much study should be taken before planting a garden so as to have it attractive as well as always blooming.

Because this revolutionary mechanical invention (patent applied for) automatically helps to keep wheels on their course—on rough roads, in heavy side winds, even when a tire blows. The operation of AUTO-POISE CONTROL does not require special tires, tubes or extra equipment of any kind. It is standard at no extra cost on all 1939 Hudson passenger cars; NO OTHER CAR HAS ANYTHING LIKE IT.
