FAIR PRACTICE TRADE BILL TO HAVE HEARING

Public Opinion Is Sought on Measure to Regulate Business. Public hearing on H. B. 161, a measure designed to prevent unfair competition among retailers and manufacturers of Indiana, will be held next Wednesday night in the Statehou.se. Rep B H. Rockey <D, Sharpsville). chairman of the Corporations Committee, said he understood that the bill was aimed at chain stores. The measure has teeth in it by making it a misdemeanor to give secret rebates, relunds, or unearned discounts and setting a fine of from SIOO to SSOO or six months imprisonment for violation of this sectioon or both a fine and a sentence to jail. Utility Bill Delayed Fear that the consumer might have to pay for passage of the bill resulted yesterday in the House Corporations Committee voting indefinitely to postpone a bill providing for a 3 per cent rental rate, monthly, on gross receipts of public utilities for use of streets and alleys of cities and towns. The bill was termed by Rep. Roy J Harrison <R., Attica > as a measure that might end in higher utility rates. Primary Bill Opposed S C 71, the measure sponsored by the League of Women Voters, designed to strengthen the primary laws, today appeared to be due for rough sledding. While feeling that the present primary setup is far from perfect, Statehouse politicians feel that the measures proposed are impractical. The Committee on Elections held a second hearing yesterday with members of the League of Women Voters and promised to report on the measure as soon as two other primary bills are studied for possible conflicting sections. A divided committee report is predicted when the measure finally is taken under consideration. CITY BUSINESSES TO BUY NEW LICENSES Delinquent Drive to Start Next Friday, Officials Say.

BV JOHN W. THOMPSON SATURDAY evening, Jan. 26. at 8:30, the preview of the Eleventh Annual Hoosier Salon will be held in the Marshall Field galleries in Chicago. The program for the opening night of the exhibit, which is sponsored by the Hoosier Salon Patroas Association, will include musical numbers by a group of Indiana radio and stage artists. Phil Maxwell, Chicago Tribune staff member, will act as master of ceremonies for the program which is a decided change from the usual formal opening. The artists whose work is on display will be honor guests at the occasion and at the conclusion of the entertainment, John T. McCutcheon, one of the originators of the salon idea, will anounce the distribution of more than S3OOO in prize awards. a a a THE Memorial Exhibition of the work of Gan Melchers, one of the current displays at the John Herron Art Museum, is an interesting example of the transition of an artist's outlook on life. Mr Melchers began the study of art at 17, when he was sent by his father, an American sculptor, to the Royal Academy in Dusseldorf, Germany. with but one stipulation—that he stay away from Paris. But the young artist had more of the inherent French trend in his ambition than German ideals, and after winning practically all the available prizes at Dusseldorf, he ran away to Paris and there studied happily under Boulanger and Lefebvre. He is one of three Americans to win the coveted Medal of Honor of Paris. The other two were Whistler and Sargent. While in Paris his interest in the Dutch people and their quaint ways aroused his attention during a holiday journey to Holland and he became so interested in the country that he made it his home until the World War began. He died at Belmont. his home in Fredericksburg, Va.. in 1932. Mr. Melchers was a master of color. Not the conventional application of complementaries, but a strange counter-balancing of seemingly uncomplementaries, so applied and so distributed as to produce a very pleasing pattern. For instance, one may take the large oil now on view at the Herron Museum, entitled “A Native of Virginia.” There are perhops more than 20 different colors and shades used in the com-

position. no two of which are definitely pleasing when taken together. This" seemingly odd manner of suggesting harmony rather than creating it has been developed to a high degree in most of Mr. Melchers’ work. a a a MR. MELCHERS uses a tremendous amount of purple and lavender in his compositions. Shadows which most artists would make brown or black or gray, Mr. Melchers blends into a deep shade of purple. Highlights on the countenances of the Negroes in some of his paintings are lavender and violet. He painted in patches and fields, using certain allotted spaces for a broad sweeping idea of color. Undoubtedly his best medium was oil although there are some etchings, water-colors and sketches on view in the exhibition. His sketches suggest the nervous, unfinished type of thing Da Vinci has shown in his primary drawings. His broad, free stroke, and his almost dangerously flat backgrounds. as well as his peculiarly beautiful color schemes, set Gari Melchers off as an individualist, not a reactionary but one who understood the borderlines of modern and classical painting well enough to come close to brink but not to fall. Two canvases in the current collection show what is meant by the transition of the artist’s outlook. One is “The Offertory,” painted in Holland during Mr. Melchers’ early days and done in small, straight lines of color, giving suggestions of faces and objects rather than exact reproduction. The other painting is ‘‘Tonsorial Parlor,” one of the artist’s last paintings, in which there is almost a cartoonist note; a very matter-of-fact approach. The former shows a group of Dutch people at a church service and the latter depicts a Negro barber, “Joe” in the act of shaving a customer. The Melchers exhibition will close this week. a a a

Sunday afternoon at the Herron, there will oe a gallery talk on “The Artist’s Way of Work,” by Miss Anna Hasselman, curator of the museum.

Lindbergh and is one of those given a share of the credit for Hauptmann's apprehension. “He admitted many things that have not yet been brought out against him,” Lieut. Finn said. “He identified witnesses for us. He admitted quite casually a number of things that would sound sensational right now even though the state's case is in.” The detective said in his opinion Hauptmann yelled “liar" in court at Federal Agent Sisk because no had been unstrung by earlier testimony regarding the condition of the body of the Lindberg i baby. “Any talk about the baby unE REPAIRING 1 Prompt Service on Guaranteed Watch and Clock Repairing Gus Meisfer, Jeweler 24 Pembroke Areade
