SHOWN HERE SUNDAY' BOUGHT BY FRANCE Forty-seven lithographs of the Great War, Paris and Jlouen will constitute the exhibit by Howard Leigh, formerly of Richmond and Spiceland, which opens at the PuHic Art' gallery next Sunday afternoon. The collection

comes direct from the Anderson galleries, Fifty-ninth street and Park avenue, New York city. One New ork paper, commenting at length on he exhibit, says it is "the most surprising thing iu the art season so far the word 'sensational' could almost be used." In Paris where they were on exhibit for some time the following com--aent was made in L'Intransigeant: -!is work imparts to his subjects a grandeur, tragic and desolate, which it would be well, we think, to have tasted on the other side of the Atlantic." La Liberte, another French publication says: "He has interpreted all (his with an unusual comprehension lor a son of the New World,' 'and goes '. on to say "Mr. Leigh shows a real sureness in drawing, and he separates his lights and shadows in the fashion of a colorist.

The entire collection of prints which will be shown here has been purchased by the French Ministry of Fine Arts for permanent collections in French galleries. Leigh Only 24. .The fact that Mr. Leigh is only 24 years old and self-taught except for one year of study at L'Ecole Beaux Arts in Paris makes his record even more remarkable. Josiah Marvel, son of Dr. and Mrs. Charles Marvel of this city, who saw the exhibit in New York recently, compares Leigh's work with that of the great American etcher, Louis Orr, saying that his work is in Fize and subject somewhat like Orr's but of a much broader method. It will be- rememhprpri that thros rF

Orr's etchings were exhibited at the Art gallery here last spring. i Mr. Leigh's exhibit promises to be I

APPOINT SURVEYORS NOT ELECT, IS URGE An amendment to the constitution of the state of Indiana is proposed by the Better Goverment League In Indianapolis so as to change the office of county surveyor from an, elective to an appointive office under the board of county commissioners. The proposition was presented at a meeting of the Surveyors and Commissioners association in Indianapolis a few days ago. The chief drawback to the present system is J-hat it keeps the lest and most experienced surveyors from trying to get the office, say its opponents. Only a small number of-the county surveyors of the state are engineers and as a result hold the position more as an honorary Job than as a surveyor, it is said. It is pointed outthat in one'county a former blacksmith is surveyor and in another a former store clerk holds the job. Neither had been trained for the position and as a result the roads of the county are in bad shape. The- presence of men of this kind

Hawaii Prosperous in 1920, Report Discloses (Rv Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 Hawaii had an exceedingly prosperous year, largely as a result of the high price of sugar. Governor C. J.

keep salaries low, because an extra amount must be expended for the securing of temporary services of an experienced surveyor, said one advocate of the change. The salaries are fived by the state laws and govern all counties so that it prevents engineers from seeking the job. If an amendment is put through the legislature, it would put the road business of Ci6 county on a business basis.
