Capable Work Characterizes Exhibit of
Detroit School Pupils In Museum of Art

In art, the exhibit OF the School or
Fine Arts takes the palm: in utility,
that of the public schools, in the an
nual showing, in the Detroit Museum
OF Art, Of the work Of the pupils or
the Detroit School OF Design, the lig-
gett school, the School OF Fine Arts
and the public schools The exhibit
will continue through June IA
The students of the School of Fine
Arts, under the direction OF John r.

They are far better in line than In

on paper anything you ask Not but
that there are several students who
are becoming proficient in oils. Joe
Catalano, for instance. Catalano can
do with his one arm what few OF his
fellow-students can do with two. He
has an excellent eye for color; he
can distinguish between strength and
daubing which is often meant for
strength; and when he returns from

offered to sepd him, he ought to be a
credit to Detroit There are two or
three others whose work approaches
that OF Catalano. Arthur Marschner

kin has some mighty good copper
plate etchings. Esther l.. McGraw is
doing some very good work in OIL
Louis Calewaert's etchings are good,
and there are several others who are
doing excellent work
The influence of the exhibitions in
the Museum OF Art is shown in this
exhibit and in that OF the School OF
Design. The Meunierebronzes opened
up wide field to the students. They
began TO visit the factories and the
waterfront; and now, from the mu-
scum walls. boatmen and burden
bearers and hammermen look forth,
and leather aprons are conspicuous.
Jonas Lies Panama pictures have
evidently interested the students in
the beauty that may be found in trav-
cling cranes and derricks and other
engines. Perhaps Birge Harrison

pills could have had less studio work
and more study IN the out-of-doors.
The exhibit of the School OF De
sign, which occupies the large south
gallery, contains great variety OF
work, from the most elementary de-
signs to mural decoration A very
lady-like idea OF color permeates the
school In drawing and modelling,
the pupils are doing very good work;
but give them colors, and they begin
TO express boudoir notions. There
are interesting designs showing how
"futurist" pictures can be made with
the aid OF pair of compasses. Some
OF the posters are excellent others
are too dark, and others lack con-
trast. Most OF the electrical show
posters run too much to detail, and
at distance are merely confused
splashes. A little too much fineness
in the features OF the pirate, where a
few bold strokes would have made
them stand out, is the only fault with
the excellent Treasure Island" pos
ter. The Julia Marlowe design is
striking. but in color II is too dark
to be suitable for theatrical advertis-
ing.

certainly valuable: the papers show

The work OF the 'Liggett school Is

interesting pieces OF needlework and
some good examples OF pottery.

COMMITTEE CALL
ON REV. SUNDAY
Delegation of % Leaves This
Morning to Interview Evan

a committee of %. representing the
churches of the tri-cities, left this
morning over the Rock Island road
for Des Moines, to interview Rev.
Billy Sunday relative to appearing in
the tri-cities. The party will remain
through the day and tonight, return

Will hear sermons preached by the
noted revivalist and get an opportuni-

uses.
The committee has arranged for an
audience with Rev. Sunday and ex-
pect to obtain a definite statement
as to whether the famed evangelist
will be able to appear here or not
a committee from the Tri-City Minis
terial alliance visited him some time

must have the unqualified support of
all churches in the community. A
vote was taken recently, and It was
found that all We're heartily in favor

HART LEAVES FOR
INSPECTION TRIP
Commissioner Will Visit Spring
field Incineration Plant to
Secure Information.

Commissioner Archie Hart this af-
ternoon departed for Springfield TO
inspect the incineration plant at that
place with a view TO securing infor-
nation relative to its cost and opera
ton.
The commission is figuring upon the
erection of a place for the sanitary
disposal of garbage collected in this
city and il is thought that it will be
started next spring, the present dump
ing grounds for the garbage in the
west end having been completely used
up.
In the event that no such plant is
erected otter grounds will have to be
secured and this will be hard for the
commission TO find. While at first the
finances of the city did not seem TO
warrant such an expenditure, it was
later thought that in the event that
contagious diseases are not as prev
alent this winter as last sufficient
money could be saved from the healtY
appropriation of the city to practical
" pay for the plant

The city commission this morning
at an informal session authorized
Commissioner Archie Hart to have
installed at the home of Fire Chief
George Newberry and at the new fire
station, Number 5, located at the cor
ner of Ninth street and Eighteenth
avenue, telephones connected with
those in the central fire station.
These phones are individual and not
connected with others in the city, fur
Their than when a call is sent to any
one of the stations all of the phones
ring. The two telephones and wiring
would not cost over a couple of hun

thought, and the council authorized
him to have them installed.

ORDERED TO CONTRIBUTE
TO SUPPORT OF BROTHER

Atlas Tindall and Joe Tindall,
wealthy farmers residing near Milan,
were ordered by Judge b. S. Bell in
county court to contribute to the sup
port OF their brother. Henry Tindall.
II is understood that some time ago
the two were ordered to do this, but
failed.
Judge Bell decreased the amount in
the order this time which Joe Tindall
was to pay, but increased that of
Atlas, the more wealthy of the two.
He informed the men that if they did
not live up to his orders he would
