CITY CLEANER NOW
THAN EVER BEFORE
All Citizens are Lend
ing a Hand in
Cleanup

The town of Blackfoot has made a
record for itself this spring in the
matter of it's clean up.
Never before has it been so clean
at this time in the spring. Never be-
fore has it been so clean at all. Never
before has the spring time witnessed
Blackfoot's residence districts with
out piles of brush, leaves and other
trash in the street or on the park
strips in front of the houses. Never
before has drying weather come on
without having the blue smoke and
smudge rising thick and floating
thru open windows and soaking up
the belongings Of the residences.
Never before has the town been at
all free from ashes blowing about
from where bon fires had been, and
finding its way into houses, to be
tracked over rugs and carpets, whirl-
ing in at the doors and windows
when the wind blew, and marrine
the front landscape Of homes. Never
before have dray men had SO much
employment hauling trash to the
dump.
Parent-Pupils Association
1t is said that never have there
been so many whole families out
raking and trimming around their
homes. It is said that the rising
generation on arriving home from
school have courted blisters and cal
louses on their hands, and that the
mothers have never had so much
real help in house cleaning as this
spring Of 1922. Girls who have
kept their hands soft and white all
winter, have even sought to ruin
them by plunging them into house
work that was hard and dirty, but
not considered disagreeable thi:
spring Of 1922.
Proud of Their Kids
It is doubtful if Blackfoot parents
ever had so much reason to be proud
of their heirs in spring time as they
do now. The children have gener
ally been strong for hikes to the
hills and around town out Of schoo
house, and not so interested in the
great clean up. They showed gooe

closely observed realism which some
modern sculptors have initiated. Prob
ably by a Paduan sculptor at the end
Of the Quattrocento, this remarksble
bronze appears to have been inspired
by Greek statuette of sick man in
the Cook collection. Such is a very
brief note of some of the prizes. 1t
may be added that there is an unusual
array of animal groups of the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries, such as g
rhinoceros, cat with e lizard in it's

The building stretching up the east
aide of Madison Avenue from Fifty
sixth 20 Fifty-seventh Street is OBJ
vsorsly or the verge of completion,
aad this promises an interesting event
for next month. when the American
Art Association will cake possession
Of its new home. Whatever the first
sale may be, the real source of attrac-
tion at tho opening in November will
be tho galleries themselves. They are
20 substitute for the familiar rooms
on Madison Square everything in or
derliness, convenience, lighting and so
on that the fullest moderniaation could
imply. And all the functions of this
historic institution will now be ear
ried on under one roof. The building
contains a spacious auditorium. There
will no longer be any occasion for
transferring q sale to a hotel ball
room. The public will welcome the
various improvements established. But
it will look with certain sentimental
regret, we believe, upon the dis
rnantling of the quarters in which the
American Art Association has been do
ing business for generation. They
have raade the background for sub
stantial incidents in our artistic an
mails. In 1886. when French Impress
sionism still had its way to make in
the world, the late James +. Sutton
took the subject up with Durand-Ruel
in Paris. Then he made arrangements
with his partner, Thomas f. Kirby,
and they opened at the American Art
Galleries the first exhibition of pic
lures by Monet and the rest ever given
,lere. 1t was the precursor of the
.reat display which Durand-Ruel was
o make in the old building Of the
academy of Design. The episode was
ypical. An immeasurably rich pro-
ession Of works Of art, ancient and
,odern, has gone through those time
orn rooms. The walls are saturated
nth memories. They have witnessed
II the decisive developments in Ameri-
an taste as those developments have
cen affected by auction sales. 1t will
c good to see exhibitions in the new
uilding, but, we repeat, 1T is little
ainful to bid the old one farewell.

ton has gone to the Phillips Memorial
gallery in Washington.
The Anderson galleries will begin to
show on Wednesday, November /, the
furniture and objects of art, ancient
and modern, forming the collection OF
Mr.. Emil Feffercorn. It includes speci-
mems of several periods Jacobean,
Queen Anne, Georgian and the Floren-
tine renaissance. The sale will go
through four afternoon sessions, start
ing on November 8.
The affairs Of Mr.. John Postle Hesel-
tine, the senior trustee of the National
Gallery, are of interest to lovers of art
oil over the world. His old drawings
were famous and their dispersal not
long ago constituted an event Now we
learn from "The London Daily Tele-
graph" that he has sold his collection
of about sixty Renaissance bronzes
1t has been bought by Mr.. Alfred
Spero, who is mentioned as "the pro-
fessional collector" We wonder if
this means that he is a dealer and that
the bronzes may be put on the market.
Describing them "The Telegraph" says;
"The experts are frequently dispu-
tatious about Italian bronzes, and
even when the beauty and antiquity
of bronze are admitted by ali of
them, difference of opinion will arise
as to the precises master to whom a
work should be ascribed. This Hesel-
tine collection contains n big leaven
of choice works about which there is
an agreeable consensus of judgment.
Such a bronze is the Florentine ff-
teenth century figure of baby boy, 1s
inches high, Of consummate modelling,
and of type of natural charm and in
nocence which became an example for
such later masters as Pigalie, Clodion
and Houdon. Comparable with the
Pollaiuolo types in the Berlin, Flor
ence and Modena museums, and with
one in the Pierpont Morgan collection,
is remarkable statuette Of Marsyas
in the act of playing the double pipe
Gin competition with Apollo). An
other we'll known bronze figure, usu-
ally described as THE Executioner,' is
of tense power. Mr., Heseltine ac-
quired it in Paris about forty years
ago, and it was much admired when
shown at Burlington House in 1904;
another then evoking favorable COM
ment being strenuous figure of the
young Hercules strangling serpent
In this category also is the small figure
of the boy Hermes (Donatello school,
winged at the ankles and shoulders
and grasping serpent in each hand.
There Is no master, save Leonardo da
Vinci, to whom fewer works are unani-
mously attributed than Cellini. But
some of the higher authorities are con
fident that the Heseltine statuette of
was the masters model for
his statuette on the base of the Per-
seus in the Loggia de Lanzi at Flor
ence This was exhibited at Burling-
ton House in 1904, and also at the i'm
portant show at the Burlington Fine
Arts Club in 1912.

We are glad that Mr.. Hind has more
particularly wreaked himself upon this
sublime series. unfolding it in his
beautiful illustrations. Piranesi may
have been peculiarly of the eighteenth
century, peculiarly of that period In
lis elegance, in his academic briliance.
But, like Gibbon, he felt the majesty
cf his theme. He worked naturally In
masonry. Nature creeps into his plates.
1t graces some of his studies Of an
tique ruins. 1t tells, in measure, in
some of his villa subjects. He could
touch ordered growths Of turf and flow
ers with sympathy not too coldly
formalized. But he was at his best in
the deineation of grand masses OF
stone. There is. something glorious
about his print Of st. Peters, with
Bernini's colonnade leading up to the
facade and the Vatican LOOMING in it's
place. &fIe had the architects sense Of
scale, and his sense of composition,
too. Bramante would have loved the
clean Arm line with which Piranesi
portrays the lovely palazzi Of the
Renaissance, lovely but austere. This
eighteenth century master had the dig
nifty, the restraint, the pure sense of
form, which belong to the golden age
n Italy.
He was, among other things, a type
Of industry. at was Piranesi's GUS
TOM" says Mr.. Samuel, "to shut him
selef up in his own room and to work
straight on, without intermission, if an
idea had struck him or If he had a
subject in hand; he had no patience.
Engrossed in his labors, ne could not
endure to lay down his tools to take
food or rest" But the same author
cites legend pointing curously to
the romanticism at the bottom of this
devoted worker. 1t was said that he
would study his scene by daylight first
and then, in order to gain effects Of
light, finish the plate at night, under
the moon True or not, the tale points
to the fact that Piranesi was an artist
as we'll as a craftsman--a man with an
conception Of the building
he tackled. His aim was lofty. "I do
dare to believe" he once wrote, "that,
like Horace, have executed work
which will go down to posterity and
which will endure for as long as there
are men desirous OF knowing all that
has survived until our day of the
ruins of the most famous city of the
universe There is nothing really
overwrought in this proud pronounce
ment. He simply puts into words the
Roman spirit of his art, using the
accent which in his etchings had be-
come to him second nature.

nifty to renew contact with the genius
Of Piranesi. He had genius. 1t was of
i a characteristically eighteenth century
order--with romantic elements in ii
not ordinarily associated with the
| period. He was of humble Venetian
/ origin, the son of stone mason, but
was educated as an architect. Mr..
Hind notes, however, that Piranesi did
| little practical work in the profession,
| He seems to have turned to etching at
an early age. He was about twenty,
we gather, when he studied in Rome
under the engraver Vasi. Tiepolo, it
Is said, initiated him into the mysteries
Of painting. We have seen drawings
Of his which in their style confirm this
hypothesis. But in grain he was an
architect, so sensitive to the art of
building that when he draws II Roman
monument he interprets It's very spirit
To the great churches and palazzi
he gave most of his devotion, but there
was, as We have said, a romantic i'm
pulse in him and it came out in the
prodigious prison designs which were
shown here only the other day. There
is classical allusion to them in the
Opium Eater" of De Quincy. Mr..
Hind reproduccs the oft quoted passage
and we may reproduce it again:
MANY years ago, when was look
ing over Piranesi's Antiquities Of
Rome,' Mr.. Coleridge, who was stand
ing by, described to me set of plates
by that artist, called his Dreams and
which record the scenery of his visions
during the delirium of fever. Some
of them represented vast
Gothic halls, on the hoors Of which
stood all sorts of engines and ma
chinery, wheels, cables, pulleys, levers,
catapults, etc, expressive of enormous

no step onward to him who has

depths below Whatever is to become
OF poor Plraneslf You suppose, at
least, that his labors must in some
way terminate here. But raise your
eyes and behold second flight of
stairs still higher, on which again
Piranesi Is perceived. by this time
standing on the very brink Of the
abyss. Again elevate your eyes and
still more aerial fight of stairs is
beheld; and again is poor Piranesi
busy on his aspiring labors; and so
on, until the unfinished stairs and
Piranesi both are lost in the upper
gloom Of the hall Slth the same
power Of endless growth and self-re-
production did my architecture pro-
ceed in my dreams.'
The illimitable halls are the halls
of prisons. The engines and machinery
are instruments of torture. The at
mosphere is that Of the Internal re-
gions. There is nothing quite so thrill
ing elsewhere in the history of prints.
Piranesi let his Imagination go. If he
were merely lurid the "Carceri" would
never have been famous. What makes
them beautiful is that they are verita-
