 ings which is being shown at
 q the Little Art Gallery has been made possible through the conr- tesy of MT. M. B. Gotlieb, of The Studio Bookshop," who has loaned 1t to the members of the Alabama Art League and their friends.

 The exhibition of etchings which MT. Gotlieb has so kindly loaned to the Alabama Art League, Is not only one of the largest but one of the most interesting collections which has ever been shown in the south ana Is valuable from an educational stand point as being the work of some of the finest artists in this line.
 They are mostly black and white etchings with a few in colors and a few wood blocks. They show the work of contemporary American, British and French etchers. besides which there are pieces by the great est living Japanese etcher, F. urush- ibara; Tulips" Dawn" and The Grand Canal at Venice"
 Some of the artists represented have had their work bought and placed in museums in this country and abroad. Among them are An derson, Kinney. Barton, Gallagher and Platt of the American group, and Dasselborn and Davril from the French.
 Mir Roderiek Mackenzie, who spoke of etchers and etchings at the open ing of this exhibition. said this group was as representative collection as had ever come under his observation at one time. This expression of opin- ion by Mr. Mackenzie is highly sig nificant and these beautiful etchings should be seen by all lovers of art.

pass tho law that had been outlined.
This law is along the lines of one en-
acted in the Ohio legislature for the
benefit of Akron and Dayton. In his
discussion of this subject Senator Pet
erson made 1t very plain just who
would pay for the project and that
the people OF the lower valley need
have no fear that they would be made
to bear any of the expense.
One OF the best talks OF the evening
and ono of the best ever made before
an organization OF this kind was that
delivered by Elmere Petersen Of the
university.
Some of the points brought out by
Petersen were that Membership should
be the chief concern of the officers of
a chamber of commerce; the duty of
citizens to Join hands in civil prob
lens for the reason tnat men do not
feel their duty deeply enough. He also
outlined a history OF the movement.
going back to its conception in the
fifth century.
"A modern chamber of commerce Is
a new element in urban development"
said Mr.. Petersen, for In less than two
decades II has come to be recognized as
the active ase ney by means Of which
the city builds itself. moulds Its char
acter. shapes its physical qualities
and forms Its social ideals.'
Prosperity has invariably followed
the work OF the efficient chamber OF
commerce and 1t has secured good gov
ernment and good public service in
every city where 1t has been estab-
lished." said Mr.. Petersen.
He also outlined some OF the specific
cases where the chamber of commerce,
especially In city tho size OF Las
Aninnas. could be of material assist
ance to the merchants, such as the
establishment of closer relations with
the outlying trade territory; featuring
special retail sales days; promotion OF
spring and fall openings: organization
of salesmanship clubs and educational
work for overcoming mall order house
competition Flo showed how there
had been a steady increase of city
population and n decrease in the rural
population since 1850 and pointed out
ways civic bodies could help overcome
this. He closed his talk with the
thought that the idea of n commercial
club was worth while and that II meant
