Among the landscape prints in
Gallery II at the John Heron Art
Institute are two color etchings by
Francois Raffaelli.
Raffaelli is known chiefly as a
painter, but he is also an able
etcher, and was one of the first to
develop the color print. He was
born in Paris in 1850 and first ex-
hibited his paintings in 1870.
Pressed by poverty during his
childhood and youth, and from the
time he was . little boy helping
with the family support, he gained
his art education by working nights
and over hours. After difficult
years of study in Paris, he began to
sell his art products and the finan-
ciai strain lessened.
He painted in Italy for a time,
but returning to his native city, he
began to portray the Paris that he
had known as a child-the side
streets and back alleywayS, and
certain dreary suburbs, and the
poor people who led hard lives amid
dingy surroundings. Poverty, suffer-
ing, squalor, melancholy landscapes,
dank snow and numbing cold, these
were the subjects that absorbed
his interest.
Later in life he made a pro-
tracted stay in England which ma
terially affected his point OF view,
turning his thoughts toward more
genial subjects. But he has always
shown a preference for depicting
the humber side Of life. He is ia
nous for his paintings of fiat, bleak
landscapes and of poor fishermen
and street vendors and market wom-
en-. 1t has been said of him that
"he Is the Millet of Paris"
He has dealt with the poor, but
not with morbid concentration on
their misery. Even from the first
he handled scenes of squalor with
a light touch. He poured sunshine
over the dull quarters Of Paris and
chose to immortalize moments OF
unexpected gayety or beauty in the
lives of the pathetic creatures who
peopled the alleys and dumps.
Raffaelli has always shown great
confidence in his own power, and
has come to be known as a master
Of Characterization. His color etch-
ings in the present exhibition are
keen in their delineation Of the
character Of places.
"Farmyard" shows an unproduc-
tive hillside sloping off into a waste
of sand or mud. A frowsy, bent
woman with sack, poor old
horse, a pig and some chickens ami
mate the scene. A tumbledown
fence, a broom and ash cans com
plete the desolation that after all
fails of being desolation, and in
stead wears beneath the hand OF
the master almost an air Of spright-
illness.
In "Notre Dame" the Paris bou-
Ievard holds the main interest; the
cathedral is in the background.
A group of strollers, tradesmen,
vendora and horse-drawn vehicles,
typical of the Paris of thirty years
ago, is moving in the street, birds
whirl above the towers of Notre
Dame, and against the green-blue
sky flutter feathery trees, painted
as only Raffaelli paints a tree.
There is a delicacy about the etch-
ing, a grace, an illusion of bright,
clear air that give it an unusual
attraction.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 3D.
The eyes of America are on this
State because clean government
has become an issue from coast to
coast.
Average people are not thinking
about this issue in terms of law, out
in terms of common honesty and
common sense.
They realize that public officers
can evade the law and still be I'M
trustworthy.
With all our legislating and reg
ulating, We have not created sys-
tenn which is proof against towards,
parasites and hypocrites.

How About Mr., Public

State rights serve a very useful
purpose, and I am not one to be-
little them, but the rights that in

If we need a movement to protect
anybody's rights, old John Public

Governor Jackson is at Mackinac
foregathering with several other
Governors.
Doubtless, he is being edited and
uplifted, and certainly he is being
spared the annoyance Of routine
work and bothersome queries at

These Governors conferences are
most convenient institutions for a

absent from his Office, as we'll as

DISTRICT MAY DELAY
CONDEMNATION CASES
Corporation Counsel Asks Commits
sioners' Views on Procedure
for Present.

The District Commissioners were
asked by the corporation counseps Of
fee today whether it should proceed
with the street condemnation cases
now In court or hold them up until
the Court of Appeals rules on an APP
peal from the recent decision Of the
District Supreme Court, in which it
was held that the highway plan Of the
District is defective Jecause it fails
to show the boundaries and dimen-
sions of each projected street.
A number Of important proposed
street opening and widening projects
involving property valued at more
than $1,000,000 are being held up by
the courts decision. Chief among
them are the conversion Of Conduit
road into monumental boulevard
from Foxhall road to the District line
and the opening of the territory i'm.
mediately south Of the Walter Reed
Hospital reservation between Georgia
avenue and Fourteenth street.
Rather than delay the condemnation
work by further litigation in the
courts, Melvin C. HaZen, District sur
veyor, has suggested that Congress be
asked TO amend at its forthcoming
session the act authorizing the crea'
ton Of the Districts highway plan.
The Commissioners planned to con
slider this suggestion in connection
with the question: raised by the cor.
poration counSerS office.

with their violins and accordions. The
villagers looked forward to n program

In marked contrast to the pictur.
