High Rating; Will Keep
Drivers lob.

Such an incident as passing the
Indiana bar examinations with
honors will not prevent w. Gordon
Davis, 632 Birchwood-av, from con-
tinuing his part-time chauffeuring
for Gov. Paul v. McNutt.
The young State Highway Com
mission clerk, who yesterday was
revealed as one of the highest rated
candidates in the recent examina-
tons for licenses to practice law
said he wanted to keep right on with
his garage records and plotting the
chief executives car when he is
needed.
Later on, when conditions are
better" the Davis shingle will be
hung out, probably in Indianapolis.
Now, however, there's chauffeuring
to be done, and besides, young Law
yer Davis likes the Governor, whom
he regards as the best Governor
Indiana ever had"
After clerking all day, and now
and then driving the Governors
car, Mr.. Davis attended Benjamin
Harrison Law School at night.
Previously he had been graduated
from Butler University, after COM
pleting a journalism course. Mr..
Davis worked on Indiana and Cali
fornia newspapers, too.
Since. leaving the newspaper
business, Mr.. Davis has moved
about almost as rapidly as he did
when, as a student at University
of Kentucky, he won the inter
collegiate championship in the 100
yard dash.
He is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Cor
don B. Davis, who lived in Lexing-
ton, KY, before coming to Indian
apolis. The older Davis is vet

dispatcher.

increased to $4,000 in 1924, and
reduced to $4,000 in 1925.
In 1927 the Milburn By-Products
Coal Company voted dividend of
s225,0OO on its common stock, rep
resenting accruals since March,
1922, period of five years and ten
months. This disbursement was
equivalent to a return of slightly
more than 25 per cent year. The
following year the Milburn bonds
disappeared from the books of the
company.
The muniflcent dividend of $685.
600 in 1927 by the Milburn By
Products Coal Company, which, in
cidentally, was paid the year after
the S393,000 investment in Indian
apolis Gas Company per cent
bonds disappeared, represented the
last dividend to be declared.
Citizens Gas Company funds also
moved in and out of the Indian
apolis Gas Company bonds with
rather amazing alacrity. For in
stance, in 1924 money invested in
this manner amounted to $173 and
was jumped to S393,O0O the follow
ing year. In 1926 the indianapolis
Gas bonds were dropped.
The next year the S225,000 Mil
burn dividend was paid and a fresh
investment of $121 900 in Indian
apolis Gas bonds was made. In
1929 these bonds were stepped up
to S421 900 and in 1880 to $527, 900.
In 1881 the Indianapolis invest
ment again disappeared, only to re-
appear in 1881 in the amount of
$4,000.

The Citizens Gas Company did
not receive any income from the in
vestment in the Milburn By-Prod-
ucts Coal Company in the first four
years. In 1922. however, the West
Virginia company reached new
heights of generosity by declaring a
dividend of s125,OOO, or SIS, 900
higher than the total capitalization
of the enterprise.
Not to be outdone in liberality,
the Citizens Gas Company in the
same year bought s per cent bonds
of the Milburn company to the full

position. no two of which are def
nitely pleasing when taken together.
This seemingly odd manner Of sug-
costing harmony rather than Great
ing it has been developed to a high
degree in most of Mr.. Melchers'
work.
MR.. MELCHERS uses a tremen-
N1 dous amount of purple and
lavender in his compositions.
Shadows which most artists would
make brown or black or gray, Mr..
Melchers blends into deep shade
Of purple. Highlights on the counte-
nances of the Negroes in some Of
his paintings are lavender and
violet.
He painted in patches and fields,
using certain allotted spaces for a
broad sweeping idea Of color. I'm
doubtedly his best medium was oil
although there are some etchings,
water-colors and sketches on view in
the exhibition. His sketches suggest
the nervous, unfinished type Of thing
Da Vinci has shown in his primary
drawings.
His broad, free stroke, and his
almost dangerously fiat back
grounds, as well as his peculiarly
beautiful color schemes, set Carl
NIelchers off as an individualist, not
a reactionary but one who under
stood the borderlines of modern
and classical painting we'll enough
to come close to brink but not to
fall.
Two canvases in the current
collection show what is meant by
the transition of the artists outlook
One is The Offertory,' painted in
Holland during Mr.. Melchers' early
days and done in small, straight
lines Of color, giving suggestions of
faces and objects rather than exact
reproduction. The other painting
is "Tonsorial Parlor," one of the
artists last paintings, in which
there is almost a cartoonist note;
a very matter of-fact approach.
The former shows a group of Dutch
people at a church service and the
latter depicts Negro barber, Joe"

The program for the opening
night of the exhibit. which is
sponsored by the Hoosier Salon

musical numbers by a group Of In

prize awards.
THE Memorial Exhibition OF the
Il work of Carl NIelchers, one OF
the current displays at the John
Heron Art Museum, is an interest
ing example of the transition OF an
artists outlook on life.
Mr.. Melchers began the study OF
art at II. when he was sent by his
father. an American sculptor, to the
ROYAL Academy in Dusseldorf, Ger
many. with but one stipulation
that he stay away from Paris. But
the young artist had more of the
inherent French trend in his ambi-
ton than German ideals, and after
winning practically all the available
prizes at Dusseldorf, he ran away
to Paris and there studied happily
under Boulanger and Lefebvre. He
is one of three Americans to win
the coveted Medal of Honor OF
Paris. The other two were Whistler
and Sargent.
While in Paris his interest in the
Dutch people and their quaint ways
aroused his attention during a holi-
day journey to Holland and he be-
came so interested in the country
that he made it his home until the
World War began. He died at Bel
mont. his home in Fredericksburg,
Va, in 1882.
