fly by the French. 1t was known that
Da vinci had sold the painting to his
patron, Francis l. of France. for 1000
gold ecus shortly after its completion.
The king kept it locked jealously In
his gilded room at Fontainebleau,
and upon the death of Francis l.
Louis XIV. had it hung in his bed
chamber at Versailles. Following his
demise 1t was transferred to the Salon
Carre, where 1t since had attracted
worldwide attention.
What is she smiling at?" ever has
been the unsolved riddle. To artists
Mona Lisa's smile became in turn OBJ
viously saucy, sportive, flirtatious and
even naughty, while plain people
called her the "jocund one."
Tame discovered in the smile that
Mona Lisa had been at least flirting
with Leonardo da Vinci, flattering him
and railing against her husband.
Michelet. the historian. said that he
used to go to the portrait 'in spite OF
himself. as the bird goes to the
snake" Theophile Gautier discovered
that the subject of the painting was
flirting with the whole world, this
strange creature whose look promises
unknown Joys and whose expression is
divinely ironic." "She smiles with
mocking voluptuousness on the thou.
sands who admire her" was the com.
ment of Arsene Houssaye, manager OF
the Theater Francois, who saw shin
ing from that smile only the soul Of
Leonardo in love"
Walter Patter revealed to the world
that 1t was an encyclopedia. I'm this
beauty" he said, "the soul appears
with all its affections. All the thoughts
and experiences Of the world have
left their traces on 1.-THE animalism
of Greece, the lubricity of Rome, the
revery of the middle ages. the return
of paganism, the sins of the Borgias!"
And supplementing this. the illus
trious Italian Carottf declared: "She
is the emanation of the intellectual.
sentimental and poetic power of her
time, with all the mystery Of the
human soul and all its destiny"
In Europe the painting also is called
La Joconde" and "Gioconda" and In
art circles 1t is considered to rank
second in value only to the Sistine
Madonna by Raphael. Both are price
less.

ly that he introduced 1t at the request
of the banking interests and will seek
to amend 1t If it comes up for discus
sion. The bills of Senator Crowley and
Senator Cove are the opposite poles of
the problem. Senator Crowley's bill
provides for both a mutual and an in
dividual guaranty-the Texan plan
while Gove's bill contains no guaranty
At ALL
Senator Cove introduced his meas
ure at the morning session Monday It
provides for bank commissioner, who
shall serve for six years and he paid
$4,000 year. The professed object OF
the bill Is to strengthen weak banks by
forcing them to come up to the require
ments of the strongest banks and to
make it impossible for unsound institu-
tions to enter the banking field. To at
tain this end the bill gives the bank
commissioner broad powers to take
hold of weak banks and wind up their
affairs.
Democratic and Republican senators
maintain that the Cove bill does not
come within the call for the extra ses-
sion and cannot be considered. Senator
Cove himself says that he is not GER
tain it can be inclu ed within the pur-
view of the call, but he insists that it is
a good solution Of the banking prob
lem and that he will do all he can to

Notes.

Only formal business was transacted
at the Monday morning session Of the
House Chairman Charles B. Ward
held a conference with the Democrats
at IL 80, in which he said the legisla
tive redistricting by the regular ses-
sion had resulted in confusion in re-
gard to the chairmen of senatorial and
representative districts. He asked
those who represented split districts to
join with him in issuing call for dis
trict conventions, for the conventions
must be called within two weeks and
delegates named.
Monday E. P. Costigan. Senator Skin
ner, Representative Skinner, E. E. Nc
Laughlin and others interested in
direct legislation. held a meeting to dis
cuss the report that the brewery inter-
ests were trying to doctor the inttia-
tive and referendum bills. In Helbig's
House bill they discovered which they
think would nullify the local option
laws. 1t gives cities and towns the
right to exercise the Initiative and ref
erendum to exclusively regulate and
control all matters involving the home
rule principle. 1t was held that under
such law the people OF the entire city
could vote to make all wards and pre-
cincts dry. 1t also was held that such
q provision might interfere with the
work OF the proposed public utilities
commission.
The suggestion has been made that
II the initiative and referendum is
passed, it should be with the proviso
that at least so per cent Of the voters
taking part in the election in question
must vote on the proposed law. other
wise the vote Is void.
Representative Helbig was asked
directly by the chairman If his bill was
intended to vitiate the local option law.
He replied that 1t would not affect the
law at all, unless the people wished to
use their own discretion in the matter

lished in FL Paso should work along the
lines which I put into practice last year
in seven schools supported by the De
lineator. l selected a densely popu-
lated neighborhood near the dispensary
placed a graduate nurse in charge OF
the school. obtained free milk from the
diet kitchen. secured the services of the
physician in the children's dispensary
to hold conferences in the school
placed my nurse at his disposal for any
sick baby which might come to his dis
pensary. and in this way secured the
control of both the we'll and the sick
babies in that neighborhood. Other
agencies were in the field, but each
nurse was confined to certain dis
trict. and all agencies employing nurses
cooperated very closely with the de-
partment of health.
The following figures referring to
New York city may be found interest
ing. These figures are for infants I'M
der two years of age whose death was
due to diarrheai diseases:

One can understand what this must
mean to the future citizens of New
York city. Even If the community does
not take into consideration the babies
who die. the community must take into
consideration the babies who survive
with a depleted constitution. 1 firmly
believe such work will do more to stamp
out tuberculosis, blindness. immortality,
and all such evils as strike at the very
root of the home life, than any other
agency.
Object of the Work.
Why not have for our object the
object of the babies dispensary and
hospital OF Cleveland (Which is doing
some of the finest work in the United
States): 1--WE want to help the commun-
ity's parents to keep their healthy in
fants we'll and assist them in healing
their sick babies. We do this by teach
ing mothers how to care for their babies
and how to feed them, and by helping
them give the baby the food it ought to
have. The main object of this work
should be to promote intelligent feed
ing. DR.. Emmett Holt, professor of
children's diseases in the college of
and Surgeons in New York
city, said in an address given March %,
1909, that the ignorance of the mother
is one of the greatest causes for this
infant mortality. Dr. Holt
believes education of the mother in her
home by nurses and doctors will do
much toward removing this cause

TO carry on this work, $4,000, was
given by John D. Rockefeller It was
the first work of this kind to be estab-
