MONA LISA TH|EF'S
STORY IS BELIEVED
Police and Louvre Officials
Give Full OBEDIENCE to
Tale of Theft.

PARIS, Dec. 16.4The police and the
of1cials of the Louvre give full cred
cnce TO Vincenzo Perugia's story of
the theft Of the Mona lisa" The
authorities have closely examined all
the details and find moth ng to cast
doubt on Perugia's narrative.
Seymour de Ricci, an art expert, de-
scribed today the experiments made
Immediately after the Mona Lisa"
was stolen. A dummy picture of the
same size and we ght, from 35 to 40
hounds. with the frame. was easily re-
moved by a police Official who had
no experience In handling pictures,
and who carried 1t twenty yards to
the staircase, where the frame was
subsequently found. The operation
REQUIRED less than one minute. An
other official accustomed to transport
ing pictures did the same thing III
twenty seconds.
II has been proved that Perugia
had assisted in rehanging the Mona
Lisa" some time before the theft.
The picture without its frame ls
about 81 inches wide by 80 high and
weighs five pounds.
The painting is on wood less than
an inch thick.
FLORENCE. italy, Dec. t6.-Signor
Chini, the Italian painter, writes to
local paper today urging a theory
that the theft of the Mona Lisa" was
STIMULATED in order to conceal some
badly-executed reservations OF the
picture" He states that he himself
detected on the painting some re-
touches of which there is no official
record. He thinks II would be inter-
esting to establish whether all the
reservations now traceable existed be-
fore the picture left the Louvre.

First American Stamps.

In the London Express Douglas B

! question, What Was the Date OF
Americas First Issue?' He says in
part:
of the postage stamp issues OF the
first decade 1S40-50). that of the
United States is the only one of
whose date we have no authoritative
record, and the problem is one that
calls for early solution.
THE issue of adhesive postage
stamps in the United States did not
take place for period of seven years
after the appearance of the first Brit.

Mr. Armstrong then quotes from

He comes to the conclusion tbs
