Intimate Nervous Relation Of Mother

Can YOU blame the baby? Every
nursing mother knows that excitement
is poison for the baby. The physicians
explain the trouble by saying shat the
wastes given Of by the nerves during
great excitement get into the blood
and eventually reach the milk IN the
mothers breast. The baby cried all
night, not because the father was there,
but because the mother was excited. In
this case the excitement was all Of the
pleasurable kind; they were al glad
20 have father with them. But the ef-
feet on the baby was the same as
though 10 had been war news.

duplicated many times from nearly

NJ. Gopher turned to Leonardo's
religious paintings and made a most
interesting discovery. He found that
the face of the Mona Lisa" bears a
close resemblance to the face in Leo
nardo's picture of Saint Anne. also
in the Louvre. There is the same
enigmatical smile, not so masterfully
treated as that in the "Mona Lisa"
the same absence of eyebrows, the
same peculiar cast of features. M.
Gopher found the same type of face
in many other religious paintings by
Leonardo, and he found it in men as
well as in women saints.
In NJ. Coppier's opinion, then, the
so-called Mona Lisa" is picture of
st. Anne, and should be labelled as
such. 1t is not the portrait of any
person. 1t may have had a model
originally, but in this form it is the
idealized sanity type of face which
the artist has given in many reli-
gious pictures, notably in his ad-
mirable Madonna of the Rocks
There remains one more, point
which will completely dissipate the
romance of the Mona Lisa Did
Vasari have any authentic picture by

Picture of
"The Virgin
and Child"

picture then represents a lady of
rank. Now, the wife of Francesca
del Gtocondo was not of high rank,
and she was a Neapolitan and would
probably not have followed the Flor
entine custom of removing the eye
brows,
Now, it is noticeable that Leonardo
and the other Florentine artists OF
his time in their religious pictures
always paint the very sanity or
divine personages without eyebrows,
while those of lesser Importance are
shown with the plebeian eyebrows.
We see this very well in Mainardi's
beautiful picture Of "The Virgin and
Child" now in the Louvre, in which
the Virgin and Holy Child are scru-
pulously devoid of eyebrows, while
some of the attendant children pos
sess them. These artists naively i'm.
agined that persons Of great impor-
lance in heaven should be made to
look like the most noble and fash
ionable ladies of the day.
The Mona Lisa" then must be a
lady Of high rank or a very great
saint There is no record of any
other portrait painted by him at this
time, since we have seen that the
statement of Vasari cannot be re-
garded as an authentic record.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-03-08

Leonardo IN mind when he spoke },
a woman with eyebrows" and "hu.
mid eyes?' 1t appears highly PROP
able that he had in mind the small
picture of an Unknown Woman
now in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
Vasari must have seen this picture.
He certainly represents a woman
with eyebrows and with what may
be called "humid eyes," 1t is known
that this was picture of Leonardos
youth, and that it was not painted
at the time when in the fuIlness OF
his powers and in the service OF
Giuliano de Medici is said TO have
painted the Mona Lisa" The picture
is a comparatively uninspired one as
compared with the so-called Mona
Lisa" The wife of francesca del
Giocondo is not believed to have been
in Florence in Leonardo's youth.
There is no ground for associating
any romance with this picture. In
any case, 1t would be necessary to
invent an entirely new one.
M. Gopher supports his argument
with wealth of references, with
carefully verified dates and with
extracts rom authentic records.

himself, who states that it was exc
cuted by the commands of Giuliano
de Medici, without saying whom it
represents.
GuilianO de Medici was exiled from
Florence in 1894 and returned in
1912, which is the earliest date when
he could have taken Leonardo into
his service. Leonardo remained in
Florence only a few months after
this time, as Don Giuliano took him
away to Rome and thence to other
cities.
Leonardo went to France in 1916,
taking the Mona Lisa" with him,
and died there. Vasari was born in
1912, and never want to France, so
that he could never have seen the
picture except at the age of four,
which would hardly enable him to
write his enthusiastic description
of it.
The absence of eyebrows in the
picture is most significant. 1t was
the custom of the ladies of rank in
Florence, in Leonardo's time, to re-
move their eyebrows completely with
great pain and trouble, because it
was believed that this fashion added
to their charm of expression and in
creased their resemblance to the
statues of classic antiquity. The

Using a Picture Puzzle to Keep
Out Feeble-N1inded Aliens

Of age will usually solve the picture
within two minutes; detectives, on the
other hand, require more than five
minutes, il they are successful at all.
The main portion Of the picture gives
comparatively little trouble except TO

utterly The fitting of the two com
ponent trianges into the large tri
angle takes ordinarily twice as much
time as the rest of the picture. 1t is
here that the defective shows up so
glaringly with his absurd mistakes.
The fact that the two right triangles
are the component parts of the
isosoeles triangle is not noticed at all
until by a process of elimination by
fitting the rest they are the only two
pieces left on the board. At this
point / have frequently seen the alien
lift up the board and look UNDER
meath to see If there were some parts
missing. Almost invariably this is
left to the last, although during the
fitting of the rest of the picture he
may pick up one of the triangles only
TO drop it Immediately in favor Of
some other part of the picture.
"Althoughno single test is sufficient
for diagnosis, as a general thing 10
will be found that immigrants who .
take more than three minutes 20 cor
rectly solve this puzzle should be
gone into further before deciding that
they are normal. 1t has been found

is finished Then, again, Leonardo
could not have painted Ginevra
d'Amerigo Benci, as Vasari states.
for she died in 1873, before he painted
anything. He says nothing of the
beautiful hands of the "Mona Lisa, ;"
nor of the wonderful landscape be-
hind her, as he would surely have
done if he had seen the picture.
Destroying Vasaris credibility de-
stroyed the sole foundation for the
romance, for it proved that Vasari
had never seen the Mona Lisa
when he wrote about it. Every fact
that M. Gopher subsequently inves-
tigated tended to disprove the idea
that the picture could represent Del
Giocondo's wife.
Leonardo was only in Florence a
few months at the period the picture
was said to have been painted, and
during all this time he was under
the orders of an imperious prince,
Giuliano de Medici, who would not
have left him time to daily with the
portrait of a sweetheart to the ac-
compartment of slow music. The
artist was evidently entirely occupied
with the commands of Giuliano de
Medici.
The only authentic record con-
corning the picture is by Leonardo

defective aliens at Ellis Island.
1t is known as the Healy picture
puzzle The complete picture shows
a horse and colt. Seven pieces are
removed from this and the alien is
required to put them into position.
The puzzle is very simple, as the OBJ
.iect to be attained requires.
II seems to be established that

At a time when Congress is talking
about imposing a literary test on inn
migrants, this puzzle is worth eonsid

body wishes to exclude idiots from
this country. The picture puzzle, it is
claimed, will shut out the feeble
minded, but let in the intelligent but
unlettered alien.
DR.. NJ. K. Gwyn, of the United
States Public Health Service, de-
scribes in the Medical Record how he
uses the puzzle;
"The picture with the sut out parts
lying by its side are shoyn to the
alien, and he is told that this is
picture which can be completed by
filing in the vacant spaces with the
pieces lying by the side of the pic
lure. He is also told that the pieces
will all go in easily when placed in

essary to use force. The parts are
so cut as to give Il clue to the correct

which has inspired poets and
story writer's for three cen
turtles, appears to have been COM
pletely exploded by French con-
noisseur and art critic.
According to this expert the IA

not represent the sweetheart of the
painter Da vinci or any woman Of
his age, but it is an idealized pic.
ture of Saint Anne, the mother of
the Blessed Virgin Mary. -.
II Da Vinci ever painted a. picture
of a woman called Mona Lisa" the.
expert argues that it is the work of
the artist entitled Portrait of an
Unknown Woman" now in the Uf-
fiji Gallery at Florence.
The connoisseur who has made
these discoveries is Andre Charles
Copper, who writes in lies Arts"
one of the leading European publica-
lions devoted to the fine arts.
Everybody knows, of course, the
old romance that has grown around
Da Vinci's picture. 1t is said that
1t was portrait of the Mona Lisa"
or LADY Lisa" whose maiden name
was Gherardini and who was the
wife of gentleman named Fran
cesco del Giocondo, at the time the
picture was painted. The romance
tells us that the painter adored his
interesting model, that he spent four
years in painting her picture, that he
kept her surrounded with lutte play
ers and entertainers in order to ex-
cite the enigmatical smile that
makes her picture so fascinating.
This romance has been taken up
and embroidered upon by many
writer's of genius. 1t has been used by
Theophile Gautier and Arsene Hous-
sage, in France, and by Walter Pater,
in England. When the great picture
was stolen from the Louvre two
years ago all the literature that had
been woven around it was recalled
and discussed all over the world.
When 1t was discovered and returned
a few weeks. ago there was universal
rejoicing that work of such I'M
equalled beauty and interest had
been restored.
The cold, clear eye Of M. Copper,
the expert, saw through the immense
structure of romance that had been
built around the Mona Lisa" He
found that the original authority for
the statement that it was a portrait
of Mona Lisa del Giocondo was
Giorgio Vasari, the old Italian writer
on art. Theophile Gautier and all
the other romancers had picked up

q brief statement in
.Vasari and built
all their structure
of romance upon 1t.
M. Copper turned
to t h i s state
anent of Vasari and
found that he
described the wom-
an Of the picture
as having rather
thick eyebrows and
humid eyes" among
other f e a tur IS
Then M. Copper
turned to the pic
ture called Mona
Lisa" and found
that it did not have
any eyebrows at all
and certainly did
not have "humid
eyes"
These are the ex-
act words of Va
sari:

francesca del Clio
condo a portrait of
Mona Lisa, his wire,

ished after having
worked ON it for
four years. He who
would learn to what
point art can imi-

satisfy himself cas-
