mands an explanation of an alleged IL

The papers state that the German gov

officers were charged with the theft of
wine and with conducting an orgy Sep

their ambulance was installed.

Imprisonment ranging from six months
to one year.

DRUG STORES EXEMPT.
Eight-Hour Law Does Not Apply tx
Woman Pharmacists. -

That drug store is not a mercantile
establishment within the meaning of
the eight-hour law governing the en-
ployment of women in the District of
Columbia, and that woman pharma-
cists. therefore, do not come under the
provisions of the law is the substance
of an opinion handed down by Cor

The Commissioners have transmitted
the opinion to number of woman
pharmacists, 'who recently requested
that the eight-hour law be amended in
order that they might. be able to con-
tinue their employments exempt from
it's requirements.
In his opinion the corporation coun-
sci holds that women employed in a

of Representing the Most

Is finished. Then, again, Leonardo
could not have painted Ginevra
d'Amerigo Benci, as Vasari states,
for she died In 1473, 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 Vasari's credibility de-
stroyed the sole foundation for the
romance. for 1t proved that VasaH
had never seen the Mona Lisa"
when he wrote about It. Every fact
that NJ. 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 al imperious prince,
Giuliano de Medici, who would not
have left him time to daily with the
portrait of q sweetheart to the ac-
compartment OF slow music The
artist was evidently entirely occupied
with the commands Of Giuiiano de
Medici.
The only authentic record con-
corning the picture Is by Leonardo

Now, 1t Is noticeable that Leonardo

Guiliano de Medici was exiled from
Florence In 1494 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 Giuliapo took him
away TO Rome and thence to other
cities.

that he could never have seen the

NJ. Gopher turned to Leonardo's
religious paintings and made a most
interesting discovery. He found that
the face Of the Mona Lisa" bears
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. NJ.
Copper found the same type of face
In many other religious paintings by
Leonardo, and he found it in men as
we'll as dn women saints.
In NJ Coppier's opinion, then, the
so-called "Mona Lisa" is a picture Of
ST. Anne, and should be labelled as
such. 1t Is not the portrait OF any
person. 1t may have had model
originally, but in this form it is the
idealized sanity type of face which
the artist has given in many rell-
gious pictures, notably in his ad
mirable Madonna of the Rocks"
There remains one more point
which will completely dissipate the
romance OF the "Monn Lisa Did
