Editor The Optic,
East Las Vegas, N. NJ.
After a residence of almost seven
years in Las Vegas my wife and I
find it necessary, to enable us to be
of better service to our sisters who
need our care and attention, to re-
move to South Bend, Ind. We have
enjoyed our residence in this commun-
, ity and nothing but the urgent call to
duty elsewhere would induce us to
leave, and to separate from the many
warm friends here to whom we are
much attached,
I'm making this change we want
it to be known that we regard Las
Vegas as a most delightful residence
city and her people as among the best
anywhere to be found. We shall al
ways look back to Las Vegas and it's
citizens with pleasure. My associates
in the postoffice are most agreeable
ana leave them with regret.
Il am exchanging with w. " Nc
Kesson, a clerk in the South Bend
postoffice, who, with his family will
soon be in Las Vegas. am reliably
informed that he is competent and
efficient clerk and worthy citizen.
ask for him the confidence of my
friends and the public.
with best wishes for Las Vegas,
and in the firm belief that it will con-
tinue as the best residence city of the
southwest, and with kind regards for
one and all, adios.
Yours truly,
(Signed) 'E. S. SHOWALTER."

IDENTIFYING ''MONA LISA"
Paint Cracks in Canvas OF Ancient
Masterpieces Defy Imitation.

The first question asked by the aver
age person after the announcement OF
the finding Of the lost Mona Lisa
was. How do the experts know with
any certainty that this is the same
painting that was stolen from the
Louvre" A big business is carried on
in faxed works of art. and there are
many accomplished artists in the world
who can initiate an "old master" so
skillfully as to deceive even an expert.
But the cleverest imitation falls short
in Just one particular. A network of
fine paint cracks is sure to exist in
any painting of considerable age. and
no way has ever been found for copy
ing these with minute exactness.
Through the paint cracks in the Mona
Lisa'' it was easy to identify the ia
NOUS painting positively. This was
done by comparing, inch by inch. a
photograph taken after the painting
was found in Italy with a photograph
made before the painting was stolen.
A curious feature in connection with
the theft il the fact that the identity Of
the man who carried off the painting
might have been established immedi-
ately If the Bertillon records Of the
Paris police had been classified diff
ferently. On the frame, which was left
under a stairway of the Louvre, were
found five finger prints. Only one If
these, a print of the left thumb, was
| sufficiently distinct to serve for idep-
tification. While an impression of both
thumbs is always taken. criminal rec
Ords are classified by the Paris police
by means of the right thumb. With
$50 900 such records on file. it was inn
possible to find the criminal with only
a left-thumb impression. Since his ar
rest 1t ID found that he II Well-knowu
criminal. and that his record IL on file

Hand Quicker Than Eye When Frau
dulent Bank Notes are rendered.

The hand Is quicker than the eye In
detecting fraudulent bank notes. The
feel" Of the distinctive paper used by
the government is the first warning
signal that the money rendered is bad.
This paper is distinctive not alone be-
cause of the introduction Of silk fiber
in the bill itself, but because of the
treatment the stock receives in print
ing. The silk threads are sometimes
initiated by pen and ink lines, but
these do not bear close examination.
The engraving has been the greatest
protection. for even photoengraving
fails to bring out the proper color
values, and retouching by the craving
tool makes the lines heavy and irregu-
lar. Photography also fails in repro
ducing the color of the seal. which
must be washed in with water colOrs,

NAVAL VESSELS
ONTHE MOvEA[
OUR|NGTHEOAY
PROCURED SUPPLIES FROM
ARETHUSA AND SOME OF THEM
WENT DOWN THE BAY TO THE
NAVY YARD.

"All in readiness for the dash" might
have been wig-wagged from each of
the torpedo boat destroyers to the flag
ship early yesterday afternoon. for. by
4 o'clock in the afternoon there re-
manned not a single vessel of the COM
bined fleets and divisions which had
been unsupplied for trip to sea.
The supply or fuel ship Arethusa,
which has been at anchor for weeks in
the stream, and which had been filed
with fuel sinking the vessel rather
deeply III the water, yesterday showed
that hundreds of tons of fuel had been
placed on the torpedo craft, and at
times during the day, as many as four
boats were ranged alongside of the big
Arethusa for their oil or coal, as the
case might have been. Three of the
vessels very early in the afternoon
went to the navy yard, one of them
going alongside the battleship Missis-
sippi, taking certain supplies there,
while the others received bunker coal
from the navy yard. All of the tor
pedo boats are not oil burners, and the
urgency of the situation, it appeared,
forced at least a couple of them not TO
await their turn to get a supply of
fuel from the fleet fuel ship, and they
went to the coal bins at the yard.
Men versed in such signals on the
wharf yesterday at 5 o'clock pointed
out at least four of the craft which
hoisted a signal of dispatched" at
their mast head. Signalling was one
of the features of the afternoon, and
it appeared as if the vessels are now
quite ready, as one said, for a fight
or frolic." This means that they are
ready to move at moments notice.
During the day several of the vessels
were on the constant move. three of
them going into the gulf. 1t was
noticeable that liberty parties were
limited, and the only large parties
came from the Dixie. Neither the
Birmingham or any of the destroyers
were very greatly represented in the
limited number in the city, and the
small barges which piled to and fro
during the afternoon, it was noticed.
carried only an orderly, outside of the
boats crew, or one or two officers.
Everything had the appearance of
being ION the wait" as one of the
jackies said, and the indications are
that every boat in the several divisions
are ready to proceed on any journey
in as short time as possible. Only
an order to weigh anchor and pro-
coed to" is said to be necessary
to have the vessels get under way.

Let Everybody Help
To Do This Job.

Did you ever see a child trying to
raise a thousand pound weight?
Probably not. But you are we'll aware
that the most earnest, the most in
dustrious, the most conscientious,
and the strongest child could not
bulge that thousand pound weight
one inch. But if that child's strength
was increased a thousand fold. of
course the weight could be easily
lifted.
Every now and then, in Pensaco
there is an attempt made to accom-
plish some task. that seems so diff
cult as to be almost impossible, and
yet it is only because it is too big a
task for one person, or two persons
or half a dozen, or maybe half a hum
dred. But if. khe strength and pow
or of the whole community were
thrown into the task, it would no
longer be a task, but a child's job.
One of these things is the cleanup
movement. This is an enormous un-
dertaking, if left to one or two peo-
pie. or one or two dozen people. But
IL everybody in town would just help,
putting heart and soul into the work,
it would no longer be difficult task.
1t would become an easy task.
1t is perfectly useless for any one
or two persons to attempt to do the
work of a whole community. They
cannot do it. nor should they be ex-
pected to do it.
All should work together, in the
common cause of sanitation and clean
illness.
Cleanup Day in Pensacola can
mean much to the city But the COM
mittees cannot make this work effec-
tive. If it is left to them alone. They
can do much toward it's success, but
they cannot make it's success-unless
they have the cooperation of the whole
community.

Reprehensible Methods of
the Anti-Wilson Press.

The Anti-wilson press, led by the
flamboyant and highly -colored Hearst
papers, is leaving no stone unturned
whereby the desire to embarrass or
e1iscredit the administration may be
gratified.
If it is necessary to lie, these news
papers lie. There are no lengths to
which they will not go if, thereby,
they may deceive the people into a
false attitude toward President Will
son. An example OF this was last
week rebuked by Representative VolI-
mer of Iowa, who arose in congress to
a question OF personal privilege and
called attention to an article that had
been published in Mr.. Hearst's New
York American and repubHshed in the
Washington Post. This article was as
follows:
Repeal vote costs seat-Representa-
tive Vollmer will not seek re-elec-
tion-Decision follows receipt of let
ter from his district denouncing his
stand on controversy.
New York, April z
A Washington dispatch to the New
York American says:
Representative Vol1mer, of the sec
ond Iowa district, a democrat has
announced 10 MS constituency that he
will not be a candidate for reelection.
The announcement followed on the
heels of the receipt of a bitter denun-
citation of his vote for the repeal of
tolls exemption in resolutions passed
by the Davenport Commercial Asso-
citation.
Davenport is the largest city In
Vollmer's district. Its opposition fore
told his defeat for the renomina ton
should he have decided to make the
race in the approaching primaries
at Is expected that other democratic
congressman voting against American
sentiment in favor of American SOW
ereignty over the Panama Canal are
to follow the example set by Mr.. Voll-
mer''.
Replying to this article Mr.. vollmer
said. in part:
Color and sting are given to this
article by pretended interview,
which recently appeared in the COL
umns OF the same paper. with one
Herman ID. Snider, purporting to be
prominent citizen of my home town
Davenport, Iowa-and to be stopping
temporarily at the Raleigh Hotel in
this city. In this alleged interview
IL was represented that my vote for
repeal had not only unfavorably af-
fected my chances of reelection, but
that IL was a case OF rank ingrati-
tude to the speaker of this house, who
had made a speech for me in my cam
paign.
I do not know whether the pretend
ed interview with Herman ID. Snider
is existent or nonexistent. He was
not registered at the Raleigh as al
