SLICK FREE AID SCHEME.

A pretty shrewd scheme for obtaining
free advertising from the American press
was that pulled off recently by an Italian
artist who, accompanied by a handsome
woman as his secretary, came over from
Italy with a collection ot paintings alleged
TO be worth something like halt a million
dollars said 10 have been part vi Y million
dollar collection purchased for the late
J. Pierpont Morgan famous art gallery.
but which had not been delivered.
which the said artist admits very inn
genuously that he intends to sell III this
country. Had he come into the country
with his art treasure unoppo~ed and UNI
noticed. Americans In general would hardly
nave been aware that the great privilege
of purchasing such treasures was beng
placed within their reach. But there are
advertising artist. ia Italy who could give
the most shining examples Of successful
advertisers in the United States cards and
spades and then walk Of with the stakes
So, just before the artist reached the
New York landing, y cablegram from Italy
reached the authorize at that port which
caused the detention Of the artist and his
beautiful secretary on some trumppd up
charge. The usual rumpu- followcd-thc
usual indignant dcuial- and official iuve~-
tigation-and the louder They became. the
more conspicuous the victims" They
were released, Of course. but not before
the entire country had been appraised TN
the ever generous news space writer that
those Italian art treasures arc in New
York for sale. The c%ntcrpri~ing feature
seeking papers Of the country gave the
story center front page position. with the
customary new cartoon accompaniment.
and doubtless only after seeing the some
what suggestive story and cut adjoining the
front page Of their papers did the average
managing editor realize how he had been
left holding the bag. while the Italian ar-
list and his fair secretary smile tri-
umphantly in their New York hotel.
