THE CoLoNEL's NEW BIRD

TOLONEL ROOSEVELT returns
~ from Trinidad with a story even
more remarkable than that of
the River of Doubt" If it were not
for the rather recent verdict of a
western jury against an editor who
limited rather broadly that the Colonel
took a wee drop" on occasion, we
might suspect the eX-President-no,
we didn't say neXt-had been doing
som ething more than exploring
asphalt lakes while on the island. 1t
is not every man TO whom it is given,
without a single drink. of seeing a
bird that looks like a cross between
Ham Lewis and q bad dream, has the
habits of an owl, the voice of a dog
and wears whiskers. Stories like that
are not designed to boost the eX-
cursionist business to Trinidad. but
the Colonel thoughtfully adds that the
bearded bird is not carniverous. In
fact that it eats nothing but nuts, so
that most of us-note we said most
of us-may still, with perfect safety,
spend our winters on the island But
what a fortunate thing that the Ford
Peace Party didn't touch at a Trinidad
port.

ANTIQUES TO ORDER
By Frederic ]. Haskin

oXidized by washing II in salt and am
monia and also by hydrochloric and
sulphuric acids. With a little appli-
cation of lampblack or turpentine it
looks aged enough to please the most
exacting collector. In the case of
metal objects the forger applies a coat
of black varnish and then polishes
vigorously until the black part is Wis
ible only in the hollows. Gold and
silver assume an ancient appearance
by the use of bisulphide of carbon,
and garlic will impart Just the right
amount of patina to tin.
The credulity of the art collector
is ineXhaustible. Aware that there
are only few Rembrandts, held as
priceless by the owners. he will allow
the art dealer to persuade him that
one has been permitted to escape and
is now hidden in an old house in
Paris, which he can secure for the
small sum of forty thousand. So easy
has this particular game become that
the art forger has even presumed to
trade upon the names OF living art
lists. One writer states that Corot,
Henner, Inness, Wyant and Homer
Martin were all successfully initiated
and forged In their lifetime, and that
T. Sidney Cooper found two hundred
and ilfty-f1ve spurious copies out of
two hundred and eighty-siX works
supposed to be his.
The art forger, of necessity. must

must understand chemistry, he must
be we'll versed in history and he must
be an astute businessman. The study
OF human nature, of acids with which
TO treat different articles, the kind of
hat Mark Antony wore and the COL
ors used in various periods must all
be within his ken. Some art forgeries

ceive even the best experts of Europe.
For example, acting on the advice
OF committee of infallible art con-
noisseurs, the Louvre purchased for
forty thousand dollars what was al
alleged to be the crown of the Scythian n
King Saitapharnes, presented to him
by the Greeks of Olbia in 200 r. G
or exquisite workmanship and intri-
cate design, the Louvre was Just con-
graduating itself upon its good for
tune in obtaining this treasure when
a French jeweler came forward with
the startling revelation that he had
seen the crown made by a Russian
named Rouchomowski. After much
heated discussion among the art au-
| thorities, a French editor went after
Rouchomowski and brought him to
Paris. There he was locked up and
told to duplicate the crown. which
he did with such apparent ease that
there was no longer any room for
doubt.
Giovanni Bastianini. a sculptor OF
the nineteenth century, turned out
cunning forgeries that deceived the
leadlng art institutions of Europe. His
bust of Savonarola created such q
stir that a Russian princess was only
prevented from building a temple for
1t by the timely appearance of an
Italian who proved IL to be a fake. n
Is now on exhibition as a forgery in

STAND BY TO ASSIST

HARRISBURG hundreds of low
III ers of water sports will await
with no little eagerness the ap-
pointment of the committee which is
to suggest regulations for boating and
recommendations for the ultimate
treatment of the Susquehanna river
basin"
The naming of such body is the
initial step toward placing this splen-
did feature of the city's out o. door
program on a permanent basis. That
nearly a score of river enthusiasts
representing every branch of aquatic
activity should take this initiative by
choosing George w. Reilly, member
of the City Planning Commission, as
chairman to select the committee, is
more than ordinarily significant.
The wisdom of the whole move
made at the suggestion of Park Ex-
pert Warren H. Manning, is obvious
Certainly permanent good should re-
suit The problems which were
threshed out with Mr.. Manning dealt
with practically every phase of the
basins" development = from boat
houses and bathing beaches to policing
and channel blasting. Soon the
municipality must plan to improve
the natural advantages just beyond
its front steps," soon it must regulate

the increased activities which such
development will provide. Who. then,
should be better able to help work out
the solutions than the enthusiastic
and experienced canoeist and motor
boatman?
Then, too, there are the fete day
possibilities. Who are better qualified
to aid in the preparation of programs,
special rules and so on to govern the
regattas and carnivals than the hust-
ling representatives of the ever-grow-
ing army-or navy, if you will-of
water sportsmen?
The committee will have a big work
to do. and, if it hopes to obtain real
results, it has its job cut out for it.
Naturally the whole city is interested.
And it is safe to say that all Harris
burg, in the language of the sailor,
is ready and willing to stand by and
render assistance"

PARTY PEACE
TINE avidity with which the Re-
publican voters of the State
have seized upon the report

TINE avidity with which the Re-
publican voters of the State
have seized upon the report
that party peace is to be re-estab-
lished is clear indication of the keen
desire of the rank and file of the party
for harmony. Indeed, the individual
voter has never seen any necessity for
a division of the Republican forces
at this time. Nor is this to be re-
garded as any reflection upon the can
didacy OF Governor Brumbaugh for
the Presidential nomination. There
are thousands of voters who look
more than favorably upon the Gov
ernor's ambition TO so TO Chicago as
the Keystone States favorite son.
Beyond question the Governor should
have had his way in this without a
fight, since Pennsylvania has no other
avowed candidate for the honor. 1t is
the futility of a contest that might
easily have been avoided-and which
1t is earnestly hoped yet may be
avoided-that is troubling the great
army OF Republicans who desire moth
crisis as to see the party present n
closely united front to the common
enemy Democracy. which would
he the only gamer from a split in the
Republican ranks at this time
Close friends of Governor Brum-
baugh, men who believe he has made
an ideal executive, who admire his
firm stand for local option and take
pride in the many constructive laws
he and a Republican Legislature, act
ing together, have written on the stat
ute books of the State, fear that the
Governor has been placed in a false
position. These friends are of the
opinion that an effort is being made
to have Governor Brumbaugh pull the
political chestnuts out of the fire for
certain factionalists who would make
of the Governors very proper ambi-
tions in the matter of the Presidency
campaign by which they may be
placed in control of the reins of the
party organization in PENNSYLVANIA.
Free from this influence it is generally
believed the Governors desire TO be
the PENNSYLVANIA candidate at Chicago
would meet with little or no opposi-
ton, and it is for these reasons that
Republicans of all shades of opinion
are hoping that peace may be restored
on a basis of party unity, with all
concerned standing shoulder to
shoulder for a great national victory
in November.

FRANCE AND MEXICO

An editorial in the April Woman's
Home Companion reminds us of the
real reason why France got out of
Mexico after the Civil War-a reason
that has considerable significance to-
day:
When the Civil War was over we
found France in possession of Mexico" "
we read. Our government intimated
to the French government that its
presence there was undesirable, and
the French withdrew. Why? Be
cause the righteousness of our protest
made Napoleon ashamed of himself
Not at all. 1t was because at that mo-
ment we had a million trained men
under arms. And having the million
men ready to fight. we did not have to
fight. That victory was won without
the firing of a single gun or the loss of
single drop of blood-because we
were prepared for victory"

But, before I invite you into my So
ciety and friendship. L will be open
and sincere with you, and must lay
this down as an established truth.
That there is nothing truly valuable
which can be purchased without pains
and labor. The gods have set a price
upon every real and noble pleasure.
If you would gain the favor of the
Deity, YOU must be at the pains of
worshipping him; if the friendship of
good men, you must study TO oblige
them; if you would be honored by
your country, you must take care TO
serve it, In short, If you would be
eminent in war or peace, you must be-
come master of all the qualifications
that can make you so.-Addison.
