Will Back Party In Return for Acceptance of Plat form Demands Ignored
 By Republicans
By Assooiated Press

Montreal June 1.-The American Federation of Labor, in convention here made preparations tonight to of fer the support of organized labor to the democratic party in return for it's acceptance of the labor platform de- mands which leaders declare the re- pGblican party has ignored. Labor leaders announced tonight that the subject would be placed before the federation's convention tomorrow The first step, they said, would be a con demnation of the republican party, to be followed by an appeal to the demo- cratil party for incorporation of labor's policy in its platform
 Samuel Gompers and other labor leaders were in session late today pre- raring plan of action. They de- clined to divulge their decision, but in- d1cated drastic action against the re- publican party would be proposed"
 Delegates and labor officials showed considerable sentiment for the forma ticn of labor party.
 Those close to MT. Gompers, how ever, asserted tonight that the action of the republican convention would have no effect on the partisan po- litical programme, and there was mot the slightest possibility" of labor put ting a party in the field this year.
 WESTERNERS PRESS CLAIMS
 Pacific coast delegates, advocates of a labor party, made use of the situ- ation and pressed their plan to have the convention authorize a committee to investigate during the next year the fcs sibility of an organized labor party and report at the 1921 convention. If they get sufficient support for this pro- posal they are prepared to place it be- fore the convention early next week.
 The only resolution adopted by the convention today provided that "every effort be made by the organized labor movement to the end that schools, hos pitals, asylums and other similar pub +: or private institutions, factories as we'll as other forms of buildings re-

You Will Never Forget
A DiScredited Fad

Immutabity belongs alone to God and His laws, but fads and fashions are changeable, evanescent and transent--especiay fashions of women's dress and the fads of doctors.
 For twenty years the hobby, fad, of thous- ands of doctors has been the cutting out of the dix of those who had pains in the abdomen, and for twenty years I have constantly warned the people in my advertisements and consultations against being too easily persuaded to accept the advice of geonS who recommended surgical operation and re- moval of the appendix as the only means ,ot belng cured.
 I have in my public advertisements for more than twenty years declared my honest opinion that nnety-fve per cent of those socaled chronic or re- curing of appendicitis in sense afec- ton of the vermorm appendix but, in reality, only the symptoms of bowel trouble due to intestinal ind gestion and advised those afflicted to consult me be- fore submitting to surgical operation but hundreds Nof men and women who did not take my advice are ROW asleep under the leaves and the lilies waiting for Gabriel to sound revele on resurrection morn, when they may and ascend hgh or shoot the chutes as may perhaps you and l.
 For he benefit of any may hereafter have troubles with their "tummes'' herewith submit the following hem printed in an afternoon paper of this city few days ago and will suggest to those who may here after be advised by to part with that little innocent harmless dnge in their bodies, the verm- form appendix, to call and consult me before sub- hitting themselves to the of the knife as can produce hundreds of testimonials of patients who permanently yreieved by me of what other doctors pro- nounced appendicitis and said no cure could be ef- fected without surgical extrpation of the appendix Read the newsitem which here follows and see how the fad is giving way to reason and fact

many of us would like to think that
Columbus has the fine features of the
Tallyrand portrait, which portrays
him as young man long before he
conceived the idea of coming to this
country.
The Albany or Farmar type shows
Columbus as a very young man and
hangs in the State Capitol at Albany.
1t enjoys the distinction of having
been longer in America than any other
portrait of Columbus. The face is that
Of young man, the hair is red
brown and the sleeves Of his coat are
slashed and the collar is large ruff
Back of the picture is a caravel and
beyond the water is city with tower
which resembles San Domingo. This
picture was handed down through
many generations
Bearded Pictures
The bearded type of picture is many
and varied.
The Thevet portrait Is one of the
best etchings. as Thevet must have
seen him in life as the artist died In
1855. A French engraver copied this
and 1t is in Brussels. The portrait Is
not very attractive, as it shows un-
kempt hair. full beard and a rather
square face.
The Parmiglano portrait of Column
bus is by Girolama Francesca Maria
Mazzolo who died in 1540. 1t was
! painted for Parmlgiano and was re-
garded by Prescott, the historian. so
well that he used 1t in his history of
Ferdinand and Isabella. 1t gave Co.
lumbus curly beard. A copy was
made by an Italian artist which now
hangs at the American Antiquarian
Society at Worcester, Mass.
OF course. there are many more.
The De La Costa picture. the Rinck
picture. the Hull picture. the Moro
portrait, the Mengs portrait. the Jo-
mard picture and the Berwick-Alva
portrait, the Lotto portrait among
others, but they all seem to have a
smattering of the famous Jovian por-
! trait.

found its way TO De Orchis gallery
and was passed down through genera
tions until 1S4S, when the last male
heir died and sister inherited the
estate. She died in 1870 and the por-
trait came into the hands of DIR. Ale
sandro de Orchi. Several times the
pedigree of the picture has been dis
puted, but 1t is such an excellent work
that many people have declared that
it was painted by Raphael. Naturally
all of them have sprung from the
Jovian portrait. but this one seems to
have treatment Of particularly
strong hands.

Versailles Portrait

The Versailles portrait, which is in a
museum by that name. is almost un-
known and in the year 1888 was in
Brussels. 1t was considered so fine by
Thomas Jefferson that he was for a
time undecided which he should have
copied. Several students came from
Spain and Portugal to examine it and
while they all thought II fine picture
they considered 1t much younger than
Columbus at the time 1t was painted
This, of course, does not interest the
student who simply wants a good pic
ture of Columbus at some time in his
life.

Description OF Columbus
According to Barholme de las

Indies. Columbus form was tail
above the medium, his face long and
his countenance imposing; his nose
aqnillne, his eyes deep blue; his COM
plexion light tending toward de-
cided red; his beard and hair were red
when he was young but cares had
early turned this white. There were
many portraits painted of him. which
are hanging in different places,

when Columbus was old which is
somewhere in Spain. as 1t has been
moved so often. This is considered
one OF the best by art connolsseurs.
