PAINTED OVER COURT FlNERY
Ruse by Which Nuns Had Queen De-
picted as a Member of Their
Religious Order.

Through chance discovery in the
garrett Of ducal palace in Madrid a
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES romance OF a
wonderful Velasquez has been re-
vealed. Hidden for three centuries as
picture of nun, this portrait Of
Queen Isabella of Spain, the first wife
of King Philip ", has recently been
restored in London.
In the disguised picture practically
nothing but the face and hands of the
original was left uncovered, and the
secret was first guessed at owing to
the paint peeling away from the nuns
hood. when there was revealed the
fringe Of lace collar.
Princess Isabella of Bourbon was
married TO Philip in 1915, and in 1924
was staying in the convent of the nuns
belonging to the order Of the Descal-
EOS. AS a mark of the kindness she
there received she presented the nuns
with this Velasquez portrait of her
self.
Later Isabella wished 10 enter the
convent, but the pope would not con-
sent. The inmates of the convent
called in a painter, and secretly in
structed him to paint out the queens
court dress and the lace handkerchief
in her left hand, and to present her in
the complete garb of a pVofessed nun.

SCRUBS BEING CLEANED OUT
West Virginia Stockmen Making Wig

West Nirginia-largely regarded as

war-path To increase beef cattle pro-
duction and its output OF dairy prod
ucts by eradicating scrub bulls, which
are primary offenders against profit
able AMI progressive live stock hus-
bandry. Within few months parts of
West Virginia where the campaign Is
most active expect TO round out a
cleanup which will eliminate the
scrub bulls and leave the purebreds
as Dlonarchs of all they survey. The
case of Roane county. w. Va. is an eX-
ample of what West Virginia stockmen
accomplish when they go over the top.
The live stock specialists of the State
and officers of the Roane county farm
bureau have solidly backed up the
scrub sire cleanup.
Not a single man turned us down."
remarked the live stock specialist in
telling how the campaign TO Gust the
scrubs was conducted.
THE first of the year our local
stockmen made declaration of indie
pendence against scrub bulls, and work
was begun promptly In taking thor
Ough bull census. This investigation of
sire ancestry showed that there were
200 bulls in the county, of which 102
were misfit grades and scrubs, while
90 were registered pure-breds. There
were 81 registered Herefords, % regis
tered Angus, and - registered short
horns. Fortunately, the army of 102
grades and scrubs was not as formid-
able as 1t looked on the paper, because
90 of these low grade sres were year
lings. Furthermore. the census showed
that there were only 30 men who
actually made practice of keeping a
scrub bull"
By correspondence and personal con-
tact with farmers the state live stock
agent and the county agent waged the
battle. These men toured the county
day after day visiting the scrub bull
owners, holding meetings, and request
ing influential farmers to assist in rel
egating the scrub sires into the live
stock scrap heap. In the main the
