COPIES OF LOUVRE ART
ARE SOON TO BE SOLD
Works of Struggling Artists,
Stored Thirty Years, Were
Abandoned and Forgotten.

PARIS, November 20.-Copies of the
masterpieces Of the Louvre. made by
unknown or struggling artists, and
long stored in the basement of the
museum, are to be sold.
Most of the copies have been in
storage for more than thirty years,
abandoned and forgotten by those
who painted them. Some tell stories
of ambitious beginnings and discour-
aged endings. Many copies are but
half finished. while still others are
but dabs of paint.
Many American names appear in the
corners of these pictures of students.
who have long since left Paris
A majority of the names are impos-
sible to read, but a few have been
discovered of men and women recog-
nized in the world of art today. For
obvious reasons the youthful efforts
of these are not to be exposed with
the rI1mes apparent.
The tovers of art have been invited
10 come and see these unique pictures,
and to.buy them at their own prices.
SO that the basement may be cleared
for anotheE batch of abandoned ef-

DIAMOND CURB MARKET LIKELY
TO BE BANISHED BY NEW YORK

a few groups of their curb brokers
said by Maiden lane to be ex-
employees Of diamond houses-can
be seen whispering and display
ing their wares. Coupled with
the protests of established houses.
the police have been moved to
forbid lettering because one side
of John street, under repair, has
been closed to traffic and foot
space is nearly as precious as the
stones the merchants carry in
their vest pockets.
An exact estimate of the curbs
dealings is unobtainable. for in
most cases the brokers carry their
financial statements. as well as
their wares, in their pockets.
Many gems of great value. how
ever, are known to have ex-
changed hands. The brokers are
expert judges of stones and name
their price after what appears to
be the most cursory inspection.
