Why the Paintings by
the Old Masters Last

Many persons think that the paint
ings by the old masters owe their
permanency in some degree to secret
processes now lost. AS matter of
fact, however, it appears that the old
masters used only those few colors of
which the permanacy was we'll es-
tablished, and that they avoided mix
ing colors known TO have a bad
chemical effect on one another.
1t is interesting to note the scien-
tific methods of detecting later-day
copies. Zinc white, where flake white
would have been used, protoplasmic
remains in the cells of the wood used
for the picture, and the transparency
of the bitumen in the shadows are
proofs that a picture is not genuine
antique. In respect to deterioration,
there may be mentioned the bad ef-
fects Of smoke and gas fumes; and
either light or darkness may bleach
a picture. Some pictures that have
been kept in the dark can be restored
by placing them in bright sunlight

those seeking universal disarmament
and asked me to explain reasonable
limitation.
"By reasonable limitation l mean
something practicable that there is
chance to accomplish rather than an
ideal to attain. We are dealing with
actualities; merely trying to do the
best possible under world conditions
now existing.
Universal disarmament will be
beyond hope of realization; even its
desirability at this time might well be
questioned. Thousands of years of
history recording the wars and con-
troversies Of mankind suggest that
human nature would require revolu-
tionary organization to make uni
versal disarmament possible. A con-
sideration Of the present state of the
world must, think, enforce the con-
clusion that this is not hopeful time
to undertake that kind of revolution.
"On the other hand, world with
the horrors of the recent experience
scared into the mind, and staggering
under the load of debt and arma-
ments, has generously justified our
hope for favorable attitude toward
the practical effort, the sincere begin
ming, that we are attempting. The
fine spirit in which leading nations
have received the invitation to meet
and consider these things is alto
gether encouraging.
"To undertake the impossible and
fail might leave our last state worse
than our first. The attitude of the
nations warrants confidence that we
will not fail, but rather that substan-
tial results will be accomplished, cal
culated to lessen the armament bur-

armed conflict. l feel that in such an
effort we are entitled to the support
of all people who would be glad-as

more accomplished if possible.
