Two Judges Need
In 10th Judicial

A second judge for the Tenth
judicial district or the enforcement
of WaIlOwa and Union counties in
to two separate judicial districts
will be proposed by either Senator
Ebenhard or Representative Hyatt
in bills to be introduced within the
next few days.
The plan was broached by Eber-
hard at the meeting of the ways
and means committee, Monday
night, when Judge j. w. Knowles
of the tenth district was asked by
Eberhard to describe conditions
obtaining in the district at the
present time.
Work of the district as now con-
stituted was too heavy for one
judge, Knowles declared. More liti-
cation is now handled in the dis
trict than is handled in both Lake
and Klamath counties which con-
stitute separate districts. Wallowa
county alone has more litigation
than has Lake county and Union
county's litigation far exceeded
that of Baker county which was a
district in itself, he stated. Judge
Knowles favors the proposal to add
a second judge to the district, de-
claring that such a move would
greatly expedite the handling of
litigation in both counties.

K Ray to Show If
Pictures Are Good

Paris, Jan 25.-Monsieur Andre
Cheron, an X-ray expert, has
found the means of using these
rays to prove the authenticity of
old paintings. In a document re.
Gently read before the Academy of
Science NJ. Cheron shows that X
rays can reveal whether old paint
ings are genuine or whether they
are copies or even if they have
been painted over again.
Materials used in the days gone
by were of mineral substances and
such paintings subjected to X-rays
are very clearly reflected on the
plates. Modern pictures when
treated in a similar manner show
up very misty and are practically
undiscernible on the plates. One
plate produced by Mr.. Cheron
showed that a modern picture had
been painted on an ancient can
vas. The original was of a priest
which showed very clearly on the
X-ray plate, while the substituted
picture was that of praying wo-
man.

usual controversy over the sale Of
Oleomargarine and other substi-
tutes for butter. Representative
Davey of Marion county presented
a bill repeating the section in the
statutes providing for the keeping
of a sale book, wherein every pur-
chase of oleomargarine and other
butter substitutes must be recorder
at the time of sale, together with
the names and addresses of the
purchasers. Representative Davey
contends that the sale book for

Noted Sculptor
Would Build
Big Monument

(By International News SerVice.)
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 22.- Gutzou
Borglum, the noted sculptor, and
Don Alfonzo Louis Jerome de Bour.
bon, internationally konwn artist
have arrived in Atlanta and are
the guests for several days of S. H.
Venable at his home. "Stonehenge'
in Druid hills.
Mr.. Borglum is here to revive
an interest in the proposed Con-
federate monument on Stone
mountain, the largest monolith in
the world, which has been given
the Stone Monument Confederate
Monumental tassociation by ITS
owners, the Venable family.
The plan by which Mr.. Borglum
proposed to interest the people is
the projection of a wonderful dra-
ma, the scene laid on Stone noun
tain, which will be shown in NOV
ing pictures over the country.
The work on Stone mountain was
begun in 1915 and a public cere-
mony held at the mountain May
20, when hundreds of people from
all parts of the state were present
to take part in the dedication OF
the monument.
The Stone Mountain COnfeder-
ate Monumental association held a
meeting in April. 1919. and decided
ito put aside the work which was
already started, until after the
World war mission was ended and
the country became more normal
and responsive to activities of such
a nature. At the time Arnold
Broyles was chairman of a COM
mittee appointed to make a whirl-
wind campaign to raise money to
carry on the work.
The monument will represent
General Robert E. Lee, General
Stonewall jackson and General Jo-
seph f. Johnston as the central
figures, the other figures repre-
senting the Confederate army in
action, the figures in bas relief. di-
miDishing in size at the opposite
ends of the sheer side of the thou
sands of feet of granite.
Mr.. Venable has given the 300
feet of land at the base Of the
mountain, and this will be made
into a park
There will be a museum at the
foot of the monument with an ap-
proach through thirteen granite
columns, each one representing one
of the thirteen original states.
These columns will be inscribed by
the Daughters of the Confederacy
in each state represented.
The original thought to make
Stone mountain into a gigantic
for the heroes Of the
was that of William
Fl. Terrell, an Atlanta lawyer. Al
ter the idea was taken un and ad-
vanced by the United Daughters OF
The Confederacy and the assocla-
lion formed. GutZon Borglum was
selected to do the work.
