FINGER. PRINTS AND ART

The story that the genuincncss of
painting alleged to be by Leonardo da
Ninci is sought to he proved by tho
famous artists finger prints opens n
new field for the use OF this means OF
Identification. up to this time mainly
applied to criminals. A dispute having
arisen between art experts over n

onesc." tho owner. New Yorker. mas
brought a libel suit for s5oo.oo0 against

but declare 1t to be a copy by another
artist of n genuine Leonardo now IN

both paintings are by the great Flor

Scotland Yard finger-print expert has
established tho fact that both pictures
were done by the same hand
Leonardo. 1t seems. followed n COM
mon Italian custom of those days In
modelling with thumb and forefinger
the freshly painted surface of his
paintings, so that there is no lack of
opportunities for comparison of the
prints. OF course finger print on ~
painting would be OF no value in idcnti-
fication IL an acknowledged print could
not be found elsewhere. out in this case
there is no lack of them and IL the
lines are distinct enough on the Mona
Lisa and other Leonardo paintings. af-

the plan of pressing the thumb care

Mayor to Request Funds for Clerks
 for Selectmen

Mayor Fred. Atwater will ask the Common Council to take action on furnishing funds to the Board of Se- lectmen for clerk hire, denied by the Board of Apportionment, Town Clerk Clarence B. Winton announced today, following a conference with Mayor Atwater last night. An opinion from tive to the matter and stating whether or not the. city should furnish the re- quired money for clerks will be read at the meeting, it was learned oday.
 At the last meeting of the Board of Apportionment the annual petition of the Board of Selectmen, asking for S1,000 for extra clerk-hire, was pre- sented by President James Small. Commissioner Edward Spargo, chair man of the committee on Selectmen reported the petition unfavorably, offices in City Hall could do the re- uuired work. The S1,000 appropria- ton was then denied.
 'If the council does not take action on the matter I will ask the Attorney General of the State to do something," Mir. Winton declared today. For the past fifty years extra clerks have been granted the Selectmen and I cannot understand why the petition was not granted. October, when the select men meet, is the busiest time of the year and extra clerks from other of ices in City Hall can not be spared. cannot spare any of my clerks. I have talked the entire matter over thoroughly with the mayor and he is In favor of granting the money. The council will ask the Apportionment Board to appropriate the money, have been assured.
