BOGUS ANTIQUES FLOOD
AMERICA, PARTISAN SAYS
New York Museum and Louvre
Are Victims, He Asserts.

Paris.-America is heavily loaded
with bogus antiques" and the Louvre
In Paris and the Metropolitan Museum
OF Art in New York have been buying
spurious pieces for years, Jean Vigou-
.roux told the court at the opening of
his trial on charges Of divertlng funds
aad art treasures, filed by the Partisan
antiquarian, George Joseph Denote,
whose New York branch was formerly
managed by vigourouI.
The specific charges against vigou-
roux are based on the alleged diversion
lof $1,000 of the branch's funds and the
disappearance of Persian manuscripts
valued at 100000 francs, later recov-
fered by M. DeMotte. Vlgouroux was
arrested when he returned to France,
as ne claimed, to obtain justice.
{, Wgouroux denied any wrongdoing,
offered explanations of the alleged ir-
regrharities and turned the trial into
q public denunciation Of Denote as
'the worlds greatest antique faker."
His diatribes at times became so vio-
lent that the presiding judge in the
Twelfth Correctional court, where the
trial Is being held, threatened to have
him removed from the room If he did
not restrain himself.
'For twenty years the Louvre mu-
seun mas been buying bogus antiques"
Wxouroux testified. He declared the
directors of the Metropolitan museum
In New York had bought 100000
Francs worth of spurious art objects.

all kinds Of thoughts Of vacations
Everyone has his own peculiar idea
of the ideal vacation-mountains, riv-

to some relative or fsiend, but never
theless, q vacation. Some people
have the idea that vacation is a
luxury. 1t is not It is true, it will
cost more than staying at home, OF
keeping on with the work. but the re-
newed pep one derives from q week
off duty will more than pay for the
added expense.
A practical man would not volun-
tarily wear out a delicate. non-re-
placeable machine, neither will he
needlessly use up his energy by. a con-
slant grind Of business. A few peo-
pie believe in a transmigration of
souls, but most of US do not enter
tain any hopes Of getting a new body
when the present one has served its
purpose. Then why not take as good
care Of it as possible? Take vaca-

President Harding says that only

headgear when the Star Spangled
Banner was sung or played, but it is
