ANCIENT ART IS
SOME INES
BOGUS
Romans and Creeks, and
Later italians, Caught
Manufacturing Antiques

The detection Of fraudulent an
tiques and curios and other bogus
works Of art has become a distinct
science.
Phaedrus, who lived and wrote in
time of Tiberius Caesar tells OF how
his contemporaries carved the name
OF Praxiteles on their marbles and
the name OF Myron on everything
they wrought in silver, in order
that their productions might pass
as masterpieces Of those supreme
Hellenic artists.
Though the Romans were an art.
loving people, they openly conntved
at art-fraud. Pliny says that lin his
time the coins Of Rome were SO
clumsily modelled and so basely cast
that several artists made new molds.
treating the designs of the mint
more carefully, and produced spuri-
Gus coins which were eagerly sought
in place Of the inartistic legal
tender.
Michaelangelo, piqued at the extra
VACANT attention paid the antiques
Ito the exclusion of interest in his
early struggles for recognitionl, con-
ceived the idea of doing an Erca in
marble after his own design, bury.
ing the work in mud for some
months, and then digging It up in
the presence of certain noble coIlec.
| tors who raved over its beauty pro.
claiming 1t the greatest relic IN.
tiquity had left them. Michael
angelo finally disclosed to them his
own initials, which he had carved
in a hidden fold of the wings, and
was highly amused at the discom-
future OF his companions who then
recognized the towering genius be
for them.
The forgeries Of GambelIo, Bias.
siano, or Giovanni del Cavino of
Roman medals were particularly
skillful, though not proof against
modern scientific methods of uncov-
ering frauds. 1t is known now
Andreini of old-time Florence forged
Greek signatures to ancient un-
signed intaglii ara how Flavio Sir
letti lent his skill to it with the
aid OF Plny's record Of ancient
sculptors.
The collection Of Prince Poniatow-
ski, nephew of the last King of
Poland. contained some three thou
sand fraudulent engraved gems. As
all OF these gems were very beautiful
in themselves, and as nearly all Of
their subjects were original with
their engravers, it is unfortunate
that such excellent and exqusitely
done work could not have stood
forth on its own merits TO cast fame
and not shame on the cunning
hands that produced them.
The Sienese were slxilful copyists
of the various trecento, quattro
cento and cinquecento subjects Of
art. Terra-cotta figurtnes and
Greek and Etruscany vases have
even been the subjects for the hand
of the forger and. fabricator 0f an
tiques. Pottery and porcelain have
always seemed. to tempt art.forgers
and imitatorS, and even Bernard
Palissy is believed by some to have
initiated the wares of Briot.

HEAVY VOTE IN
WISCONSIN
FORECAST
Republican Primary There
Regarded as Test of La
Toilette Strength

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. a.
Forecasts of one of the heaviest
votes in history were being made
today as Wisconsin went to the
polls for its State, congressional and
county primary election. Ideal
weather. 1t was expected, will help
to swell the vote.
Only Republican candidates are
in the race, but the returns will be
considered a test of strength Of
Senator Robert M. La Toilette, pro-
gressive candidate for President,
in that he has openly given his in.
dorsement of John j. Blaine for
reelection as governor. Blaine is
being opposed by Arthur r. Hirst,
former State highway engineer and
George F. Comings, lieutenant gov,
ernor under Blain.
Fred Zimmerman, candidate for
secretary of state, also has been
given the Endorsement of La Fol-
lite, but Governor Blaine has
placed his stamp of approval on
Theodore Danmann.

THE PASSING OF LODGE

There are thousands of men and women in this country who will feel no pahgs over the stripping of Senator Lodge of his prestige as a leader in the Republican party. Thoughtful people long ago lost confidence in the mans sincerity of purpose, let alone his pub lie record. Even Republicans distrust him. The Massachusetts delegation to the Republican national convention at Cleveland denied him membership on the resolutions committee, choosing Speaker Gillette instead. Less than decade ago , great American expressed the view that Lodge was the best man the Re- publicans could nominate for president. The, Republican national convention which nominated Harding for president at Chicago was largely dominated by Lodge. He framed the platform, pre- sided as temporary chairman, and sounded the keynote.
 Wilson knew Lodge; Lodge knew that Wilson knew him. Wilson had no con- fidence in his political integrity. Lodges record demonstrated that Wilson was 9 good judge. q had rather be dead dead man than dead live one," said Wilson not long before his death. He had in mind the political downfall of the Massachusetts isolationist. Wilson's prediction materialized even sooner than many believed it would. The country has come to look upon Lodge much as Wilson regarded him-as the cold, cal culating professional politician, who em- ploys every possible maneuver and utilizes every possible situation to carry out selfish schemes for selfish purposes. The eStransformation in the country judgment of Lodge has been complete. He dropped from high leadership and influence in his party to virtually an outcast.
 The passing of Lodge marks the end of a political career founded upon and developed through expediency. Not that he is any less shrewd and resource ful. The American people know him that is all. 1t is we'll that the judg- ment of Woodrow Wilson has been con firmed in this case. The country is safer and better off for it.

United States 1908 homicides with 108 executions, and in 1910 there were S;975 homicides with 104 executions?"
 The whole trouble is that we have per- nitted too much sympathy for the fam lily or condition of the murderer and not enough for the family and death of the victim; nor have we shown enough con- cern for the public protection, for those inevitable next victims who shall fall be- meath the murderer's blow because of the failure of justice. It is time that the benefit of the doubt be given to the innocent rather than to the guilty.

THE WAY TO STOP IT

There is protest against the practice of tacking cards and signs to trees, posts and poles on the streets of Birmingham. This is against the law and is punishable. If there is a genuine purpose to prevent this sort of dissertation of the streets, doubtless no more direct or feasible way can be found than to cause the arrest and trial of those whose names or busi- nesses are thus displayed in violation of the city ordinance, To be sure, inas- much as the law has been regarded as a dead-letter, like so many city ordinances, it might be only fair to give twenty or thirty days of grace during which, if the offenders remove the visible evidence of their offense, action against them will be dropped. But there are some people who will not obey a law that doesn't show it's teeth. They have found besides that many laws have no teeth only gums.

Watching The Parade
By JOHN PILGRIM

I feel sorry for the family next door. Just as nice folks, naturally, as could be found in a days ride. But they are growing up wrong. They are a sullen, quarrelsome. fault finding lot. Yet they ought not to be. Their heads are not shaped like that sort of heads. Their faces are not that sort of faces.
 Its the mothers fault" said Mrs. Pill grim. My beloved wife has her moments of instability She banged down a pillow as though she wanted to break the couch.
 Il hate all mothers," said she. "They re such fools!"
 We'll, they're not, of course, and she didn't mean it that way, and yet there is a good deal in what she said. The children next door are grown-up. The mother has cared for them and loved them and sacrificed for them. Thanks to a fair-sized little fortune and to her husbandry they have had every comfort, most 1uxuries, an excellent educa- tion and even a bit of broadening travel And they hate her.
 "Im blunt" she tells you. T always say right out what l have in my mind."
 Blunt, yes. But more than that. She is ill-bred. A person of just ordinary breeding knows enough to refrain from comment or the affairs of other people, but this mother doesn't. She catches upon the little white lies we all tell from time to time and under her douche of bluntness they become as scar let. She offers a nasty and ill-considered judgment upon ones friends and preens her self
 T know I'm blunt" she says.
 If it were not for the thin layer of cour- tesy and fibbing that interposes between us and our neighbors the friction of living would burn us up. It isn't any wonder that Oul neighbours children hate her. She loves then with bar If ha would nhharful1v sac. rifice herself, just as she has sacrificed her self all her life for them. They hate her.
 And they're right Parents cannot com mandeer love nowadays. They must earn it just as the rest of us do. One way to carr it is by not being blunt"

CONFIDENCE PREVAILS

Despite a marked decrease in thrilled orders of the United States Steel Cor poration last month, stability in steel shares is mantained d. Easing of money rates shows no unusually unfavorable effects upon general industry. Foreign securities are in a healthy condition. Most of them are holding their own or advancing. French, British, Belgian, Netherlands and others. which find many American investors, manifest tendency towards improvement In America the temporary slowing up in business brought about by seasonal and political influ- ences is in no sense discouraging, even though certain spectators are attempt ing to capitalize it to their own advan- tage.
 The most potent factor in the stabili- zatien of business conditions in this or any other country is public confidence in the fundamentals. The American people have almost unlimited faith in American resources and American op- portunities. That is what contributes more largely than anything else to keep industry in this country moving forward with increasingly productive results. Basic conditions are sound- Spasmodic and temporary let-downs fail to create hysteria in the business world. Reas- surance of early improvement serves as a tonic, and it is the future, rather than the present, on which all worthwhile business keeps it's eye.
 The Birmingham district has reason for optimism. Not only does existing activity in industrial lines keep workers minds on their duties, but heartens them for special effort. Production continues practically normal, many new enter prises contributing to a healthy general condition, while the tendency towards diversified industry carries a stimulating :, iyfluence. Of all times for preparation to do business on larger scale in the early future, this is especially favorable. With the ease in the money market, the urge for expansion would seem to be es- pecially strong.

Brief Nature Studies
By J. OTIS SWIFT

The Girls Reserve Group of the Pough- kcepsie Y. w. c. A., returning from ma ture hike through the forest of Rocky Lone some in Westchester. paused to admire the interrupted ferns, maidenhairs, wood-betony and violets in the wild garden of Clement Wood poet and naturalist, at Hastings. Striking were the delicate tints of red in unfolding leaves of young Heavca Trees of China, ailanthus. Why" they asked, the poet, "are the young leaves red and the older leaves dark green?'
 Because" he explained,' fin autumn the tree withdraws the magic chlorophyll, or leaf green, from leaves and stores it in other parts. The leaves having done their work as laboratories during the summer, are about to perish like old clothes, and the leaf green, by which the tree is enabled to manufacture food for itself in the presence of sunlight, is too precious to be lost.
 The young leaves are reddish when they first burst because the chlorophyll stored in the cellar or spare rooms has not yet reached them. When it does they turn green" s. .

Its work has not been confined to typical glee club per formances, but attention was given to sacred and classical music as well.

The Right Word
Final Winners
By CURTIS NICHOLSON

The seventh and last to earn 100 per cent. in the last test is Nellie Gilbert of Haywood, N. J.
 The last four to come through with only one wrong are Mrs. Virginia E. Flynn of Rockville Centre, l.. l.; w. E. Currie of Flushing, L. l.; M. G. Baird of Halifax, N. S., and George Ault of Spokane, Wash.
 "The Right Word" wishes to congratulate all those whose names have been published this week. and also expresses it's sorrow that it has been unable to reward more contest ants. Many of those who got more than one wrong fell down on that very trouble some fourth sentence. How should you like to be we?'
 Better luck next time.
 Watch for the next test.
 It was surprising that the ninth sentence was troublesome to as many as thirty three contestants. We all hope the day will come when every one will say, :'Your book lies on the table" and not, Your book lays on the table,"
 The tenth sentence read as follows "Who do you think found your watch?"
 There were twenty-four who for some req son or other decided that the right word was whom. Omit for a minute the expression 'do you think" and what do we have? Answer Who found your watch? It is now easy to see that who is the subject of found, and that do you think" is only parenthetical.
