IMPORTING SHAKESPEARE AND LEONARDO

A midde-aged, bald-headed farmer from Buck
inghamshire, England, who says he "never read a
book in his life," has come to America with an
amazing collection of alleged Shakespearean relics
He tells a romantic story of how furniture,
candlestcks, clothing shoes, ETC., once owned and
used by the greatest of poets and dramatists,
preserved in concealment for three centuries and
finally came into his possession. If I'll ase relics
are genuine, they are worth millions. The owner
wants to sell them and settle down in Buffalo with
his family.
There has also come to America, at the same
time, a Russian noblewoman of ancient lineage,
bearing painting which she declares is the work
Of Leonardo da vinci the great Italian artist, who
was a genius as supreme as Shakespeare and more
varied in his gifts. This canvas. she believes, was
painted from the same model who sat for the price
less Mona Lisa, most famous portrait in the world,
1t has been in her family, she says, for several
centuries.
Thousands of Americans would give fortune
for any relic of Shakespeare or any work of Leon
ardo proved genuine.
There is considerable doubt expressed as to
the authenticity of both of these remarkable effer-
ings. But there is at least fascinating romance in
the stories the tell and the kick they give
to the Imagination Of collectors, and lovers Of arr
and literature.
The big fact. however. is the new evidence they
bear tia, America IS recognized the great marke;
for the artistic and antique treasures Of the whole
world. Big and valuable things inevitably find
their way TO this country. Art goes whe<e wealth

RAPID POPULATION GROWTH


The population Of the United States, according
to the estimates Of the Bureau of Economic Re-
search. has grown more than 100000 since
1890. This is quite as fast as the rate that pre-
vailed previously. From 1910 TO 1920 the rate of
grswth was about Is per cent but apparently now
tie rate is about 16 per cent.
1t had been expected. when immigration was
restricted and when many people had smaller fami-
lies. that the rate of growth would fall. But no
doubt war conditions during the previous decade.
which largely stopped immigration, slowed up
population growth some.
The amazing growth OF the country shows that
our population is still far from being crowded.
There is yet for all Of our people, though
from now on we should not think so much Of guam
tity as quality.

PATRIOTS DAY-AmERIcAs NATAL DAY
(By Frank w. Lovering)


Today in Eastern Massachusetts,, at Concord
and Lexington, celebration is being held-an an
nual ceebration-which bears the stamp of a
birthmark in American history. One hundred and
fifty-one years ago the "Minute-men of Seventy
five routed the encroaching British and drove
the Redcoafs down the lane" to defeat that later
spelled our country's freedom.
Longfellow has preserved the moments in his
Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" classic that
viii never die. One year ago. in observance of
the hundred and fifteth anniversary of the Battle
of Lexington and Concern, a marvellous pageant
was put on just above the site of the "Old Befry"
near Lexington Green, which attracted thousands
of people from all the northeast This pageant
is to be reproduced once each ten years.
The "odd-year" periods less conspicuously
observed, but all Eastern Massachusetts this
day is holiday, held sacred to the memory of to
heroic farmers who fought, and of whom many
died where they stood.
Each year the ride of Paul Revere is repro
duced before cheering thousands in the Middlcsex
Valley towns and cities through which at midnight
Revere rode on his fiery steed "a shape in the
moonlight bulk in the dark in the Revolution
airy days of long ago. The children of today get
as much of thrill as their elders when Revere.
goes Gathering through madly shouting, ITO arms!
To arms! The British are comingv'
Recent history revealed another rider that
sent back through Roxbury to warn Concord and
Lexington in case Revere might fall into British
trap. Dawes ride is also portrayed each Patriots
Day now, and the horsemen meet in Arlington and
sweep north to Lexington and Concord in noisy
comradeship.
u The riders leave at instead of midnight;
they print the memories of the thrilling date more
indebly in the mind of every Motion pic

news writer's in every city and town on the Middle
sex Valley road and many columns printed
Of this tingng hour when Revere and Dawes in

Revere leaves Charlestown opposite the old
North Church which still stands and wherein wor-
ship is held each Sunday, and from whose tower
the lanterns flashed: "One if by land and two if
by sea-" He sweeps over Winter Hill in Somer-
vile and down along the Mystic River marshes

WHY THE PRESS is SOMETIMES DISHONEST



In justice 10 the accuracy Of our news staff
We feel il incumbent to state the circumstances of

question of the drain of historical ob-
Sacts from the country to other lands.
chancellor Churchill said that the
question had been investigated by a
committee under Lord Curzon in 1919
and that there was no cause Tor 1ur-
ther action or inquiry.
There has been q movement in some
sections of Great Britain recently to
prevent the growing practice OF
wealthy Americans purchasing his
toric buildings in England and trans.
porting them piecemeal to the United
States. The most recent measure was
introduced in the House Of Commons
last February by Sir Henry Slesser.
Sir Henry particularly mentioned the
case of Warwick Priory, which was
purchased by Alexander W. Weddell,
