w YHEN the modern expert meets,
Y n ! analytlCally speaking. a ven
wv cradle Virginia antique, the
results may prove something
Of a surprise to both. The
potentialities of this situation have
been repeatedly demonstrated Of late,
in connection with preparations for the
Stratford exhibition here at the Textile
Museum December and 10.
The sketch of the famous Lee Man
sion pictured above is. for example now
associated with three dates, three his
toric periods. whereas before it emerged
from its discreet retirement in an
Alexandria album, the drawing was
merely An Old Drawing Of StratfOrd.
Originally the property of William
POberdean Swift. the album was dated
1912. and mOmentarily that date Suf-
feed for this sketch. But the drawing
was brought forth to do its part in the
exhibition to raise funds for the pur-
chase Of its model, the home Of gener-
atiOns of famous Virginia Lees DR.,
Tolman. head of the graphic arts de-
partment of the Smithsonian, was
asked to give the work its final Classi-
ficatiOn.
Date Found Earlier.
Then things began to develop. The
status of the buildings shown the
shrubbery seen about the grounds and
other evidence led the expert to believe
that the sketch was made shortly after
the completion of Stratford in 1929.
A second investigation promptly altered
this theory. DR.. Tolman applied a
chemical test to the parchment, and
found that it dated about 1920. An
eighteenth century drawing done in
1920? The problem had its frills. A
bit of shrewd deduction brought the
conclusion that the piece was an 1920
copy Of an original done about 1929.
It's presence in an 1912 album probably
came about inadvertently.
The experts role assumed a slightly
different aspect in connection with a
group of portraits owned by a Wash
ington woman related to both the JEFF
ferson and Randolph families. Believ-
ing that these paintings of Virginia
gentlemen and ladies might be Of in
terest at the Stratford display, the
woman asked Catherine McCOok Knox,
exhibit chairman and FriCk Gallery eX-
pert on early American paintings, to
view the canvasses.

It was announced at the White House
today that there is no particular sig
nificance attached to the fact that Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, Governor of Porto
Rico. has been invited by President
Hoover to be a guest as his Rapidan
fishing camp over the week end.
The White House was prompted in
making this announcement by published
stories that the Presidents Invitation
to Gov, Roosevelt might be linked with
speculation to the effect that the latter
is Mr.. Hoover's choice for the vice
presidential nomination in 1882.
Here on Personal Visit.
Tt was explained at the White House
that Col. Roosevelt is in this country
on a short visit, principally of a per-
sonal nature, and that when President
Hoover learned he was coming to Wash
ington Saturday he invited him and
Mrs. Roosevelt who is accompanying
him on this visit, to join the week end
party on the Rapidan.

BUSINESS CLIMBING
HILL, ROBBINS SAYS
American Life Convention
Delegates Told Business
Must Avoid Dangers.

Charles B. Robbins president of the
American Life Convention, today issued
p warning that I'VE are now laboring
up that last long hill from the valley
of depression. but business should not
forget the rules of the road"
Mr. Robbins was speaking before the
235 delegates from all sections of the
country who assembled at the Ward
man Park Hotel three days ago to dis
cuss the life insurance field The final
session was held this afternoon
Emphasizing that there still are many
twists and turns on the road back to
normally, he expressed faith in an
eventual sound recovery.
Bottom Reached"
ut is true" he continued, chat there
still is considerable unemployment in
this country and that many industries
are tagging behind, but men who are
in the best position to know the facts
are agreed that the bottom of the de-
preston has been plumbed."
The executive said there is no ques-
ton that the cost of living is lower
today than it will be when times get
better and payrolls increase. No Gov
eminent cureall," he asserted, can
bring back prosperity. Supply and de-
mand is fundamentally the rule of
remedy for present conditions is econ
omy and hard work"
The assertion that prohibition was
proving handicap in the insurance
field was discussed today by the dele
CATION. The issue was injected into
the program yesterday by C. Z. Anstett
OF the New York Insurance Co, when
he declared that for years we have
tried to report how many drinks the
APPLICANT takes each day; what he
drinks; how often he becomes intoxi-
Gated, and how recent was the last of
such occurances."
Under present conditions" Mr.. An
stett asserted, II question the possibility
OF obtaining this information with any
degree OF accuracy in large cities"
Drinking Opportunities Good"
THE opportunities for casual drink
ing in metropolitan areas" he pointed
out" are many times what they once
were. Every one who knows conditions
Is well aware of that. Add also the
fact that such drinking is not done
openly"
A warning was sounded by DR.. John
B. Nichols, medical director of the
Acacia Mutual Life Insurance Co.
against inattention to ascertaining the
total amount Of accident coverage held
by an applicant The cheapness of
accident coverage, and because suicide
may SO easily be made to resemble an
accident, together with the fact that
the applicant may with little money
accumulate an unJustiflsble amount Of
potential death benefit, has introduced
The speculative element into the field,
