as these are up in the thou
sands. But 1t would be q
genuine original by q master,
which would be welcome un-
der anybody's Christmas tree.
A real" Picasso - or
Braque or Matisse or Cha
gall - etching or lithograph
can be found in several To-
cal galleries.
These are numbered and
signed by the artist himself.
This means that the artist
personally has supervised the
lithographic or etching proc
eSS, and has affixed his sig
nature to signify this fact.
The number (for example.
1900, means it is print
number 18 in q limited series
: Of 100. After the 100 have
been run OF, the lithographic
stones or engraving plates
have been destroyed. Some
artists authorize only 40
reproductions, others 200 or
more.
In the Technology Of the
art world such Autographs
or engravings are legitimately
called originals.
Unsigned and un-numbered
Autographs or etchings cost
even less. These usually have
little or no resale value, al
though they may be very
pleasing esthetically, and
might be the solution for the
person who wishes to spend
still less and say he owns q

Veerhoff Gallery, for ex-
ample, has an unsigned
Picasso etching. a sketch of

it is not numbered and does
not have the artists penciled

it does have a Picasso sigma
ture in the picture itself.

Roby.
Art connoisseurs would not
cherish this, because there is
not any way Of knowing how
many thousands may have
been run of, and the absence
of the artists pencilled sig
nature indicates the repro
duction did not get his per-
Sonal attention.
In short, it would not quail
ify as an original.
But so far as the ordinary
beholder is concerned, the re-
production has as much eye
appeal as it would If signed
and numbered.
Veerhoff also has a sketch
unnumbered and with sigma
ture on the plate only, for $50.
Franz Bader has some un-
signed and unnumbered Pi-
caSsos for $35 and $45.
Although he stocks Pi-
caSsos and other masters for
customers who may want
them, Mr.. Bader puts up q
vigorous argument for buy
ing the works Of lesser known
contemporary artists instead.
He is featuring many Of
these. chiefly local Washing

Noted Capitol Newsmon

years a leading figure in WASH
ington journalism, died last
night at the Washington Hos

he served as editor of the
Washington Daily News. In the
intervening years he was an
executive of the Scripps-How-
ard Newspaper Alliance. He
resigned as Daily News editor
because, he said, his boss-Roy
w. Howard-didn't like Mr..
Roosevelt.
He served the New Deal in a
number of positions from 1888
to 1914; then he resigned TO
write a column for The Star.

retirement at his home, 2122I

In the yellowing newspaper
clippings there are references
to Mr.. Mellett as "the most
dangerous man in Washing
ton" And when Mr.. Mellett
headed the Office of Govern
ment Reports testers called the
agency "Mellett's Madhouse"
or the Office of Fuss and
Feathers"
In March, 1914, Mr.. Mellett's
resignation from the Govern
ment was announced with the
familiar exchange of Dear
Lowell" and Dear Mr.. Presi-
dent" letters.
Mr.. Mellett's letter said: I'D
like to renew my request that
l be permitted to resign and
return to newspaper work. L
honestly believe I can be as
useful doing that as would
be in more obvious public serv-
ice. If can contribute a little
bit toward popular under
standing of the problems facing
the country I am sure this
is so.
Star Offers Opportunity
"The Washington Star offers
me the opportunity to test this
notion. In full understanding
of my views and in full dis
agreement with many of them,

lish what I may write"

said: Seriously, 1 am very
much impressed by what you
tell me concerning the readi-
ness of The Washington Star,
and perhaps other newspapers,
to publish points of view con-
trary to their own"
And so for IL years Mr..
Mellett's column was printed
in The Star.
AS he began his career as
a columnist Mr.. Mellett said:
Il believe that I have consid-
cradle tolerance for the views
of other people. That may be
the keynote of my column"
Lived in Alexandria
For many years Mr.. Mellett
lived in a house on several oak
shaded acres on Quaker lane
opposite the Virginia Episcopal
Theological Seminary in Alex
andria. Some time after the
death of his wife, the former
Berthe Knatvold, in 1888, Mr..
Mellett moved into the city.
Upon learning of Mr.. Mel
let's death, B. M. McKelway,
editor of The Star, said:
"All of us in the newspaper
business will be saddened BY
Lowell Mellett's death. He made
his mark as an editor, as a
columnist and as a presiden-
tial advisor, bringing a liberal,
sensitive spirit to each area of
his activity. Few of us have
such varied opportunities Or
live up to them so we'll"
Member of Clubs
Mr.. Mellett was a member of
the Cosmos Club, the Gridiron
