FINGER PRINTS MAY HALTFRAUDS ’ IN FUTURE ART French Would Have Painters Use Bertillon System to Identify Pictures. Bu Timet Special PARIS, June 23.—The vast army of painters all over the world would be put through the same treatment acoorded a criminal who steps l*to the Bertillon measurement office, and their finger prints and personal peculiarities filed and preserved for posterity, if the French government could succeed in its efforts. Scientists in France, Germany, Austria, Italy and English have made great progress in recent years In protecting purchasers of pictures by detecting frauds and providing authentic works by means of the radiograph, microphotograph, dactyloscope and chemical analysis. Governments have adopted these methods for themselves in Judging the authenticity of paintings and have found the methods convenient and practical. The French government is preparing legislation to present to the League of Nations to make the finger-printing of painters fc'orld wide. " It is the plan to take the thumb iprints of each painted and maintain la card index of these identifications. •The painter, when he finishes a pic[ture, would sign in the customary | manner and over his signature in the wet pigments would smear his thumb so as to leave a mark. At any time in years to come it would be an easy matter to detect the tpue from the false works of these artists.

CENTURIES OF WISDOM

Mrs. Soda Mama

Bu NEA Ber>'ie NEW YORK, June 23.—They are centenarians, Just waiting their turn. These mottled eyes now blinking at the Harlem crowd that swirls outside the window of the old people’s home —they have observed the ways of mankind for more than a hundred years. These deep-cut and folded wrinkles —they tell of experience piled on experience. These withered figures—what buffeting have they overcome? A wealth of human wisdom is here. * • * "After all,” Inquires a ylsitor, “what is the greatest thing in life?” "Youth,” answers Mrs. Soda Massa, 106. "There's nothing so great as yquth.” "Success is greatest,” opines Be-* rele Bonner, 105, penniless. "Love,” answers the widowed Mrs. Rachel Fill man, 107. x And the venerable Mrs. Frieda Platner, 109 and uffable to totter out of her bed, gasps in contradiction of

"I'd put on a very short skirt, like a flapper, and what a good time I’d have!” "The most fun I ever had,” says old man Bonner, through his whis-

kers, "was in making money out of the other fellow. I'd like to back into business for myself right now.” But they make Mrs. Fillmah smile. She knows. "Love, of course,” she repeats. “My marriage brought me more happiness than anything. I married early and had six children. A good man—that is every woman’s happiness. Life for me ended when my husband died.” Mrs. Platner is 100 years old, and speaks but seldom. When she does she is revemced. She spoke now and the others listened. "The greatest thing in life,” she said, 'is Just the living of it Live life while you can, for it will end—all too suddenly. "And after the end of life there is Just waiting.” • • • And what IS the greatest thing in life? "The living at it,” the four agreed.

SARGENTS GHOST TEACHING ME TO • PAINT, SAYS GIRL Spiritualist Says Famous Artist Is Dictating Portrait. * Btt United Brett „ . LONDON, June 28.—John Singer Sargent, famous American portrait painter who died a year ago, intends to carry on his work from the spirit world and has already guided a medium's hand in painting an experimental portalt, Miss Louise Owen, leading British amateur spiritualistic medium, has declared. Under direct tutelage. Miss Owen said, she drew with ordinary colored crayon pencils an experimental self-portrait—the first at tempt she had' ever made either to draw or paint—which was rejected for the spring exhibition of the Royal Academy only after officials had tentatively approved it. Continues \Leseons "Sargent is continuing his lessons to me,” Miss Owen added. “He says he is determined to continue his work in the spirit world, and that as soon as our br&lrts and hands are properly co-ordinated, he will sign his own initials to the paintings he Intends to 'dictate' to me.” Miss Owen developed spiritualistic powers after the death of Lord Northcllffe, whose secretary she was for twenty years. "It was through Lord NorthcllfPe, with whom I communicate daily that Sargent's spirit began communicating with me,” Miss Owen said. "Sargent died here on April 16,

1925, On June 18, Lord Northcllffe's spirit said to me: “ 'Keep paper and pencil always near you, day and night, for a picture is going to be given through youV fiand from the spirit world.’ ‘‘l was naturally curious, and kept lfter him to toll me more about it, for I knew,, nothing about, drawing or painting. "A fortnight later, North Norchcllffe said: Told to Start “ ‘John Sargent is the man who will later draw through you.’ "Towards the end of September I was told to take paper and penell and make a start. I hesitated, saying I had no materials and didn’t know how to start. “ ‘Don’t worry; all you have to do Is hold the pencil,’ came the reply.
