Their search is complicated by the fact that the painting has been missing since the 16th century, and the knowledge of its exist ence was communicated only a few weeks ago by Professor Gen naro Monti, of the Royal universi ty of Bari. Professor Monti came upon records of the work in the archives of the noble Pic- colomlni family. In 1542 Pier Francis Piccolo mini, a Slenese noble, gave his daughter Silva in marriage to Iniclo Piccolomlni. The records show that among the treasures in the bride's dowry was "a round painting of the Madonna, the in fant Jesus sleeping and St. John, the work of Raphael of Urbino, which is valued at more than 200 shields." Te archives yield the fact that the painting reached Naples. What happened to it is the present day puzzle. A Raphael Madonna is wortn a fortune, so the search Is worth while. A nation-wide spring showing of new Graham cars, of the vari ous models and body types which comprise the Graham line. Is be ing staged by Graham distribut ors and dealers throughout the county. "This spring display features the recently announced low priced sedan models, on the standard six chassis." said James Loder of Loder Bros. "These are the four-door, four-window town sedan, and the four-door, six window universal sedan, which share with all other Graham sixes and eights, the distinctive safety feature of laminated shatter proof plate glass in every door and window, as well as in the windshields. "Notable in the . exhibition, however, will be the special Gra ham sixes and the standard and special eights, with all bodies. engines, and chassis built In Gra ham plants. "The unusual power developed by the Graham engines, both on the six and -eight-cylinder chassis, will become readily- apparent to those who take advantage of the demonsratlon drives which are a feature of the spring show. This excess power is due fundamental ly to the exceptionally stiff and strong .crankshafts of these en gines, and the great amount of total bearing area with which they have been provided. "Only bv actually driving a Graham car can this power feat ure be appreciated. This applies also to the Instantaneous and ef fective action of the internal ex panding four-wheel hydraulic brakes; to the ease of steering, the unusual acceleration and the simplicity of shift In r gears.

Meurthe-Et-Mo- selle Province, France (AP) That the French Legion of Honor Is distributed not merely to the great and the near-great is proved by the case of Joseph Zaleskl, de scendant of a servant of former Kine Leckzinafel of Poland, who at the mellow age of 103, has Just his home a German shell demol- receired the red ribbon. This venerable peasant has been decorated by the French government because of his pro-1 fessional capacities as a pheasant and as a reward for his long life of toil. It is also given as a sign of France's desire to keep people working on the soil. The Zaleskis have been French subjects for several generations, and the patriarch of the family still practices his humble occupa tion. His son, who is an octoge narian, was wounded in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. Zaleskl, senior, talks glibly of the revolution of 1848. He gives a vivid picture of the reign of Na poleon III and recalls the visit which the Empress Eugenie paid to Luneville. He had two close escapes in the great war. While being shaved in ished his abode but left him with out a scratch. Two years later another and bigger shell made ruins of his new house while he was standing, smoking, on his doorstep. Control of - Grapes Is Endorsed By FRANK I. WELLER (Associated Press Farm Editor) WASHINGTON (AP) For the grape growers of California the federal farm board has endorsed a surplus control program. Under Its provisions "the com modity served pays for its own surplus" the " essence of the equalization fee principle Of the old McNary-Hangen bill. As outlined by .C. C. Teague, board memBer representing fruits and vegetables, a fee of SI. 50- a ton would be collected on grapes as they pass through the "bottle recks" of trade. This sum would be used to buy surplus grapes and hold then) off the market until it will abrorb them at a profitable price. Specifically, the farm board proposes that the owners of vine yards representing 85 per cent of the grape production of California sign a 1 0-year contract to pay to a control board, through their co operatives, $1.50 a ton on the en tire production of their vineyards. Withdrawal from the contract would be permitted after the third year on option of the signer. It is estimated that the capital of the stabilization fund so creat ed, would produce an annual fund of $2,550,00 or more than $25,000,000 in 10 years. With this fund the control board would buy surplus grapes wherever and whenever they were interfering with the maintenance of reasonable market conditions with respect to the sale ot the bal ance w.the crop. There Is an average annual sur plus of about 300.000 tons of grapes. The proposed tee system would create sufficient funds each year, the board believes, to re move and control a surplus of 350,000 tons. HUSKY SHELL MUD M ice GIVES MANY RIDES E OF ALASKA GEMR SEATTLE (AP) When the University of Washington crew races down the Hudson River at Poughkeepsie. N. Y.. next June in the annual collegiate rowing re gatta, the spectators will have lit tle trouble spotting the Huskies in their new cream-color "sport model" shell. Something new in racing boats has been manufactured for the Washington eight by George Po cock. internationally known shell builder. It was made out of Alas ka cedar, the same material Po cock used for racing oars. It is the first shell of its kind, and prob ably the last as the wood grows too small to use commercially for boat building. The Alaska product which was given Pocock as a present is Bald to be stronger than the conven tional red cedar used in shells. The boat was built a HUle higher than the average craft, making It more seaworthy. In Its beautiful natural cream color finish the new Husky boat stands out like a diamond among the older shells of the Washing ton fleet and it will be conspicu ous on the Hudson whether the crew comes in first or not.
