The city council, with scores of
complaints on lta hands, put the
matter squarely up to Chauvln. It's

CCC workers excavating the site of

were 21 other townslten similarly
marked, Plory believed. Their loca

IN WAR BEGUN
TORONTO, Ont. (UP) The story

for cowardice and desertion during
the World war la to be told for the
first time in the official record or
the 1st Canadian division, "The Red
Patch." now being complied.
"Our history," Harry E. Munn,
head of the division association
sponsoring the book. declares,
"could give the names and the
story of every man who was exe
cuted In the Canadian corps, but
that painful part of the war will
be treated delicately by the histor
ian. Though relatives of the men
will be respected, we propose to
furnish the book with a graphic
and hitherto unpublished portrayal
of executions In the grim dawn"
Kim Bon t tie. the historian, said
he haa the names, numbers and
full details of every man who was
shot.
"This book," he said, "will dispel
the rumor that still persists that
no Canadians were executed, and
that those condemned to die for
desertion were confined In a secret
prison and released at the end of
hostilities."

BK X-RAY TESTS
NEW ORLEANS (UP) X-ray
photographs have penetrated three
centuries Into a blackened canvaa
here and proved a painting to be
the work of a Spanish master, sec
ond only, perhaps, to his works
owned' by the Spanish government.
The artist Is Francisco Zubarren.
called "The Caravagglo of Spain1
and "Painter of Kings and King
of Painters." His canvas Is a pic
ture of a saint. It la owned by
Wlllard R. Case of New Orleans.
I'se Various Rays
Authenticity of the canvas was
shown by Albert Marshall, an artist
who has specialized in the use of
X-rays, Infra-red and ultra-violet
rays with photography to test paintings.
The Zubarren hung In a convent
at Natchitoches. La., for more than
100 years. Case believes It was orig
inally furnish the church by a
Spanish king, as was . the custom
for many early churches in the
New World.
Under Marshall's X-ray the sig
nature of the artist was shown with
the word "Anno " beneath. Testa ;
revealed the original vividness of
the red, blue, brown, white and
yellow mineral pigments. In addi
tion to the signature, Marshall said
a comparison of brush work, tech
nique and pigment proved the can
vas a Zubarren.
Doubt Removed
Marshall said scientific research
on old paintings narrowed their
genuineness to a fine, point, if there
was a question of authenticity.
"The number of paintings bought
and sold as Rembrandt, for in
stance, have been six or ten times
as many aa the artist could have
painted," he said. "Yet for all these,
there was the word of some ex
pert to say It was genuine. Now,
when experts disagree, chemical tests
and photographs settle the dispute."
