Experiment In the use of the violet ray to aid In the detection of fraud in suspected oil palntlnca are being conducted at the University of California. By turning colored lights and violet rays on the canvases, the students believe that they will be able to discover wheather or not the paintings are authenttlc. "It Is inevitable that such a process will come into general use," Professor Ray Boynton of the art department declares. "The brush strokes show plainly, and if photographs are made wfTlle the lights are turned on the canvases, the kinds of color used are also shown.

When these are compared with the kinds known to have been used by the artist supposed to have painted the picture, any fraud can he detected. The Germans have used the same system in criminology for 1 a number of years, and this is simply applying tjie process to paintings." 1 Players Announced 4 For English Play March 8.

IN RED REPUBLIC Restoration of Monarchy Is Planned With Duke Cji ril as Czar. By Thlversat Service. March 8. A secret been formed with the object of re establishing the Russian monarchy and placing the Duke Cyril on the throne: It has branches all over the world. This organization was responsible for the revolt among the Red Russian royalist organization has troops in Moscow in September, when the White Army captured and held Kremlin for four hours.

Branches of the. exist in England, America, in various parts of the Continent, and In the Far East. Us. affalVs are directed by the Grand Duke Cylil from his office in Paris, or his villa at Nice. The grand duke has addressed a proclamation to the peasantry nnd working men of Russia, in which he promises: Control of land for peasants: Full liberty and freedom voting power for all workers.

SPIES IN ARMY. Spies and sympathizers in the Red Army have distributed copies of the-proclamatlon in the country districts. The Bolshevists are so alarmed at the progress of the Monarchist movement that they put to death all persons caught with the proclamation in their possession. "The Grand Duke Cyril," said M. Thaddee Wiltehinsky, head of the organization in Great Britain, "agreed to accept the position of head of the Royalist organization in response to a deputation from Russia which met him in Paris, and to accept the title of guardian of the imperial throne.

"Members of the deputation saw him Individually, not collectively, because they had to be smuggled out of Russia. It meant -death if they were cauglvj by the Bolsheviks.

Dietrich of the Daily Californian, and he declares that such steps would violate the theory of the conduct of a fta.te institution. "Over' crowded conditions in many of the leading universities of the country have re sulted in the suggestions that ma- triculation requirements should- be st iffened and- that fees be-charged," he writes, "In state institutions, fees cannot be charged to reduce the number of entrants, but the growing inadequacy of equiphient lends strength to the plan to tighten the requirements. Such action would be deplorable, and a direct violation of the theory of tPue education.

Because of the-! increasing popularity of university training and because of the growing demands of the several groups of society, new ideas in eduea- tion must be found to meet the situation."
