RECEIVERS LOST JEWELS
AFTER NINETEEN YEARS
Accidental PerusaI of a Stray
Scrap of Paper Leads to
the Restoration.

LOUISVILLE, KY. January 19.-Acci-
dental perusal by a woman In San Fran
cisco Of stray piece OF the lost and
found column torn from a Chicago pa
per. published nineteen years ago. will
result in a Louisville woman recovering
jewels which she lost while attending the
Columbian exposition in 1893.
The owner of the jewels is Mrs. H. C..
Turner of Belgravia, this city; the finder
is Mrs. B. i. Marks of San Francisco.
They were in Chicago at the same time.
Mrs. Turner mislaid two diamond rings
and one with a ruby set: Mrs. Marks
picked them up. Then began a fruitless
quest on both sides: the one to recover
her rings. the other to restore them. Not
a clue was found by either, though Mrs.
turned to California with the jewelry,
while Mrs Turner came home and gave
up the search years ago.
She had almost forgotten her loss when
a district detective called on her yeSter-
day with letter which Chief of Police
Lindsey had received from Mrs. Marks.
The letter said that while looking over
fragment of lost ad" on the back of
a clipping taken from a Chicago paper
in 1893. 1t reminded her of three rings
she had found in that city the same year.
and she was surprised upon reading the
notice to see the identical rings described.
Parts of the name and address of the
advertiser were cut away, but she made
out the word Louisville. and she re-
quested Chief Lindsey to find the owner
of the rings With this clue and an old
city directory the detectives took up the
search. The rings are valued at 81 500.

back into the state treasury because not
claimed by the county within the years in

the commissioners Is that whatever Of
the county's share OF the state aid road
money is not used by the county within
the years in which it is allotted should
be allowed to accumulate. to be used by
the county whenever desired.
If the proceedings are successful IT is

is necessary to improve the road from
Woodmont to Glen Echo, distance OF
about three and one-half miles, and the
road from the District Of Columbia line

HALF 4 DOZEN AIRCRAFT
TO Be BOUGHT BY ARMY
Lack of Officers for Detail to

Drawback.

Five or six additional aeroplanes will be
bought for the War Department before
the end OF the present fiscal year. 1t has
not been decided what type of machine
will be selected, but American manufac-
turers will be given the preference and it
Is not likely that the long talked of for
eign monoplane will be imported at all.
The chief thing now limiting the activity
Of the army in aviation is the lack Of Of
ficers for detail to the flying squad. There
are now six officers who are qualified pi-
lots. II more can be spared they will be
given the flying detail. There is already
a long waiting list Of applicants -Four
officers have been recommended as the
next selections as soon as they can be
spared from their present duties. They
are Lieut.. Leighton Hazelhurst, 18th In
fantry; Lieut.. Jacob Fickle. Goth Infantry;
Lieut.. Archibald Colley, 10th Cavalry. and
Lieut.. Francis Delano Coast Artillery.
Proposed Increase in Pay.
Two bills have been introduced in Con-
gress fixing the status of army aviators
The most favorably considered is that by
Representative Hardwick of Georgia, who
proposes to double the pay of active avia-
tors. So far the army has done nothing
to recompense the officers for this special
|
work
In France. England and Germany there
is a regular addition to the pay of Off
GERS on aviation duty. and i'm France be-
side this there is a mileage record kept
of flights by officers. and they are paid. a
premium on that also.
Reports that are received weekly from
tho army aviation camp at Augusta, Ga.
indicate there is almost daily flying, and
| the officers are getting more and more
proficient.
Activity on the Navy Side.
There Is considerable activity on the
navy side. The naval aviators have been
sent to San Diego, to the Curtss camp on
North Island, where there are daily ex-
pcriments with hydro -acroplanes Cur
