SEEK LIGHT ON CARS FATE
Recent Discovery Made Near Eka-

ties OF Authentic Discoveries.

The cars fate is the subject Of
a judicial inquiry. Evidence was CIV
en- that the jewels of the imperial fam
lily had been brought to Ekaterinburg
and concealed about the person of the
ex-grand duchesses and their suite.
Only July II, 1913, some peasants
came across a campfire abandoned
by Red Guards some eighteen versts
from Ekaterinburg. The peasants,
searching among the ashes, discovered
a cross Of emeralds, four bones from
woman's cOrsets, buckles from q
mans suspendets, slippers, buttons,
and some imitation pearls. A num-
Der of other significant objects were
discovered-a wOman's handbag,
scraps of material and lace smelling
of paraffin. splinters Of emerald and
pearl, and finally stone set in plati-
mum in an extremely dirty condition
whteb proved to be diamond worth
100000 rubles. An expert, called In
to value 1t. declared that the stone
must have belonged to a necklace OF
great value. A human finger, false
teeth. and splinters Of bombs were
removed from the shaft of an aban-
doned mine near by. The fl ger was
that of woman. Near the edge OF
the shaft other traces and splinters
of bombs were found. The inquiry Is
being continued by the government
Of Omsk. and II is hoped to bring to
light the burial place of the ex-impe-
rial family.

HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUA
FAv0RITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell Il

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out If they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms Of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
fiavoring ito improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind Of favorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious Of all
flavorings-chocolate. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity ofiTUXEDo Tobacco. p,...,
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus Q dash Of pure chocolate. gives

First Recorded Strike

Prof. Grant, In his outlines OF
European History" states that in 494
B. G. the plebeians, indignant with the
vigorous endorsements Of the law OF
debt, decided to withdraw from the
state. They marched out from Rome
and settled on what was called the
Sacred Mount. This was strike
for political objects and is the first
strike recorded In history. The num-
bers of the plebs and the services they
rendered made resistance impossible,
and the patricians yielded. The re-
suit of this secession was the forma-
ton of separate governments kind
of trade upion--for the plebs. But the
matter goes much further back, as the
Hebrew brickmakers went on strike
In 400 r. c. because they were re-
CURED TO make bricks without straw.

Can wheat explode! 1t not only can,
but does. Wheat explosions have

Of dust are thrown out by the ma
