broad experience and fine ability have become Invaluable to the federal gov ernm ent as valuable revenue agents. It will take years of training to de- velope corps of men anywhere near their present efficiency. Yet the in elastic salary schedules imposed by congress upon tho departments make it almost Impossible for Uncle sam to bid properly for the services of these men against the large private inter ests that are glad to employ them at douhle and triple their present sal aries
 And what is true in the revenue ser- vice is true in practically every oth- CT branch of the federal employment. Uncle Sam under the civil service rules is paying hosts of men double what they are worth. while under sal ary schedules promulgated by con gross, it cannot pay some of it's best wants half what they are worth.

They may, in the course Of time. attribute
to its malign influence the automobile accident
which made vinson Mclean at hts birth the sole
heir to the great Walsh fortune In 1905. when
automobiles rare. vinson Walsh, brother Of

was also In the and received injuries which
made her invalid for year
Two other children have been born to Mr. and
Mrs Mclean, both boys of whom is four and
the other year old.
AT the time Of the probatng OF his grandfa-
ther WaIsh's will it was found that there was
only S6210,00O to be divided between the two heirs
of the Mclean union Vinson and John r., Jr.
Young Mclean was a democratic youth For
several years his boon companion was u small
negro boy. His tutors said he exception
ally bright student, and he was popular with his
mates.
He was fond of animals. Fifty-six Shropshire
sheep were sent all the way from Colorado to Bar
Harbor by express for him. They came from the
big Walsh ranch, Wolhurst, Denver He
himself directed the purchase of great flock of
white Brahma chickens. ducks and turkeys, a Rus
sian wolf hound six blooded terriers, two Great
Danes and a half of other dogs and a great
number Of ponies
Are the McLeans supersttious about the beau
tiful gem? Nobody seems to know definitely. But
one of the stories about the since 1t been
in their possession seems to indicate that its evil
reputation had It's effect upon them.
Anyway, as the story goes, there was some hitch
about the payment 9f the purchase price of the
stone. 1t evidently was not because of lack of
monev There was law suit. In the course of
the controversy stories were printed to show that
Mr. Mclean harbored a feeling of timdlty be-
canse of the evil history attributed to the stone
and that he stipulated that the jewel should be
teken hack by the Cartier firm in the event that
anv tragedy occurred In the Mclean family within
six months Whether that story is true is not
clear but eventually formal announcement was
made nv attorneys connected with the suit over
tba purchase price that compromise had been
effected

which is worldwide belief that neither Christian
i+y nor civilization has been able to kill, will
min their faith on the evil spell of the Hope dia

found that he suffered financial and other
personal misfortunes.
Hope is credited with having given the diamond
to his daughter at the time she married the sixth
duke of Newcastle in 1851. But apparently II was
the fiction mongers and she who bequeathed
the gem to her son. Lord Francis Hope. that it
might get sensationaIly into the life Of May Yohe.
the American actress
This part of the story is mere fiction IL is true
that May Yohe married Lord Francis Hope. 1t
is true that she eoped with Capt. Putnam Brad
lee Strong. of a former mayor of New York
Lord Francis obtained divorce, and the wife
married Captain Strong. only to be divorced a
second time
But May Yohe although she has been quoted as
saying that she the Hope diamond only
twice and that her troubles due to its malgn
influence probably never saw the stone Ger
tainly Lord Francis had possession of II
So. when the story goes to say that he sold
1t for S16S0O0 to Joseph Frankel New York
jeweler, the statement is untrue.
II Is true that Frankel had the gem in New
York. Where and from whom Frankel acouired
the stone never has been made clear but the
stone went back to Paris and into the possession
of Jacques Colet, who bought 1t from Frankel
Colet has been reported as having killed himself
after losing his mind
Before that tragedy. however, the diamond Ia
reputed to have passed into the ownership of
Prince Ivan Kanitowski. and the legend promntlv
disposes of the prince at the hands of a mob of
Russian revolutionists. Thence the story skins tn
the murder of Mile. Ladue to whom the Russian
prince had loaned the diamond A iealous ad
mirer is charged with this murder
Next In the legend of the Jewel is listed Simon
Moncharides, of whose identity there appears tn
be uncertainty. But the legend sends him riding
close enough to precipice to be thrown over and
killed. Just before his death Moncharjdes is cred
tied with having sold the diamond to Selim Hahih

Be all that as 1t may. 1t appears that instead Of

The gem then passed into possession of p 4,
