 Remove It.

OLDEST CROWN JEWEL
 IS MAGIC SAPPHIRE
Stone Once Set in Ring of Edward the Confessor Said to Have Power of Curing Sciatica.

Only a few of the early British roy al jewels survive in the present re- gaha- The oldest of these is the sap phire of Edward the ConfessOr, which was originally set in his coronation ring.
 It was buried with him in his shrine in Westminster Abbey, but in 1101 the shrine was broken open and this and other jewels received.
 The sapphire is in the cross on the top of the Kings state crown. Legend has 1t that St. John once appeared be- fore the ConfessCG as a pilgrim, and that the monarch gave him the ring, which was returned later. The stone is reputed to have the power of curing sciatica and rheumatism, but has not been used for this purpose recently.
 The Black Princes ruby, as big as a hens egg, came into British possession in 1867, having been taken by Don Pedro of Castfle from the Moorish King of Granada, whom he slew in battle. The Black Prince wore 1t. Henry " displayed 1t in his helmet at Agincourt. Richard IT., hunchback, wore it at Bosworth Field. Today this ma gnficent gem occupies the place of honor in the front of King Georges crown.
 Some wonderful pearls in the rega- lia are said to date from Elizab eth S time, though such age for a pearl is doubted.-F'rom London Answers.

MAINE GOVERNOR
 SWEARS OFF
 FAVORITE SPORT

Augusta, Me. Oct. 24.-The hunting season is on.
 The nimrod goeth afield with his dog to seek luscious birds and other game. There is one erstwhile nimrod who will not shoulder a gun. Once an ardent sportsman. Cover nor Percival P. Baxter, of Maine, has quit the chase.
 There was a time when the gover- nor was one of the first to take to the woods in the autumn, but now he will shoot neither bird nor beast. This despite the fact that Maine is a verit- able sportsrnan's paradise. In addi- tion to a wide variety of small game, deer, bear and moose are plentiful.
 Governor Baxter maintains a ken mel Of I-ish setterS as highly blooded as any in the state. He has had the same family of settlers for years, since the time he used them for bird shoot ing He does not pretend that the dogs have experienced the same change of heart as he.
 The governor is having erected monument to all the dogs he has owned since childhood that have since died. His reputation for kindness to animals, both domestic and wild, is wid ely known.

MAD MODES IN AUTUMN STYLES
 STARTLE PAREE

Paris, Oct. 24.-Parts is wearing it's autumn face, and it's autumn face, of course, means it's new clothes face The two are synonymous, for Paris all herself completely at least four times a year.
 It is the autumn re-dressinge that she enters into with the greatest zest
 The first violets have appeared in the streets, and so it p1eases madame to dress almost exclusively in violet. Cyclamen mauve tening to purple, amethyst, fuchsia and heliotrope - these are the colors madame is wear ing.
 Her clothes must be amusing. too She would rather have amusing clothes than any others. That is why monkey fur is still so popular. It is amusing, or it would never have been tolerated. But it has been "in'' for two or more seasons.
 So the little god who sees to madame's amusen1ents casts around for fresh diversions and produces the Aunt Jane'' handbag.
 Paris has gone mad over Aunt Jane.' She is a. formidable, poke bonneted creature dressed in rusty black taffeta. She carries a. reticu1e in one bony hand and tiny spctac1es on her absurd wooden nose But a slit in her -voluminous skirt reveals a sec ret handbag lined with rich satin and containing a miniature and complete dressing table outfit
 Next in favor come the Punchinello walking sticks and the Caliban ''brol1ies." Faces make the handle faces of which nightmares are made, and the uglier and more grotesque the face the more is madame pleased.
 WaiStbelts of turkey skin and shoes of snake skin are graciously looked upon, and so are the Egyptian boudoir caps with their wired and jewe1-eyed serpents that dangle over their ear.
 Toques are as varied as the faces beneath them, and some might have been designed by Robinson Crusoe in his spare time.

CLEVER BOWER BIRDS
 BUILD BUNGALOWS
Tiny Buildings Decorated With Flowers and Other Bright Objects = Garden in Front of Houses.

Arbor-nke bungalows are built by Australian bower birds. Those bun galows are decorated by the birds with flowers and bright objects.
 Sometimes one bird will move a flower placed in position by a fellow. The result is a free fight, for none of the birds will tolerate interference or criticism.
 There are several different kinds of bungalows, and each is built by a va riety of the bower bird. These struc- lures have nothing whatever to do with the birds nests. There is a gar den in front of the bungalow, and great attention is paid to keeping this fresh
 Some of the birds prefer shells as garden decoration; others use gayly- colored beetles and other insects, while one bird lays out lawn of moss, which it decorates with all kinds of odds and ends. As soon as any part of the garden becomes faded, the moss, leaves, of flowers are carried to a rubbish heap behind the bungalow.
 Dancing displays are given on the lawns, especially att courting time. when the males adopt all kinds of queer attitudes and sing songs to at tract the attention of the opposite sex. From London Tit-BitS.

RECTOR CLAIMS HE
 MET GOOD ANGEL
 BY APPOINTMENT

Norwich, Eng, Oct. 24-Much con- troyersy has been aroused by pub lie declaration on the part of the Rev. G. Maurice Elliott that he has seen and walked and talked with angels.
 MT. Elliott is the rector of the Lin- colnshire parish of Snitterby. He has given a circumstantial account of meeting with an angel at a time when his wife was seriously i'll and medical opinion was divided on the question of performing an operation on her. My wife and prayed that an an gel might be sent to tell us distinctly whether an operation was required" ;" says MT. Elliott. 'The angel came to us. We both saw him. He was of Ithe male sex. bright and shining in appearance. and dressed in white. He said: Tn answer to your prayer the Lord has sent me to tell you that the specialist who advises an operation is wrong in his diagnosis, and that such operation would be fatal
 I said to this guardian angel: Will you now lead me to some medical man or surgeon who will prove to me angel replied: Yes and told me to take my wife to Brighton.
 we went to Brighton and the angel led us to certain hotel and told us to next to us at table would be a leading London surgeon, and that after din ner he would go up into the drawing room alone, and that I was to follow
 
 until I extracted the pEomise from him that he would examine my wife that night.
 'All this actually happened. The surgeon. who. was a Harley street man. examined my wife that night and assured me that no operation. was needed and that everything would come out all right.
 'tI then told him that I was told to speak to him by 8 guardian angel. to which he replied: T am not in the least surprised, because before I left London to come here for a few weeks rest by the sea T knelt down and ask ed God to lead me to some one to whom my knowIede ee and skill could be of real help We grasped hands and gloTied in the fact that there was such .. thing as lively faith.'
 Mir. Elliott holds firmly to his be- lief that a persons guardian angel is always with him. There are many men and women with peculiar psychic gifts, and in the presence of such per 5o25 angels are able to materialize."

Morgantown. W. Va, oct. 24.-The principal matter before the fourth annual conference of the American Country Life Association, to be held at New Orleans November 10, II and 12. is to consider means to abate in some degree the age-old rivalry be- tween country and city dwellers.
 There is wide range of topics to be considered, dealing with the relations of the town or small city to the outly- ing country. This relationship is four sided, including trade, social, church and school, all of which are of great importance.
 The tentative program prepared by the secretary, N. T. Frame. of Nor gantown, promises to bring out the arguments for and against such ques- tions as these:
 Is the present accepted scheme of trade distribution through private dealers in the towns uneconomical? Will it in time be supplanted by CO., operative business? Will the farmers cooperative movement eventually eliminate the local dealers?
 Why do farmers purchase through mail order catalogues instead of through their local dealers?
 What responsibility does the retail mechant have as to carrying in stock and urging on the country people household conveniences and other things that might help to raise their standards of living? Should he take part in social welfare work whether it gives direct returns in dollars and cents not?
 Can the best adjustment of econom- ic relationship in the community be brought about by farmers and busi- ness men belonging to the same coun- try-wide Chamber of Commerce? What type of program should the Rotary, Kiwanis or similar clubs adopt concerning country problems Is it of greater advantage to the farmers to give first attention to the tourist roads get first call? Do juvenile courts and other child welfare agencies handle country prob fems on par with town problems? Why are all the doctors located in the towns? Reports show that there will not be enough doctors ten years from now.
 Can the town Y. NJ. c. A or Y w. c. A. serve the country boys and girls too?
 Should the farm women join the federated women's club or have their own clubs?
 Is there any practicable scheme whereby whole communities may be incorporated into the village or town under one charter in order to create a unit for legislative and administrative purposes?
 These and other questions will come up for discussion at the New Orleans conference, where farm men and women, town men and women, nnin- : isters, college professors, social work

 PROGRAMS FOR
 ARMISTICE DAY

Chicago. Oct. 24.-In Keeping with the nationwide observance of Armis- tice Day, November Il, when the na- ton will pay tribute to the dead he roes, the National Fraterna1 Congress of America has sent out instructions to all it's member associations to pre- pare special programs in connection with the event.

WINTER HOLDS
 DRAB PROMISE
 FOR PETROGRAD

Petrograd, Oct. 24.-There is an other Petrograd not suggested by talks with the Soviet leaders at Smolnt or meals in the restaurants and cafes aristocratiC ladies now turned prof. teers-the Petrograd of the common people-and I was at pains to discov- CT it.
 The plight of the average citizen both as regards fuel and food is a very terrible one, and as the winter ap- breaches is likely to become almost unbearable. The fuel shortage is more acute than during the past three winters for the very reason that the expediencies then adopted were such as cannot often be repeated.
 Hardly a ton of coal can be bought in Petrograd, and the price of wood has risen to level which places 1t out of the reach of everyone except the very rich.
 Necessity the Mother"
 Public and private ingenuity to pro- vide fuel for the winter months has not yet happily been exhausted. The director of the Classical theatres, for instance, has used the knowledge ac- Quired when he was a practicing arch itect to strip the roof of all unneces- sary wood, which he proposes to use for heating the theatres during re- hearsals and public performances. Wooden houses, pianos, superhuous doors. tables chairs and other pieces
 
 be used later as fuel. The canal barges are also being sent to Petrograd, not carrying wood, unfortunately, but to be broken up themselves for house hold heating and cooking purposes. One barge is allotted to each block of flats for fuel, provided the residents of the favored block-naturally there are not enough barges to supply the needs of the entire population-will break it up and carry the wood from the canal to their homes. Food Shortage Acute The food shortage is very acute. al- though large classes of official work erS-government clerks, dockers school teachers. soldiers and secret police-get fairly substantial rations The recently opened shops gave a few peoPle. moreover, the opportunity to supplement official rations, but that the prices charged for them are toe high for the purses of the overwhelm- ing majority is shown by the follow ! ing list:

foodstuffs in terms of English money are very expensive, cocoa, thus costing five shiIlings a pound, butter and sug- ar four shillings, and condensed milk two shillings a tin.
 UL-NOuriShed Children
 Doctors here estimate that 80 per cent. of the population is under nouriShed.
 The plight of the 150 British resi- dents in Petrograd-to mention an- other item in the general misery-is particularly pathetic, as their nation a1ity excludes them from a share in government rations.
 British governesses, clerks and one time prosperous business men whom I have met expressed surprise that neither the government nor any pri- vate relief organization had so far come to their help.

Western Canadian
 Farmers Grow Much Rye

Calgary, Alta, Oct. 24.-The rise of rye into unprecedented popularity is the greatest surprise of the year in Western Canadian agriculture. Last year the surprise was the sudden fashion of raising sunf1owers.
 The Noble farms north of Calgary, largest farms in Canada, were the pioneer growers of rye The variety is Rosen, imported from Michigan The large crop harvested on the Noble farms this year was sold in advance for seed to farmers throughout the three prairie provinces.
 On the Noble farms 5000 acres were seeded to Rosen rye this fall, and most of the farmers in Southern Alberta. it is said, figure on planting a large acreage. -
