that Is about five and one-half miles
high or nearly FIVE times as b gh as

Mount Everest Is about one and three
fourths miles higher than the Hottest
pint on the North American con-

Legion, too, are the true stories Of
thefts Of jewels and bonds In amounts

any person could have stolen nearly
100000 worth Of gems from a safety
deposit box in the crowded lobby OF
the Hotel Biltmore, get away and keep
the theft hidden for monthsl Yet the
loss OF that sum OF gems was discov-
cred on June l3, 1919. by Mrs. Clar-
ence Mllhiser Of Richmond, Va. and
even at first the authenticity Of the
story was doubted by the police and
other men who have access TO reports
Of big robberies. Among the jewels
were thirty large pearls and a diB-
mond sale to be about 20 carats In
weight. All but about $4,000 worth
Of the jewels were recovered by the
