Moving Sidewalks For Paris
By Associated Press)

Paris, April 16-A moving
sidewalk to relieve congestion, is
being considered by the city of
Paris. The changes for adoption
may not be great but the idea is
being serious discussed for Par
isians have pleasant memories of
the aerial sidewalk that was a
feature of the 1900 Worlds Ex-
position here. The proposal is
to build such a rolling sidewalk
under the principal boulevards,
from the Madeleine to the Place
de la Republique. A pedestrian
not only would avoid dangerous,
delaying crossings and not be
impeded by cross and counter
currents of traffic.

Not Seen Last Race Ira Vail
Will Be on Deck This Year

has been a stanch follower of the rae
ing game for years, and says, It's
like the smell OF sawdust to a circus
performer when any driver gets a
Whit of the burning castor oil, he just
has to climb into a race car and get
fed up on thrills
Ira hasn't named his car yet-he
says he will have to wait and think
up a good one for his machine this
year. The chassis is being construct
ed by Harry Miller of Los Angeles,
famous as a builder of racing carbu-
retors, while a Duesenberg eight-in-
line motor will undoubtedly power

He was entered in the event last
May, but his car could not be COM
pleted in time to enter competition.
He plans to be che of the first to
reach the Indianapolis track this
spring to prepare for the 5OO-mile
dash.
Vail was but youth when he
stamped himself as a star driver il
the MetropGlit&x cup race at Sleeps
head Bay in 1916. His first trip te
the Indianapolis track was in 1918,
and he placed fourth at the wheel OF
a Hudson.
He won his spurs in the racing
game in the closing weeks of the 1915
season, but established a whirlwind
clip the following year.
Vail is a heady, unassuming driver
and you would hardly know he was
about the race course if you waited
fGr him to speak. But he Usually
makes his presencs known by heaGy,
consistent driving.

STILL HUNTING FOR
TREASURE ISLAND
Here's a Story From the South
Seas of Buried Gold and
Other Rich Loot
,(By Associated Press)

Papeete, Tahiti Society Is.
lands) April l2.-Interest has
been aroused in the treasure re-
puted to be buried in the island
of Pinaki, one of the coral islands
to the eastward of Tahiti, and d
new association has been formed
i'll Tahiti to seek for the treasure
The story is that during the con-
fusion of a revolution in Peru &C
years or more ago a church was
looted of a rich treasure of gold
land precious stones by four men
who succeeded in getting it to the
coast where they buried it in a
safe place; afterwards making
their way to Panama.
Having secured schooner there
they returned to Peru, recovered
the treasure and sailed to the
westward intending to make Aus
Itralla their destination. The fact
that they possessed no papers
presented an insurmountable OBJ
Istacle to their gaining entrance
to any port without rigid inves-
ItigatiOn. SO they determined to
bury the treasure on an uninhab-
Iited island in the Paumotus until
such time as they could charter in
Sidney schooner for some al
legged trading enterprise and, sail
ing with proper papers, return to
the island.
When afterwards in pursuance
of this plan, they reached the
coast Of Australia they sought an
unfrequented part of the coast,
scuttled their schooner and COM
ing ashore i'll the guisc of ship
wrecked sailors, endeavOred to
make their way to Sidney over
land. Two only by name, Killrain
and Brown, arrived in Sidney the
other two had been killed in a
fight with bush natives. Such is
the story OF the burial of the
treasure.
The tale of the attempts for its
recovery begins in 1912 or 1913.
when one day on the streets OF
Sidney a man by the name OF
Thompson was accosted by an
elderly beggar seeking aims. On
giving the man a small sum, Mr..
Thompson was surprised by the
request for his name and address,
which he carelessly gave and
thought no more about it.
Some time later he was SUM-
moned to one Of the hospitals in
the city. There he discovered
the the one who had asked for
him was the beggar whom he had
befriended some time before. The
old man told him that he had sent
for him to disclose to him the
resting place of great treasure
which he and three others had
buried on a lonely island many
years before; that they had fallen
on evil days and were never able
to return to the island and that
he, Killrain, being the only survi-
vor of the company and about to
die, did not wish the secret to
perish with him.
Thus it was that Thompson
came into the knowledge of the
story and of sailing directions to
locate the island. Being convinc-
ed that the story was founded OH
truth. he came to Tahiti and hav-
ing satisfied himself that the is
land of Pulaski is hiding place
of the hidden treasure, has spent
eight years in search of it-so far
without success. Lately, some
people in Tahiti have discovered
what they believe to be a new
clue and are preparing to ut out
an expedition to go to the island.

PREDICTS RISE IN
PRICE OF LUMBER
Trade Editor Says When Buy,
ing Becomes More General
Market Will Stabilize.

The fact that the public is being told
Der prices are down 10 rock bottom has
had the effect of stimulating building
construction all over the country. and
particularly in the East and Middle
West. according TO A. Il. kriechbaum
Eastern editor Of Lumber. the national
lumber trade journal On a number OF
items of construction wood such as flat
grain yellow pine flooring and yellow
pine roofers. he pointed out, the market
is undoubtedly stiffening. and. while
there have been no marked advances in
prices the producers are holding firm
now for list prices and are refusing TO
make concessions in order to get busi-
ness.
Reports received by Lttntber's New
York office. Mr.. Kriechbaum said, show
that the Southern mills are beginning
to resume operation and the demand
for lumber is surely but slowly increas-
ing. although the volume OF orders, as
a whole is still small for this period OF
the year. As soon as buying becomes
more general prices will start on an up
ward trend, continuing to advance until
they reach a level in keeping with pro-
duction costs. and when they have
reached that level the market will stabi-
lize. There is little likelihood that
prices will be as low as they are to-day
few weeks hence, neither is there any
indica ton that prices will rise to any
where near the peak OF last year,
4 Although the price of lumber has only
g small bearing on the ultimate cost OF
a building. Mr.. Kriechbaum points out
that the drop in lumber prices has had
the effect Of changing public sentiment
to some degree and for this reason the
spring building programme has started.
Producers of lumber are still selling
their product below cost OF production.
and the average selling price at the mills
to-day is considerably below the maxi
mum fixed by the Government during
the war.
The retail dealers, as a general rule,
have cut their prices to the core, many
of them sacrificing high priced stocks in
an effort to revive building activity In
their respective localities. The retailers
to-day are selling lumber to the consum-
ers on the basis of replacement value.
AS the wholesale prices advance from
now on, just that much more will the
prospective builder have to pay The
longer he waits to purchase his lumber
requirements, the more his building will
cost him.
Looking back to the period of peak
prices last spring. it is interesting to
note how ylucn cheaper construction
woods are selling to-day. For instance.
yellow pine flat grain flooring has
dropped more than 100 per cent since
last March; yellow pine dimension has
declined 40 per cent. yellow pine tim
bers. Is; North Carolina pine roofers.
