ARESTRIPPING
ANCIENT TOMBS
Russian Bolsheviki Are
Violating Graves Of
Former Rulers
IN THEIR EFFORTS
TO GET TREASURE
Coffin Of Catherine The
Great Among Those
Looted

Paris, June s. (By the Associated
Press The Russian bolsheviki leaving
no stone unteurned in their work Of
searching out church treasures for
Econfiscation have violated the tombs
of the czars and czarinas in st. Peter
and Paul's Cathedral, Petrograd, says
LIE journal, quoting private advices.
The tomb of the Czarina Anna
Ivanovna, which is made Of silver was
removed bodily and the coffin Of
Catherine the Great was broken open
and a neck lace and rings Of great
value were taken. The bolsheviki are
said to have pried the lid from Peter
the Greats coffin, but finding the body
maryelously preserved, we're abashed
and dared not strip il of its jewels.
The despatch adds that news Of the
saeking Of the tombs spread rapidly
among the Russian people, who are
extremely indignant.

he had done with the dollars he had

replied that he had given them to Dora,

that il was perhaps pleasant. but also
very foolish. to give to all who asked,
he cordially agreed at the same time
adding: But you see, Tuan, ] am just

refuse anyone who wants me to help.
Equally quick at an answer was a
policeman, Mat Salleh, found sleeping
while on sentry duty at my house and
called to account. When ] told him to
note how one Of the Sikh police would
keep watch he replied eagerly. 70. a

Long Live the sardine.

In Potrugalette, seaport Of the
Basque provinces Of Spain, the people
still talk of certain amusing incident
that took place at one time when a
large crowd was watching the arrival
of the popular king and queen. Sud-
denly someone shouted, "Viva Ell Rcy.'
Viva, Viya.r echoed the crowd in
mighty voice.
Then the same fellow shouted, Viva
Ia Renal
''Vivai Vival" came the answering
yolley from thousand throats.
Viva, Espanal" cried the fellow.
@Niva vNal1 was the prompt reply.
At that moment a woman who was
selling sardines turned the corner.
"Sardinas. vivas sardinas," She
shouted. And before the excited throng
could restrain itself it had roared forth
approvingly, "yival Nival"-Youth's
Companion.

Very few college graduates commit

| last night, in the course of an address
on "The Advancement Of Learning
Recent analysis Of the prison popula-
| tion of selected group Of middle
western states, President. Brubacher

few college men in prison the great
| majority had committed crimes Of
craft"
these men are made comparative
lly gentle bv their education, DIR.
Brubacher said. VERY few commit
crimes Of violence Not large per-
ccntage commit crimes against sex. An
overwhelming percentage were con
victed of crimes of craft. Learning

Here is disturbing feature Of
modern education. College men choose

emphasized at the expense OF real
character.

that MIR. So-and so had come back from
England with very cheap wife. Ask.
