EUROPE NO LONGER
REVELS IN JEWELS

Paris, July 17.-Europe's four
year Jewel jag" is about over, and
the Paris jewel trade foresees the
passing of the crisis in the trade
that resulted from the dumping of
about "a billion francs worth of
stolen, confscated and smuggled
Jewels on the Paris market. Leon
ard Rosenthal, the jewell expert
employed to value the Hapsburg
treasure, says the collapse in the
precious stone market was prevent
ed only by the wars creation Of
enough profteers to absorb the
over-supply.
The flood of jewels, Rosenthal
says, came in three waves. The first
was brought by fleeing Russian
aristocrats who struggled out fami-
" fortunes in their hair or sewn in
the Innings of their clothing. Some
times valuable stones were swallow
ed to be recovered by the use of
emetics, and were even embedded
in the flesh. One Russian prince
sold for 3s500,0 900 francs a group
of emeralds his ancestors bought
two centuries ago for 100000. One
of the Cars emeralds was sold in
Paris for SO times its cost. A Rus
sian duke congratulated upoa sell
ing his jewels for 100000 re-
piled, "How can ! live on 100000
francs a year," His pre-war expen-
ditures in Petrograd varied be-
tween 12,dOo,o0O and 5000.
900 francs yearly.
The second wave consisted If
Jewels valued at 800, 600 to
400, 100000 %confiscated by the
Soviets. The third wave was the
dispersion of the collections of
king and kinglets, princes and
dukes of Germany and Austria
Hungary. The Hapsburg court fur.
nished the treasure of 10 CEN
turtles and for this Emperor
Charles agents asked 100000
francs but took between 25,000,-
900 and 3O,0OO,000.

Well Known Educators Condition
Is Very Serious

Greenville, Aug. 29.-Prof. Lueco
Gunter, for the past two years head
of the department of education at
Furman university and we'll known
throughout South Carolina, is in a
critical condition tonight and physi-
clans have virtually given up hope
for his recovery. Professor Gunter
has been i'll for about a year from
a tumor of the spine, which has
paralyzed his lower limbs. Some
months ago he was taken to New
York, where he seemed to improve
under the special treatment admins
tered, and returned home. During
the past few weeks, however, his
condition has steadily become worse.
