Osaka Most Expensive City

Osaka, Japan, Aug. H.-Osaka, the
Industrial capital Of Japan has the
reputation Of being the most expen-
sive city of tRs empire In which to
live. The prices Of commodities in
Osaka in June averaged 81 percent
over the same month Hast year. To-

Queen Marie Hopes Soviet
Will Pay for Lost Jewels

Bucharest, Sept. 11.-Queen Marie
has been greatly distressed by news
from Moscow that her magnificent
crown jewels, which were taken Sec
reilly to Moscow for safekeeping
when the Germans invaded Bu-
charest in 1915, have been confscat-
ed by the Bolsheviki and subsequent
ly,. peddled around Europe. The Boil
sheviki are said first to have removed
all the precious stones from the
jewels, retaining the platinum and
gold settings.
Some of the Queens gems, togeth-
er with those of the late Cars
crown, are reported to have been
taken to London and disposed of by
Kameneff in 1920. The Queen has
despaired of ever recovering these
treasures, which were among the
most numerous and sumptuous in Eu-
rope, but she is hopeful the Soviet
government may see fit to compen-
safe her for the loss in cash.
Conflicting versions are in circula-
tion as to the fate of the Rumanian
state funds which were also taken
to Moscow during the war. Some
consider them non-existent; others
say the treasure is intact in the
vaults of the Kremlin, where it was
deposited by the Czarist administra-
tion. A report says that there is
now in Moscow deposit of 1O,O7O,-
600 gold rubles belonging to the Ru-
manian treasury, but this is only IA
small fraction of the original amount
When the armistice freed Rumania
from it's isolation, the Queen entrust-
ed the task of recovering the govern
ment funds and her crown jewels to
AN American gold dredger and SOL
dier from Nome, Alaska. This man
was said to exercise great influence
with the Soviets, but after many ov-
ertures and much negotiation with
Moscow he gave up the task of recov-
ering the treasure as futile.

Raiding in the Mahsud
Country an Active Vocation

Peshawar, India, Sept. 1.-THE
efforts of police and military forces
have not yet effected and perceptible
decrease in the number of armed
raids in the northwestern frontier
districts, which occurred with m-
usual frequency during the past few
months,
A late report tells Of bullet bat
tie between a party Of police and a
raiding gang in the Bannu district.
The police, only eight in number,
formed detachment Of larger
party which was searching in the
Maidangi range of hills for outlaws
known to be hiding there. This de-
tached party was ambushed in de-
file by the raiding gan and had two
of it's number killed and it's leader
severely wounded almost at the first
volley.
The remaining constables opened
fire on their attackers at once, al
though without cover Of any sort
Later they withdrew, one by one to
some water holes about 100 yards
away which afforded partial cover.
From this position they kept their
opponents at bay for three hours.
Finally, when ammunition was nearly
exhausted, the raiders, fearing the
arrival of other parties Of police and
villagers, drew of. This enabled the
police to recover the bodies, arms
Eand equipment Of their dead COM
.ades, and TO carry their wounded

bushes and attacks on conveys, which

American Chemical

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 6.-Sea-weed

played on cylinders was to prove his
contention.

Sonia of the "Village"
Wins Fight for Life

new 1Orky Sept. lZ.-IreenWlch
Village, that Bohemian center re-
garded as perpetual fountain of
mirth, for time was threatened with
it's little tragedy, but now the tale
has taken new turn and the happy
ending is in sight. M
A few weeks ago Sonia the Gig
afstte Girl was stricken desperately
i'll. Heart disease, StfAnoe form,
the doctors said.
For weeks she lay In a hospisal
ward, pale and wan. And very lone
ly was Sonia, for she found thSt her
village friends, the poets and paint
ers who laughed with her and blew
smoke rings with her in cellar and
garret. had deserted her.
On the walls were none of the ga !
tapestries, the paintings and the
sketches in which she delighted The
sounds which came Ito her were
omnious sounds, lacking the music
and laughter which to her had consti-
tuted life.
Sonia is only in her twenties.
Youth rebels at grim hospital walls
and white-clad doctors and nurses,
with their stethescopes and mysteri-
GUS charts.
But now doctors say that Sonia
has won her fght-that soon she will
be discharged.
Everyone knows Sonia in the Vii
lage. In her smock and sandals, she
could be seen any day walking bare
headed through the alleys Of the
Latin Quarter, shaking her bobbed
head violently when engaged in ar.
guments over Bellies Lettres or the
theories of Freud.
Sonia--she has last name but In
the Village she is known only 'as
Sonia-is Bohemian. Thousands OF
out-of-towners who have visited the
Village have seen her slipping from
table to table in the fantastic tea.
rooms which the Village boasts, ca.
1olling the merrymakers into buying
a package Of her cigarettes.
Sonia is versatile. Now she would
make little money at one thing, al
other times at another. Sometimes
she would make nothing at all.
Once she went to Boston and there

attention TURNS TO
THE Commission
Public Looks To Memorial
Commission To Begin To !
Function

Announcement made by The Ban.
ner on Thursday that $25O,OOO has
been paid to the Knox County Mem.
orial Building Commission, tho pro-
ceeds of the sale of bonds voted for
that purpose, has served to direct at
tention to the building commission
which for many months has been un-
able to function because of a lack of
funds
1t is probable that meeting of the
commission will be called in the near
future. Because of having no funds
the commission until recently has
been in position where it was able
neither to secure an option upon a
site for the building nor to employ an
architect to draft plans. This situa-
tion having been relieved by the re-
ceipt of the money which is on de-
post at the New Knox National bank
1t is obvious that the commission may
begin to function as intended when
the people of Knox county voted to is.

memorial to her soldiers of whom she
is Justly proud. .
1t was impossible to learn Friday
when meeting of the commission
may be anticipated. Mr.. H. G. Devin,
president of the commission, is con.
fined to- his home by illness. It has
been the custom of the commission to
have the president of the board call
the meetings. The members Of the
commission understand and appreci-
ate the sentiment that impelled the
creation of the fund given to their
charge and it is but reasonable to as
sumo they soon will proceed with care
and circumspection to secure a site
and to have plans for building pre-
pared.
