RUSSIANS SELL
OLD ART TREASURES
Shop Windows Reveal Much Home
Wreclting-LOOt from Old
Wars Being S0ld

ODESSA, April S-NIore of old Rus
STA ; apparently ineXhaustible supply
OF art treasures are being thrown upon
the market under the new free trade
policy combined with the increasing need
of money to buy food Here, as in Mos
cow and Petrograd. the shops sell for
the most part second hand jewelry, of
gol1 and silver.
The bitter story of the home-wreck
ing revolution is told in any shop win
dow. The majority of these things are
going abroad. Among them are collec-
tions of plate, paintings, Swiss watches
and Sevres vases which were imported
from the western countries in the last
200 hundred or 300 years or taken as loot
in old wars, especially wars to the south
and to the east.
Hundreds of articles bought in France
during its great revolution and brought
to Russia are now finding their way
home again, bought up at low prices by
foreigners.
Loot from Poland has gone back.
Part of Soviet. Russia : war indemnity
to Poland included diamonds Tequisi-
toned from the old Russian rich who
in their turn may have obtained them
from Poland long ago. Second hand
wedding rings are plentiful in the shops
for women are parting with this last tie
that binds them to their loved ones.

automatic conyeyors and other time and
labor saving devices.
Provision has been made for the fu-
ture growth OF the airplane mail service
by providing clear ROOF space more
than 600 feet long where small planes
can land with mail transferred from the
larger trans-continental flyers at Check
erboard Field, haywood.
Right i'm Railroad Yards.
The station is located in the yards of
the Union station and a short distance
from Chicago and Northwestern station.
Mail in carload lots will be handled di-
rect to the lines entering these two sta
tions, and can be switched to other sta
tions.
The basement level is on the grade
as the Union station tracks, and is
equipped with spurs for handling the
mail cars. On the other side of the
building, at the ground level, motor
trucks with parcel post and other mail
from the city viii enter the building on
40 foot driveway and discharge their
contents direct into automatic convey
ors, which will lift the mail to the top
floor and start it over a downward path
of ConvcyOTs chuteS and sorting belts,
until it energies sorted, sacked and la
beled, at the mail car level.
Sorting Parcels Post.
On the main sorting floor for parcels
post clerks working on either side of the
main conveyers will divide the packages
among other conveyors, which in turn
viii carry them to the sections set aside
for the mail to each part of the country.
At the last stage the sacks and pouches
will slide down spiral chutes to circular
platforms on the train level in the base
ment Backed up around each circular
platform, the waiting hand trucks will
take the load to the mail cars.
Completion of the. new station will
remove the handling of all mail from
pass through the congested districts.
The terminal is being erected by the
Union station interests and will be
leased to the government. Besides the
1 advantage of direct access to the rail
! road tracks, the government will obtain
much lower rental rate than it pays
/ for loop property.

WEST WARDSBORO

For those who are fortunate enough to
own sugar orchards, sugaring is the
principal industry in this part of Ner-
mont at the present time. The good
running days have been in the minority,
but on such days a good supply of SUI
gar and syrup, which thus far has been
of good color and flavor. has been made.
A flock of black minorcas, owned by
Mrs. Frank Lackey, which have distin-
guished themselves by laying sizeable
eggs during the winter, broke their own
record Monday when an egg was laid
measuring eight and one-half inches in
length, seven inches in diameter, and
weighing four ounces.
Mrs George Shampine, who was a
resident of this place before moving to
Williamsville last year, is seriously i'll.
Center and son, John Shampine of
South Wardsboro, We're called there
Sunday night. Last reports state that
she had two sinking spells Monday
night.
Just as those who were longing for a
sight of good old mother earth, without
her snowy mantle, were beginning to
feast their eyes on the same, another
fall of snow 10 inches in depth came,
which called for a fresh draft of pa
thence. There is no doubt that many
of the birds which had arrived in large
numbers, persisted from cold and hunger
Those who were thoughtful enough to
feed them were rewarded by fccks of
song and tree sparrows, juncos. blue
birds, chiekadees and nuthatches coming
to their door with fearless confidence
for the chaff, crumbs and suet thrown
out to them. CHEEKY songs. especially
from the bluebirds, song sparrows and
chickadees, was their nice way of say
ing thank YOU

RADIUM MINERALS.
Ores Containing 1t Are Found on Coast
of British Columbia.

After nine years of persistent search
ing in a great many parts of the world
from South Africa to Alaska. II. +.
Ncave, mining engineer and proSpec-
tor, recently discovered two radium-
bearing ore deposits on the islands of
Valdez and Vancouver, off the coast of
British Columbia.
With the need of more of the precious
metal foremost in his mind, Mr.. Neavc,
niue years ago, decided to devote his
time to field work in search of radio-ac-
tive areas for while there were plenty
of men experimenting with the medical
and scientific possibilities of radium,
there was no one, as far as he could
learn, making Il systematic search for
the areas which undoubtedly must exist
on the earth's surface where this pre-
ciouS substance was hidden.
Moving down the coast he discovered
in the fall of 1920. after nearly nine
years of searching. a stretch of radio
active rocks on Tahsish Inlet, Nancou-
yer Island These he tested in two
ways. by using an electroscope. and also
bv taking photos, or photographs, two
of the principal tests for notwithstanding
strata photographs are taken by utillz-
ing the rays given off by the rocks TO OBJ
tain photographs of coin, keys, etc.
through such opaque substances as
lightproef paper on 4 sensitized photo
graphic plate.
Though the discoverer found radio
active rocks covering considerable
area, he was still anxious to locate an
other area, and guided by his knowledge
of geology at once began exploring near
by islands, with the result that in Au-
gust. 1921. he made another find on
Valdez island at place called Open
Bay. an uninhabited stretch of logged
off land, where copper mining had for
merly been carried on.
| Satisfied with the area of these two
| fields. NeaVe forwarded samples of the
/ rock to Sir Ernest Rutherford, the fam
Gus British radium expert. The mere
analysis for simple rocks costs $3.50
and for complex ones much more. Sin
| Ernest's reply, fully confirmed his own
/ experiments as to the highly radioactive
nature of the minerals found At this
writing, of course. no estimate as to
/ the new fields productive possibilities
/ can be ventured Development worh
alone will reveal the amount of radiuu
/ which may be anticipated. But with thu
4 very few fields as yet in existence in thu
entire world, and the pitiful smallnes'
of their output, the finding of any IA
dunn bearing region is Of great impor
