trod in "No-man's land" in 1917
and their voices raised in cries of
battle and the tunes of the trenches,
more than $4,000 world war vet

brilliant than fields of Flanders
poppies.
Heralded as The greatest parade
Of it's kind ever attempted in the
West, all advance notices were fol-
lowed, as perhaps more persons
stepped along to the flare of bands
and drum corps than ever in the
history of any Western city.
The mighty fighting equipment
on land, sea and air contributed
to bring home to the host Of spec
tators, the story of the military.
Varied Units in Line.
Every State in the Union, every

Commander Alvin Owsley and other
distinguished visitors. raised their
hands in salute.
AS the pageant progressed, va

JEWELS WORTH
100000 ON
VIEW
Charles Schwartz e Son Stage
Largest Exhibit OF Gems
Known Here.

Lovers of diamonds, and that en-
braces practically every woman in
the city, as well as a majority of
the men, have been given a rare
treat by Charles Schwartz & Son,
7O8 Seventh street northwest, who
through an effort extending over
several months have succeeded in
gathering together one of the
largest diamond exhibits ever shown
in America, and now on view at
their store. The diamonds in the
collection comprise some OF the
rarest gems in the world, the col
lection representing more than
81 10000 in value
A feature of the exhibit is the
method employed by the firm in dis
playing the gems. To make this
more effective than 1t could possibly
be made by tray displays, four Of
Wasnlngton's recognized beauties
have been engaged to wear the dia-
mondS in the window display. 1t is
safe to say that rarely has any
woman in the history of the world
been seen so laden with precious
gems as are the young women ap-
pearing in the window.
Some Of the Pieces.
Among the pieces is perhaps the
finest pair of matched stones in
the world. They are pear-shaped
diamonds, steel blue white in color,
weighing approximately thirty
carats each. They are valued at
$4,000. A sapphire diamond weigh
ing th1rty-seven and one-half carats
is in the collection. It is valued
at $1O5,O0O. Among all of the best
known gems Of the world 1t holds
an undisputed place.
One OF the interesting objects in
the collection is the only specimen
in America Of blue clay carrying on
uncut diamond. It comes from the
famous DeBeer mines of South
Africa. There is also a large canary
diamond, twenty-six carats in
weight, which is regarded as one Of
the finest Of its kind in the world
To add to the attraction of the
exhibition lis a display of reproduc-
tons of the worlds famous mounted
gems, besides large variety of per-
fectly matched stones.

BONDS IS On
DECLINE
Many Banks Forced to Dispose
of Liberties to Secure
Higher Returns.
By MUNROE ROBERTS.
Copyright. 1923, by Cosmopolitan

News Service.
NEW YORK. Oct. 16.-Prices Of
Liberty bonds have been out Of line
with other high-grade investments,
and unless there is decided
change in money market conditions,
the market for Government bonds
will witness further decline,
Thomas F. Conway, vice president
of C. F. Childs and Company, deal
ers exclusively in Government bonds,
said today.
Many of the larger investing in
situations are disposing of their
short-term Liberty bond issues and
purchasing long-term bonds and
mortgages, he stated.
Larger Returns Necessary.
1.-THE necessity of securing larger
returns on their. investments" said
Mr.. Conway, has compelled many
Of the savings banks to hquidate
their Liberty bonds; yielding about
4.35 per cent, and to purchase notes
and mortgages with an income re-
turn of from 51s to 6h per cent.
The investing public has not been
a factor in the Government bond
market for several months. 1t is
waiting and watching develop
ments."
Two special market factors, Mr..
Conway pointed out, will affect the
market course Of the Second and
Third Liberty bonds.
England Is Buying.
The Seconds, being the lowest in
price, will be purchased in quantity
by the British government against
the next installment of it's war debt
payment to the Treasury in De-
cember. The Third Liberty bonds
are being purchased by the Treas
ury sinking funds, since this is
the next big issue requiring refund
ing at maturity in 1928.
Both these purchasing funds, 4"
said Mr.. Conway, create a tremen-
dous market support for Liberty
issues, and have been sufficient to
offset the entire liquidation of Lib
erty bonds throughout the country.
The bonds thus purchased have been
withdrawn and will never again
come into the market.
Steadying Influences.
From June Is to December Is
next, Great Britain's acquisition will
undoubtedly total $92, 900, 900. being

ness day. During the same period
the Treasury sinking funds will take
up enough additional Liberty bonds
to .put the daily total at 81, 900, 600.
This constant, persistent purchasing
of Government bonds will act as a
powerful factor in moving prices to
a higher market level"
