23.year-old Alaska girl. 1t was quite

Miss Sarvela was born In Sitka.

had ever been outside" in all her
life. She is on her way to Cali.

all the way from Alaska TO see 1t!
We have only trucks and autos In

Her first 'thrilI'' came when she
stepped from the steamer here and
discovered that Seattle people took
just like Alaskans do.
Somehow I thought they would
be different, she said. But the
only difference / could see is that
the girls here use q little more paint

rose diamond, the Grand Conde, IN
the hands of clever thieves, steps
TO increase the safeguarding or other
valuable state jewels are now being
taken in Paris.
The principal one Of these Is the
Regent" diamond. now in he
Louvre and worth considerably mere
than the one stolen from the Chan
tilly Museum.
It has been stolen once and car.
ried away twice by fugitive rulers,
pawned twice to get supplies for the
armies of Napoleon. who redeemed
II in 1902 and wore 1t in the pommel
of his sword when he was crowned
Emperor.
1t would probably be very dit-
ficult task to make away with it
now that it is so safely guarded in
the Galerie d'Apollon. It is sur.
rounded by an iron balustrade. and
the glass protecting it is so thick
that a shot from gun could not
even break it.
Aside from the special guardians
who watch over 1t, hourly rounds
are made by others, and at night the
table on which the precious gem re.
poses is lowered into the floor and
disappears as IL by magic to spot
where few thieves could find it.
