Solid Gold Armlet

Near Chichester, England. recently
the ancient law Of treasure trove was
called in a legal case. A governess,
walking along SeIsey Beach, had found
an armlet half buried IN the sand

of no interest or value. But investiga-
ton by her employer revealed that the
arrnlet was of pure gold, and subse-
quent examination by scientists proved
that 1t was British in workmanship
and probably 1000 years old-a rare
relic Of the pre-Roman period in the
British Isles.
No one knew what legal disposition
Of the armlet was to be made, until
attorneys for the British Museum
proved that under the old treasure
trove law 1t must be turned over to

Soviet Marriage Law
Makes Divorce Cheap

Abundant and cheap facilities for
marriage and divorce put the Union
OF Soviet Socialist Republics in the
front rank in the making and break
ing OF matrimonial alliances. Statistics
for Moscow III 1925 indicate 24,023
marriages and 10,G6o divorces IN a
population Of 1.S50.000 This gives
1928 marriages and 543 divorces for
each 100000 population and one di-
vorce for "a marriages. The CORE
spending figures for the United States
in 1922 were 1893 marriages and 136
divorces for each 100000 population
and one divorce to rs marriages. One
third Of the Russian marriages are
second marriages and 80 per cent Of
the divorced persons remarry. About
five-seyenths Of the divorces were OBJ
tanned in court and tho others by
merely recording the wish Of either
party at the civil registry Office. Ac-
cording to the figures. men are most
changeable when 20 years old and
women at 35.. The favorite wedding
months are February, May and Sep
TENDER. May and September also hold
the record for divorces.

Today progress comes from the
scientific study OF q subject, rather
than from haphazard inventions. But
this scientific study takes money. And
money Is something that a new art,
such as aviation, Is usually without.
During the war aviation had more
money at its disposal than It could
spend. but those days have gone:
Postwar depression and a lack of
understanding OF what was needed
for commercial use have combined to
practically starve the industry. Real
ling this, a far-sighted patriot, Daniel
Guggenhein, has stepped In and said:
u have decided to establish the Daniel
Guggenheim fund for the promotion
Of aeronautics and to place at it's dis
posal the sum Of 81, 100000. The time
Is ripe for action. There is urgent
need in our country for immediate
practical and substantial assistance to
aviation. No less urgent is the need
to awaken the American public"
This means that q great deal OF the
healthy organizations like the tele
phone company or the General Elec.
trio can afford to spend millions on
scientific development, but the strug'
Cling aviation companies cannot. TIC

work. this encouragement is like sun

Such requests for various purposes
have been made in the past and often
have provided soft" berths for many
parasites. This gift, thank heaven, Is
not in the same class by any means
Mr.. Guggenheim has not only chosen
the highest type Of men to admin
lister the fund, but has given them
some general instructions, which show
that he has given q great deal OF
thought to the subject and realized
some Of the pitfalls in the way Of Its
use He has given the directors only

Holy Land Crusade.

After 900 years England is to have
another crusade to the holy land.
With full pomp and ceremony 100
knights and ladies of the Order of ST.
John Of Jerusalem will start on a pill
grimage to some of the ancient strong
holds of the order famous in history
The Countess of Cromer. the Dow
ager Countess Of Airlie and Countess

grims, while among the men will be
Viscount Galway, Lord Harrington
and Maj. Gen. Sir Percival Wilkinson.
A special steamship chartered by the
order will carry the pilgrims through
the Mediterranean. They will embark
from Venice March 7. An admiralty
order Of 1900 directs all ships Of the
navy to salute the flag of ST. John,
and as this order has never been can
celed 1t is presumed that the salute
will be received during the cruise. The
Order of st. John Is the oldest and
only survivor Of the many orders
founded during the crusades.

''Pigs Is Taxes in China

Pigs Is pigs" but according to Chi
nese military officials they are more
than that-they are a good source Of
revenue. Hence when the new regime
took control Of Shanghai and looked
around for possible sources Of income
it decided to impose a tax on every
pig that enters Shanghai.
The city magistrate gave orders that
the headquarters and social club Of the
Shanghai pig dealers be closed and
sent a posse of Chinese police to see
that his orders were carried out until
the new tax was paid. The levy
proved unpopular from the start and
led to curtailed demand for this luxury
by Chinese buyers.

PattersOn-H Hunter Collision

Tank Hunter, former livery
stable proprietor in Chapel Hill,
now an automobile salesman in
Durham, was demonstrating a
Star car on the main street one
day this week. Rolling down
the slope east of the post
office, he stopped suddenly
without turning out of the line
of traffic. A. H. Patterson was
coming along behind in his Ford
coupe. He swerved quickly to
the left to avoid a collision, but
his right fender caught the left
end of the other cars bumper,
resulting in some damage to
both cars. The usual street
crowd gathered. Tank Hunter
claimed that he had signaled his
stop by throwing out his hand
in good time, but this did not
go uncontroverted.
