Not many years ago the black
pearl was not valued very highly,
but it is now valued highly because
Of it's rarity.
Nearly all Panama pearls have a
slight yellow tint, with a satin lus-
ire, while the full yellow pearl is
found along the shores of China.
SAXON SACK-A container, gen.
eral called the Saxon Sack, is now
in the Kunstgewerbe museum in
Germany. The origin of it is not
known, but the workmanship on the
network of pearls which covers it
is crude and many say that it was
made by the ancient Saxons and
handed down through some obscure
family before it came into the pos
session Of Charlemagne.

A cross bearing the inscription
and the arms of the primate, George
Szolepchenyi, and said to have been
made in 1867, is on display in a
German museum. 1t is studded with
thirteen very large pearls. This
cross has been used for many years
as the cross of peace, the 'instru-

SHOOTING is MYSTERY
Negro Has Bullet Wound in Breast
While Police Seek Assailant.

Mystery surrounded the shooting
of Moses Jones, Negro, So. of 40
Douglass St., janitor at the Shiel
Apartments, 900 N. Illinois St., Mon
day night. Sergt. Ralph Dean sent
him to the city hospital, where
doctors say a bullet wound in the
right breast will not prove fatal.
Jones said he and Rena Florence,
Of 40 Douglass ST., and William
Frazier, 1116 N. Delaware ST., both
Negroes, who were visiting him, were
all sitting in his rooms in the base
ment when the door opened. Think
ing it had blown open. Jones said he
started to close it, when two shots
rang out from the darkness outside.
None of the trio saw who fired.
Elkanah Thompson, Apartment
1913, told police of seeing q Negro
lettering in the hall, and of hearing
the shots five minutes later. Jones
said he probably was recently dis
charged employee, the only person
with whom he has had trouble.

ADVENTURES IN PEARLS

superstitious, but I wonder IL cir
cumstances alone was altogether re-
sponsible for little of the history
connected with the contents of this
box"
He pressed an unseen spring and
when the lid sprang open, there be-
fore my startled gaze rested q pearl
of untold beauty, worth, probably,
a fortune.
Breaking into my stumbling
thoughts were words which 1 failed
to grasp but when my mind began
to register them more clearly 1
knew he was telling me something
Of the pearls history.
"He was my fathers favorite, a
boy of high spirit and hard to lon
troll. Just a little hayward, might
say, but lovable with all his faults.
He became interested in fellow
whose influence was none too good
we could do nothing. A time came
when he grew restless, seemed
straining at an unseen leash. We
knew then that the time had come
when he would break the ties that
bound him to us and follow tempta-
ton.
Sometime ago T received by spe-
cial messenger a package and when
1 opened it I found-this. Despair
ing after months of searching
finally found him. My friend, ii
is hard to tell you how deeply I
was grieved when I saw him. He
had paid the penalty for his folly.
Poor lad, his body had become
nothing more than q wasted shell
for a soul tired, so tired of fighting.
Had the curse upon this beautiful
thing guided the faltering steps to
destruction?
"You know, I am student of
theology and a number of my earlier
years were spent in the mission
fields. This may explain to you the
reason why L was the receiver of
this pearl. l have no fear of its
power over my life for as 1 have
said before, I am not superstitious,
but it makes a fellow wonder,
doesn't it?"

BRIDGE REPAIR
TO PARK BOARD
Council Refuses Money for
College Ave. Span.

Steps for the repair of College
Ave. bridge across Fall Creek will
be taken by the park board at a spe-
cia1 session Wednesday night, follow
! ing the failure of the city council
to appropriate repair money at its
meeting Monday night.
The council, after having been
told by the city attorney that it was
illegal to receive bids on any repair
or construction before the money for
such work had been appropriated,
) was firm in it's stand that bids be
received before the necessary appro-
priation be made.
a formal resolution introduced by
Q. Ray Albertson. set out this policy
of the majority faction. Edward b.
Raub was the only councilman who
took exception to the resolution, de-
claring it illegal. Members of the
special bridge committee, Boyton j..
Moore chairman, who have been de-
claring for some time that all speed
possible was necessary for the repair
of the bridge, asked more time to
consider the project.

FAULTY SPEECH
BLOCKS SUCCESS

If there is one outstanding con.
clusion to be drawn from the ex-
perience of the Bogue Institute for
Stammerers during its twenty-five
years, it is that everybody who
stammers or shutters wants to be
cured of that speech handicap, nc
cording to Benjamin Bogue, head OF
the institute.
I'm this country the system OF
feeling that vocal expression is a
human right, and that naturalness I'm
speech is one Of the objects OF ed
ucation," he said. statistics show
that few persons who stammer or
stutter meet with the same degree
of success in life as those compan-
ions who are, fortunately. not thus
troubled in speech.
1.-THE stammerer has always real
lied his limitations. Parents have
for some time appreciated the conf
dition even more thoroughly than
in the past, and. having the results
of stammering pointed out TO them
so often, educators everywhere are
urging stammerers TO secure free
dom from their speech affiictlon be-
fore proceeding with an education.
"As n result" continued Bogue.
mot only has the Bogue Institute
recently been filled to capacity. but
we have been obliged TO postpone
until a later date the enrolment OF
many applicants. This demand for
enrolment by such a great number
of stammerers is a new experiment.
unknown in earlier times and quite
inconsistent with the experience OF
other countries, for America is now
leading the world in adult as Wen
as primary education in all its
phases.
"It has been the policy Of tho

ment privilege TO persons troubled
with stammering and suffering. but
the Institute has found itself Obliged
to still further restrict the number
of entrants, for the course OF at

JEWS COURSE TRACED
Hebrew College Instructor Describes
Emancipation Of Race.

The transition of the Jew from
bondage until he was emancipated
in the western hemisphere by the
signing of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, was related by Prof. Jacob
r. Marcus at the Kirschbaum Com
munity Center Monday night. Pro-
lessor Marcus is an instructor at the
Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati.
He declared that when the Jew
achieved recognition, he endeavored
to adjust himself to the environment
and in many instances accepted
Christianity. Assimilation of the
Jew with other nations resulted in
the leaders starting a movement to
save the Jews individuality, he said.
The present day movement to es-
tablish a modern Zion in Palestine
for Jews was described by Professor
Marcus.

FIND ANCIENT CHURCH
Roman Temple Believed Uncovered
in London.

BH UHtted Press
LONDON, Dec. 28-An ancient
church, believed to have been a Ro-
man Temple, has been discovered by
Lord Dynevor at his Carmarthen-
shire seat, Dynevor Park.
The removal of thick growth of
ivy from the south wall of the fam
lily church revealed a pointed arched
doorway. This led into an apart
ment built like a cell. The topmost
of a flight of five stone steps in the
apartment reaches the floor of the
present church.
1t is on record that in 1900, when
the churchyard was being levelled,
the walls of Roman building were
found.
