Ancient Pearls.

pEARLS are believed to have been
l. among the earliest gems known to
man, because the ancient dwellers by
the sea probably fed upon the she'll
fish that produced them. A Chinese
book of great antiquity, the Shu King,
states that in the twenty-third century
BIC. the Emperor Yu, last of three
ancient Kings Of great virtue" re-
ceived as tribute certain pearls from
the River Hwai.
The Egyptians used mother-of-pearl
as early as 5000 BIC. Apparently they
did not come to regard the pearl as
being particularly valuable until much
later in history.
The famous pearl fisheries of Ceylon,
India and the Persian Gulf date far
back into history. but nothing is known
of their origins. 1t is probable that the
fishing was carried on 1000 years ago
In sll three localities in much the same
primitive way as today.

Chariot Racing Revived.

AS a successor to dog racing, chariot
racing Is being introduced in Glasgow
Scotland. The opening events were held
at a greyhound racing track, which had
been converted into Roman amphithe-
alter. There were six events, in two of
which the race was between two char
lots drawn by four horses each, while
the remaining races were Of four char
lots drawn by two horses each. There
were many thrills and the crowds were
enthusiastic over the events. There
was betting as at ordinary race meet
ings. and the horses names appeared
in the programs.

~ MUST have good detective
- Stories" said Secretary Kellogg,
as he boarded the Leviathan,
homeward bound from his peace
triumphs in Paris. What would
have happened if there had been no
good detective stories on board the ship,
one trembles to think.
It is a national tradition that every
man of affairs-political affairs, at least
-relaxes his mind by devouring the
latest mystery thrillers. Presidents,
diplomats and even members of the
State Legislature seek relief from the
cares of office by puzzling over the dis
appearance of Mrs. de Peyster's dia-
mond necklace. AS soon as the days
work is over they demand the sleuth,
the old sieuth, ana nothing but the
sleuth. Some of them may not enjoy
reading these expanded movie
scenarios, but they feel obliged to live
up to the tradition.
In most cases the fondnesS of peace
full. law-ablding citizens for tales of
CRIME and violence is genuine. A mere
psychologist could explain it. II
dates back to the days of the woodshed
when the honespun breeches of future
statesmen were warmed by irate parents
who disapproved of Beadle & Adams
l0-cent classics.
Fifty years ago dime novels had q
glamour like that of Gordon gin today

the evening they enabled each girl 20
acquire pretty pair as favor.
At party of this sort one should, of
course, have balloons and swapping
crackers. Jumping ropes add to the
general nerriment, and of course there
must be lollypops.

L Mitchsll's Ruling TO on Board
on Plans Of American Pc.
troleum institute

washington, April 3.-(Pl-Secre-
tary wilbur today informed repre-
sentatives Of the American Petroleum
institute that Attorney General
Mitchell had ruled that the federal
oil conservation board had no power
to grant approval Of the institutes
proposed production curtailment.
Mr.. Mitchell's letter declared that
1T is clear that congress has not CIV
en- the board any power to grant to
any persons immunity from the oper-
atoms OF the acts Of congress prohi-
biting agreements In restraint OF In
terstate commerce ana that the board
has no authority to approve any &C.
ton which is contrary to an act o.
congress or to the ANTITRUST acts Of
any state: and that no action taken
by the board would have the effect
Of relieving such parties to such ar
agreement from the operations Of the
antitrust laws"
The attorney general In referring
to the actual legality Of the proposed
curtailment OF production said thai
las the powers Of the board are limit
ed in this way the question whethel
the proposed agreement would vioiat'
the antitrust laws Of the Unitet
States is apparently not a question
arising in one of the executive de
partments on which the attorne,
general Is authorized by law to Civ
an opinion. Furthermore, It Is no
the practice of attorneys-general 7
give opinions as to whether proposes
action by private persons would vio
late the laws of the United States"
Mr.. Mitchell said that the proceed
ings OF the petroleum institute max
it clear that its members alread
realize that under existing laws sue
an agreement could not safely b
made without the sanction of som
official OF the United States auth
orized to give and 'as I have pointe
out no such authority exists"
