ART TREASURES OF RUSSIA ON MARKET
Several Million Dollars Worth
 to Go Under Hammer

Vienna, Aug. 23 P}-Severai mill lion dollars worth of rare Russian art treasures will be auctioned off here in September.
 The sale was arranged by the com- missariat of fine arts, which is send ing to the Austrian capital group of government official experts with the object of bringing before the eyes of European art lovers some of the finest collections of paintings and miniatures of Russia.
 Priceless Collection Offered
 Among the objects to come under the hammer are a priceless collec- ton of old ikons. Every visitor to Russia is made to feel that these paintings have a sa credness Tn the minds of their possessors altogether different from anything existing in western culture.
 Not only in every house, but in almost every room throughout the land there is an ikon of some sort. Once under the czardom, it was re- garded with horror to take the ikon from it's appointed place. The revo- lution has changed this so that hun dreds of thousands of sacred pie lures, once held in reverence iii every peasant home. are now of fered for sale in the public market for the equivalent of a few cents. Failure of the crops for three con- secutive years and threatened fam inc have caused the government to confiscate church treasures, consid- cred by Soviet leaders as a super fluity. These are now awaiting buy CTS in Vienna. The proceeds of the sale will go to swell the revenues of the Soviet government.
 250 Cases Await Buyers
 Two hunderd and fifty cases of paintings have been sent to Vienna in freight cars, the whole insured for more than s2,000,O00. Next ar rivals due here consist of golden church vessels, sumptuous damask church robes, worn by Russia's Episcopate during the coronation of the czars, bejewelled crosses, ikons dating from the Mongolian period. pictures of the Holy Virgin of Vladimir, Andrej Rublew's Resur- rection of Christ, The Apostle Paul and the Archangel Michael and Dyonisisios St. Cyril.

RIDE BIKES ON SIDEWALK

What might have been one of those endurance races. so popular nowadays with the younger set, was broken up last night by the police after the residents at 1897 Corbin avenue were made almost dizzy by watching the gyrations of boys on bicycles on the sidewalk in front of their house.
 Officer Harper, detailed by Ser geant Matthias Rival for the in- vestigation corralled the boys, who said that they would never ride on sidewalks again.
