Famous French Crown Jewels

The famous French crown jewels
were lost during the Revolution,
among them being the famous Re-
gent diamond and the Dragon or
Cote de Bretagne ruby, both of
which were subsequently recovered.
The Regent or Pitt diamond was
sold by Thomas Pitt, governor of
Fort st. George, to Philip of Or
leans, and was at various times
mounted in the crown, on the
mound, and on the hilt of the state
sword. In 1848 the crown Jewels
were scheduled for sale, a scheme
which was not carried out, but by
a law of 1887 they were sold at
auction, and only few, such as
the Regent, were retained by the
state and are preserved in the
Louvre.

THURSDAY

Again I spent troubled night.
It was not so much that did not
sleep. I slept fitfully; for now ex-
hausted nature was demanding her
toll. It was more that dreams
bothered me-broken dreams with
out logic or continuity, great, loom
ing, shadowy scenes which glided
with an incredible ease and rapid
ty, one into the other, blended for
an interval and then by some in
conceivable magic separated and
changed again. Worries! And all
major worries! Walter and Molly!
Margaret Fairweather! And-my
thoughts always broke here and
melted into kind of dim, troubled
confusion.
However, I was up and dressed
as soon as I had finished my break
fast. When I came downstairs,
found Sylvia occupying herself with
Dorinda Belle on the piazza.
"How does it happen that you're
not down at the Merry Mere?" I
demanded.
''Nancy isn't coming over to-
day." Sylvia informed me. "And
thought I'd stay up here. I think
I'll make a new dress for Dorinda
Belle"
She was sitting on a little foot
stool beside one of the Gloucester
hammocks. Beside her was her
little work-basket.
Over the cushions lay bits of
dress material which I had given
her from time to time; patches of
silk and chiffon; snippets of ribbon;
tags of lace. She was threading
an enormous darning-needle. I took
it that Dorinda Bellies sorry ward

Basketball Men Unexcited
Over Zone Defense Squawk

Experienced basketball men are
paying little attention to recent
screams about the zone defense
running the game. One member of
the rules committee points out that
this type of defense is almost as
old as the game itself and capable
coaches always have been able to
find way to Offset it without plead
ing for new laws to make things
easier for them. Incidentally,
here is tip-Off concerning the diff
ference in rules in various sections
of the country. At recent Butler
Indiana game in Indianapolis it was
announced that play would be &C
cording to "Big Ten Rules" The
only way 'Big Ten Rules" differ
from other college rules is that the
winning team takes home the ball.

the first thing I had to do was to
resign as Aces secretary. Then /

my mind. But 7 had a dim suspi-
cion that if he didn't keep off, de-

when Ace needed money, he had
asked me to make out the check
and sign his name to it. Then I
would beat it down to the bank and
cash it for him. The checks all
went through. Naturally gave
Ace the money. Anyway, one Sat-
urday night I gave Ace notice that
was quitting my job. He said
he was glad that I'd come to that
conclusion because he had several
weeks before come to the same
conclusion. And then to my aston
ishment, he said that I'd got to
leave town if I wanted to keep out
of Jail. Naturally, I asked what
he meant by that. He said that
because he respected my father and
mother so much he would lodge
no complaint against me if l left
Satuit, but if l stayed, he would
have me arrested for forgery-on
the score of those checks. He said
he had whole sheet of paper on
which I had practiced writing his
name. That was most likely true.
He said that he had taken the
checks I had signed to a handwrit-
ing expert, all shuffied up with
checks which bore his genuine sig
nature and that the expert had
picked out the forgeries. I said,

THE government says the surviv-

add that this proves the Indians
are holding their own, but, since
we've left them very little of their
own to hold, I stayed my hand.
The Navahoes always have been
the most independent and aloof of
all the tribesmen. For the most part,
they continue to live a nomadic ex-
istence, following their ancient be-
liefs and ceremonials, refusing to be
Gagged in towns, yet, numerically and
in material possessions, they out
grow any other tribe.
Can it be that the white mans
culture, which we so jealousy
strive to cram down the outlets of
red people and black and brown
and yellow, isn't always what the
victims need?
But, of course, to say that is prac-
tically to admit our civilization
might have a few tiny flaws in it,
whereas we know it to be the one
perfect creation of man, and for
proof point to it's GROWING achieve

The Spells System.
THIS isn't criticism, it's timid
l. little prediction based on all
the political experience that the past
yields to us:
Pledges of curtailment in govern
mental expenditures, as eman-
ating from White House sources,
are undoubtedly sincere. But Andy
Jackson or whoever it was first
coined the line, expressed the
correct idea when he said that
to the victor belonged the spoils-
and not to let them spoil too long
either.
So it shouldn't surprise anybody
or deeply shock anybody, except
the few G. o. P. boys still scattered
through congress, if Pennsylvania
and Missouri and certain other
states should go right on getting
plenty out of the treasury for con-
tinued relief work on behalf of Sem

But, of course, it will continue
to remain an evidence of soulless
greed for Uncle Sam even to init

little something on account against
the enormous amount she owes us

used to build up her army and also,
it would appear, to pass along to
