@. What are the IL most precious
stones in order of their value?-J. p.
A. The Smithsonian Institution says
that it is impossible to give a definite
answer to the question. Many factors
enter into the value of gem, such as
size, freedom from flaws, color, etc.
For example, in one-carat size, dia-
mond might be more valuable than an
emerald, but in 10-carat size, an
emerald of fine color might be more
valuable than fine diamond. The
difficulties become even greater in the
less expensive gems such as topaz, aqua
marine or amethyst. Also. if it were
possible to draw up such list, the rela-
tive positions of the gems on the list
would vary from time to time, depending
on such changing factors as supply and
popularity.
@. For how many years was Stain
In exile and where did he live during
that TIMER. II. s.
A. Stain had joined the Tiflis branch
of the Russian Social Democratic
Workers Party in 1898. In this asso-
citation he became a professional agi-
tator, fostered mass strikes and demon
strations and finally ran afoul of the
police In 1902. He was arrested in
Batum, where he spent a year in Jail
before being transferred to Kutaisi. In
1908 he was exiled to Siberia but later
escaped and returned to Tif1is to resume
his revolutionary activities. In the fol-
lowing years, until 1917, there was a
series of arrests, imprisonments, exiles
and escapes.

Rent-ControI Session
Called in Arlington

Arlington landlords and tenants
will present their views on rent
control at public hearing
sponsored by the Arlington County
Board at 8 pm. tomorrow.
The hearing in the Circuit Court
room is the first step under a law
which empowers the Economic
Sterilization Agency to impose
controls in areas lacking adequate
defense housing.
The Arlington Civic Federation
has announced it will send a rep
resentative to the hearing to speak
in favor of rent control for a large
group of countrywide organiza-
tionS.
Following the hearing, the
County Board. if it believes con-
trolls to be necessary, may adopt
a resolution asking that Arlington
be declared a defense area where
housing is inadequate. Rent con-
troll thus would be established on
all housing built and rented before
February. 1947.
Arlington was decontrolled
along with all other communities
in Virginia by an act of the Gen.
eral Assembly last year.

"The apple growers haven't CO.
operated" said a spokesman for
the festival promoters. I'VE are
thinking of abandoning the apple
theme. We want to promote Char
lottesville So weeks a year."
Delicious Drop in Price.
The one concern of the apple
growers at the moment seems to
be price. The national crop this
year is 125 million bushels and
they fear there are too many
apples for the market.
A good grade of Delicious, which
opened at $4.25 bushel early in
the season. is now down to $3.50.
Prices always 60 down as the sea-
son advances. but last year the
same grade of apple was bringing
50 a bushel at this time. one of the
producers said.
The Appalachian area Virginia,
West Virginia. Maryland and part
Of Pennsylvania will produce
about Is million bushels this year
despite late drought which cuts
down on the size of some varieties
The one hope of the Eastern
producers. this apple grower said,
is that the movement of Washing
ton and Oregon apples to Eastern
markets, which reaches a big vol
ume by the middle of October
will not hit prices as much as
usual. The Pacific Coast crop, he
said. is not as big as in former
wears.

and few factories. and most of the
things that furnished a house
were made on the spot. That was
in 1882, and since then Water
