Today 1hese sheets of valuable metal are being weighed on scales and melted down to be sold to help feed Russia's famine sufferers Here and there throughout Russia there have been disturbances in con- nection with the requisitions, but the outstanding feature of the campaign to transform these valuables into bread has been the calm manner in which parishioners have watched the requisitions. The Associated Press correspondent spent a morning with the Moscow requisition committee watching the work at an ancient church and a big convent in Moscow. At the latter a few nuns, solemn faced, but unresist- ing, watched the methodical work of the requisitioners and even assisted them by pointing out the treasures containing genuine diamonds. Fifteen minutes work stripped from an ikon, all of the silver and gold, before which Ivan the Terrible once knelt, and left it a cracked oil paint- ing. A few snips of the shears and a collar of tiny seed pearls, weighing rerhaps six pounds and which must have taken months of patient needle work to construct, was cut from an- other ikon and tossed into a box with silver cups, diamond-studded crosses and communion cups of gold. Scores of hanging lamps of silver and hand- wrought enamel, which had been carefully tended and filled with oil and lighted for centuries, came down just as quickly and were thrown in heaps on a wooden bench to be listed and weighed on the scales. Church Wealth Most of the wealth of the church has been placed in the overlays of jkons. The Greek Catholic church abhors statues, but permits pictures of the saints. Originally mere oil paintings, these ikons have been framed in gold or silver and then overlays of precious metal fitted over —DRINK— Ayres’ Soda Water Call for it by name and get the best.

Though probahly communist them- selves and therefore scorning the cus- toms of the orthodox, they doffed their hats upon entering the church. They did not enter the sanctuary or other holy rooms but permitted the priest or some other person designat- ed by the faithful to hand out to them the valuable articles from these places. Experts from the government mu- seums accompanied the requisitioners and if they discovered objects of great historfcal value these were pronounc- ed ‘“museum articles” and not sold hut removed to the museums cr per- mitted to remain in the churches. At the Nikitski convent, one {kon, which the nuns particularly valued was not taken, as the parishioners agreed to pay over to the famine fund its value in silver coin. for example, Osaka Municipality Plans Large Playground Osaka, June 2.—The Osaka muni- cipality plans to establish a gigantic public play ground capable of ac- commodating 70,000 people near the Osaka harbor at the estimated cost of $120,000, with a view of encouraging public interest in physical develop- ment.

No more “economy courts,” as they were called, are to be held. These were established by their majesties after the war to set fashionable soclety a much needed example in curbing ex- travagance, The seal of royal approv- al has now again been bestowed on | court trains. Indeed no woman can be presented at court who does not wear them. Of course as a man the Lord Chamberlain cannot presume to be an expert on fashionable feminine dress, but it is one of his -many offi- cial duties to lay down the rules and regulations to which women must conform at the most exalted of court fuections. That is one of the things for which he is paid $15,000 a year. He has to be a peer besides to qualify for the exalted office which is accounted among the political plums that the prime minister has to give away. The present lord chamberlain is in the top class of the peerage. He is the Duke of Athell. Restores Court Trains, By restoring the court train he has earned the blessing of the fashionable dressmakers. But they would have lengthened their blessings if he had lengthened the trains. Before the war three yards was their regulation length, while Queen Victoria didn't consider four yards too long. By the new regulations they . need be only | two yards in length and should not extend more than 19 inches from the heel of the wearer when standing. To walk backwards before royalty in a train three yards long without getting tangled up in it, imposes a severe tax on the agility and skill of not a few socially ambitious wom- en. Queen Mary is a very kind wom- an and she would naturally wish to spare her sex making exhibitions of themselves. Hence she was in favor of the shorter length for trains.
