MICH DIVISION OT GENERAL MOTORS COWOatATOM OVERTON & CO WEN Snick Dealers RARE GLASS GLOBE IN CAPITAL MUSEUM W«*W> Lrngert Cry»m^t- . tracts Lawmaker* Washington.--Resting on Its circular base, the world's most perfect crystal stands ready to reveal whatever secrets of the future may be desired. Appropriately enough, this rare globe of glass, nearly 14 inches in diameter and weighing 110 pounds, is in Washington's National museum. To this perfect orb come thousands to gaze, and, if possible, obtain a message from the mystic future or a warning based on events of the past Here, too, might be found the answer to political hopes and legislative ambitions. It is known that the capital has several senators and representatives who regularly visit, on certain days of each week, the oracle of the crystal gazers. The largest crystal ball In the world, guarded closely, came originally from China, where it was said to possess mystic powers and unusual accuracy in foretelling the future. Two hundred years ago Emperor Chieng Lung received a massive block of crystal, mined In ancient Burma. It must have weighed a thousand pounds, and been at least four feet square. Order* Big Crystal. The emperor gave orders that the mass be used to make a crystal ball of the largest possible size. To- do this the most skillful craftsman of the old empire was chosen. Thill took more than a year of effort It was then taken to Japan for repolishing. This work consumed about six months under Japanese artisans, the most skillful known in this work. The crystal, then in all its luster and scintillating brilliance, was given to the emperor, and it was one of his most valued possessions. It is said that for special service, a mandarin was told that he might have any wish fulfilled and the reward chosen was the great crystal. For almost two centuries it remained In the possession of the mandarin's descendants, until financial troubles compelled Its sale. It Is not hard to imagine the hands, both wrinkled and smooth, that have caressed this-polished surface. What hands have drawn back, as eyes have seen mirrored the events of the future! All the mysticism and hypnotic power ascribed to crystals in all ages and all countries leaps to the imagination as one gazes on this perfect specimen. Abode of Ancestors. Long, long ago, in China, it is said, the crystal ball was found in a dragon's lair. The emperor of that early period, gazing Into the ball, saw reflected the spirits of his bygone ancestors, praising and glorifying him for releasing them from control of the dreaded dragon. Thus, it is believed In the Orient that the crystal ball ts the abiding place of one's ancestors. It Is believed to possess the power of foretelling evil, since any evil spirit entering the house will first attempt to hide in the ball. Wben trouble Impends, the ball 1r placed at night outside the home. The cold morning dew clouds and dulls the luster. Carefully, then, and gently the surface Is rubbed, and, If the dew vanishes and the ball Is restored to perfect parity, the evil has been vanquished; if not --woe betide. Crystal gazing has long appealed to humanity. Congressmen are not the only illustrious persons who find solace and comfort in its visions. Roger Bacon has told-In his writings of the crystals possessed by the friars in which events happening at far distant places were mirrored. Rival Nurses Strive to Please Till It Hurts! Mexico City.--Fights between ambulance crews of the Red Cross of Mexico City and the "Green Cross," rival charitable organization, each 'striving to outdo the other in the number of accident ctfves handled, have resulted in further injuries to patients already hurt and being taken to hospitals. The Red Cross chapter complained to police that Green Cross ambulance men have attacked Red Cross ambulances bound for a hospital with accident victims. It was alleged that in some cases the injured had been forcibly removed from a Red Crose ambulance by the staff of a Green Cross car. Police plan to assign cones to each ambulance service to prevent further trouble. 19-Year-Old Olclahoman Is Champion Farmer Jones, Okla.--Although he is only nineteen years old.

Richelieu TYRANT and patriot, conspirator and foe to conspiracies, priest and man of blood, soldier and cardinal, great statesman and greater oppressor, generous patron of literature and personally a literary failure. These, In brief, are the chief characteristics of Armand Jean du Plessls, cardinal and Duke de Richelieu, the man who held all France In the hollow of his hand for a quarter century, and who did more than his share towards changing the destiny and history of the world. Henry IV had quieted the quarrels between Catholics and Huguenots, had built up the nation that had been so severely battered by long civil war, and had paved the way for modern progress. But In the helgfit of his career he had been murdered. His Infant son, Louis XIII, succeeded him, and, during the lad's minority the queen mother, Marie de Medici, and the letter's Italian friends were in practical control. As a result, the great nobles waxed unduly powerful, arrogant and rebellious of royal command ; abuses of many sorts crept Into the state; the glorious realm built np by Henry IV threatened to weaken and fall prey to foreign Influences. When Louis XIII grew to manhood there seemed scant chance for betterment He was weak, dissolute, lazy, stupid, with little thought or care for his country's best interests. It was at this critical moment that Richelieu appeared on the scene. Richelieu had been educated for the army, but on his elder brother's death. In 1006, had become bishop of Lucon. at the age of twenty-one. But the church, except as Its offices furthered his ambitions, held no attractions for the boy bishop. Par away, in Paris, glittered the gay court, and that court became his goal. Thither he went as clerical deputy for the states general, In 1614, and there he stayed. He won the Interest of the queen mother, and by her Influence was made secretary of state for war and foreign affairs. Barely had he begun his political dimb when, owing to court politics, he was disgraced and banished from Paris. But in 1620 he returned, and two years later became cardinal. Prom thence on he waa tbe foremost power In tbe state. He set to work at once tearing to pieces Prance's flimsy political fabric and remodeling It on a new basis. By execution, banishment and imprisonment he cut down the privilege* and growing strength of the great nobles. He demolished their mighty fortresses and curtailed their feudal rights. The power thus snatched from them was added to the crown. Next he assailed the Huguenots, besieging the city of Rochelle. their stronghold and rallying place. England sent provisions to the besieged, but Richelieu cut off the supply, forcing a surrender. By thas adding to the might of the crown and cutting away all forces that threatened to rival or weaken it, Richelieu was really strengthening himself. For he, and not tbe puppet, Louis Xffl, was actual ruler of France. Having disposed of foes at home, Richelieu next moved to check the power of the Hapeburgs In Austria and Spain, aiding the German aad Swedish Protestants In the Thirty Years' war, with a cheerful disregard to the fact that he had Just tried to wreck Protestantism in France. It was also by his contrivance that Portugal, In 1640, separated from Spain. Meantime, Louis XIII feared and hated Richelieu and would gladly have rid the earth of him had he been able to govern France without the cardinal's aid. But he could not get on without Richelieu, and,it was pleasant, while leading an Idle, dissipated life, to know another was making his kingdom the greatest in all Europe. The nobles whose privileges the cardtnal had curtailed, the soldiery and gallants whose duels he had forbidden on pain of death, the court and the king, all detested Richelieu. The queen mother, who had launched him in his career, turned against him. He wrecked her political power at one blow. The nobles again and again conspired to overthrow or assassinate him. He cut off the conspirators' heads. The clergy and parliament murmured at his tyranny. He put additional checks on them. Two noble- Ben, Cinq Mars and De Thou, plotted his downfall, and there can be little doubt King Louis was privy to their plot. Richelieu had the two executed, and the king dared not defend them. With Iron hand, relentlessly, arrogantly, yet ever wisely, this strange pan swayed the destinies of France, asking her powerful at home and terrible abroad, crushing out feudalism, building up a centralized royal power, conducting an Incredibly brilliant foreign policy. He was an ardent patron of arts and culture and was author Of some of the most poorly written poems and dramas of his day. Yet of these wretched literary efforts he Is said to have been prouder than of his wondrous statecraft. In December, 1642, he died, having placed France on a pinnacle of greatness that was the envy of the world. His puppet and dupe, Louis XIII, deprived of the man who had so long been his master and who had made his reign famous, died a few months later, leaving a son--Louis XIV--whose future greatness was largely due to the achievements of that relentless genius, Cardinal Richelieu, tha man who was greater than the king.
