It was a sort of sanctified precinct where one felt the presence of imperialism and power. The big circle with the column of Alexander I marking its center, with the palace occupying one lurge arc and the former gov ernmental departments the rest, imparts no feeling of reverence to the people of today.

Tills city, neloved capital of Peter the Great and his "Window looking towards Europe," better known as l'etrogrud or St. Petersburg, seen after ten years by one who knew it at the peak of its glory and who witness ed the beginning of its decline, re sembles a tarnished brass button. Outwardly it is the same; the contour and design are there, but there is no glitter. There is much activity in the streets and even signs of iftoderate prosperity, but the brilliancy imparted by the gaudier Czarist uniforms, the smartness of the women, the lux urious carriages and motor cars of other days is gone. , Leningrad todny is serious, semi somnolent and drab.

Cathedral Like Spectre Beyond lies St. Isaac's Cathedral, completed during the reign of Nicholas I, and 39 years in process of construction, dating from 1819. It is awe inspiring from without with its massive granite -columns and , glided dome. Its interior is dunk and denuded of some of its glittering altars, Ikons and candel- bra.

"Any veterau of the World War. whether disabled or not, is entitled to1 an adjusted service certificate, which is a form of insurance pro vided by iho government.

"The government has mado pro vision for bundling loans on these certificates, but tho ' loan value does not accrue until two cars af ter the certificate i.i filed. Adjust ed service certificates, however, should be looked upon by the men who hold them as being fu ture protection for themselvej or their families. The ceititlcuto -is virtually the sume as a twenty-, yeur endowment policy. Loans should not be thoughtlessly asked, for unless the man repays the loan when it is due, it stands as an luterest-beurlug charge against the certificate, gradually reducing Up value of the certificate itself. 'J he men should keep their certificates Intuct, using them us collateral tor a loun only when some real emer gency arises. 'The family of a veteran who has died since the war without filing claim is entitled to un.l should file claim for the adjusted service compensation regardless of the cause of his death. "Another fact of extreme Im portance Is that July 2, 1927, is positively the lust day upon which war risk term insurance can be converted. All veterans holding term Insurance policies should convert them before this date." Information and advice concern ing muny details of government benefits is available through tho Red Cross and all veterans are urged to bring .their problems while there is still a chance of their solution. . 1L THIEF IS WANTED I PUT SAFETY FIRST ES Clyde Coruett, who in being held In the county jail on an auto theft charge, is wanted by the de partment of justice, according to word received by Sheriff S. W. Starmer. Cornott Is believed to have transported a stoleu car fron? California into Oregon, which Is u violation of the federal statute. He confessed to the theft of Con stable Dillard's car several weeks ago, and while serving time for that crime, stole a cur uolonging to the construction foreinnn ou the Lopu Lake, roud where he was working as a trusty. Ho was appre hended on the way out to the Pa cific highway and was placed In jail. The matter came to the atten tion of the department of justice officials and they will take the young man to Portland to answer to a federal charge. He will be surrendered to the government by the county. ' . y To locomotive crews the Fourth of July Is not yet so safe or sane as it might be, according to J.

"Tho holiday spirfit seems to make otherwise careful drivers careless nnd tn spite of every safe ty device and precaution, provided at crossings, railroads are almost helpless to prevent the annual toll of crossing watchmen run down, lowered gates crashed through, and . trains run into by careless motorists. Racing trains to cross ings, stalling on tracks, attempted shift of gears, and the ignoring of warnings given by Bigns, crossing flagman, bells and; whistles are all fruitful accident causes.

Lindbergh' visit cost France a lot of money. - The lights alone, to show tho way to Paris, cost a nice sum. The biggest searchlight In the world, on Mont Valei-ion, west of Paris, sent Its rays 200 miles all that Saturday evening.
