Even the Pay Increase
Won't Get the Solons
Into the “400” Class
RARELY CAN A SOLON AFFORD
TO TRAVEL WITH THE ELITE,
THOUGH HE GETS $10,000 A
YEAR.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 11 —
That $2,500 a year pay increase may
help out with the campaign expenses
and apartment rent, but there is one
thing it won’t do for nine out of
every ten senators and representa
tives in Washington. It won’t get
them into real Washington society.
Except for a mere sprinkling in
both houses, the men sent to Wash
ington to help run the government
seldom get into the inner social
circle. Usually the trouble is a lack
of funds necessary to play the so
cial game. The $2,500 a year raise
would hardly hire a social secretary7, !
the first essential for any one wish
ing to break into society.
Congressmen can live well on $10,

He commented upon Seward being
very fortunate in not being done to
death with business competition, as is
the case down the Alaskan coast.

London Syndicate Seeks
Treasure Sunk 100 Years
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Apr. 13.—Searching lor
sunken treasure in Navarino Bay,
off the Greek coast, where a fleet
of Turco-Egyptian and Tunisian ves
sels went down nearly a hundred
years ago, was begun recently by a
London syndicate of insurance brok
ers. Specially designed salvage ships
were sent to the scene with the hope
of being able to carry out their pur
pose. Members of the expedition
have come to London for additional
supplies and diving apparatus and,
according to their reports, 63 ships
■were lost on which there were gold,
precious stones and statuary which
the Turks had removed from Greek
towns.
The treasure had been taken on
board the fleet for transport to Tur
key when Admiral Codrington in
1827 engaged the vessels in battle
and sank most of them. The bay
where the work has been started is
about four miles square, with , a
rocky bottom and a maximum depth
of water of approximately 180 feet.
It has been estimated, howTever, by
divers, that the sunken ships have
been covered with several feet of
mud washed down with the waters
from nearby mountains. A conces
sion for carrying on the salvage op
erations was granted by the Greek
government, which is to get from 15
to 20 per cent of the proceeds of
the expedition.
Good soil, good seed and good sires
spell success in farming whea com
bined with good business methods.
