SACKS OF GOLD IN OLD HOUSE

Gold louis of the reign of Louis XV. to the estimated value of £14,- 800 have been found by workmen who were demolishing an old house belonging to the City of Parls

at

Rue Mouffetard, In the Lulla Quar-

ter.

The men had just heaved a section of a wall into a contractor's lorry when they saw in the rubble a plece of sewn sucking.

One of them ripped it open, and out of it rolled what looked like a handful of yellow medals. Four more sacks were found..

AS PLAYTHINGS

The workmen, thinking them to be commemorative medals of base metal, shared them out and took them home for their children to play with.

The curloalty of one of the men, M. Flaminio Moures, wan. however, aroused, and he took his coins to a local Jeweller, who at once I'C- cognised them as gold louls, bearing the effigy of Louis XV. and various dates from 1710 to 1703.

M. Maures informed the police, and the elty engineer was sent to the house to make a search.

He found fragments of a parch- ment which proved to be

will drawn up in due form, though illegible in part, which read:

HALF TO FINDER

" the undersigned Loul Nivelle, nquire and secretary to the King, here-by bequeath my entire fortune at present of the value of 1,500 livres, my daughter Anne Louis Claude Nivelle,"

Under the French elvil code, the And is treasure trove, but

the treasure is unearthed in property other than that of the Ander, #1 belongs half to the owner of the property nd balf to the finder.

The city of Paris, as owner of the bukling, therefore can claim half. As regards the other half, the ques- tion arises whether il can be claimed by the contractor employing the workmen or by the workmen them- selves,

wealth now is his world-wide

reputation as a psychoanalyst.

He left behind him in Vienna his library, paintings, sculpture. He has no money. He gets about London by Tubu.

Even mure than the circumstance that he is a Jew, his writings on the psychology of Fascism made Vienna dangerous for him. A Fascist State Dr. Stekel says, grows out of a psychic epidemic of odoration which sweeps a country and merges massed inferiorities in superiority.

Because he lives so much in his mind Dr. Stekel's private misfortunes have affected him little. His wife has been ill and in hospital since they came to England—but she is recover- Ing.

He has no assurance that he can remain here, or that he can go, later, to America as he hopes to do.

"But i am not afraid," he said to mc. "1 I have never been afraid, My formula for happiness is--Overcome the past; live the present; prepare the future. And what I preach I do. "I am enraptured by London is full of excellent psychologists, and like the parks. Around
