carriers, however who are classifying
the names as they are received, say that
nothing can be predicted at this time,
and that the first day or two cannot be
taken as a guide, as the enumerators
were new to the work. For instance, the
returns Friday were larger than those
of the first two days, and 1t is believed
that Saturdays list will show an even
larger increase. Following are the fig
ures for the first three days as classified:
Wednesday, H. ,7S9; Thursday. 1924;
Friday, 26.15s; total, 56,1s1. From this it
will be seen that with only three days
work, more than half of the total num-
Der expected has been received.

From the Newsboys' Home

followed by a public reception. The
people of San Pedro are going to make
the Newsboys' home benefit excursion
or May Day success so far as they are
concerned A May Queen and Maypole

eras valued at about s55; also lot of
bicycle tools and door mat. The latter
was taken last night. and the other ar
ticles have disappeared within the last
week. 1t is supposed that some one en-
tered the store and picked up the cam
eras, bicycle parts and tools and made
his escape. This is evidently the work
of the thieves who are flocking in here
for Fiesta, and 1t is good plan for
householders to take extra precautions
against robbery, as the police force is
not large enough to thoroughly cover all

Artificial Rubies.

In a recent lecture Prof. A. p. Brown
Of Philadelphia described the methods
now practised for making artificial
gems. Although minute diamonds can
be made, with the aid OF the electric
furnace, none large enough to be EN-
ployed in jewelry have yet been pro-
duced. But rubies of large size, and as
fine in color and appearance as the best
natural gems, have been made. The
ruby is composed Of oxide Of aluminium.
A certain method of detecting. artif-
cial rubies is by examination with a
microscope. The natural gem is al
ways filled with minute cracks, invisible
to the naked eye, but perfectly discern
ible with a high magnifying power. The
artificial ruby has no cracks, but, on
the other hand, is filled with minute
bubbles, or %gas-holes. This test, ac-
cording to Prof. Brown, is the only one
by which the best artificial rubies can
be distinguished from the same gems
as nature makes them.

against brother. But the bitterness en-
gendered by those days has waned. On
the exposition board, working side by
side with a common purpose, there
have been soldiers Of the north and OF
the south. 1t used to be east, middle

while Thomas and Hood strove for the
mastery. Now the stars and stripes
float over a new scene, illustrative of
the arts Of peace. This summer the

All States Represented.
In the exposition, as built, no Sec

or buildings or exhibits within. 1t
stands first for Tennessee, second for
the south and third for the whole ma

south It offers an object less In re-
