In the rivalry between steam and
sailing vessels for the freight traffic
of the ocean, the steamship has of late
years had greatly the advantage, in
creasing much faster than the sailing
vessel, in number and size. But it
should not be inferred that the sail
ing vessel is going out of existence.
Wind is cheaper than fuel, and in the
case of goods for the delivery of
which there is no haste. its great
power will long be utilized to carry
freights across the seas.

Chicagos School Board has decided
that its teachers must have sound
bodies as well as sound minds, and
great many applicants for certificates
are now holding back because of the
new rule that they must submit to a

the test.

FadS in Jewelry.

The fad of the moment in jewelry is
matriX stones. The matrix of opals and
turQuoises is the special craze. From the
matriX of turquoise come those large bee
ties now pronounced SO modish set with
Etruscan gold work and tipped with bril-
est of brooches, selling at $50. Smaller
beetles, but equally well set. can be
bought for 1925. while one the size of
the usual brilliantly-colored Brazilian
beetle, having a pair of gold wings, pref
tily wrought, folded down on the sides. is
to be had for $50. An opal matrix, either
oval or circular, with its sparkling pris-
brooch set with diamonds. The size of
the matrix determines its price. one of
$500 being quite two inches long. Natur-
ally, the quality and weight of the dia-
mOndS are the next points of cCnSidera-
ton regarding price. From 500 to $1,000
is fair estimate of such brooches, finely
set.
Among the personally decorative capri
clous Jewels, which are modish today
and forgotten tomorrow. are the last
Paris importations in short hair brooch
es, to be worn below the chignon comb.
For full dress wear, with diamond set
tings of rare beauty and design, measur-
ing, as these new ones do, from four
to six inches in length, quite the size of
uuChlt lue uHtSl VI lueID ranges from
1928 to $3.50. Long ovais, with an even
ness of line, or broken artistically into
irregularity. are ultra modish. For
lesser prices are all manner of charming
brooches of this character in gold and
also set with diamonds or small pearls.
These may one buy for $50, $iOO to
5000. Gold ones, without jewels are
very smart looking in the hair. They
range from So to $50. The small back
hair brooches are now uuito n,eco -
spite of their value and beauty. It goes
without saying, that low wide brimmed
hats look as smart again when the hair
is dressed with one of these long pins.
For very ceremonious dinner and ball
dressing, coiffures are not thought 70 he
complete unless the wearer has spent no
less than $1,000 upon the requisite four
head pieces in diamonds-a chignon
comb, two side--combs and this long new
brooch, worn close to nape of the neck.

FAMOUS LAND CASE REVIVED.
Federal Courts Reverse the Decision
Against AIger in Tennessee.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 9-The
United States court of appeals has re-
yersed the decision of the lower court in
the famous Alger land case involving
about 100000 of money and 14.SO4
acres of mountain land situated in
Franklin county. Tennessee, which the
complainant, Gen. Alger, purchased of
Col. John +. Anderson in March, 1889.
Abrogation of the contract was sought
on the ground that fraud had been prac-
tlced on Gen. Alger. 1t was alleged in
the bill that Anderson and his agents
had faced up the coal entries on the land
and had them painted in such manner so
that they presented a solid face of coal
indicating veins of from 4 to II feet in
thickness
1t was also charged that Col Anderson
had conveyed about $500 acres of land
which he knew he did not own, and Col
Anderson and his agents had paid A. J.
Freer, the land-looker and coal expert of
Gen. Alger, $4,000 to recommend the
sale to. his employer. The land has no
mineral value. The lower courts decided
Against Gen. Alger, but the decision Of
the federal court is in his favor.
