An Event In Sunday Journalism

An Event In Sunday journalism.
The people of the middle West are
rapidly discovering that the Sunday
Magazine Of THE CHICAGO RECORD
HERALD Is not only real magazine
but also one of the greatest in this age
OF magazines. It's recent display of
enterprise Ia paying 1926 900 for the ex-
elusive serial rights Of Conan Doyle's
new romance, "Sir Nigel" compelled
even the editors Of the famous month
lies to acknowledge the presents Of n
new and powerful rival.
When this was followed by Anthony
Hopes new Xenda romance, 'Sophy
OF Kravonia," the reading world need
ed no further proof that the Sunday
Magazine OF THE RECORD HERALD
was able to capture the finest and
most costly new Action offered in
England and America. It's illustra-
tions and cover designs In color have
from the beginning been of unsurpass-
ed beauty and artistic grace. Its
short stories, descriptive articles,
humor, poetry and sketches of all
kinds are the choicest that the literary
market affords many of them being
written by the most popular authors
and magazine contributors In the
United States. In short, II Is an en-
tertaining, high-class magazine that
will bear comparison with the best in
dependent weeklies or monthlies, what
ever the price.
There Is nothing else like IL in
American journalism.

NEW WAY TO RAISE FUNDS
How Two Prospectors Came in for a
Good Stake

There were a couple of p%rospectors
in the city last week. That of itself
was nothing unusual. The country
is full of mining p~rospectors. These
prospectors were broke-nothing I'M
usual in that, either-but we're
anxious to get out of town and re-
sumo their arduous but always fas-
cinating calling.
How to raise the wind" was the
all-important question with them.
They were strangers, without friends
or influence. Fortunately for them
they made their condition known to
a couple of men who are always
ready and willing TO assist the un-
fortunate, especially If the party in
distress be in the mining line. These
gentlemen listened to the prospect
ors' tale of woe, and at once put
them next to a job, by which they
could easily raise money enough
with which to resume their pros
pecting work,
They gathered up seventeen sacks
ore sacks; in fact, the gentlemen
furnished them the sacks, and go
al ound to the different assay offices
in the city ane gather up the loose
Gre that was lying around loose
without an owner and only in the
way of the assayers. This they did.
The assayers were glad to have it
taken away.
They gathered II p%seventeen sacks
Of ore, sent them to the smelter, and
in return received a check for some
thing over $500. Now, what do you
think of that? This certainly en-
.phasizes with a vengeance the truth
of the adage, that where there is a
will there is always a way.

So quietly that only a few score
people in one branch of trade in
Europe and this country have been
aware of it, = revolution is in prog
ress. Neither anarchy o socialism,
with all their sound and fury, has
been able to upset all recognized
standards of values and put the mil
~lionaires of the earth in a panic. Yet
the next few months may see that re-
suit accomplished by a simple COM
bination of chemistry and commerce.
About five years ago an old French
chemist pottering about his labora-
tory in the suburbs of Paris rugged
up a machine, through which he
passed alumina, powdered and fused
at an intense heat, The machines
output was a few red globules. The
old chemist had a handful of rubies.
II the old man had kept his secret
to himself a new Monte Cristo"
could have been written. But law
and custom in France require chem
iats and jewelers. to use truthful
labels. so the artificial stone that
would stand every test of the experts
came to this country in the modest
guise OF the reconstructed ruby"
Dealers in precious stones scorned
them, but grew uneasy. The chief
result of their advent was that rubies
became non-negotiable assets in the
loan market. The gem more precious
than the diamond was rejected by
the pawnshop, and the people of the
turf and kindred souls who deposit
their wealth in pins, rings and studs
instead of banks forsook their
ancient favorites and would have no
red lights about their persons.
Among people OF wealth and re-
hnement pearls were more in favor
at the time and small attention was
paid to the invention. But the New
York customs officials now are strug-
Cling with a problem that will shake

confidence in the best regulated
jewel casket. Shipments of sap
phires, that are made like the IRE
constructed" rubies and emeralds
that are colored aquamarines, but
stand every test of gravity and hard
ness of the costlier stones, are here
awaiting classification. The bargain
counter diamond may be the next
immigrant.
Maiden Lane is not the scene of
unmixed happiness. What is to be-
come of the glittering %horseshoes at
the Metropolitan and Hammerstein's
if all the effect of new tiaras, FIVE
row necklaces and stomachers can
be nullified by a jealous rivals whis-
per of "Reconstructed?" How can
the leaders of society and Chicago
and Pittsburg breakfast %henceforth,
authenticity of their brooches and
a and finger rings may be doubted?
Chains of certified checks ard
pendants of baroque bonds may be-
come the only fashionable wear. The
poetry of all the centuries will have
to be revised, and all belief in the
iixity of any value abandoned from
precious stones be banished from

reason why all ground is valuable,
only for the reason the showing is
perhaps a little better in one claim
than it is in another is why one
commands a better price than the
