SPENT BY
CHICAGOANS ON GEMS

Chicago.-More than $4,000 900
worth of jewels We're imported to
Chicago in 1911. This commentary
on prosperity came to light after the
report of the treasury department was
made public. That report stated
that more than $41 100000 worth of
jewels were imported by the United
States during the past year.
These jewels merely enhance the
splendor and value of the collection
that was already in this city in the
possession of well-known society wo-
men, many of whom are noted for
their magnificent gems.
Mrs. Samuel insult, wife of the
president of the Commonwealth Edl-
son company is said to possess the
rarest and most valuable collection
of gems in Chicago. Most of them are
pearls and diamonds, and she is con-
stantly endeavoring to secure more
and more beautiful pearls.
Certain eastern jewelers. are said
to be under a standing commission to
Obtain especially pure and lustrous
pearls for her, which they submit for
her inspection, often receiving order
to secure more like them. .
In the realm of society Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer can scarcely be pictured
without her dazzling diamond tiara
and dog collar, the later set in plianti-
mum, while Mrs Hobart Chatfield-
Taylor's diamond coronet is almost
invariably seen on her head at i'm
portant evening functions.
Both of these women own other
exquisite jewels, the total value of
Mrs. Palmers being estimated at
about S5000 900.
Mrs. George NJ. Pullman already
monds and pearls, and has orders
standing with New York and Partisan
jewelers. for more gems to match
those now in her possession.
One of the exceptionally beautiful
items in Mrs. Marshall Fields jewel
box is her pearl earrings daintily set
in platinum. They are very large and
of exquisite luster.
Mrs Horace F. Mccormick and
Mrs. Cyrup H. Mccormick both pos
! sess some of the most beautiful jew
/ elS III chicago. All Oh them are SCI
in subdued fashion and flash and
| sparkle from the depths of platinum
| and gold.
Another wearer of similarly sci
/ jewels is Mrs. p. A. Valentine, who
is very partial to pearls, as is also
/ Mrs w. ]. Chalmers. Both of theiI
collections represent a fortune
Mrs j. ogden Armour is the proud
possessor of a rope of pearls said tC
be the most wonderful ever seen il
Chicago. 1t reaches from her necl
to her knees and every pearl is per
fectly matched.
They range from about the size o
large pea to several in the cente
'of the rope. which are as big as mar
bles. Mr.. Armour spent two years Sc
curing the perfectly matched gems
and the entire rope is estimated to b.
worth at least S250,000.

TO TAKE UP CASES
AGAINST RAILROAD

Los Angeles, July 25.-United States
District Attorney Mccormick return
ed from San Francisco today to be-
gin suits for the government against
the Southern Pacific railroad and
nearly 800 private interests for the re-
covery of oil lands in this state worth
approximately one billion dollars.
THE suits against the Southern
Pacific will be instituted on the ground
that there was knowledge that the
lands that were taken up were min
eral in quality" stated Mccormick.
They will be pushed in the same way
that the Elk Hill cases are now be-
ing pushed.
The land involved is in the Inyo-
Kern-Coalinga oil fields and is of tre-
mendous value. Just what 1 cannot

DALzElL MAY come
BACK Says RUMOR

Washington, July 25.-Politicians of
both the republican and democratic
parties are interested today in a story
which has reached here from Penn
sylvania to the effect that Congress-
man John Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
who recently went down to defeat in
the landslide in Pennsylvania, may
come back after all. A movement
is expected to chrystallize in Pennsyl-
vania today to outflank the disaster
in Pittsburg by selecting him as one
of the members of the house at large
to which Pennsylvania is now entit-
led. 1t is urged that Dalzell, besides
being personally unusually capable
and popular, has great influence on
the ways and means committee. 1t
is also stated that the protected in
terests of Pennsylvania need a man
of that committee and that 1t would
be a recogn tion of the services of a
man who has been thirteen terms in
the house to send him back again as
a member at large. 1t will be one
of the strangest things in the his
tory of congress If Dalzell should be
sent back to the house as a member
at large. Another strange thing about
the situation Is that a lot of repub-
licans, including many insurgents,
and many democrats in the house
hope for his return. AS a member of
the rules committee skilled in draft
ing rules and in the niceties of parlia-
mentary practice. Dalzell is often call
ed upon by his democratic enemies to
help them out of a hole.
Once before in his career, when
Dalzell seemed sure of defeat the
protected interests created a new dis
trict, it is claimed, and he was sent
back to congress as its representa-
tive

san Francisco, July 25.-"I only

was the answer little golden-haired
Dixie Burgess, with voice as liquid
as birds, gave to Judge Coffey when
asked If she wanted to become the
adopted daughter of Prof. Thor Ra-
je, of the Pacific musical institute.
Then Dixie sang an aria from an
Italian opera for the Judge, and he
granted Raje guardianship of the
child.
Mrs. Burgess herself is bedridden
and unable to provide for her daugh-
ter with the necessary training.

Some New Facts About Adhesion

II. M, Burgett, in an address held
at the Royal Society, London, spoke
of some interesting experiments
made by himself concerning adhesion.
Two highly polished metal plates, If
laid one upon the other, will adhere,
and considerable pressure is necessary
to pull them apart. Sometimes they
will not separate under pressure, and
one plate must then be slid length
wise from the surface of the other.
1t was supposed this adhesion was
due to atmospheric pressure. but eX-
periments made in a vacuum, during
which the adhesion persisted, long
since exploded this theory, says the
$. f. Examiner.
Budget now declares that If two
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-07-25

metal discs are placed one upon the
other they will, in short time, on
being separated, show considerable
rust. From this he deduces that Ii
quid matter of some sort, remaining
on the highly polished surface is ac-
countable for the rust, and also for
the adhesion Almost all metals are
polished with oil of some sort, and
no matter how carefully they are
cleaned, it is almost impossible to re-
move every bit of the polishing oil
Water has the greatest adhesive pow
er Plates or discs moistened with
water adhere so closely that sometimes
the surface of the plates is damaged
in tearing them asunder.
