PRIEST BARS SPLIT SKIRTS
Refuses to Administer Sacrament to
"scantlIy cIad"- Women Of
Meriden, Conn.

Meriden, Conn.-Women whom Rev.
James Conlin of St. Roses Catholic
church of this city believes to be im-
modestly or too scantily clad will be
barred from the sacrament at the al
tar. Father Conlin said he believed 1t
was his duty as a priest to refuse holy
communion to women in slit skirts or
girls wearing low-cut or peek-a-boo
waists.
Father Conlin. who came here from
New Haven. created sensation few
months ago when he forbade the wo-
men Of his parish attending masquer-
ades and denounced the wearing by
women Of male attire at dances.
"The church of God Is neither ball
room nor recreation pier" said Faith

stones, principally diamonds. at $10.-
1S3,491. In 1911 the total reached
$38,374,891 and In 1910 the highest
previous record was made when the
receipts amounted to $44.Ss5.057 The
imports in 1907 were $41.112.371 and
in 1906 $4O,217.542, which are the
only fiscal years which have reached
the $40.000.000 mark.
There has been a tendency on the
part of the De Beers Consolidated
Mines to increase the price of dia-
monds during the year now ending.
and there is now present large num-
ber Of New York dealers in the Euro
pean markets who report that they
have difficulty in getting gems suit
able for the American market.
There has been marked increase
in the demand for colored stones, and
fine Ceylon sapphires of 10 and 12
carats have been sold at from $400 to
$500 a carat, which Is an enormous
increase in price since the beginning
of the year. These gems are the most
fashionable at present and 1t Is pre-.
dicted that fine sapphires will soon
rank next to<emeralds II they do not
surpass them in price. One reason
for this is that there are no fine sap
phires coming to the market and only
the reserve stock is being offered at
high prices
The demand for fine pearls has
been unprecedented In the last year
and there are at presnt few desirable
gems Of this kind offered to Amer
lean dealers. The increase in the
price of these gems has been phenom-
email. Ludwig Nissen. New York
gem dealer. on sailing recently for
Europe, said fine large pearls from
FIVE to fifteen grains In weight have
advanced at least rs per cent in the
last fifteen years. and exceptionally
fine pearls have shown much great
er increase. He said that the reason
for the increase in value Is that the
fine gems have become very scarce.
He said that in the last five years
there has not been an average yearly
production Of more than $10,000.000
worth of pearls from all the fisheries,
while much more than that amount
is paid by the wealthy for fine pearls
in New York each year.

BELL RINGERS BURN SCHOOL
Youthful Fourth Of July Prank Sup

son $4,000.

Port Jefferson, l.. 1.-The local au-
thorities are making an investigation
of the origin OF the fire that totally
destroyed the fine building of the Port
Jefferson high school, in the belief
that the fire was started by youths
who entered the building to ring the
bell as a welcome to the Fourth OF
July.
1t has for several years been the
ambition Of certain young men to
ring the school bell early on the morn
ing of the Fourth. In previous years
they have failed. and 1t Is believed
that this year they succeeded. and
that they accidentally set the build
ing afire while lighting their way
about with matches and fed without
giving an alarm.

ter midnight. The school stood on

LARGE ALFALFA SEED YIELD
Ono Plant Made Exceptionally Fine
Growth Of Leafy Stems-soil Con-
ditions Important.

(By r. II. BLINN. Colorado Agricultural
College)
A fine alfalfa plant, after running
the gauntlet Of hundred thousand
visitors, many Of whom examined the
pods, ito see If the seed had filed"
and being shipper three times across
press. and then travelling over near
ly all the railroads of the state with
the demonstration train, yielded 1913
grams of clean seed, equivalent to
3A ounces of seed from the one
plant
The plant was found in field Of
Baltic alfalfa, grown at the expert
ment station at Rocky Ford, the
field was sown in 1911 In twenty
inch rows for seed production, the
field was not irrigated during the
the season was favorable for seed
yield. and the field averaged less
than fifty pounds of seed to the acre.
yet this one plant, in the midst OF the
field surrounded by thousands OF
plants under the same conditions
which failed to produce seed salts
factorily, made an exceptional
growth of fine leafy stems and set
such an enormous yield of seed.
Sixty grams Of the seed from this
plant have been used to seed tenth
acre plot for increase at Rocky Ford.
and also a row in the comparative
nursery test that comprises other
choice selections. Thirty grams Of the
seed have been sent to the station at
Fort Collins to test out in that sec
ton Of the state.
The work Of selecting choice indi-
vidual plants is resulting in decided
improvement Of the type of alfalfa.
not only for seed alone. but fine

The question Of seed production
seems to depend on more care in Sc

Fashion Leaders Demand the

Custom House Figures for Recent
Months Show Increased Imports
Of Rare Gems-DeaIers Dis
count the Duties.

New York-The high cost Of living
has not decreased the demand Of the
American people for diamonds and
other precious stones. The imports
of gems to the United States IL the
fiscal year ending with June will
amount to more than $50.0OO,0o0. &C.
cording to an estimate made by a
Maiden lane authority, who bases his
prediction on the total gem receipts
at the port of New York in the first
eleven months.
The appraised value Of the dia-
mbnds and other precious stones that
have already passed through the New
York custom house is $43,6S6.2S0.
record-breaking figures for similar
period in any year. The figures for
this year are estimated at $50,000,0OO.
Fear on the part of the big New
York gem importers that they Will
have to pay a higher duty on gems
under the new tariff bill has caused
them to rush in large quantities OF
diamonds and other precious stones
since the provisions Of the bill be-
came known. In May the receipts
totaled $4,606.323, record-breakinG fig
ures for that month. In April $685.
6s1 worth of gems passed through the
appraisers stores. The figures for
March reached $4,341,17s. February
receipts totaled $4,299.435. and in jan
uary $3,S99.995 was the appraised
value Of the gems imported. Under
the present tariff schedule the cut
gems are dutiable at ten per cent.
and there is no duty on the rough
product. The Underwood bill pro-
vides for a duty Of 20 per cent on
cut and 10 per cent on uncut gems.
The New York gem merchants, work
Ing through their association. are
fighting for a retention of the present
schedule.
In the fiscal year which ended on
June 80, 1912. the importation Of gems
to New York amounted to $39, ,445.2S5.

game reserve of $4,000 acres Of land
included within the Pocatello national
forest. The negotiations have been
opened with the Idaho delegation at

Sportsmen say that Idaho must take
