TO TEST YOUR RING.

A recent case shows how an enterpris-
ing working jeweler pawned eighteen
carat gold rings at various places, until
it was discovered. more or less by acci-
dent, that 1t was only the outer case that
was eighteen-carat gold-the inside, Or
filling, was OF lead. Another trick is not
uncommoniy successful The Hall-marked
portion OF an eiehteen-carat ring is cut
away and filled into an inferior ring.
OF course. the pawnbroker can easily
test the quality of the gold If he suspects
anything shady. The test. or assay, is
usually done as follows: The article to
be tested is rubbed on a piece OF wedge
wood stone until there is a little gold
streak. The jeweler or pawnbroker has
a star with several points OF gold, which
are known in the trade as gold testins
points"
II the article is declared to be eighteen
carat, the points marked sixteen and four
teen are similarly rubbed on each side o.
the first rubbing. A glass needle dipped
in nitric acid is then applied to each
rubbing. and IL the unknown metal on
the stone is affected more quickly than
that known TO be sixteen-carat and four
teen-carat gold, then lower grades are
tried until the true STANDARD is ascer-
tanned.
The acid does not affect pure gold. but
quickly affects the baser metals used as
alloys, and TIE experienced eye can easily.

DENTISTRY AS FIELD
FOR WOMEN INVITING
Those Who Have Studied Subject Say
Profession Holds Great OPP
portunity for Sex.

Young women of the world are not TAX
ing up the practice of dentistry near as
fast as they should, according TO the view
of those who have made a special study
of the subject The demand from pri-
vate practices and dental clinics for
children Is constantly growing and is not
being met by any means. The dental
schools and hospitals at home and abroad
are offering every inducement possible TO
the female students, and the response
has been most discouraging. At the Ma
tional Dental Hospital in London the
average attendance of young women is
between two and three. and most of
these come from abroad.
In the United States the same back
ward tendency is noticed without any
apparent reason. The profession Is one
that should appeal to the young woman
who must brave the world to make a
living.

not a greater number OF women entering

Scarfs, Long Popular Wraps,
Used in Many Unique WAYS

Scarfs have long been regarded as the
most sensible and becoming form of
headwrap for evening wear. If made of
crepe de chine or some kind of silk mix
ture, they provide just the necessary
amount of warmth combined with ele-
gance and lightness-possibly it is this
last quality that has served to endear
the sclrfs so fondly to the heart Of
women.
AS head wrap. the scarf, in its origi-
nal form. has one drawback, and with
the present style of hairdressing the
fault is even more marked than for
merly. When laid over the hair a scarf
lacks snugness at the nape of the neck.
If drawn tightly it is apt to spoil the
couture, and is only comfortable when
the head is kept at the angle of "eyes
front" ..-...-.
One woman has thought out Plan by
which these difficulties may be overcome
By passing the scarf through two elastic
bands at the back of fancy ring the
fulIness can be regulated and the scarf
made to form a hood which, while fitting
to the shape of the head, cannot possibly
injure the most deliberately dressed hair.
1t also allows you to turn your head in
any direction without discomfort.
The rings can be attached TO or re-
moved from the scarf in. a moment, other
rings or scarfs being put in at a
minutes notice.
To make ring or holder like the one
described, cut two circles of tailors

in diameter, and with center opening
of one and a half inches. Stitch the
pieces of canvas together and cover one

INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT SOME ANIMALS

Animals do not depend upon their eye
sight in the same way as human beings.
Cats and dogs could get along very well
without eyes. \ cat can find her way
with Ihe aid of her whiskers. These are
the same width as her body and connect
ed with nerves which cause her to feel
the slightest touch.
Dogs can he entirely guided by their
sense of smell. Blind dogs have been
known to scent and find their way to the
most inacCessI places. Their hearing
is also preternaturally sharp.
Rats can see very little, and depend
chiefly upon their noses. muscles, touch.
and hearing. In the case of most ami
mails the senses OF smell and touch are
more highly developed than that of sight,
and they do not require TO depend upon
their sight nearly as much as do human
beings in regard TO safety.
