Further Recommendations.

The resolution further recommends that
the federal and District governments urge
employees to join the guard, with no ad-
verse rating of standing and pay, and
that by appropriate legislation applicants
who are or have been guard members
shall be given preference in the civil serv-
ice. The Secretary of War is requested
to see to it that the District guard be not
all called out at one time, so that no
employer may thereby lose the services
of all of his guardsmen employees.

Also Recommends That Federal and
District Governments Urge En-

y resolution strongly favoring closer
cooperation between the business men
of the District and the National Guard

mitted TO the board of directors of the
Chamber of Commerce at its meeting
last evening by special committee
consisting of James F. oyster, John F.
Slaven and A Leftwich Sinclair. This
special committee was appointed to
draft the measure. following the
speech of Representative Julius Kahn
of California before the executive com
mittee at its meeting last week. in
which he strongly urged faclitation of
national guardmens duties by the
employers of Washington. The reso-
luton was not acted upon at last

of certain of its clauses. but was re-
ferred back to the special committee
for some notifications. 1t will be
brought before the regular meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce next Tues
day night. and it is hoped that it will
then be adopted.

Solo by Mrs. Gawler.

Mrs. Gawler was particularly acceptable
in her solo. Hear Ye. Israel" her voice
ringing clear and true throughout, and
expressing abundantly the joyousness of
the allegro movement of the aria, Il Am
He That Comforteth. Be Not Afraid" In
the duet with Mr.. Tittmann, What Have
To Do With Thee. Q Man of God?' she
seemed to enter intimately into the spirit
of the music. Mr.. Backing was equally
satisfying in his several solos. His in
depreciation of IF With All Your Hearts
was marked by deep fervor and tender
ness. and was one of the gems of the
evening.
The chorus work was pronounced in the
main really fine. the parts being well bal
anced. and the quality of tone on the
soprano side notably better than last sea-
son. Especially in the numbers "Baal.
We Cry To Thee" Thanks Be To Cod
and BE Not Afraid were the cliInaxes
well developed. Harvey Murray furnish
ed excellent support at the organ. beside
playing the prelude. ''Andante." from
Quartet: THE March of the Priests y
from "Athalia.' and the postlude, choral

Mr.. Tittmann, in the part of Elijah,
was given warmest commendation. He
is considered essentially an oratorio
singer, his voice rich and resonant and
his delivery of the recitations and arias
dlgnlf1ed, authoritative or pathetic as the
text required. The devotional spirit of
the aria, Lord God of Abraham and
the pathos and f1nality of his interpreta-

In the Nursery.

1t does not mean that woman can
not take charge Of her own children's
bringing-up simply because she puts
them in nursery. She can take
charge CT them as we'll in nursery as
out of one. If they are in charge OF
a governess, however, she should be
a woman who can be thoroughly trust
ed. In these days of mothers help
ers the young woman who fills that po
sition would have the supervision OF
the nursery in house where she was
employed. and she SHOULD be chosen
with the greatest care. For the whole
value of the nursery idea is that the
children who are brought up in a
nursery lead a quieter. more untraus
meled life than they do when theV
live out Of the nurseiy.--ExchSnge.

A new field for usefulness for the
cape has been developed since the au-

paraphernalia of life. 1t is the extra
garment to be taken along and to be
relied upon to meet weather changes.
1t and the extra veil might be included
in the long list of accessories which
go with the machine. For the cape

lily affair as the old-time shawl. In time
the owner becomes attached to a cape,

MAKES GEMS MORE BRILLIANT
Been Shown to Give as Much
Light as Candle.

The jewelers. of ancient Egypt knew
more than modern craftsmen about
treating gems SO that they would
shine and sparkle, according to the
Independent. Such gems as the emer-
ald garnet and jacinth were livelier
and more luminous in the days of the
Ptolemies than they can be made to-
day. 1t is known that the diamond,
ruby, emerald and kunzite become
phosphorescent or 1uorescent under
certain circumstances.
Gems exhibit the liveliest phospho-
rescence in vacuum tubes. Even in
rarefied air some diamonds give out
blue light which is not present in a
denser atmosphere. In a vacuum
diamond of four or five carats gives
as much light as a candle. The color
of the light differs not only with the
origin of the diamond, but with the
facets Of the same diamond. Maske-
lyme made collection of diamonds
which glowed in q vaciMm with near

ly all the colors of the spectrum. An
uncut stone which was roughly cube
shape, with truncated corners and
edges, emitted orange yellow light
from the corners and lemon yellow
from the fat edges.
Next to the diamond stands the
ruby as highly phosphorescent in a
vacuum. The ruby emits a beautiful
red light, as though it were incandes-
cent. Kunzite shines with golden
yellow or yellow tinged with roee.
The emerald shines with a crimson
light. The same gems become phos-
phorescent under the influence of radi-
um. The ultraviolet rays also pro-
duce luminosity in gems.
1t is well known that rubies from
the mines of Burma are more valuable
than those from neighboring Siam.
Externally they look much alike, but
under the ultraviolet rays Burmese
stones, which are called oriental
rubies, glow like red embers, while
the Siamese rubies look almost black.

CHAPTER Xl.

Higgins, erratic, demagogic, otter
vicious tempered, was, when once his
championship had been enlisted, an en-
thusiastic advocate. AS he himself had
said, his heart was Gin the right place,
and that morning, as he went through
the plant explaining that the young
aew. owner had decided not to sell out
to the trust, but would stand by Jones'
vile, Jones' Pepsin gum and those res
ident in one and employed in manufac-
ture of the other, Broadway lost none
of merit through his defamation.
In that heart in the right place Hig-
gins had admired the way the smallish
city man had stood up to his five feet
ten of Drawn and threatened to throw
him out of the building, discharge him
from the plant, and drive him from the
town if he did not cease threatening
woman. He was sorry he had lost his
temper while with Josie.
He had rushed through the great,
rambling buildings of the old-fashioned
mandatory at high speed and high
enthusiasm. His manner had been
such that his mere appearance had
been signal for the stoppage of the
wheels of industry and the gathering
of eager groups about him to listen to
the news which one could not doubt he
bore, and when the nature Of that
news became known generally, the
much-relieved workmen, the working.
women, and even the basket girls and
bundle-boys throughout the plant, be.
came instantly demonstrative of great
joy.
The first cheer, that which had
mercifully, interrupted Clara's inqui.
sition of Broadway on the subject OF
his friend, was followed by another
and another as the news spread. A
gradual cessation of the grinding roar
which was apparent, even in the office
building, when the plant was operat
ing, showed that here and there
and everywhere machines were being
stopped by those who wished to leave
them so that they might hear the
news.
The office-building group stood spell
bound, listening. None: knew what had
occurred. They might have been
alarmed had the uproar been less I'M
mistakably enthusiastic.
What is it," Mrs. Spotswood asked
excitedly.
Il don't know" was Josie'!s answer.
Clara certainly knew nothing of the
nature Of what might be happening,
and none was further than Broadway
from a guess that what he had told

very freely mingled with the news Of

guarded foolishness has made them.
But Broadway told no details of his
villainies. This was not Arilliance on
his part; it was sheer luck.
If she was definitely disappointed
her distress was more or less allevi-
ated the next moment, for he burst
forth somewhat wildly: F.,

He could not complete the sentence
1t was as If his tongue had found an
insurmountable obstruction in the
groove of language which it had begun
to follow and had to leap out to a side
groove. An expression Of disgust
grew on his face. He hesitated, flushed,
