Carl H. Fast, well known advertis.
ing expert, thus defended Henry
Ford's action in distributing ten mil

speech before the Cleveland Advertis

We'll meaning business men argue

yet these same men would not raise
la murmur of protest if Ford said to
his son or other relative: I'm getting

this plant If you work hard I'll give
Iyou half the receipts
Because Ford's employees are not

is all wrong. his critics say. When

Philip Pelgen, a we'll known old and
former resident OF Keokuk. died yes
terday at the residence of his daugh-
ter Mrs. Casper Geisen at Hamilton.
Ill
Mr.. Pelgan was born in Batavia,
Germany. Feb. 2. 1927. aud came to
keokuk in the SOS, continuing to re-
side here until about ten years ago
when he went to Hamilton to reside
with his daughter, Mrs. Geisen.
He did not suffer from any pro-
tracted illness, but his death was
caused from the weight Of his more
than four score years and the gra6Mal
wearing away of his vitality. He pass
ed away quietly and peacefully as
his life was characterized. He Is well
remembered, especially by the older
residents, among whom he was a
familiar figure. He was man of re-
firing habits but was cordial and
companionable with his intimate ac-
quaintances.

mems. and thirty of these are strung
into a necklace that Is unrivaled In
the United States. The pearls IN
this necklace weigh about one thous-
and four hundred grains. the largest
learl weighing one hundred and sew
enty-tiye grains and another seventy.
The rope itself, which is veritable
work of art. Is nine feet long and the
pearls are perfectly matched. In ad-
dition. Mrs. Mackay has probably the
finest emeraids in America One par
ticular stone is set in pendant OF
diamonds. and it measures nearly an
sGch across. In shape it is nearly
square, uncut and very deep in color.
According to New York gossip. Mrs.
Frederick Pearson is likewise reputed
10 own what is probably the finest
pearl necklace in America Her faith
er, the late j. C. Aver. financed the
Zeal. and it IS said that it took years
to get the collection together. Incl
dentally, while it is estimated that it
cost over a million dollars TO secure
this string, it is further figured that
these pearls have increased in value
and are worth much more today than
at the date of purchase.
People who read history and point
out that we of today have no owners
of jewels such as Cleopatra had. do
not know ali the facts. Cleopatra. it
will be remembered, dissolved and
swallowed her jewels to carry out a
wager with Marc Anthony Historians
say that the jewels were worth nearly
to and a half million dollars 1t is
also said that julius Caesar gave
Servilia, the mother of Brutus. pearl
worth quarter of a million dollars.
Coming back to the present and
nowadays reality, it may truthfully
be asserted that the equal Of many of
Cleopatra's finest gems are to be
found in the strong boxes of the So
ciety leaders of the new world.
The emeralds of Mrs. Robert Goelet,
fer example. are distinguished for
their size and quality. as are those of
Mrs. William Douglas Sloane, who
also possesses marvellous emerald
necklace and a tiara OF diamonds and
emeralds.
Again is Cleopatras jewel box equal
ed by the $4,000 pair of black pearl
errings owned by Mrs. John W. Mac
kay. Mrs. Potter Palmer's pair o.
solitaire pearl earrings, held at $780,
600, deserves equal mention.
From the dollar and cents worth of
GEMS, possessed by American women,
one can drop or ascend to another
standard of measurement-the his
toric valuation and there find some
af the jewels that are practically be-
yond price.
In this category may be classed the
"Sanci" diamond. believed to have
leen worn by Charles the Bold, and
now owned by Mrs. Waldorf Aston.
Dollar marks around this gem mean
nothing, for its history is what counts.
II has been worn by Queen Elizabeth,
the Earl of Worcester. James II, and
hy Louis XIv,-incidentally, Louis
XIV paid s125.00o for it, but that is
not Judgment Of it's value now.
All together there are over FIVE
hundred million dollars worth of prec-
ious stones in this country today, and
more are steadily pouring in through
the custom houses.

American Women and Their Jewels

Display PeartsA Nine-Foo Pearl
Neckace-llsorc Owned in This Country

4 one-third of the known diamonds
of the world. together with countless
pearls, sapphires, rubies and other
gems OF the finest quality, have found
their way across seas from the four
corners of the earth to enhance and
add to the natural beauty of American
women. In New York. Chicago, Phila-
delphia; in Washington, Baltimore,
Boston, and In many other cities,
there are numerous women of social
standing and immense wealth who
possess iewelry of regal splendor and
marvellous worth.
American dollars have bought them
they have even looked upon the
gems of royalty with jealous eyes, and,
in one instance, it is recorded that the
magnet of money enabled an Ameri-
can girl to outshine queen. 1t was
on the occasion when Alexandra of
England, on visit to the Duchess of
Marlborough. said Put on all your
pearls. for shall wear mine, and
after dinner we will count up and see
who has the most" 1t is needless to
say that her youthful grace complied
with the royal command, Yet 1t is
quite worth noting that the daughter
of Vanderbilt outrivaIed queen of
England and empress of India in all
the glory of her wonderful gems.

possesses several of the most ex-
qnisite pearls and emeralds in exist
ence. Among her other pieces is the
famous string which was once the
priced possession of the Inflated Marie
Antoinette. Each pearl of this his
toric necklace is worth $4,000, and
there are hundreds of them. the string
reaching from her neck to waist twice
round
Another American, the Duchess OF
Roxburgh. formerly Miss May Goelet,
owns wonderful collection of tur-
quoises, which is equaled only by that
of Russian royal princess.
On this side of the water there are
wives Of kings who are equally noted
for their jewels For example, Mrs.
". B. Leeds, II. consort of the tin
plate king, owns an extraordinarily
beautiful necklace of pearls. 1t was
bought in Paris, at cost of s360,o0o
added to which is the item of duty
paid the Z. S. treasury department
amounting to s11o.335. Then there is
Mrs Samuel Newhouse, wife of the
copper king, who is noted for her col
lection of rubies, diamonds and black
pearls.
In fact, the list of wealthy Ameri,
can women who have collections
which may well take their places be-
side the most famed of the ages is
most interesting. This includes all
the feminine factors of the Vanderbilt
family; Mrs. James Henry Smith, wild
ow of Silent Smith," Mrs. Jules s.
Baehe, Mrs. cambridge Spotswood,
Mrs. Adair, Mrs. Henry Siegel, Miss
Guilia Morosini and many more. Each
collection has it's own particular
feature that makes it OF uncommon
value, and, in almost every instance,
the value amounts well into the six
figures.
Mrs Clarence Mackay, of New York,
is reported to have the largest collec-
ton of pearls of any living woman. In
all, she has four thousand rare specl-
