the uses and misuses of jewelry:
 "Jewelry, even in these war times will be worn more than ever. Women naturally love jewels, just as they do flowers, and with quite as good req son. They are not only beautiful but they give beauty.
 But, oh, what a difference when any of these bits of jewelry are mis- placed!
 Think of the taste of the young business woman who wears the fam lily heirlooms to the office-the cameo brooch, the antique bracelet, for in- stance. Think of the jeweled watch that dangles on the front of an in- expensive shirtwaist. Think of the marquise rings on unmanicured fn- gers and the diamonds in slovenly ears.
 Think of a profusion of rings where one ring would do much better.

FALL BREAKING
Weekly Letter cf Jchn H. Page, Com missioner Mines, Manufactures,
 and Agriculture.

One of the most beneficial and yet one of the least practised steps, in the permanent upbuilding of our soil. is that of fall breaking and turning under of all weeds, stalks, stubble and grass on the land after the crops have been gathered. All such vege- tation will permanently improve the soil by providing humus, which is one of those clements necessary for soil building. to say nothing of the fer tilizing value of the routed stalks, etc. More fertilizer can be applied in this way than the average man puts on his soil in the spring in the way of commercial fertilizer.
 Corn stalks are usually burned be- fore planting in the spring, and yet the corn stalks, if chopped and turned under in the fall, would be worth more to the coming crop than three-hun- dred- pound application of fertilizer of the kind generally used. Break the land about an inch deeper than it was broken last year.
 Aside from the fertilizing value of fall breaking, it is the best farm prac- tice, because insects and crop pests are exposed to the cold, and their win ter quarters are destroyed, because deep breaking can be protitably prac- tised in the fall, and not in the spring, and because moisture will be stored up for summer use, the land will be in better shape for quick planting, when planting time comes, and because there is more time for such work in the fall than there is when spring work IS crowding, and because the stalks and weeds will be in the way of crop cul- tivation, if not burned or saved for the soil by deep fall breaking.
 Break your land this fall; turn un- der the stalks, stubble, weeds and grass; kill out insect pests; get ready for an early start next spring. On some of the fall-broken land, plant el- ther clover, tch, wheat, rye, oats or alfalfa. All re good.

is the remarkable change which has taken place in the cotton market With crop of 10000,000 to 12.OOO- 900 bales now being picked added to the stock of 4,000,000 or 5.OOO. 900 bales brought over from last year the market is eagerly absorbing the supply at advancing prices-at prices which, indeed would have been con- sidered very profitable only a few years ago before the South was able to sell one or two crops at higher figures than for many years.
 Running over the whole range of agricultural and industrial and rail- road activities, the situation is hope ful in the extreme. While some few industries have not yet benefited bv the change that is taking place. they are very limited in extent as compar- ed in the aggregate with those that are on an altogether different plane of activity as compared with last year. and many of them as compared with any period since 1907."

MEDICAL LICENSURE

The responsibility for the licensing of medical practitioners has been left by the national government to the in Idividual states; it is left to the state to establish he only legal barrier pos lsible beween the public and the thou |sands who seek authority to treat hu- man diseases. Some states have pro- vided an efficient guaranty that prac- |titioners given the states endorsement have secured the essential educational qualifications. In some states, how
 ever, the possibility has been taken
 up in such a happy-go-lucky manner, and the legislation provided is so con-
 that the situation would be Imaginable
 were it not for the serious menace
 to the public. In some states, laws
 have been passed, admirable in their |composition and excellent in their pur-
 pose, only to be invalidated by claus les or by other laws exempting the very
 persons to whom the law should ap- ply. Invariably, the exemptions are of those unable to comply with the educational requirements of the prac-
 tice act and against whom the people most need protection-those who have had little or no medical training. The
 making of such exemptions, either by special clauses in the practice act or by laws providing special boards and lower educational standards, is clearly preventing medical licensure, so that instead of protecting the public against the incompetent, it is provid- ing special privileges for the incom- potent, untrained men and women pa rading as the apostles of some "new and marvellous" form of healing. Leg islators have yet to learn. says The Journal of the American Medical As sociation, that the art of healing is not gained by birth or by inspiration, but by ar igid and prolonged course of training in the fundamentals of med icine. The only way to make medi- cal Hcensure a real protection of the public is to provide one licensing board in each state with ample power to apply one educational standard alike to all practitioners of the heal ing art.

MINING IN THE JUNEAU
 REGION. ALASK A

An examination of mining develop ments in the Juneau region. Alaska, was made last year by Henry M. Ea- kin. of the United States Geological Susvey. whose report has recently been published at Bulletin 622-C. The developments near Jeneau overshad- low in magnitude the operations Tn other parts of the gold belt. though some of these, too, are of importance Gold lode mining in this field already developed on a sale that places Ju- neau district in line with the fore most in the industry, is rapidly as suming still greater proportions. The growth is a natural result of fuller Knowledge of the size and character of the ore bodies and of the economic possibilities of operations on large scale.
 The climatic conditions are favor able to continuous operation. The large size of some of the ore bodies the character of the ores, and the strong topographic relief of the re- zion favor the production of large quantities of ore with a minimum or labor and power. Water power, mar inc transportation, and sufficient TO- cal supply of timber and lumber re duce general expenses to low point The very small cost of operation makes it possible to work prottaoiy low-grade ores that under conditions only slightly different would be value less.
 A copy of the report may be hao free on application to the Director or the Geological Surfey, Washington D. C.

saws that similar assaults further
south, at Gradisca and Monfalcone, also
were repulsed.
The Italian War Office is silent con-
corning the land operations, and only
a few dispatches relating to compare
lively unimportant incidents to-day
passed the Italian censors.
German troops were encountered by
the Italians for the first time in the
fighting at Lavarone, south Of Trent,
according to information received
through Basel. Switzerland. but the re-
suit of the encounter is not reported.
From Verona il Is reported that the

colors at Milan to-day. Each soldier
received a donation of forty cents for
expenses sustained in reaching Milan
and in addition his daily pay OF two
cents. The men came to the city in

WILL NOT ISOLATE
U-BOAT PRISONERS
Britain Hereafter Will Treat All
Germans Alike, BalfOur
Announces.

London, June 9.-Oficial announce
ment was made to-day by Secretary OF
the Admiralty Balfour that German
submarine had been sunk and that SIX
Of her officers and twenty-one members
OF her crew had been captured
Mr.. Balfour announced also that Ger
man submarine prisoners hereafter
will be accorded treatment identical
with all other German prisoners in
England.
Mr.. Balfour failed to state when or
where the German submarine was sunk
In announcing the revision OF the
policy regarding the treatment OF Ger
man submarine prisoners Mr.. Balfour
said:
"While this does not change British
opinion as 20 the character of the acts
in which these persons are concerned,
II must be remembered that submarine
attacks on defenceless vessels are not
the only violations of the laws OF hui
manitv of which the Germans are
guilty. and the government is therefore
of the opinion that the submarine prob
lem cannot now be isolated and that
the general question of responsibility
should be reserved until the end OF the
war"
Mr.. Balfour added that the govern
ment's decision would be communicat-
ed to Germany through the American
Embassy.
The question of the method of treat
ment by Great Britain of German ON
GERS and sailors captured on subma-
rines has caused degree of ill-feellng
in Germany which resulted in retalia-
tory measures on the part of the mill
tary authorities, and the announcement
to-day by Mr.. Balfour probably will
put an end to the situation thus Gre
ated.
Great Britain soon after the begin
ming of the German submarine block
ade held the crews of submarines who
fell into her hands in confinement in
locations apart from other German
prisoners, and il was intimated that
they were to be dealt with with partic-
ular severity after the war. Germany
alleged they were being maltreated,
and certain British prisoners in Ger
many were selected from their fellows
for treatment of equal harshness. The
situation was given much discussion
in the press and elsewhere, and Ger
man opinion was denunciatory.
Representatives of the American
embassies in Berlin and London visited
the prisoners in each country and made
reports on the treatment accorded the
men.
