ARE LUTHERS NJ AT HISTORICAL OCIET AUTHE

hf. question that has arisen as
TO the authenticity OF the be-
trothal ring of Martin Luther
now on exhibition at the New
York Historical Society will cause
those who may be unable to view this
rim to wish to know what It looks
like. They are likely also to he inter-
es,ed in an account Of the eddin
ring which Luther wore after his mar
riage with Catherine o Bora, or Won
Boren, in l5a5. OF the swo the mar
rage ring is by far the more re-
markab.e.
The doubt as to the ring now shown
in New York arises from the fact that
in 1925. on the Booth anniversary or
Luther's marriage, there was a festival
at Leipsic at which, It is said, faithful
reproductions Of the betrothal ring
were spread broadcast. The Rev.
Macmillan Pinkert, whose wife Is the
owner Of the ring shown here, says
that il can be established By evidence
in Germany that the ring was In the
Anhalt- Brandenburg family, Of which
his wife is a descendant, as far back
as 1917, In that case its authenticity
becomes much more probable, and II Is
likely that the reproductions Of 1925
were made from this ring itself.
What does this betrothal ring look
like? In tho first place 1t Is not Of
gold, but Of silver silt. 1t is set with
a ruby, which in such rings Is the
emblem OF exalted love. The devices
on the ring represent the symbols OF
the Passion Of Christ.
In the centre Is the cruclned Christ.

Christ's side was pierced II the rod

Though intricate in design the ring
has not the elaborate symbolism in It's
construction possessed by the marriage
ring. The best description of the lat
ter il to he found in "Finger-Ring
Lore by William Jones. l.. $. A. Mr.,
Jones got the description from an ar
iicle by IL Noel Humphreys, an au-
'hority, In the IHtelccrudl Observer in
February. 1862.
The marriage ring which Luther
wore after the ceremony, according to
Mr.. Humphreys. is an i~ngeniOusly ON
trived double ring. every intricacy Of
structure having its point and mean
ing. To begin with, the double ring
can be divided so as 10 form two com
plete rings, and Yet these rings can
not be separated from each other. one
passes through the other, causing them
to remain permanently interlaced. This,
Of course. typities the marriage vow
which, in those days al least. meant
that two lives Joined by it could never
be entirely parted afterward.
On one hoop Of the double ring is a
diamond, a stone which on marriage
rings Is the emblem OF power. duration
and fidelity: on the inside OF the raised
mounting OF the stone are the initials
of Martin Luther. followed by a ID
which stands for his title of Doctor
The initials are so placed that when
the two hoops are joined to form a
single band they are concealed.
On the other hoop is a ruby, stand
ing for exalted love, and similarly on
the mounting n may read the initials
of Luther's wife. G. V, b. These toe
are hid when the rings are closed. bul
the most delicate point OF symbolism
lies in this. that with the closing o!
the rings and the concealment of the
initials, these initials are close to-
Sether, united, beneath the emblems
OF power. duration. fidelity and ex'
: allied love.

The MAN WHO Foors THE BILL

Do you realize what high taxes
mean TO THE NAN WITH THE PAY
CHECKs | will try to show you
The butcher buys his meat of the
rancher at &C TO &c pound on hoof.
and lie to l211e when il is dressed
and ready for the block. The rancher
gets no more from the BUTCHER
SHOPS for his meat when the taxes
are &C on the dollar than when they
are &c on the dollar. He has to pay
double taxes on his land and on all
his cattle and sell his meat for the
same price. But the meat company,
when taxes are high. adds the taxes
10 the selling price, as costs of doing
business" Then he figures that his
meat costs him the amount OF the
taxes. too. and RAISES THE PRICE
OF MEAT, and the man with the pay
check foots the bill. So with the
grocer. so with the sailor. and so
with the merchant. and the man with
the pay check is the goat.
II the taxes are raised in Nye
county on the STANDARD Oil Co.,
they simply add the extra taxes as
the cost Of doing business, and raise
the price of gasoline in Tonopah.
They have to or go out OF business.
Not so very long ago. gasoline, which
is selling for about Is cents gallon
in California, was selling in Tonopah
for Zoe gallon, and when the tax
assessor stuck high taxes on all the
gasoline and oil in their Tonopah
warehouse they simply raised the
price of gasoline to 81 cents in
drums. And the man that buys gaso-
line pays the bill. If you could
reduce their tax rate, the price of
gasoline could be reduced, and give
them the same profit they are now
getting. So with groceries. vege
tables. drygoods, and everything.
Thus it is inefficient men in public
office make high taxes and IN
CREASE THE COST OF LIVING by
just that much. The taxes in 1915
amounted to 100000; this year they
