when abnormal conditions obtain.
The action OF the Board is sure 10 be
met with the indignant protest of an
outraged people.
The whole transaction bears the ear
marks Of jobbery. for which the ia
rored publishing house has been no.
ed. and whose improper methods or
securing contracts have previously
been aired in this State.
1t is with regret that The Intelligent

Board was appointed by Republican
governor, and that the seeming infer
enCe is that it was selected for a pur-
pose. 1t does not hesitate, however,
to condemn the action of the Board
as a scandal and an offense against
the people of the State.

An officer OF the American Jewelers.
Protective association recently had an
Interesting talk with a gem expert of
the United States geological survey. AS
Q result of this talk, according to the
New York Times, a movement is to be
started in the iewelry trade, that will
have for it's object the passing of a
law which will govern the interstate
shipment OF reconstructed. synthetic or
scientific gems,
The principal object of the proposed
measure will beto prohibit the inter-
state shipment of these gems in nd
dillon TO aalnanese culture and other
manufactured pearls except under con-
5ditions analogous to the restrictions of

required, it is contended, for the pro.
