Absolute Test for Diamond,

One of the oldest tests for q dia-
mond is, of course, the practice Of
drawing it over sheet of glass. The
popular idea that paste article will
not make any mark is said to be iI-
correct. Well-made imitation diamonds
commonly scratch glass, but Go not cut
it. A real diamond drawn quite lightly
over the surface cuts the glass so COM
pletely that the slightest blow will
cause a separation.
Another old test is that in which
file is employed. In the case of a
real stone dealers say that it is I'M
possible to make any impression with
the implement, while an imitation ar
ticle is easily marked.

SAN GIOVANNI TAKEN
 BY ITALIAN FORCES
They Have Crossed TimavO Riv- CT Near Gulf of Trieste-Aus- trian Fortified Trenches on CarsO Plateau Captured.

Rome, May 28, (via London. )-The Italians have crossed the Timavo river and occupied the village of San Giovanni, northwest of Duino, near the Gulf of Trieste, the war office an- nounces. They have captured nine six-inch guns.
 "On the Julian front, although ham, pered by weather conditions" reads the official statement, "our troops ex- tended their positions yesterday and strengthened those previously cap- tured
 "On the Carso, after effective ar tillery preparation, further strongly fortified trenches east and southeast of Jamiano were taken from the enemy.
 ''The Timavo river was crossed and the village of San Giovanni, northwest of Duino, was occupied. Our troops captured nine 149-millimeter guns of recent pattern and in excellent con- dition.
 "In the Gorizia area last night two successive violent attacks against our positions in the Vodice sector and on the heights east of the city were re- pulsed.
 Hast night the enemy shelled with great violence our positions on Hill 126, south of Grazigna. Strong par ties of infantry then attacked and succeeded in penetrating a point in our line. Our prompt counter-attack drove them out completely and 1856 prisoners, including three officers, re- mained in our hands.
 Enemy aircraft bombarded locali- ties on the lower Isonzo, causing a few casualties. Another raid was made upon Chiusaforte without caus- ing damage"

ALL RUSSIAN PARTIES
 APPEAL TO ARMY
Must Fight Germany or Lose the Liberty Gained-Aband- Onment of Warfare Would be Treachery, Says BrussilOff.

Petrograd, May 27, (via London, May 28.)-Virtually all the divergent political factions, all class organiza- tions, councils and even the Socialist leaders, with the exception of the ex- treme lefters, today re-echo the ap- peal of Minister of War Kerensky to the troops and applaud the new order of the day, Advance" It re- mains to be seen how the army itself will receive this final exhortation of patriotism and the defense of Rus sia's newly won freedom.
 Constant efforts have been made during the past two months by repre- sentatives, not only of the govern ment, but of the soldiers, to bring to the army that the abandonment of active warfare would not only mean troachery to the allies, but the in- evitable loss of all that had been gained in the revolution.
 It is confidently believed that this call, supported as it is by almost every element of society, will move the army to a realization of the situa- tion. All the commanders have added their appeals to the order of Minister Kerensky. They all emphasize the necessity of not only defending the country against the enemy, but of an immediate advance to relieve the pressure upon the allies which Ger many has been able to exert by trans ferring the bulk of her troops from the eastern to the western front Gen. Alexieff says tersely:
 Forward! Advance to attack the enemy"
 Gen. Brussiloff says:
 'It is necessary to conserve and consolidate freedom. The soldiers must overthrow and defeat the enemy Shame and dishonor to those who have a weak spirit"

Bootleggers are taking some mighty long chances to make some quick money. The authorities are especially active in running them down, and great many arrests are being made. The sheriff, the constable and the chief of police are arresting them, and there are now a large number of cases pending on the court dockets.
 But more contraband booze than booze-sellers is being captured and confiscated. Unless actually caught with the goods, however, no one yet has been bold enough to claim any lot of liquor after it has been captured. The office of the chief of police is stored high with trunks, and barrels and grips packed full of liquor There are hundreds of gallons. In one haul. four big black theatrical trunks were captured containing II gallons each in quart bottles. Contrary to the belief that prevails as to the charac- ter of the contraband liquor, much of the captured whiskey and wine is said by experts to be high-priced quality. However, one trick of the bootlegger was discovered last week when large shipment of higher priced whis- key, according to the labels, was found to have been cleverly substitut- ed The original goods had been with drawn by means of removing a plug from the bottom of the bottle, and then re-flling it with cheap stuff, and fusing the plug back so that it could scarcely be recognized as having been tempered with.
 Many subterfuges are adopted to evade the authorities One man, ar rested last week for his third of fense, had large quantity of it buried in the sand on the river bank Another was carrying a basket of fish, but when a suspicious policeman investigated, he found that there was only a layer of fish above a basket of quart bottles of booze. One of the cleverest stunts was the cask of whis- key concealed in a barrel of butter. When the barrel was opened, there was a layer of fine yellow butter on top. But it was only few inches thick. and underneath was the barrel of liquor.
 Every heavy grip or suitcase that comes into the railroad station is

under suspicion. A woman was ar rested the other day with a suit case full of whiskey she was attempting to smuggle in from Louisiana, be- cause man had offered a good price for the job.
 No non-leakable suit case or trunk has yet been put on the market for use in bone dry states, and the old kind has gotten many into trouble. It is believed that large quantities of contraband whiskey and wine are be- ing shipped into the state, but the officers of the law are determined to break up the illicit traffic There is no property right in intoxicating liquor, and all of it will be destroyed. Bootleggers get fancy prices for it, and hence the lure of the unlawful business.

STATE iNDEBTEDNESS
 WILL INCREASE
Paid S96,000 Session Legislature Secretary of State Terral is Raising "Spuds" "-BoOtleggers Taking Long Chances.
By Clio Harper.

Little Rock, May 29.-June l will see the outstanding indebtedness of the state considerably increased over what it was year ago. Last Satur- day the books of the state auditor showed the unredeemed warrants out standing amounted to $533, ,031.31, as compared with a total of S510,S63 .59 for the corresponding period of 1916. This year, however, the state paid for a session of the legislature, $96,0O0, which it did not have last year. Un- less the $750,00O note issue is put through, it is evident that the state is not very rapidly meeting it's obli- gations, and must necessarily be- come more deeply involved. Former Gov. Hayes believes the note issue is contrary to law, and is contesting it in the courts, the case now pending in the supreme court.

King George, President Wilson and Gov. Brough "have nothing on" our own Tom Terral, secretary of state. The holder of the chief diplomatic portfolio in the state cabinet is an enthusiastic gardener. The doctrine of agricultural preparedness and con- servation has made deep impression upon him. The other day Tom was seen busily engaged on large vacant area a few blocks from the state house, felling trees, digging up the soil and preparing to plant potatoes. He was using an aX and spade like a veteran, there were honest blisters on his hands, and the sweat of honest toif on his countenance, and he invit- ed all who accosted him to come to his house next fall and eat Irish potatoes for dessert. Which recalls the fact that potatoes are not as regular an article of diet as they used to be on Little Rock tables, and there have been actual cases of a thrifty house. wife serving the $4 a bushel vegetable as a dessert.
