Many members of the big crowd
which assembled In Lewiston last
Thursday to hear a speech on the
war by the Viee-President of this
country are very much at a loss
to know why Lewiston charged
them an admission price for this
privilege, which thex naturally
presumed would be free. Vice
President Marshall is not making
tour Of the country in behalf of
any local Intuition or enterprise,
but to lay before the citizens the
magnitude of this war and en-

EASY TO TELL REAL DIAMOND
There Are Many Ways In Which tho
Finest limitations May Be Detect
ed, Even by the inexperienced.

The experienced eye does not find 1t
difficult to decide whether diamond
Is genuine, for the facets Of real ones
are seldom so regular as those of fine
limitations. With the latter the great
est care is taken in grinding to polish
and smooth the whole stone so that
there will be irregularity In the refcc-
tion or refraction Of the light. A neces-
sary tool for testing Is the file, which
cannot scratch real diamond. al
though 1t quickly leaves Its mark on
an imitation. Better than the file Is the
sapphire, for the sapphire is the next
hardest stone to the diamond. Any
stone that sapphire can scratch Is
assuredly not diamond.
If you put small drop Of water on
the upper facet of a brilliant and touch
1t with the point Of pencil the drop
will, keep Its rounded form, but the
stone will remain clean and dry. In
case Of an imitation the drop immedl.
ately spreads out. Plunge diamond
into water and 1t will be plainly visible
and will glitter through the liquid, but
an imitation stone Is almost invisible.
If you look through diamond, as
through bit Of glass, at black dot
on sheet of white paper you will see
one single point clearly. If you see sew
eral points or a blur Of black it is an
imitation. The white sapphire, the
white topaz and rock crystal are fire.
quently sold as diamonds, but imita-
tions are more commonly made Of
glass.

The American Red Cross Is engaged
In so many humanitarian and phllan-
thropic activities that Its work must of
necessity be departmentlzed and each
department thoroughly organized for
the sake of efficiency. A chapter Of
the Red Cross, in any locality, repre-:
sents all of the Red Cross activities.
Under its supervision different commit
tees are organized for the different
kinds of work to be done, each commit
tee devoted to one particular object or
class Of work. In communities where
no chapter exists Red Cross commit
tees may be formed, by special author
ity Of the director general Of civilian
relief, for special Red Cross activities.
These committees are called auxiliar-
les.
Several auxillaries may be formed In
the same community, to take care of
the several different classes Of work
to be done. Where chapter exists
auxiliarles must be formed with the
consent Of the chapter, and they will
be q part of the chapter and subordi-
nate to 1t.
