JAILED IN FRANCE FOR
 CLEVER JOBB|NG

PARIS.-How an American white pearl worth S14,400 was treated with a chemical, given !er' porarily the rosy hue of an 0ricn.al pearl and then sold for S52.001 has been disclosed here. For doing :his, Bar booza, pearl broker. and \arma. a Hindoo. were fined and sentenced to imprisonment for faking By use of chemicals they endeavored to in- crease the value of the pearls four fold.
 This r;.sa clears up the mystery which has existed in the Paris mar ket for five years, since a dealer in precious stones first learned that manipulated pearls were being sold here
 Varma, who is lapidary claimed in court that he possessed a method of improving American pearls and that he had been promised a share in all the profits derived in treating the one which led to his detection, if it were sold for more than $21,- 500. He was at work at it when it was seized by the police. The evidence showed that Varma has used on the pearl acetate of amyl and col lodion.
 A pearl expert, Reinach. told the judge that Varma had given the pearl the rosy tint of the Oriental pearl by glazing it with chemicals but that the glazing disappeared when the pearl was placed in alcohol. Varma was sentenced to six months in prison and to pay a fine of S1,000, while Barboza was sentenced for three months and to pay fine of 100. In its judgment the court stated that sea pearls from the Orient are very luminous and at tain high prices, while fresh water pearls, called American, are less fine, generally white and of lower value. The pearl treated by Varma, the court added, has been offered to leading Paris and American jewel houses which had failed to detect the deception he had practiced. The court declared that Varmas treat ment added no value to the pearl and that it had only temporary effect which disappeared if the pearl were rubbed or placed in alcohol.

WAR IS GIVING
 WOMEN OPENING
 ON COAST WORK

ANCHORAGE.-War, with its consequent effect of drawing young men to the colors, is resulting in the rapid increase in the number of women employees in the officer of the Government railroad. And with the constant addition of feminine workers, the problem of housing them had to be given consideration by officials of the Alaskan Engin- eering commission.
 Four large two-story buildings, partitioned into rooms for either one or two tenants, have been in use for bachelor quarters for men ever since the Commission began the con- struction of the Government rail- road. Until very recently, no hous- ing provision was necessary for women employees because there were only a few of them and practically all of these lived at home with rela- tives. Of late, however. so many women, who have been engaged as clerks or stenographers to take the places of men in the offices of the Commission. either have come from the States or have experienced the breaking up of their homes here because their men folks joined the army that the question of suitable quarters for women workers de- manded an answe~
 Accordingly, the Commission has just turned over to women employees the large dwelling house formerly occupied by Colonel Frederick Mears, who was a member of the Commis- sion for the Anchorage division and who is now in France in command of the Thirty-first Regiment of En- gineers, United States army.
 Soon after the dwelling was vacated by Colonel Mears last winter it was occupied as bachelor quarters by a number of young men em- ployed by the Commission. With one or two exceptions, all of these either have gone or are going to the war.
 The young women who have now taken the dwelling are chaperoned by Mrs. C. G. Jones, whose husband is a captain with the Thirty-First engineers. Captain Jones, before he joined the army, was roadmaster on the Government railway. He was known from one end of the line to other as Hurry Up" Jones.

that interest on cup of hot coffee

years ago amounts to just $4,000. At
the time she gave the tramp the cup

The tramp's name was Marshall Nc

tramp, died at Swanville short time
ago. The will by which he left his en-
tire holdings to the woman who had
befriended him was contested by his
half-brothers and sisters, but the In

five years before. 1t read:

RINGLING. Okla. - Every little
while a whole town moves its loca-
ton In Oklahoma. Industrial condi-
lions, the developing Of new regions,
the advance of the railroads to places
where there were untamed cattle and
horses before have instilled the NOV
ing-day spirit. A man from the little
and practically unknown village Of
Staunton said the other day:
"Well, we had a meetin' the other
night and 1t ware the consensus Of
opinion that Staunton ought to move.
She'll never do any good where she is
at. We can't expect any railroads and
it looks like they amt an oil well in
ten miles of us. One of these days all
that Is to be seen of Staunton will be
seen no more"
: Just the day before this meeting the
inhabitants of Stanton heard that the
postofice at the neighboring village
Of Healdton had been moved to John
Ringling's new town named New
Healdton. Staunton is in the woods,
far from where the train toots, and for
twenty years they have had no ambi-
ton to establish thriving metropolis.
But Healdton moved, and seemed to
better itself. Cornish, once an out
post of civilization when Indians were
bad and cowboys little better, also
moved, and so did Hewitt, for many
years a prosperous country village in
the Bayou country of Carter county.
Nearly all the neighbors Of Staunton
moved and the indications are that a
majority of those who moved pros
pered. At any rate they became citi-
Gems of railroad towns where there
were new blood and new energy and
new ambition.
There was a Walters down on Bea-
yer Creek. The railroad built new
Walters upon the hill. A fight be-
tween the towns ensued, grew bitter
and more bitter. At last compro-
mise was effected and the railroad
won. There was a Bottsford in the
new country. The railroad built q
now town near 1t and called 1t Temple
and old Bottsford was abandoned.
There are many more instances. Ev-
cry time the Rock Island built a new
line into that country 1t trespassed
upon the aspirations of the people of
prosperous country villages that had
to be abandoned.

One Year of Food Administration

consumption about zoo, 600, 900 bushels
Of wheat which we were able to ex.
port that year without trenching on
our home loaf. This last year, how
ever. owing to the large failure of the
1917 wheat crop, We had available
from net carry-over and production
and imports. only just about our nor
NAL consumption. Therefore our
wheat shipments to Allied destina-
tons represent approximately saw.
tngs from our own wheat bread.
These figures. however, do not fully,
convey the volume Of the effort and)
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort of our
agricultural population in planting a
much increased acreage In 1917, not
only was there very large failure In
wheat but also, the corn failed to
mature properly and our corn is our
dominant crop. We calculate that
the total nutritional production of the
country for the fiscal year just closed
was between z per cent and 9 per
cent below the average OF the three
previous years. our nutritional surplus
for export in those years being about
the same amount as the shrinkage
last year. Therefore the consumption
and waste In food have been greatly
reduced In every direction during the
year.
l am sure that all the millions of
our people, agricultural as we'll as
urban, who have contributed TO these
results should feel a very definite sat.
isfaction that In a year of universal
food shortages In the northern hemi.
sphere all Of those people joined to-
gether against Germany have come
through into sight of the coming har.
vest not only with health and strength
fully maintained, but with only tenn
porary periods of hardships. The
European Allies have been compelled
to sacrifice more than our own people
but We have not failed to load every
steamer since the delays Of the storm
months last winter. Our contribu-
lions to this end could not have been
accomplished without effort and sacri-
fee and 1t Is a matter for further sat.
isfaction that 1t has been accomplfshS
ed voluntarily and individually. 1t IS
difficult to distinguish between vari-
Gus sections of our people the
homes, public eating places, food
trades, urban or agricultural popula-
tions-in assessing credit for these
results but no one will deny the do
minant part of the America women.

LARGE RESERVE IS NEEDED

New York, Aug. 1.-THE federal
food board made public Thursday
night the text of joint resolution
adopted by the food controllers Of
the United States, France, Italy and

abroad from Federal Administrator
Hoover with the request that it be
given wide publicity" The text fol.
lows:
Resolved, That while the increased
production OF the United States rend-
ers 1t possible to relax some OF the
restrictions which have borne with
peculiar hardship on all people it is
absolutely necessary that rigid econo-
my and elimination of waste in the
consumption and in the handling o.
foodstuffs as well as increased pro-
duction should be maintained through.
out the European allied countries and
North America.
But II Is only by conservation and
elimination OF waste that the trans
portation of food supplies from North
America to the European front can
be accomplished and that stocks of
foodstuffs can be built up in North
America as an insurance against the
ever present danger of harvest fail
ure and the possible necessity for
large and emergency drafts to Europe.
We cannot judge the food problem
on the basis of one years war. We
must be prepared for its continuance

America Deeper In This War
Than Any Other Nation
BY Presiden. Ray Lyman Wilbur,
Of Stanford University.

We must realize that we are
deeper in this war than any other
nation, for we have said, through
our President, that our peace is to
be with the German people, not
with the Hohenzollern. We have
then the problem of providing the
additional offensive strength need
ed to defeat the greatest war lord
in history with millions OF trained
veterans under his control. To do
this. we must see the issues clear
ly and back up those at the front
by our actions each hour OF each
day. The morale of the fighting
armies will settle this war. We
must see that the morale Of our
men and that Of those who fight
with us is kept at high tide. We
can do so IL they can feel our sup
port all OF the time.
Now is the great opportunity Of
the American people to demon
strate that our form OF govern
ment Is a success. II we do not
all Of us, at once, voluntarily and
willingly get behind those who
fight and die for us. in every phase
OF our life, and now particularly
realize that food is powder to win
the war, then We are going to fail
In this. our immediate pressing
duty, and be despised and hum
Hated nation. We must be a great
united democracy fighting our way
forward toward final victory.
There can be but one outcome of
this war and we must steel our
selves for any misfortune, for any
reverse. with our minds united and
fixed upon the idea of a final vic.
tory.

Bread and milk make a meal; so

Bread and gravy go together;

Toast and fruit are fine for

There is one test. Wherever
bread is used for convenience, that
Is the place to leave II out.

Meat Exports

Meat Exports
Our slaughterable animals at the
beginning Of the last fiscal year were
not appreciably larger than the year
before and particularly In hogs; they
were probably less. The increase in
shipments Is due to conservation and
the extra weight of animals added by
our farmers. The full effect of these
efforts began to bear their best re-
suits In the last half Of the fiscal year
when the exports to the Allies were
2,133, 100000 pounds, as against l.
