Is it Possible to Legislate
Life and Brains?

Swift & Company is

Packing Plants, their

symbols of the intelli-

of the men who compose
the organization and of
those who direct it.
Will not Government direc-

and sacrifice the initiative, ex-

Amethyst Once Hiohly Priced.

On account Of it's fine color, play OF
light and capacity for polish, the anne
thyst once held a high rank as a deco
rative stone. perhaps next to the sap
phire, but by reason of the discovery
of large quantities in Brazil its popu.
larity declined in. Europe and conse.
quently its commercial value declined
in corresponding ratio.
OF all the quartz varieties the anne
thyst has been the most highly val
ued, and the most frequently used for
the art Of engraving. The deep shades
are less brilliant and for this reason
the artists Of antiquity preferred the
lighter shades. Consequently the III
cient intagli occur almost invariably
on the light-cOlored specimens so that
engravings on the dark shade may be
suspected as modern.
But some of the specimens Gf
Egyptian, EtIuscan and Roman en
craving or amethysts are extant
among which may be mentioned the
gem bearing the likeness of the En-
peror Trajan, captured by Napoleon
when he conquered Prussia in 1906; q
bust of Antonio, daughter Of MARI
Antony; the head Of a Syrian king
which is or was in the PulSky cOllec'

Will Preserve Historic Spots.

The western front is to retain some
OF Its battlefields, at least, as war
memorials. The decision Of the French
government TO preserve in their pres
enk condition selected sites, and to pro-
hibit any alteration will be welcomed
by many who feared that the diSfgur-
ing and mercenary hands Of the cafe
proprietors, the souvenir sellers, the
restaurants and the hotel keepers
would obliterate historic spots in their
efforts to provide attractions for the
coming thrOngS of tourists. Among the
places already decided upon are the
forts at Verdun, the trenches of Sois-

quet farm, the ruins of Bapaume, and
the mangled remains Of PoZieres.
