PARIS. May 8 (by the Associated

May rs to June 10. have caused a
universal protest from editors of
newspapers here. They fear the meet
ing may be deferred Indefinitely. Pre-
mier Millerand's visit to London next
week for the purpose of comforting
with Premier Lloyd George as to in

is indicated. as the British premier
is believed to favor the payment Of a

be paid an indeterminate amount.

RUBY IS JULY BIRTHSTONE
Gem Has Been Associated Through the
Centuries With Some Remarkably
Quaint superstitions.

The ruby Is the birthstone Of July.
1t was associated in ancient times with
many queer superstitions. How these
old fancies originated or how they
could have been palmed of on the pub
lie 1t is difficult to imagine. The fact
that the common people had implicit
faith in them proves how very much
more credulous the world once was
than 1t is today.
For instance, the ancients believed
that If a ruby were worn about the
neck 1t conferred the power Of seeing
in the dark. One wonders what monu-
mental faker started this absurd con-
ceit and for what purpose. 1t was gen.
orally believed. however. possibly be-
cause rubies were costly and the COM
mon people could not test the matter
for themselves.
The ruby also was supposed to be
talisman against evil spirits, the
plague and poison. By the deepening
of Its color it forewarned Its wearer
against impending misfortune. II tied
upon the forehead in a linen cloth 1t
was believed to be a specific for dis
ease of the eye.-Brooklyn Eagle.

KILL OUT PERENNIAL WEEDS
ouaek Grass and Canada Thistle Are
Most Troublesome and Offer
Greatest Resistance.

Perennial weeds offer the greatest
resistance and require more thorough
and persistent effort to destroy them.
Two Of the most troublesome Of our
common weeds are quack grass and
Canada thistle. The former may be
distinguished from other grasses If its
characteristic features are known.
Whatever method will destroy quack
grass will also kill Canada thistle or
any other perennial weed.
FallOwing or cultivation without a
crop is the most certain method Of
eradication on large areas and may
be used to good advantage except
on sandy soils and those continuously
wet or very porous. Success depends
upon the depth Of plowing and fire.
quent cultivation. The prevention of
all leaf-growth in weeds means their
certain death. Certain cropping sys-
tens will usually be successful with
quack grass.
