MUCH FOR WINE AS GOVERN
MENT SPENT FOR BREAD.

ROME-(By A. P.)-Professor
Ugo, Ancona, formerly Under Secre-
tary of Transportation in the Italian
cabinet, has just made public state
ment that while the Italian govern
ment has spent more than $1,000
100000 a year for bread for the peo-
pie, the Italian workers have spent
$90O,000,000 year on wine alone.
The governments expenditure for
bread has. resulted from it's under
taking to pay the difference between
the cost of producing wheat and the
price of bread In consequence Of
this the Italian workers have been
able to buy bread at the rate of one
Ira for each kilogram of 2.20 pounds.
Professor Ancona says that while
the workers refuse to pay more than
this, this have no objection to paying
4 or lire for quart of wine, which
before the war cost about IL cents a
quart. He asks whether it is just

from each owner to be paid into the good roads

VIDENCE against fourteen young
men, former employees of the war
risk bureau, charged with defrauding
disabled soldiers out of claims aggre-
eating more than 100000, has been
presented to the grand jury by Dis
trict Attorney John e. Laskey. Thlr-
ty-five specific cases of soldiers hav-
ing been victimized were presented,
although there are seventy-twO cases
in which veterans of the war have
been defrauded "and only the top OF
the conspiracy has been scrape6" ac-
cording to the secret service Officials.
A big force of secret service opera
tives are working on the plot, and
$4,000 claims are being investigated
on the suspicion that several thou
sand more victims of the alleged swim
dlers may be found. The qualifications
Of the investigation cover the whole
country, including the army hospitals
and rehabilitation institutions.
Other arrests are expected, as the

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 off on the pub
lie it 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 it is today.
For instance, the ancients believed
that IL ruby were worn about the
neck it 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 a
talisman against evil spirits, the
plague and poison. BY the deepening
of it's color it forewarned it's wearer
against impending misfortune. If tied
upon the forehead i'm a linen cloth 1t
was believed to be specific for dis
ease of the eye.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Small UNDERMINING Is
Needed by Weight Men

Small legs are better for a
weight man, according to Matt
McGrath. the 56-pound weight
champion.
He says: "a real weight man
must be able to move swiftly.
1t Is from his legs that he gets
the momentum that adds to the
strength of the arms and shout
ders. This is particularly true
of the 5e-pound weight event, In
which practically all the
strength of the arms and shout
ders Is needed to hold up the
weight while swinging around,
the momentum given to the legs
being used to give distance to
the throw.
''It is almost equally true Of
I the hammer and discus throw,
although not so much Of the
shotput, where more solidarity
of underpinning is needed"
