atty is not an issue in this campaign
and you ought to be able to say all
the public cares to hear on that sub

to give you to the question of political
affiliations of the league leaders.
We do not want the ISSUES be-

THE ISSUES BEFORE THE
VOTERS. If you have nothing to
say for your side against the program
inaugurated and the laws enacted by
the nonpartisan league and only want
to debate whether the leaders Of the
league are socialists or not we see no
object in spending time in debate.
The voters of the state are interested
in fundamental, permanent issues, and
personality of the leaders of either
side is at best only of passing and
temporary interest.

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 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 a
talisman against evil spirits, the
plague and poison. By the deepening
Of its color it forewarned its wearer
against impending misfortune. If tied

The five luckiest Boy Scouts OF
America that ever shook the dust OF
Greater New York and hit the dusty
trails of the Far West are now visit
ing all OF the great national parks
as guests of the Far Western Travel
ers' association. They were chosen by
contest, one from each of the five bor-
oughs of Greater New York. to repre-
sent the scout councils of those Dor
oughs.
They are:
John Prest, Brooklyn council. He
is seventeen years old and an Eagle
scout with "a merit badges for special
achievements in scouting.
Cyril McDermott, Manhattan coun-
ell. He is sixteen years old and is an
Eagle scout with 26 merit badges.
Herbert jacob. Queens council. He
is twelve years old and is the youngest
First Glass scout in the borough.
Walter Perry, Richmond council. He
is fifteen years old and Second Glass
scout.
John Breitieser, Bronx council. He
is fourteen years old and a First Glass
scout.
None of these boys ever before trav-
eled any considerable distance from
New York, and the experiences they
have had on this trip are all new and
wonderful to them.
The Far Western Travellers associa-
ton has been active for years in the
"See America First" movement. Its
president, John B. Patton, in seeking
concrete ways to show faith by works,
followed the suggestion of Huston
Thompson, federal trade commission

parks. Naturally they were to be boy
scouts, and from the biggest city. But

TN THE making of dress accessories
l. ribbons appear to have eclipsed all
othe~ materials. Everything from
hats to shoes and from undies to
wraps looks to ribbon for adornment
and, besides being used for making
garnitures, 1t plays part in the con
struction of many garments. To begin
at the beginning In ribbon accessories,
Is to begin with sashes. There is
world of them to consider, from the
simplest bands of the narrow fash
ioaable two-toned, picot-edged ribbons
that have decked sheer summary
frocks, to gorgeous and intricate af-
fairs in rich moire or brilliant brocade
that are elaborated into bodices and
draperies. There are sashes for aft
ernoon and evening gowns and there
are sashes for street gowns, all as diff
ferent in character as the frocks them
selves are. There are sasf1es that are
prolonged into trains and others that
become draperies Cor skirts or aspire
| into bodices, with the aid of malfnes
or net or lace Frocks are really
merely lovely back grounds for these
ambitious efforts of the accessory de-
signer.
An affair of this kind claims consid-
Grafton in the group of sashes pic
tured This eXtravagant and ingenious
arrangement consists of an overbodice
and girdle which becomes Il ripple of
plaits over the hips and blossoms into
loops and four hanging ends at the
back Two long ends reach the bottom
of the skirt and are edged with frills
of narrow lace. These and the two
shorter ends are rounded. The filmy
gown serves to set off this elaboration
OF the sash into the most important
feature of the costume. 1t would be
effective in any of the lovely colors
used for evening dress,
A much simpler and more popular
sash Is made of wide, soft and plain
satin ribbon. 1t is adjusted about the

the left side 1t is necessary to stay
a girdle of this kind with wire or
some other support. 1t is finished at
the back with two loops and two ends
and over its fastening at the side, a
spray of small roses takes up the color
of the ribbon and repeats it in many
delightful tints.
A description of sashes for evening
frocks might go on indefinitely. there
are so many of them in such varied
arrangements, but their growing i'm

attention. For these there are fine

satin ribbon folded and arranged into

Yankee Understatement.

A paragraph in the Companion about
the mild retort of the man who was
kicked by his horse reminded a sub
scriber Of her grandfather's story Of
John Teele. John was Yankee team
ster, who was trying one day to get a
log down from the top Of the pile. He
tied rope to the log; then. that he
might stop the log before 1t rolled too
far, he tied the other end of the rope
around his waist, John pulled; the log
came down and snatched the teamster
halfway down the mountain. Some
weeks later John was able to sit up and
discuss the accident with sympathet-
ic neighbor.
