Pearls Are Pearls
 Is Verdict Made By French Scientist

Paris. Nov. 26.-Pearls are pearls, whether produced by the Japanese method or artif1cally stimulating their production in oysters or formed in the usual manner, so far as French sci- ence can determine. M. Boutan in a report to the Academy of Science, shows that the process of formation Is the same in both cases and the only difference is in the larger core of the "Japanese' pearl.
 Among Jewellers there has been some difference of opinion, but the majority seemed to agree that only by holding pearls to the light and judg- ing the size of the core could they distinguish between "rear' and cul- tivated pearls.
 In the Japanese" method some ob- ject is placed in the oyster which promptly protects itself by deposit ing about the intruder the pearl sub stance, exactly as it does when such an object gets into the shell accident ally There was no explanation as to why ''rea1' pearls are found only about small cores. The reason for the larger core in the cultivated stone is the need to hasten the process SO it will be profitable

BEACKHEADS


 Blackheads are a curse that seem to creep on women unawares. A woman may think she is keeping her skin properly cleansed and suddenly find, when she examines it closely in SpeckS are visible all over her face.
 It is exceedingly difficult to get rid of these little bIackheads. Soap and water will never accomplish it. Either a cleansing cream or some spe- cia1 preparation must be used. Black heads are composed of a substance like hardened oil, so there are two ways of getting rid of them. One of them Is to soften them with oil, the other to attack them with some sort of drying powder. Either way is effective if persisted in.
 1y you use cream purchase cleans ing cream. which costs less and is more effective than the usual massage cream. If you use a drying powder make up the following for yourself:
 Corn starch ......2 ounces
 Powdered borax Il ounce
 Almond meal ....1 ounce
 Whichever you use, first open the pores of the skin by holding hot wet cloths over the face, then rub in either the cleansing cream or the powder, and massage thoroughly to get it well into the pores. Rinse with hot water and follow this with a cold rinse, and with an ice rub if you have any ice. If you use this podwer you will be surprised at the quantity you can rub into the skin.
