MAY WEAR JEWELS
 MINED IN ARKANSAS

A caravan from China brings silks and jade and jasper; tho South seas send their pearls and Africa it's dia monds; up from Bolivian mines the silver ore comes to the smeltcrs; all tor milady's adornment. And now Arkansas may be added to the list, tor here are found not only dia monds and pearls, but amethysts, eurquois, garnets and opals, jasper If various colors, and agate finely 5ariegated.
 Everyone knows, of course, that
 diamonds have been found in Arkan- sas, but few know the story of the discovery of the diamond bearing rocks and that at the time, in 1899 more importance was attached to the discovery as suggesting the time and character of the force which in an early geologic period sank Arkansas beneath the ocean, than as opening new field for mining.
 An interesting account of the dis covery of diamonds is given in the Outlines of Arkansas Geology" :" compiled by John c. Small, and is sued by the State Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture. Four areas of the diamond bearing rocks have been discovered near Murfrees- boro in Pike county. One of these, the one near the mouth of Prairie creek, has been known since 1842 to geolOgists. Dr, John c. Branner was the first to recognize it as peridotite or diamond bearing rock in 1899, but Dr. Branner, spending half day searching for diamond specimens and not finding any, re- trained from making any sensational announcement, we arc told, and publisbe cd his discovery in con servative report.
 The first diamonds were not found until 1906. John Huddleston, now of Philadelphia, discovered these stones, which were sent to a Little Rock jeweler and which were later cut by Tiffany, in New York, They were pronounced perfect stones, equal in purity to those of South Africa. At least 5000 stones, in a clear. flat stone of II carats and canary colored octa- hedron weighing 17.S5 carats had been found up to 1920.
 Pearls selling from $500 to $2,5OO are found ill tho Black and White rivers in northern Arkansas. The Arkansas pearls are of rare quality, lustrous, beautifully colored and un- usually perfect in shape. The pearl bearing shells arc used in the manu- acture of pearl buttons. They are dredged from the bottom of the streams by especially designed boats manned by expert fishermen. But ton manufacturing plants have been established at Black Rock, Newport, Dc Valls Bluff, and Clarendon.

HEALTH ACTION
FOR METUCHEN
Matters Protecting Children
Are Discussed at Meeting
of the Board of Education.
[By Evening News SIAN Correspondence

fBy Evening News Sian Correspondent
METUCHEN, May 4.-The pres
ence of a small epidemic of mumps
in Metuchen was reported to the
members of the board of education
at their regular monthly session last
night, in a statement from the med
ical inspector of the borough.
The discussion between the men,
bers of the board and Elmer Rapp.
of Pearl street, in reference to the
exclusion of the latter's children
from school on a recommendation
by DIR. A. l.. Ellis, medical examiner,
that the children were suffering
from a skin disease, known as scab-
les. was continued. The father of
the children presented two certifi-
Gates to the board from his family
physician, DIR. Hoeffer, setting forth
hat the children were not suffering
from contagious diseases, out these
were not satisfactory to the board,
inasmuch as they did not state that
the children did not have this dis
ease.
Reports from DIR. Benjamin Gut
man., of New Brunswick, and Cap
tain Samuel b. Ross, of the Raritan
Arsenal Hospital. who examined
the children were to the effect
that the children were suffering
from the disease. The board ruled
hat the children will not be allowed
back to school until entirely cured.
They nave been excluded from
school for about three or four
months.
A report was made to the. board
that contracts ranging from $1,000
to $1,000 a year, have been offered
to many of the teachers of the Dor
ough, and it is likely hat returns
will be made before long. Mrs. T..
l.. Molineux was named as repre-
of local board to attend
federation of school board mem
bers to be held in Trenton on May
81.
Principal Van Kirk of the high
school, had a statement before the
board reporting a fai" attendance
at both schools during the month
of April, and a letter was received
from the South Metuchen Social
and Civic Club thanking the board
for the use of Edgar school, in
to hold their meetings.
After some discussion it was de-
cided to allow the children of Cap
Hagerdorn fifteen minutes
more for lunch each day, and if
do not return 20 school on this
action will be taken in ac-
,ordance with the truancy law. The
report of DR.. Eiss before the board
was } the effect thaB the children
are suffering from stomach disor-
1ers, on account of the distance to
walked and time allowed for
lunch each day. The report request
ed the children be allowed to at
tend Franklin school instead of Ed
gar school.
