WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 5- The truepearl. formed by the wild oyster is having a hard time com peting with less aristocratic pearls.
 First, the Japanese produced a cul- tured pearl that differs from a true pearl only in one respect. In the wild mussel the pearl is the result of eh irritation, generally a bit of sand or a parasitic worm which acci- dentally gets inside the shell. In the cultured pearl the irritating sub- stance is implanted.
 After years of experiment Jap anese succeeded in so Introducing this irritant that the patient oyster would build as perfect a pearl round it as if the irritant had accidentally slipped in.
 This has raised the question: Is a cultured pearl of this sort entitled to the same distinction as the wild pearl? Are pearls grown on farm like so many berries and harvested when ripe to be compared with the pearl for which the diver risks his life in shark invested waters? Gem dealers, gathered recently in London shouted no
 Because the ingenuity of a Japa- nese scientist led him to produce pearls by putting oysters to work on & farm, he was none the less a man. ufacturer. they claimed. It was agreed that the true pearl is the work of nature unassisted and that pearl ing should remain a business of haz- ard and not a truck farm process.
 The meeting decided that while cultured pearls might look just like true pearls-which not all experts would admit-still, they were not to be officially regarded as true pearls French dealers went home and is- sued a warning in a French paper that merchants selling cultured pearls under the title of fine pearls" would be liable to prosecution for fraud That was supposed to make the world safe for the wild pearl.

Budgets, Large and Small

In the preparation of the budget Director Dawes went into every nook and in search of holes that might be plugged to prevent waste. He always looking for millions be saved, but for dollars which, when enough of them accreted, make millions. The savings which he proposes effect and which will be effected will be in the neighbor- hood of billion dollars In his estimate he allows for naval expenditures next s47s,S50ooo and for 1s2s s4s1.754ooo against ss5o.ooo.ooo this year. General Dawes Of course, did take into account the results of the limitation conference but he based his estimate the existing naval pro- gram His figures if the conference ends fully 1t now appears 1t will. will be much further reduced
 The manner though in which General Dawes went about the preparation Of his budget is which should be followed by all budget makers, whether for the state the county the city Too often, in fact generally when those charged with regulating ex- penditures get to work, they regard small sums negligible. A matter of few hundred dollars for this that office is not given consideration. The head of the office the department is not greatly concerned about the saving of public money. The amount which he proposes to waste in the employ ment of clerks than necessary is small that it will add perceptible burden to the tax payers, But when so many of these imperceptibie sums are added together they become perceptible.
 Then in the reverse process of cutting off need less expenditures the same scrutiny should be given small ones large
 Every graft, big little, must be attacked wherever it may be found We not speaking especially of criminal graft, but generally of favor itism which results almost invariably in incompetent service, putting tax payers the disadvantage of having to pay for something they do not receive.
 A carefully arranged budget will prevent office holders aspiring further office holding, from draw ing upon the public treasury, in part. for their paign expenses.

, MAKING PEARLS CHEAP

perts are put to it to distinguish these imitation from true pearls.
 There is no fine distinction to be settled regarding the status of the German pearl. It is an imitation and claims to be nothing else. But If it is so good that all but experts are de- ceived and if 1t can be sold for one fifth the price of other imitation pearls, as the maker announces, may there not be a demand for this cheap article to the detriment of trade in other pearls, both real and imitation :? Dealers fear that there may. So the pearl business is still disturbed.
 The German pearl maker, Herr Heinz, is known as an expert in imi- tation gems. He used to claim that he could produce a beautiful imita- ton of any gem except the pearl This. he admitted, was the most diff ficult to initiate, but still he experi- mented with formulas. until at last he has hit upon a satisfactory one. His formula is reported as a mixture of fish lime. wax and silver nitrate in molten glass.
 Blown glass pearls are far from new. A preparation made from the scales of bleak fish has long been used to coat the inside surface of glass to make pearl beads This fish skin substance contains brilliant col ors and gives 70 the glass the creamy opalescent tint of the pearl.
 Wax Is generally used to fill the hollow inside the glass bead to make it resemble the solid structure of a pearl. But the surface has a glassy shine, and the bead is slightly lighter in weight than a real pearl. Glass beads have, therefore, always been readily distinguishable from req pearls to any practiced eye.
 Apparently, Herr Heinz has i'm proved on this product. It is an- nounced that the blowing of his new glass pearl is a difficult art. Heinz says that he can copy the pearls fir any color or ornament so closely that the owner can wear the imi- tation and still attract admiration for her beautiful pearls while the real gems lie safe in a vault. The result of this challenge to the pear business and the dog collar dowagerS has not yet been announced.

The Flag Over Ehrenbreitstein
BY DR. FRANK CRANE Copyright 1921. by Frank Crane)

am sitting in the Coblenzerhof Hotel and looking out of window the Rhine and seeing the Stars and Stripes flying Ehrenbreitsten-that magnif- cent fortress of Germany which compared with Eng lands Gibraltar.
 The flag in that place means a great deal to the whole world, of which have spoken in other articles But in this one would like to give you idea of what it means to the United States itself
 delegation of the United States Chamber of Commerce was over in Europe not long ago and after inspecting conditions generally and carefully studying the situation, they reported that:
 "In every country visited the opinion was ex- pressed that neither Western Central Europe progress for the future without our assistance"
 There may be quite few Americans who may
 What of it? What have we to do with Europe? Why not pull out and let them settle their affairs? Remember what Washington said about European en- tangements
 Taking the last phrase first I might suggest to those whose ideas not altogether muddled that what Washington warned against passionate at tachment to country against others thus becoming ebroiled in European quarrels. But there is little doubt that he would have hailed with delight trance into sort of solid cooperation with all the nations of Europe in order to bring about the peace of the world
 The Flag flying over Ehrenbreitstein means that the United States has still left idea of it's duty toward mankind in general.
 But the point wish to bring out is that this Flag also stands for the way out of economic trouble and financial slump.
 The situation is very clear to any business with vision.
 Our present condition of unemployment and de pression is directly due to the fact that have no outside market for the surplus goods produce. We raise wheat and cotton and make more steel and copper than we able to consume at home, and we cannot sell it abroad.
 We cannot sell it abroad because the money of the world is in chaos.
 That chaos exists because of political unrest every where.
 That political unrest is due to hope of breaking up the Treaty of Versailles.
 That hope is fed by the fact that America will not come in.
 The world has not yet given up hope entirely that America will join hands with the other nations and settle on some plan for the peace of the world. And the flag flying over Ehrenbreitstein IS the symbol of that last hope.
 So long as it flies there, there remains some pros pect that the nations of the earth will agree upon settled programme and that having done this, the change situation will right itself And when that takes place. America can sell her goods abroad and prosperity will come again.
 So you see there is direct connection between the flag over Ehrenbresten and the prosperity of the American farmer in Iowa, the steel worker in Pitts burgh and the cotton grower in the South.

But its days are numbered and with in a month we expect to see the state road forces at work on the project. The estimate for this project by the engineers is S45.000, the federal gov crnment to furnish approximately S1.40 to sI of county funds. Mohavo county has been ready to go ahead with this project for long time. but the failure of federal aid held the project up. The recent appropriation of s75,0OO,00 of federal aid funds gives Arizona enough to carry on its road activities until next July, when other federal aid funds will become available.-Miner.
