Tests for Pearls.
Sure Means Of Telling the Japanese
From the Natural Gems.
FROM the Mercurc de France.

From the Mercurc de France.
There are several ways Of recognize
ing Japanese cultivated pearls.
In the first place. there is the trained
eye OF the expert who at glance can
distinguish q false diamond from a gem
uIne diamond, an artificial ruby from
a real ruby. Japanese pearl from a
true pearl. To the expert and the dealer
the Japanese pearl seen in strong light
seems dark owing to the solid and
opaque nucleus formed by the bit of
mother Of pearl upon which 1t is built
up. The concentric layers s.rralng the
true pearl have a power of rejecting
and transmitting light which gives un-
mistakablc evidence OF the quality OF
the gem.
For those who are not experts there
are other sure tests. Mr.. Hopkins, an
Englishman. has invented an apparatus
which. probably by means of the vapor
OF mercury light. permits Japanese
pearls and true pearls to be distinguished
at once. The Japanese pearls have the
appearance OF yellowish Jumps OF lard.
the true pearls remaining perfectly
white. ! explain this yellowish coloring
by the presence of the chemical with
which the mother OF pearl nucleus IL
treated in order to increase the secre-
tion by the oyster Of the substance OF
the pearl.
Photographed In colors the Japanese
pearl reveals It's nucleus. while the true
pearl remains white. a very simple
test is made with needle provided with
tiny mirror. This being introduced

Women Who Work.

Labor has issued a special bulletin
about women's work in the indus
tries of the State. The comparisons
it presen Wand the deductions it
makes are oased on the occupational
statistics of the United States Census
in 1910 and in 1920.
OF the women in New York State
in 1920 1,135,94S were engaged in
gainful occupations. Massachusetts,
alone led New York in the percent
age of women gainfully employed in
that year; all the other great indus
trial States fell behind by from 5
per cent. to more than 8 per cent.
Thus New York may fairly be re-
garded as representative of the coun-
try at large in studies of women's in
dustrial activities.
As compared with 1910. there was
an increase of 1850 in the number
of women employed in the State, but
the ratio of men to women workers
remained stationary. During the ten
year interval there we're some
marked changes in the proportion of
men to women in various occupa.
tions. This was especially the case
in the matter of domestic service.
In 1910 more than half the per-
sons engaged in this occupation were
women and the same holds true for
1920 Yet in the interval the pro-
portion of women to men dropped
by, an even IL per cent. The number
of women in domestic service in 1910
was 1922, 1853: in 1920 it was 263, ,463, a
numerical falling off of 59.506, for
which growing aversion to domestic
work on the part of women and the
greater attraction of the factory were
no doubt chiefly responsible.
Under the head of transportation
pursuits there are listed twenty-five
groups, including telegraph and tele-
phone operators. In this service
SO. .422 women were engaged. Deduct
fng 31,215 telephone and telegraph
operators, there remained 2,207 who
were accounted for IN occupations
ranging from those of longshoremen
and stevedores to those of managers.
In every one of these groups women
were represented. Among them were
one boiler washer and 223 stevedores
and longshoremen.
In other unusual lines of feminine
occupation were 81 truck drivers and
teamsters, 35 women who worked as
switchmen and fiagmen, 459 laborers
on street railroads and s deckhands.
1t may surprise good many to learn
that there we're in the State 15s
women undertakers.
Restricted to statistical sources Of
information as the authors OF the
bulletin were, the title of the bulle-
tin, women Who Work." is more
than the contents war
rant. The women whose work is the
hardest, whose hours of toll are long
est. whose responsibilities are heavi-
est are unayoidably left out Of the
accounting. The total OF their vast
output of effort Is unrecorded. 1t is
beyond statistical presentation. Yet
it is the bedrock foundation on which
our social fabric rests. for it is the
work that makes the home and rears
children to become useful citizens
Of the Republic. In that vitality i'm
portant field tens of thousands Of
silent, self-effacing American women
are cheerfully putting in from twelve
to twenty-four hours Of hard labor
every day in the week.

France is right In respect or Rus-
sia's debts and in respect of foreign
owned properties in Russia.
France is right in her strong stand
for the sacredness Of just obligations,
for the sacredness Of foreign held
properties.
France is right in holding Russia
to the honorable course. In this she
Is doing Russia very great service.
The man forced into bankruptcy
from conditions beyond his control
who, when he has reestablished him
self, pays his obligations in full is
held in high esteem by his fellow
men as an honest man; the man who
has reestablished himself and takes
advantage of the bankruptcy laws to
release him from the payment of his
debts is held in contempt by his fell
low men. He is not an honest man.
This Is as true Of governments as
OF men. 1t cannot be other than true
of Russia.
The money lent to Russia during
the war was lent to an ally to help
prosecute the war and is sacred
debt. Any Offset Russia may claim
in indemnities for allied military
operations against her after the
breaking of her sacred compact with
tha auies, of which she was one, is
many times unbalanced by her fail
ure to go through with her compact.
It is fact that Russia is now in
desperate financial and economic
straits. But this will not always be
the case. Russia needs help and
must have help, and the world will
come to her aid IL she goes straight
in respect of her just obligations
abroad.
Russia's pre-war national debt,
covering the money owed both at
home and abroad. is only four and
one-half billions of dollars. A con-
siderable proportion Of this is Of
course owed at home, so that her for
eign pre-war debt is, let US say, some.
thing over three billions Of dollars.
Add to this her war borrowings and
credits from abroad while an Ally
not relatively large amount--and
her total foreign obligations can
hardly exceed five billions Of dollars.
And five billions oi ollars meas
ured against rock ribbed national
honesty counts for nothing with a
country so vast in natural resources
and vast in population as Russia.
Yes, France is right and THE New
YORK HERALD stands squarely with
France in this matter-stands with
France both on the principle OF the
Coldes Rule and in respect OF what
IL best for Russia.
IL goes without saying that Russia
must have time to square her foreign
debts. and to square them should be
her most sacred purpose. And so too
It should be her sacred purpose to
rccompcnse foreign owners OF prop
erty confiscated since the revolution.

"Starcby Ear Corn
ROtS Most Easily

In the study Of root, stalk and
ear rots Of corn, one of the most
useful discoveries that has been
made is a very noticeable difference
between starchy ears and horny ears
ia the frequency of infection and
in the vigor of plants produced.
These differences are discussed in
Department Bulletin 1862. Relation
of the Character of the Endosperm
TO the susceptibility Of Dent Corn
TO Root ROtt.ng. by John f. frost,
assistant pathologist. The iinvesti-
cations were carried on Jointly by
the United States Department OF
Agriculture and Purdue university
Agricultural Experiment Station.
Ears of the dent varieties that
have starchy kernels have been
found to be infected with root-rot
organisms more frequently than ears
ia the same seed lots that have
horny kernels. This provides a
means of selection that may help
TO do away with the necessity Of
testing every ear TO determine whe-
Infection II is desirable TO plant.
Starchy kernels are easily distin-
guished from those with horny en-
dosperms The horny kernel is
more or less translucent; that is. it
lets the light pass through II in the
same way that oiled paper does.
Starchy kernels are opaque-like a
piece Of chalk.
Starchy ears of dent varieties
produce larger numbers OF weaker
growing plants. more susceptible to
root rots in the field, than do ears
Of more horny composition.
There Is an impression among
corn growers that the depth Of the
dents IS an Indication Of the starch
mess Of the kernels. but this has
not been shown 10 be true. Chaffy
kernels are usually very starchy. but
starchiness Is not necessarily asso-
ciated with normally-matured ears
that are rough.
