GEMS MADE IN LABORATORIES
limitations Of Precious Stones Are So
Perfect That They Can Almost
Deceive Experts.

Rubies, sapphires, cmcralds, many
other stones can now be initiated so
beautifully that ii is no longer easy
to detect the difference, upon a casual
examination. Pearls are made lin a
number of varieties, and imitation
pearls are plentiful and often worn.
While only an expert can determine
whether some gems are genuine, there
are certain simple methods by which
in most cases the genuine article"
may be detected at home.
Color is usually considered the first
great criterion Of all precious stones.
1t is now generally conceded, however.
that color alone is not a criterion by
which stones may be judged; other
physical properties must be taken into
consideration by the jewel expert.

The result is that the heads Of the

what goes on In the dope circles of
New York or Chicago, among the big
cities, or in such peculiar cOmmuni-
ties as Hollywood, the motion pic
ture center, where thousands live that
are half crazy from too much easy
money and too much notoriety, who
have exhausted every normal sensa-
ton. But If the evil was confined to
the cities 1t would not be so terrible
TO contemplate.
ut Is no longer city vice. 1t is
spreading to the small cities and to
the country towns. This is due in part
to the returned soldiers, many of
whom had become accustomed to NOR
phine or cocaine In the relief of suf
fering from wounds. Some of Ii is
due to the temporary visit of young
men and young women, craving eX-
citement, in the cities. And much Of
1t is due to the deliberate effort of

town, mind you, not the big city,
though the same Is true in the big
city. Every devilish trick and device
that can be thought of is resorted to
by the agents of the ring to encourage
the use of dope.
Usually a little cocaine Is suggested
as a local anesthetic to relieve some

be introduced In congress before long

step will be corrective and construc-

1T may be that the government will,
in the end, have to construct and
maintain sanitariums, one on the
Pacific coast, one on the Atlantic
coast, one on the Southwest coast, one

southeast coast or section. for curing
the nations drug addicts, thus making
1t more difficult for the snow ring to
extend its terrible traffic, traffic that
is actually and positively threatening
the very fiber of the nations manhood.
II have recommended to the United
States government that million farms
OF forty acres or less be provided by
the government from what are now
waste and unimproved lands, and that
the government spend whatever is
necessary to put these lands In shape
for cultivation, and then offer them on
long time and easy terms to a million
young men coming year by year into
manhood.
Correctional Methods Needed.
"More than 75 per cent of the crimes
committed in the United States would
never have been perpetrated If youths
had had the proper opportunity and
environment. Every year, 1t may in
terest you to know, 100000 persons,
100000 of them neglected lads, are
committed to various terms of i'm
prisonment by the courts OF this coun-
try-victims of economic conditions.
There Is dire necessity of i'm
mediate correctional methods before
the crime or misdemeanor has been

sary use little duress. Keep them
In the open. Make them produce.
Then the snow ring will lose its re-

New York City Beggars
Earn $50 to $50 a Day

New York City is stirred over
the increasing number Of public
beggars. 1t was brought out at
recent aldermanic meeting
that any number of beggars were
averaging from $50 to $50
day. The most select begging
field is in the theatrical district
where heart throb productions
are playing. The audiences are
torn with emotion as they leave
and never fail to give aims.
The next best field is the sub

piers go tripping forth to work.
Beggars, 1t is said, play upon
the feminine superstition that 1t
is bad luck to begin a day by
refusing aims. Many beggars be-
come so opulent that they spend
their week-ends at Atlantic City.
