UNABLE TO DETECT
 ARTIFICIAL PEARLS
Difference Between Them and the Real Thing Only in the Pearl
 Seed It Is Explained

Paris. Oct 7.-Owners in Paris of valuable strings of pearls have been thrown into something like consternation by the published opinion of Dr. Louis Boutan, professor of science at the University of Bordeaux and an expert in pearls, that he and other pearl experts are unable to dis tinguish between real pearls and those artif1cially grown by the Jap anese. The statement of Dr. Bou- tan, made at the French Acadeuy Of Sciences, removes the last hope con- corning Japanese pearls, which have been grown in quantity since M. Miki- moto, the Japanese scientist made his discovery.
 Pearls normally are grown by &C., cident through a fine grain of sand entering the shell of the oyster. The white substance. called pearl, grows inside the oyster and is a secretion caused by the effort Of the shellfish to get rid of the foreign substance Mikimoto conceived the idea of opening oysters and inserting the foreign substance, or grain or Sanu, tlldt loIHieiiy ooiiie 'ii'iN ~ dentally.
 Since Japanese began to grow pearls artifcially, there has been much discussion as to whether these new pearls would affect the value of the accidentally grown pearls. The only difference would appear to be In the pearl seed, or grain of sand, and now it is claimed by Dr. Boutan that even this difference cannot be de- tccted.
 The statement of pr. Boutan Is categoric: If I did not have cer- tficate of origin when sections or pearls were shown me. pearls cut into sections for testing purposes. l would not be able to say which pearl Is arti- ficial."

EXTENSIVE PHOTOGRAPHY
New Airplane Camera Surveys Great Areas Hitherto Inaccessible Says Engineering Editor.

Chicago. Sept. 19.-Photographic maps taken by new camera used in airplanes make possible the survey ing of few hours of vast areas hitherto inaccessible, according to J. M. Mercer, editor for the Western so- cidty of Engineers.
 This camera Mir. Mercer asserted. was developed by Major James w. Bagley because experiments made immediately after the World war showed inaccuracies in the method or aerial surveying then used. The camera has three lenses and photo graphic transformer by means of which photographic maps can be made which will be exceedingly ac- curate," stated Mir. Mercer.
 Recently an aerial survey was made of the city of New York;" MT Mer- cer continued for use in connection with the location of certain impor- tant railroad and tunnel properties. The same maps were used by the zon- ing commission, and for such work they are invaluable.

PARENTS FINED IF
 PUPILS ARE HARDY
Nearly Perfect Attendance Re
 suits in Schools

Charlotte Amelie, St. Thomas, V. l.. Oct 7.-The Virgin Islands have the nearest to 100 per cent attendance in the public schools of any state, ter ritory or possession of the United States, according to comparative sta tistics from Washington.
 The school year which has just opened probably will show as high a percentage of attendance as last year which was a fraction less than 99 per cent, It is not unusual for a school to report 100 per cent. attendance week after week.
 There is compulsory education for all children from six to fifteen years of age. When a child is absent from school without proper excuse the par ents are fined 20 cents for each day of absence. Parents are fined 10 cents for every time a scholar is tardy. When sickness is reported as the cause of absence, school nurses inves- tigate, and only on certificates from these school nurses is the excuse of illness recognized Simple treatment by the nurses frequently makes it pos sihle for a child to return to the class room.
 With this system of fines playing hockey" is practically unknown in the Virgin Islands.
 When the United States by pur- chase acquired the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917, there was al ready well established public school system, and it is estimated there was less than five percent. illiteracy in the island The school system, however then extended only to the sixth grade Since then the seventh and eighth grades have been established gener ally, and two junior high schools have been opened with the junior year being offered to establish the fourth and last year of high school study.
 Children in the Virgin Islands are anxious to learn, according to School Director Nase, head of the insular system, and the collecting of fines for tardiness and absence does not yield more than $l0 per month. This year there are 13 school teachers from the United States giving instructions in the island schools, while all of the other teachers are Virgin Islanders.

In Fridays Game, Scott Had
 Ruth Swinging

New York. Oct. ' (By Associated Press) Six of the nine runs scored by the Giants since the series began were driven home by Irish" Meusel. His clout In the first game drove across the two rounds that tied the score and advanced third runner so that he was able to trot in with the winning run on a sacrifice fly. The second day Meusel swatted a home run with two on base giving the Giants all of their scores for the aft ernoon, Yesterday his single in the third sent Groh across the counting rubber, He got only one hit day but each came when 1t was of utmost value.
 Christy Mathewson. playing the re- porter's role in this series, warns up his writing arm before the game starts by complying with requests for autographs on basebaGls, score cards, programs or whatever the besieging souvenir hunters have handy Just before the start of yesterdays game Garry Hermann, owner of the Gin cinnati Reds. left his box to pay short visit of greeting to Iiatty. He did not bother Big Six" with a plea for his signature.
 Many q fan who craved a place among the 22.oo0 unreserved seats couldn't even get near the park yes terday in the last 45 minutes before starting time. Police scattered in a loose barrier a block from the Polo Grounds turned back every one who had not tickets after the upper grand stand and bleachers had been tightly packed
 Jack Dempsey was on hand again. He entered with as much quiet and calm boise as is usual when 40 pho tographers and a hundred champ fol- l lowers surround big man wearing a champagne-c -colored cap. On the ! way to his seat Dempsey went out upon the field to exchange epigrams | with John McGraw.
 Babe Ruth couldn't hit the ball be- | yond the infield. Three times Scott ] pitched to him with such exceeding | skill that the home run slugger | topped the ball so that it took high | bound and was fielded between first l and second. The only time the Bam- bino got on base was when Scott | curved the ball into his ample anat- omy. Hoots and boos were sounded | by Giant fans every time the Babe struck at the ball or had a strike called on him.

Newspaper LamentS Frequency Of
 Accidents in City of London

London, Oct 7.--American visi- tors to London, especially prominent ones, are inclined to say pleasant things to their hosts, and Englishmen are not disinclined to listen. The latest example of this was given by Governor Cox, of Ohio, who is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying some very pleasing things about London as city.
 But would 1t not be better all , around, asks the Daily Chronicle, If they would give us some constructive criticism? Lamenting the frequency of accidents on London streets. this paper says: Why doesn't London im- itate New York, which now leads the world in traffic regulations? It is perhaps too much to hope for the system of signal boxes, semaphores and colored lights that make Fifth avenue model of safety and efficient traffic regulation. But at least we could follow New York's examples in forbidding pedestrians to cross the roadway at dangerous crossings until the point policeman has arranged a fairway and given permission to cross This rule Is so strictly carried out that even the New York messenger boy does not Infringe 1t.
 Another rule that is universal in American and Canada compels all motor traffic to stop dead until a tramcar has discharged and taken up its passengers and started off again. Why this rule Is not adopted in Eng land 1t is impossible to imagine"
 Tt Is nice to have Americans come here and throw lovely bouquets at us," said an English writer, "but I thnk they would do us more good If they occasionally told us point blank of some of the things they find wrong with us. This mutual admiration business that goes on now is not good for either of us.''

 Agree "In Principle"
 we hope to reach a complete agreement during the day. Lord Cur son told the Associated Press when leaving the foreign office to inform his government of the developments.
 We went over the situation at Mudania and some other matters he added, "and are now referring them to our respective cabinets. We will meet again at 2 o'clock. We are agreed in principle
 The modified program of the al- lies it is believed will give the kemal- ists added assurance that the three powers intend that eastern Thrace shall be returned to Turkey as soon as adequate measures have been taken to make the transfer without danger 70 the Christian minority
