.JEWELRY ART MENACED,
MR.. HASKIN DECLARES
DAILY Letter By Frederic j. Haskin

not scent to achieve regulations out
side Of their own trade. 1t Is charac-
t~eristic of modern industrialism that
the artists are buried under the busi-
ness, so that an especially beauti-
full piece of work is known by the
name Of the firm that sold it but
never by that Of the man who Gre
ated 1t.
Furthermore, the designer and
once they were the same person.
Sometimes the jewelry manufacturer
himself is the designer, while he
employs the highly skilled work.
men to carry out his ideas. The
designer is an artist possessed with
a thorough knowledge Of jewelry
construction and usually one who
has grown up In the business.
How Jewels Are Designed
When a customer desires a o
or pendant or ring mounting, the
designer paints in water cOlors on
celluloid or paper an exact picture
Of the article as it will look when
finished. Perhaps several designs
will be submitted before one is &C
cepted by the customer. In the case
of very expensive and elaborate
pieces Of work, a wax model is some
times made. This is extremely diff
cult work which only a few of the
designers are able to do artistically.
In this wax model the metals and
jewels are shown in their natural
colors as nearly as possible.
According to a jewelry manufac-
turer who also designs jewelry for
fashionable folks in the National
Capital, there is a constantly in
~creasing demand for we'll designed,
we'll made, hand wrought jewelry.
AS he explained 1t, it gives discern
ing people an opportunity to express
their individuality and taste. Every
body likes something different. Peo-
pie are now going to makers of jew
elry. he said, in much the same way
| that they go to their tailors-to
have something distinctive made to
| meet certain conditions of purpose.
fitness and personal taste. AS the
| designs for hand wrought jewels
| are seldom, il ever, repeated. the
product is unique.
One thing which has worked for
! the survival of hand work against
machine competition is the popu-
larity of platinum. Fine platinum
jewelry is very hard to stamp by
machinery, without losing the fine
and artistic execution. This, how
ever. is now done. and some designs
can be produced in that way, but
platinum lacks the fine ~malleability
which makes gold so easy to work
by machinery. Platinum, on the
other hand. has distinct advantages
over gold for hand worker. 1t is pos
sible to do much fined work with
it, and 1t Is more enduring.
Hence the making of platinum
jewelry promises to remain, what all
jewelry once was and probably still
should be-one of the fine arts.

COLDS

You have heard this saying, and
probably are guided by it: Feed
a cold, starve q fever" That is
wrong.
The author of this saying was Hip
pocliates, famous Green physician.
About 1900 years ago, he wrote: IF
you feed a cold, you'll have to starve
a fever"
Some of the words have fallen by
the wayside. 2
In treating a cold, starvation diet
is the best medicine.

INCREASING SIGNS OF PROSPERITY

It's good news that comes from the plant of the Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining Company in this city. All indica-
lions point to a big change. with a new interest behind the
activities there. The most gratifying thing at the present
time is the employment of more men getting the big plant
in shape for the contemplated changes.
incidentally, we understand that the American Smelt-
ing & Refining Company is concentrating its work here in
the East at Baltimore. 1t will be recalled that Baltimore has
adonted a new system of taxation whereby land values are
made to carry the load while buildings and machinery are
exempt. Naturally, this attracts manufacturers and helps
build up the city in many ways. Unless New Jersey wakes
up and put her system of taxation on a more modern basis
she is going to lose more and more of her industries.
According to all reports, however, the A. S. & R. plant
in this city is to be buster than ever once the new interests
take hold. Perth Amboy welcomes these increasing signs of
returning prosperity.

WANNAMAKER URGES MINI
MUM PRICE FOR CROPS

Washington, Jan. 26.-Staoiliza-
ton of the prices of farm products
through government fixation of min
imum nrjces for the basic crops alone
will save the agricultural industry
from bankruptcy, the senate agricul-
ture committee was told today by j.
S. Wannamaker of South Carolina,
president of the American Cotton as
soc:ation. Mr.. Wannamaker is one OF
several delegates to the general agri-
cultural conference who have been In
vited to appear before the committee
to discuss the pending Ladd price sta
bilization bill. Others will give tes-
timony tomorrow.
Mr.. Wannamaker declared that if
the cotton now held were forced on
the market at present prices it would
result in the closing of at least 70
per cert of the banks in the cotton
growing districts which have made
extensive loans on the crops. The
market price now is far below the
cost of production.
The witness estimated that the gov
ernment would not have to expend
more than $5O0,000,0 in purchas-
ing farm products in order to stabil-
ize prices. He suggested that prices
be fixed on only wheat, corn, and cot
ton and said that the government
would have to purchase little of any
of these products in order to maintain
the fixed prices. That, he added, had
been the experience in England,
where the price of long staple cotton
was fixed, in Australia where wool
prices were fixed, and in Brazil where
the price of coffee was set by the
government.

ATHLETICS

We are reprinting from the Able
vile Press and Banner very sane and
sensible article on this subject, or
rather we should say mainly on ath-
letics as they are new in our schools
and colleges. No sensible man or
woman would enter any protest
against athletics, because we must all
realize that a certain amount of man
ly sport is necessary to the right de-
velopment of the boy or the girl, but
there is such a thing as nagnifying
It beyond what should be its proper
place in our schools and colleges,
and we have about reached that point.
It has gore from the college to the
high school and the rural graded
school and on down to the smaller
schools. This is just like all educa-
ton, it comes from the top down and
not from the bottom up, but it seems
to US that the pendulum has swung
100 lar 10 one SlCe.
We are reminded of what we heard
a prominent educator say few days
ago. He has been a teacher for many
years. He remarked, in talking about
schools and colleges, that ne had lived
TO pass through four stages of educa-
ton. The first stage was that educa-
ton had for its aim scholarship, and
then it was scholarship and athletics
and then athletics and scholarship,
and now it seemed to him that its ain?
was athletics. 1t is too true that the
college that does not have a good
football and a baseball team that can
play ball is not considered very much
and the coach is Of more Importance
in the eyes of many than the presi-
dent or the professor Of English or
of any other branch. And from what
we have heard the coach is about the
biggest paid professor in the institu-
ton. And the next step is the tenden-
cy to commercialize the sport. 1t
IS high time for the educators and
leaders among cur people to stop and
think and consider.
But these matters will all adjust
themselves sooner or later. The
world is going through the greatest
transition period in all history in all
departments and it will take time to
get matters properly adjusted. but
we will come to a sane basis in al
THINGS sometime soon.
