ly made at the White house in con-
nection with the call issued by the
president that Mr.. Harding regard
ed his proposals as q final proposal
from the government for voluntary
action by the railroads and en-
ployes to end the menace to the
country's interests which the ad-
ministration sees in the paralysis
of transportation, particularly in
the coal field. The proposals to-
day were made without consulta-
ton with railroad executives and
the president does not know wnat
will be the attitude of the labor
unions, it was added.
Settlement through the railroad
labor board, the president was said
to believe, is the only practical
course for the government to seek.

siders the suggestions just made as
representing the judgment of one
who has been standing in between
the parties to the controversy.

youth and, when ransomed, returned
as an apostle to the land of his cap

which is so popular and so reyered in
Ireland, in memory of the patron

How Jewels Are Designed

When q customer desires a brooch
or pendant or ring mounting, the de-
signer paints in water eolors on cellu-
loid or paper an exact picture Of the
article as it will look when finished.
Perhaps several designs will be sub
mitted before one is accepted by the
customer. In the case of very ex-
pensive and elaborate pieces Of work,
a wax model is sometimes made. This
is extremely difficult 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
According to jewelry manufacturer
who also designs jewelry for fashion
able folks in the national capital, there
is constantly increasing demand for
well designed, well made, hand-wrought
jewelry AS he explained it, it gives
discerning people an opportunity to
express their individuality and taste.
Everybody likes something different:
People are now going to makers OF
jewelry, he said, in much the same
way that they 60 to the tailors-to
have something distinctive made to
meet certain conditions OF purpose, fit

unique.
One thing which has worked for the
survival Of hand work against machine
competition is the popularity Of plati-
nun. Fine platinum jewelry is very
hard to stamp by machinery, without
losing the fine and artistic execution.
This however, is now done, and some
designs can be reproduced in that
way, but platinum lacks the fine NAL
Liability which makes gold so easy to
work by machinery. Platinum, on the
other hand, has distinct advantages
over gold for the hand worker. 1t is
possible to do much finer work with
it, and it is more enduring.
Hence the making of platinum jew
elry promises to remain, what all jew.
