weeks Mid weather has had little
effect in ameliorating the coal strin-
seney dealers state. az many house
holders who laid in moderate sup
plies OF coal last summer are now
beginning to run short and are plac-
ing orders for fresh stocks.
Word came from Reading, Pa, to-
day that independent mine operators

Approximately one-half the supplies

today said that thus far only ex-
ceptional instances of local dealers
increasing the prices asked above

Commission had been reported. The
local prices as set by the commits
mission are sf1.65 for pea coal and
si4.25 for egg, stove and nut sizes.
These are for 1000 pounds, and do
not include carrying in" charges.
Mr.. Kemp added that he knew OF
one dealer who had been obliged
TO pay as high as s10.5O per ton
for pea. leaving him margin OF only
s1.15 to cover costs of delivery,
and actually causing him a loss on
every ton sold.
Were It not for the fact that the
dealers sell other commodities. such
as ice, lime and cement" said Mr..
Kemu. they will be compelled to

Earrings, and Some
Notes on Gems

The fve-pound topaz brought
from the interior of Brazil. accord
ing TO newspaper reports, is a mere
preface to the story of the trails
by which most of the precious
stones worn by the people of our
country reach the United States
Geographic Society from its Wash
ington. d. c.. headquarters.
Thoug we may be Independent
about our supplies of petroleum,
copper, iron and coal, and other
useful minerals and even about our
deep, rich veins OF gold and silver,
we must buy in the marts of other
countries of the world our diamonds,
our rubies emeralds and sapphires.
The value of the gems which we
imported during 1921 was eighty
times as great as the value Of those
produced in the United States dur
ing the same period. nearly $40, ,OOO,-
600 being paid for cut and uncut
stones by this country. Montana,
during that year. produced more
than forty times as many gems as
any other State and then the value
of those stones was only S4S9.021.
The love of precious stones has.
since the beginning of history, been
rife in the human heart. The
Pharaohs. the Babylonians, the
Incas. and the resplendent court Of
Montezuma blazed with their glory.
They figured in the religious sites
Of the Hebrews even from the days
Of the Exodus.
Their clear and unva:Ying color
qualities have crept into our Ian
guage as adjectives OF more value
than superlatives-for example.
The Emerald Isle" sapphire seas
ruby lips" "pearly teeth" and
Shakespeare's "the natural ruby Of
your cheeks" ,
Superstititions have grown up
around these bits of prisoned ce-
lestial fire. The influence they were
supposed to exert upon nativity, as
manifested i'm the lore of the Jew
ish and Polish gem symbols Of the
months. or birth stones" still is
familiar.
Many Of the students OF folklore
believe that the custom Of wearing
gems originated in their potential
value as talismans rather than in
the desire OF ornamentation.
The woman who wears carelessly
a string OF perfectly matched pearls
from the Philippines, Burma. Borneo
or the Persian Gulf may not know
that the pearl mussels made these
beautiful gems because grain Of sand /
SCRATCHED their backs" or some
foreign body chafed their flesh. IN

Who CONTROLS
new Bridge?
Levy Court or Legislative
Commission Question
Comes Up Today
STRUCTURE IN NEED
OF REPAIRS

The question has arisen as to
who Is boss Of the Washington
Memorial Bridge" the Levy Court
Of New Castle county or the Wash
ingon Memorial Bridge Commission.
The matter was brought to head
somewhat at the meeting OF Levy
Court today, when letter was re-
ceived from Alfred ]. DUPONT OF the
bridge commission. concerning dam
age to balustrsde OF the bridge by an
automobile driven by Victor Barsky.
In his communication, Mr. dupont
declared ridiculous the attitude OF
the court in not repairing the bridge
because IL was not in control OF the
structure. He pointed out that the
bridge was turned over to Levy Court
on Memorial Day and that the cost
Of repairs should be borne by the
county body. Mr.. DUPONT. in his
letter. considered the bridge dan
gerous with the repairs to the bal
ustrsted not made.
The letter was referred 10 the
Court as committee OF the whole.
This is the second time damages to
tho bridge have been brought 10 the
attention OF Levy Court. on the pre-
vious occasion piece OF curbing
was broken of by a truck and the
Court refused to bear the expense
OF repairs.
Before the commissioners recessed I

committee of the whole, Hamilton 7
Stewart a member Of the Court /
made a statement. He said. /
Il take exception to statements in (
that letter. when did the body |
(meaning the Memorial Bridge Com 4
mission) cease 10 function? I read (
recently in the newspapers where I
they had met for the list time"
Further on in his remarks Mr..
Stewart said. I'VE all know that the
former president Of this court did
receive this bridge. but the commits
sioners should have sent to us a
communication turning il over to
this body. This has never been
done. have been informed. our
former president has never made a
report Of his work or the compile
ton OF the bridge to this court"
Mr.. Stewart also commented that
he did not think the bridge danger
Gus in its present condition.
The Court was still meeting as a
committee of the whole at 2.15 after
being in session. for more than an
hour.

xXTHEN we strike at advertising, meaning

TO retard business right now is suicide
When the merchant pulls down his Shln8e

When he is forced to cut down one OF his
best methods of selling because his banker
considers advertising an unnecessary item OF
expense and refuses an otherwise deserved

opinion that we should laugh at the banker.

Don't mistake my meaning. 1t is basic
