under many names, such as pyrope, al
mandine, hessonite, Cape-Ruby, Ari-
zona Ruby, demantoid and others.
This stone is found in our country
as well as in others, and our own
Rocky Mountains are full OF them.

their fine color and brilliancy. Others

The so-called Jacinth is honey-col-

correct name of this kind of Garnet,
however, is Essonite, or Cinnamon

the most valuable kind of Garnet, for
there is a green variety sometimes
mis-named Divine This is used in
the high class of jewelry. The color
is a bright verdigris green and has a
high lustre.

Over Prospects for Big
Tennis TussIe
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

PHILADELPHIA. May 1O.-Bil
Tilden has figured it out today that
If he doesn't play with the Ameri-
can Davis cup team in 1924 that
the trophy will go to Japan. The,
Ttlden views conflict with the gen.
eral idea that Australia is quite
likely to triumph.
T1lden explains It this way:
Japan will have a powerful,
team. Shimizu and Fukada are.
players Of established greatness.
Okomoto and Harada, the new
members, are brilliant performers.
l believe that the Japaneses qtar..
tet can win from the Australians
because with j. o. Anderson off the.
Australian team, 1t is much weaker
and does not seem as strong as
Japan. -
"The Australians, with Patterson
and O'Hara Wood, should win the:
doubles for that pair constitutes.
the finest tennis combination in the
world. But feel certain that
Japan will win the singles. In
case Of a tie between Australia and
Japan, / look for the play-off to
be the most bitterly contested in
Davis cup history-with Japan my
choice, provided Anderson Ia not
with the Australians"

to be held early in March. Several
hundred women are to work under
her direction. Col. Edward Clifford
is general chairman in charge of the
campaign.
The need for a large fund to enable
Emergency Hospital to continue its
important work. according to Wood
bury Blair, its president. is of sew
eral years standing and has been
growing more acute. Mr.. Blair said
recently that the institution is run
ming behind every year as result
of the enormous amount of charity
service.
Part of the 100000 to be sought
in the campaign is needed for Cas-
ualty Hospital. which was in the
hands of receivers and was taken
so that it's services might be con-
tinued.
In connection with the ever-in-
creasing de mand for service from
both hospitals, attention was called
to the chart published in The Star
on Thursday evening. in which the
surprisingly rapid growth of the Dis
trict'S population was graphically
shown. According to this chart.
which was based upon United States
census statistics. the population of
the District has been incrt asing for

DroXimately ten thousand a year. 1t
was pointed out that the present

that there have been no additions
