Popularity of Pearls
Reveals Artist Taste

IN ERHAPS never since pearl

celebrated banquet in honor of
Il Mark Antony have pearls been
more highly esteemed for per-
sonal adornment than at present. I'm

has come this love for the pearl
The Vedas. the oldest of the sacred
books Of the Brahmans. written more
than a thousand years before the
Christian era. record the use of the
pearl for adornment. and through the
changing centuries of the present era
the pearl has always ranked highly in
value and popularity.
The wheel of fashion turns. and
through all the changes the pearl has
more than held its own and today
stands pre-eminent The old adage
LAS good he out of the world as out
of fashion might truly be made to
read LAS good be out of the world as
without a pearl" for no society devotee
is quite Sin fashion without pearls; in
fact. pearls are almost as essential and
indispensable to the rich as are houses
or automobiles.
It is needless to say that only with
full evening dress should a woman
blaze with diamonds or drip with
pearls" but on this occasion there is
as does the pearl, for it acts as foil
to the diamond, emerald. ruby and
sapphire and at the same time har-
monies with them. and, in fact, with
all the colored stones.
In days gone by the popularity of the
pearl was principally among the rich
of the East-kings and queens and
wealthy mercha ntmen of the far-away
lands. The past quarter of century
has. however given to the United
States, with its increased wealth and
demand for rich rather than gaudy or
snowy jewelry. the place of pre-emi-
nence in the possession of this article
of adornment.
Up to, 10 years ago the pearl was
confined principally to the centers of
opulence and culture like New York
Boston, Philadelphia and Washington
but with wealth and highly developed
, artistic sense going hand in hand

No one should get the idea, however
that the United States has monopoly
on pearls, for. despite economic depres

used in Europe. This is especially true

Pearls should always be kept in as

The composition of pearl is 90 per
cent carbonate of lime per cent
organic matter. and . per cent water
1t is very essential that this per cent
or water be retained in the pearl. In
order that this be accomplished pearls
should be kept in a container lined
with fine quality of oil silk rather than
In a receptacle lined with absorbent
material.
Calcium carbonate. OF which the
pearl is largely composed. is easily
attacked by strong acids. and if al

CAMPAIGN NEARING

It will not be long until
another campaign is under
way in state and county.
The primaries are less
than a year off, and through
out the state, candidates are
being groomed for various
offices.
The gubernatorial situa-
ton in Democratic ranks
continues the same as it has
been for several weeks.
Democrats aspiring to be
governor are awaiting to see
what Gov. Hunt is going to
do before announcing their
candidacy. They know it
would be almost hopeless to
tackle the governor in the
primaries, should he decide
to seek another term.
In Republican ranks the
gubernatorial situation also
continues puzzling. Indica-
tions, however, point to
Dwight B. Heard again be-
ing a candidate if Hunt
runs, for, according to politl-
cal gossip, the Phoenix pub
Usher, desires another race
against the governor.
Heard, in the campaign last
year, gave the governor a
hard race, so close, that it
was thought for awhile he
had been elected. His
friends believe he could do
better the next time.
It is reported that the Re-
publicans will put complete
state and county tickets in
the field. Heretofore, in
most counties in Arizona,
they have not had complete
tickets. This has been true
in Santa ruz county in re-
cent years.

PAVED STREETS

Another year has almost l!,t
rolled by and Nogales is still
without paved streets, and
asleep at the switch as far as
paving is concerned. i
While all other important
cities and towns in Arizona,
many far smaller than No
cales, have joined the ranks
of places having beautltW
paved throughfares, No.
gales does nothing in regard
to paving with the exception
of talking" occasionally.
AS Tucson, Phoenix, and
other places grow and tour
ist trade increases, the num-
ber of tourists journeying
down to the border increas-
es. One of the biggest sur
prises to a person first visit.
ing here is the absence OF
paved streets. They cannot
understand why a city the
size of Nogales, and one SIT
uated at such an important
place on the border, is with
out paving. In their travels
over Arizona they see paved
streets in cities and towns
much smaller than Nogales.
IF Nogales is going to
grow, we must first make
civic improvements of the
kind that will attract new
residents, and one of the
greatest improvements pos
sible is the laying of paved
streets.
At the rate we are going,
some persons now in their
twenties will be in their
seventies, by the time No
gales has paved streets.
