 PARIS. Feb. Gone are the days when "a single pearl" un. less it is the size of goose egg, excites anything but scorn ip Paris.
 Fashions in jewels, real and make-believe, have changed 70 completely that most of the once carefully observed etiquette of the jewel-box is as out-of-date as horse hair brooches. Discretion and unconspicuousness are words that have almost disappeared from the vocabularies of jewel-buying Parisians.
 French designers, like the wo, men they design for, have thrown the conventions of the last gen. eration out of the back door and embarked on an era of "the big ger the better"
 Not since dowagers wore ropes of diamonds, dog-collar fashion, around their throats has anything as spectacular as the diamond scarf appeared. It is supple and can be worn in many ways, even looped over and tied like cravat. It's width and length varies with the purse of the purohAser.

SCIENTIFIC SCALE FOR FOOD TEST
 FORMULATED BY WOMAN SPECIALIST

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA new double scale for estimating the proteins and minerals as well as the calories needed by a family has been developed by Dr. Edith Hawley, specialist in the federal Bureau of Home Economies.
 pr. Hawley's system. of special interest to technical workers in the dietary field, deals in terms of food composition needed by an adult man., and makes possible a comparison between families oi different makeup.
 A home consisting of a father mother and three children aged 16, 14 and 10 has different food needs from one consisting of two men and two women, one quite elderly. The first family should have about five times a man E energy requirements, and 5.7 times his protein and mineral needs, whereas the second family would be well-nourished on food supplying Al times mans ener. gy requirements, and 3.S as much protein and minerals as an adult man needs.
 There are scores of combina- tions. each with separate and n dividual food requirements. The requirements may be scientifically arrived at by the double scale method. The energy scale ;s based on two scales already iil use in dietary studies, but the protein and mineral scale is an innovation based on recent find ings regarding the nutrients re Qutred for best growth and de yelopment.
 pr. Havley Is a graduate .i C0lumbia university. where shs also studied the calcium needs of children. She took her doc torate degree at Leland Stanford university. and came to the home economics bureau in 1924 from the Food neoearch laboratory at Palc Alto. California.

RULING ON TRADEMARK
 OF SILVERWARE MAKERS
American Silver Co. Cannot Conflict With International Silver Co,
 Washington Rules.
By GEORGE 1T. MANNING

iNa&a.nxton Bureau of the \, B, heFaldD
 Washington, D. C., May 1.-The American Silver Co, of Bristol, Conn, cannot use the figures "1S5' as a trademark on silverware in any way that might be confusing with the trademark 1S47 Rogers Bros" used by the International Silver Co. of Meriden.
 First Assistant Patent Commis- sion Kinnan rendered this decision today. stating that the Bristol firm can use the trad-n1ark "A. s. Co., and the notatoon "1S57" each enclos ed in lozenge- shaped panel. Such a trade mark, he held, would not be so similar 10 the "1S47 Rogers Bros" trademark, owned by the Meriden firm. as 10 be confusing.
 The mmissioner, pointing out that the date in each case represents the year in which the respective firms started in business, held that their similarity seems accidental but that as the Bristol firm has never before used the figures T S5l on its trade mark. nile the Meriden firm has for many years sold silver ware with the date '1SiI' in Its trade mark, it cannot now register trademark which might be decep- lively similar to the "lS4I Rogers Bros" trade mark.
