Antique Jewelry

tique designs. A few years ago it
was thc proper thing to carry old

thing to go to grandmother's jewel

gleton in "The Antiquarian" of New
York. Those who have no old jew-
rls or antique sets.now hasten to

the craze for jade. malachite and

was made by Italians. Garnet has

shall be made within three years
after the first meeting of the Con-
gress. and within cxcl'y subsequent
10 ycars.
To start Congrcss going. it. was
provided that until the iirst. cen-
sus. the number of representatives
should be 65.
The Sixty—eighth Congress.
assembled. has 435 members.
Just
Three years have elapsed since
the last census was taken. upon
which the representation of the
scvcral slntcs.should 1):: based, but
no rcapporilonincnt bill has thus
tar been passed by Congress.
In the last Congress tlie Census
Committee struggled with the prob-
lcin for a long time. reported a bill
in July. 192:1. only to see the my
thrown into the discard.
This bill pl‘u\'id«-d that. after
March 1933, the House of lit-p-
rcsulilatiu-s should be coinpuucd of
4L0 lllt‘lllbtl's. l'nder it twu states
(Maine and Missouri) uould lose

l’c-nnsylvunia and ’l‘cxas. two each;
Michigan and Ohio. thrcc t-ach; and
California. four—a total of 27.
The cominiitce adopted a ratio
of 2:3.Ssz—iliat is. one member for
so many people according to the
1920 census.
Objection to the bill was raised
(1) because of tho t-xtru, cxpcnsc.
(2) because of thc large. number 01'
aliens not naturalized. included in
some states. '
Attention “as called to the fact
that the previous (Sixty-sixth) Con-
gress. by a vote of 20'? to 70. passed
a. bill fixing the membership of t:
House at 435; but the members i‘
the sixty-sorcnth Congress thought
they Were not obliged to accept
the "decision of another Congress.
and reported a. bill of its own.
There have bi‘tfll 13 apportion-
ment. acts since 1'59, the date of the
first. Congress.
There has been\ no reduction in
membership since 1543. From that
year there has been a steady in-
crease in numbers; and about 1890
an inpreaso. of salary from - $5.000
to $7.500.“ Today Congress costs
$14,000,000 every year.
There is a. division of opinionas
to whether Congress basilie power
toco mpci a state to be subdivided
into Congressional districts after
an apportionment bill has been
passed.
It is conceded that there is no
provision in the Federal Constitu-
tion .or in the laws to compel Con-
gress to enact an apportionment
law after. a. census.

sentation stands indefinitely.
An increase in the membership
to 460 would probably cost $500,000
each year. It is doubtful if 'the
people would indcrse such a. propos

the annual production as given.
About one-third of this total origin-

Sweden. the same proportion from
Japan. and 15 per cent. from Great
Britain. In this country there is
invested in the manufacture of
matches about $30,000,000 by 22
companies. turning out $30,000,000
worth of product.
Comparing this with the co fig-
ures from the some report ting

value of the product of our gas in-
dustry was only 14 times as much
as the value of matches made. In
other words. if we used gas with the
