C. Many fascinating fictions are fixed be liefs in the minds of the natives of the island. They believe a cypress hush was miraculously planted to shelter a statue of the City's patron saint. Giovanni Orsinl. and that the same saint's spirit nourishes it. They also believe that the hook which the Lion of St. Mark holds was snapped shut when Venice relinquished the is- land. rather than that the statue was carved that way. The town has less than 20,000 population and fairly breathes a medieval spirit. The houses are built so close together that vehicle traffic ifi almost impossible. and the stroen are so crooked that pedes- trians had difficulty getting around. This was hwause of military net-es- slty at the time the artistic little city was vt-t-nted. It is this cheap grade of stones that ! has given Mexican opals a poor repu- i tttlon among jewelry buyers. The fact is, a tine Mexican opal is a bean- tlful gem. It differs from Australian topals in that the latter are usually ‘, opaque to transmit light, whereas Mex- : lean opals are usually clear.

Even With Primitive Methods, Our Southern Neighbors Dig Beautifui Stones From Their Mines. The Queretnro district is i110 chief source of supply of Mexican opais. All the mines are owned by Mexicans. No foreign capital is invested. Oid- fash- ioned methods of mining are employed and nctivit) is desuitory If prices are ”NJ/0’“ becomes feverish. If prices drop off, few opals are mined. MEXICAN OPALS IN DEMAND Most of the best quality stones go to Mexico City. Dealers there market them in other countries.

In London there is said to be t deep-seated belief among East’end girls in the etficacy of dragon‘s-blood as a lovephiitre. Touching on the same subject, a Whitechapel herbalist relates‘ how a girl. after buying some tormentil root of his, volunteered the information that, having been jilted by her young man, she consulted a “wise woman." who told her to get a bunch of tormentii and burn it at midnight on a Friday. The taithless one would then revert to his al- legiance. On three successive Satub days she returned for fresh supplies of the root. when either the charm worked or she grew tired of it, as she ceased her purchases. Mandrake. too, is largely purchased by superstitious cockneys. Every Sunday at a pitch by Pettimat lane a hawker does a profitable trade in slices of mandrake, which. he assures his audience. wilil cure everything.

Apes Have Poor Sight. “Apes are frequently short-sighted and require spectacles as much as human beings do." This is a state- ment of Prof. Behr, of Kiel. The Vpl‘ofes‘snr placed 25 monkeys in a darkened mom and after a careful eye inspectinn found that 18 of the animals sufl'eretl from myopia (short sight) in a high degree. The be- havior of thew monkeys was entirely similar to that of shortslghted human beings in a similar environment. They approached objects lying on the ground with bowed head and bent back and finally they grasped the ar- ticles in their paws and held them close to the eyes to obtain a better view. A micrnsmpic exqmtnutlon of the eye pupils disvlosed that among the monkeys the myopic condition was in- herited‘ A Slight Jar. “The professor seems a trifle M dmxn" - / ‘szt a little- flahbergastgg/fie uses very correct E.ngllsh“ ‘And a slungy 3%! had to call a flunrwalker to nterpret for her.

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 107 FACES A $29,000.00 DEFICIT , (Continued from Page 1) hriklgc over the period until the leg islnture gives relief. In (ii-(lento provide adequytely for the next tw0 years, the Board of Ed- ucation of District 107 should have $30,000 in addition to its tax returns, and the Board makes this aPpeal to the people of Highland Park in the c‘unfidence that this amount, at least, will be raised. Other towns of this site are raising considerably inore. Winnetka is raising $400,000; H‘he plan is to divide the district into sections, and to have a Captain in charge of each section. Every citi- zen will be asked to tax himself vol- urftarily for his fair share of the to- tal quota. These voluntary taxes are payable either in full March 15th, 1920 or one fourth on each of the dates March 15th, May 15th, July 15th and September 15th. If the emer. gency should still exist in 1921 the subscriber is urged to indicate his willingness to continue his voluntary tax in that year also. The General Committee supporting this plan to provide emergency‘funds for the school district will be headed by the Mayer, and Mr. E. B. Metzel. President of the District Sbhool Bbard, will have charge of the can- vass. The Board of Education earnestly hopes that through the success of the: vdluntsiry tax campaign, it will be enabled to carry out its plans to meet the pressing needs of the school disâ€"‘ trict. Highland Park should be, and is, one Pf the most progressive com- munities in the country. The Board feels that the people would not listen to a plan to curtail the work of the school, such as giving up its teaching offi‘Manual Training, Domestic Sci- ence, Music, the Special Classes for Beckward Pupils, the Kindergsrten, the work being done by the Assistant to the Superintendent and the school Nurse. Highland Park gives lsvfmhly to everything that even indirectly promotes the well be- ing of its citizens. Here is need com- pared with which all other needs are really secondary. Our schools stand at the foundation of our community and our national life. Our children and our future are one. To d2 less than our best for our children would not be like Highland Park.
